January 17, 2016, Update: Second Sunday after the Epiphany and the Commemoration of Saint Antony of the Desert

While I thank you for checking this website today, the work on my next commentary, which is turning out to be a missive on the quadrennial farce that is a presidential election cycle, is proceeding methodically.

As I will not be writing as much about this farce of naturalism as I have in past election cycles, I want to make the commentary a sort of “one-stop shopping” reference point to explain that each of the naturalists seeking the presidential nomination of the organized crime family of the naturalist “right” is at variance with multiple precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law, starting with the fact that each and every single one of them, including three of the men (Marco Rubio, Christopher Christie, John Ellis Bush) who debated in the “varsity” or “main event” debate on Thursday, January 14, 2016, the Feast of Saint Hilary of Poitiers, and the Commemoration of Saint Felix of Nola, who are practicing what passes for Catholicism in the conciliar structures is clueless about First and Last Things. Clueless. 

The completion of the article that consumed the entirety of my time yesterday, Saturday, January 16, 2016, the Feast of Pope Saint Marcellus I, will be delayed by a day or two more as the Argentine Apostate, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is going to the Rome Synagogue to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of “Saint” John Paul II’s becoming the first conciliar “pope” to pay his obeisance to the counterfeit church of conciliarism’s Talmudic masters. As was the case six years ago when Joseph Alois Ratzinger visited the Rome Synagogue on Sunday, January 18, 2010 (see Saint Peter and Anti-Peter), Bergoglio is not going there to see the unconditional conversion of the Jews with urgency. No, Jorge will be reaffirming Jews in their false religion as he states once again what he wrote in Evangelii Gaudium, November 26, 2013, namely, that the Old Covenant has never been abrogated and is forever enduring. He is a heretic.

Who says so?

Well, let’s try Pope Pius XII for one:

28.That He completed His work on the gibbet of the Cross is the unanimous teaching of the holy Fathers who assert that the Church was born from the side of our Savior on the Cross like a new Eve, mother of all the living. [28] "And it is now," says the great St. Ambrose, speaking of the pierced side of Christ, "that it is built, it is now that it is formed, it is now that is .... molded, it is now that it is created . . . Now it is that arises a spiritual house, a holy priesthood." [29] One who reverently examines this venerable teaching will easily discover the reasons on which it is based.

29.And first of all, by the death of our Redeemer, the New Testament took the place of the Old Law which had been abolished; then the Law of Christ together with its mysteries, enactments, institutions, and sacred rites was ratified for the whole world in the blood of Jesus Christ. For, while our Divine Savior was preaching in a restricted area -- He was not sent but to the sheep that were lost of the house of Israel [30] -the Law and the Gospel were together in force; [31] but on the gibbet of his death Jesus made void the Law with its decrees, [32] fastened the handwriting of the Old Testament to the Cross, [33] establishing the New Testament in His blood shed for the whole human race. [34] "To such an extent, then," says St. Leo the Great, speaking of the Cross of our Lord, "was there effected a transfer from the Law to the Gospel, from the Synagogue to the Church, from many sacrifices to one Victim, that, as our Lord expired, that mystical veil which shut off the innermost part of the temple and its sacred secret was rent violently from top to bottom." [35]

30. On the Cross then the Old Law died, soon to be buried and to be a bearer of death, [36] in order to give way to the New Testament of which Christ had chosen the Apostles as qualified ministers; [37] and although He had been constituted the Head of the whole human family in the womb of the Blessed Virgin, it is by the power of the Cross that our Savior exercises fully the office itself of Head in His Church. "For it was through His triumph on the Cross," according to the teaching of the Angelic and Common Doctor, "that He won power and dominion over the gentiles"; [38] by that same victory He increased the immense treasure of graces, which, as He reigns in glory in heaven, He lavishes continually on His mortal members it was by His blood shed on the Cross that God's anger was averted and that all the heavenly gifts, especially the spiritual graces of the New and Eternal Testament, could then flow from the fountains of our Savior for the salvation of men, of the faithful above all; it was on the tree of the Cross, finally, that He entered into possession of His Church, that is, of all the members of His Mystical Body; for they would not have been united to this Mystical Body. (Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis, June 29, 1943.)

There is really nothing new in the conciliar universe. However, I will complete a commentary on the false “pope’s” visit to the Rome Synagogue before posting the long political commentary assuming that the Vatican website posts Jorge’s obeisance, which will include references to Nostra Aetate, October 28, 1965, the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, and condemnations of anti-Semitism, in a timely manner.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Antichrist's Interchangeable Spare Parts, Part 1

Today’s commentary focuses a bit on the reigning caesar’s unapologetic defense of his “transformational agenda,” which is doing to the Constitution of the United States of America what Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s own “transformational agenda” of false mercy is doing to the last remaining vestiges of recognizable Catholicism in his false religious sect. Most of the commentary is designed to provide some perspective to the fact that the two major figures of the world at this time, Obama/Soetoro and Bergoglio, are just the ultimate end products of the false premises upon which their respective belief systems are founded.

Part two of this commentary will focus on the supposed “response” given to the reigning caesar’s speech by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, whose “respect” for so-called “modern marriages” signals yet again that that establishment Republicans have made their peace with associating the word “marriage” with the sin of Sodom.

Obama/Soetoro’s agenda is driven by his Eurosocialist ideology that requires a “soft” totalitarianism to implement while the masses are diverted by bread and circuses.

The agenda of the establishment members of the false opposite of the naturalist “right” is driven by the weather vanes of focus-groups.

We need Our Lady’s help more than ever before.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Hilary of Poitiers, pray for us.

Credo in Unum Deum, part two of a continuing series

At a very late/early hour (this article would not have been completed for several more days if work had been suspended again), I hereby present part two of Credo In Unum Deum.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Hyginus I, pray for us

Revised: From Nazareth We Come, In Nazareth We Must Live

Today, the Sunday within the Octave of the Epiphany, is the Feast of the Holy Family of Nazareth.

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ chose to become Man in His Most Blessed Mother's Virginal and Immaculate Womb by the power of the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Ghost, and place Himself, the Co-Equal and Co-Eternal Son of God the Father, under subjection to mere creatures His Most Blessed Mother, the fairest flower of our race, and to Good Saint Joseph, his foster-father. The subjection of the God-Man to the authority of His Most Blessed Mother and his foster-father, whom He had chosen from all eternity to provide Him with the earthly love and care and stewardship of a father seeking only to please God with his every thought, word an deed, teaches us that we, who came from families and who, in many instances, are raising families of our own, must be subject to all legitimate authority, duly constituted, in all things that do not pertain to sinful commands.

Children are supposed to learn this subjection in the household from their tenderest days, seeing in their fathers the image of Saint Joseph and in their mothers the image of Our Lady. Children are supposed to realize that God in the very Flesh obeyed His creatures in the Holy Family of Nazareth. So must they.

Parents must, for their part, foster an atmosphere within the family of selflessness, charity, forgiveness and joy, centering the family's life on daily assistance at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (if at all possible), regular time spent in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, the daily recitation of Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary, supplications to Our Lady's Most Chaste Spouse, Saint Joseph, home enthronement to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Total Consecration to Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through the same Immaculate Heart of Mary, Scriptural reading and family reading time, especially about the lives of the saints, and a refusal to participate in the rot of popular culture. This requires sacrifice and the willingness to be misunderstood, calumniated and rejected even by one's own family members as we protect our children from those cultural currents that come from the devil and are designed to lead each of us to Hell for all eternity.

To eschew worldliness one must be ready to embrace the Holy Poverty of the Holy Family of Nazareth, detaching oneself from the material acquisitiveness of our consumer society, shaped by Judeo-Calvinist materialism, and to live in light of First Things and Last Things as we week to acquire the only thing that matters: Sanctifying Grace in this life and eternal life in the glory of the Beatific Vision of Father, Son and Holy Ghost in Heaven.

Finally, yes, the next article is nearly completion. Thanks for your patience.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we love you, save souls!

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, pray for us now and in death's agony.

A blessed Feast of the Holy Family of Nazareth to you all.

Credo In Unum Deum, part one of a three part-series

My commentary on the Circus of the Midget Naturalists was interrupted once again when I discovered Jorge Mario Bergoglio is now in the business of making short videos.

This is the first of a three part series to deal with the Argentine Apostate's video whose message is a direct violation of the First and Second Commandments.

This is all a chastisement. We need Our Lady's help more than ever before.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, pray for us.

Revised: Manifesting Christ to the World

Our Lord was made manifest on Christmas Day to the handful of Jewish people, including the shepherds in the field who were sent to adore Him by the angels who had announced the following:

And there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock. And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a great fear. And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:

For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying: Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will. And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.

And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. (Luke 2: 6-20.)

Today's feast, the Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord, known colloquially in Ireland as "Little Christmas" and in many other places as Three Kings' Day, celebrates Our Lord's manifestation to the whole world through the Gentiles. Indeed, the Offertory for today's Mass explains that all kings shall adore Christ King and that all nations shall serve Him:

"The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts: and all kings of the earth shall adore Him: all nations shall serve Him."

The United States of America is no exception to this. We must pray for the day when the leaders of this country, founded on the falsehoods of Protestantism and Judeo-Masonry that are so hateful to Our King, will adore Him as their King and the day when this nation will serve Him as it acknowledges His Social Kingship over it by submitting in all that pertains to the good of souls to the authority of the Catholic Church that He Himself founded upon the Rock of Peter, the Pope. We are suffering at the hands of statists today because the men of Modernity who believed that they had no obligation to offer public worship to Christ the King through His true Church set us on a course that can result only in the triumph of the civil state over the King of Kings Who was made manifest to Saints Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar on this day. We must make Him manifest in our own lives at at all times, never fearing to suffer in behalf of the truths of the Holy Faith or to suffer in the cause of justice when souls are placed into jeopardy needlessly even by some of our own true shepherds.

A blessed Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord to you all!

Keeping Silent About the Holy Name of Jesus

January is the month of the Holy Name of Jesus.

This brief reflection reminds readers that the heretical blasphemer named Jorge Mario Bergoglio keeps his silence about the Holy Name of Jesus when speaking before groups that might include as few as one person who rejects Our Lord’s Sacred Divinity. Such is the warped, twisted man of an apostate, a man whose long-held false beliefs expelled him from the bosom of Holy Mother Church in his youth.

The next original commentary on this site will discuss the silence about the Holy Name of Jesus that is to be found amongst the lords of the world in the farce that is American politics and governance.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Telesphorus, pray for us.

Revised: To Fulfill All Righteousness

A blessed New Year 2016 of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to you!

This is a revised reflection for today's feast and Holy Day Obligation, the Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which is also the First Friday of the month of January, the month of Holy Name of Jesus.

As a good deal of transcription is necessary to complete for the next article, which will be about the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus that is celebrated on Sunday, January 3, 2016, I must beg your patience. It is just taking me longer to complete the articles, and overnight postings such as the one four days ago are something that cannot be done on a regular basis any longer. Thank you for your understanding.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

If It Is In The Acta Apostolicae Sedis, It Is Official Teaching

The production of articles has slowed. I regret that this is the case. However, I am doing what I can as time and strength permit.

This new article, which includes information that will be familiar to longtime readers that will help newer readers to this site, amplifies the fact that everything that a true and legitimate Successor causes to be published in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis is binding on Catholics.

Ah, as the Catholic Church cannot be the source of any kind of error, ambiguity or heresy, the fact that heretical propositions have been published by the conciliar “popes” is proof that they belong to a false religion and do not hold exercise any kind of legitimate magisterial authority. (Links are provided to two important posts at Novus Ordo Watch Wire that document this fact beyond any doubt.)

Additionally, Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s recent blasphemy against Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph is discussed near the end of this rather long commentary.

I will return to the subject of the Midget Naturalists and their circus in my next commentary. There is not much “new” to be said that I have not written over a thousand times before on this site. However, I will make every effort to provide an analysis worthy of your time.

A dyslexic error, writing the year 1957 instead of 1958 for the beginning of the current line of antipopes, has been corrected after a reader kindly brought this to my attention. Some of the text had to be rewritten after it went "poof," and it was approaching three o'clock in the morning when the error occurred. I am sorry.

A continued blessed Christmas to you all!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Revised: A Martyr for the Church's Liberties

There was a time when there were real, honest-to-goodness Catholic Archbishops of Canterbury. Let's see here, that would be from the time of Saint Augustine of Canterbury in 597 A.D. to the time of Reginald Cardinal Pole in 1558, a period of nearly a millennium. The fortieth legitimate Archbishop of Canterbury is the saint whose feast we celebrate today, Saint Thomas a Becket, who was indeed a martyr for the Church's liberties.

Saint Thomas a Becket asserted the rights of Christ the King as the Archbishop of Canterbury, insisting that clerics accused of civil crimes be tried in ecclesiastical, not civil, courts. This led him to clash with his onetime friend, King Henry II of the House of Plantagenet. Prefiguring another English king named Henry (this one, number The Eighth, from the House of Tudor), Henry II could not abide his former friend's resistance to his, Henry's attempt to assert royal power over the Church, leading him to uttering the words that would inspire three of his barons to murder the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas a Becket, on this date in 1170, eight hundred thirty-nine years ago now. The latter Henry, the one called "The Eighth," had Saint Thomas a Becket's relics destroyed as his martyrdom was a reminder to one and all that the Church has Divine Rights superior to those of the civil state.

King Henry II had to do public penance for uttering the words that resulted in the martyrdom of Saint Thomas a Becket. His son, King John I, having been slow to learn the lessons of his public penance, was forced by his barons and noblemen in the year 1215 to sign the Magna Carta to guarantee the rights of the Church under civil law in England. This was a victory for the liberties of the Catholic Church that had been won by the blood of this great champion of the Social Reign of Christ the King, Saint Thomas a Becket, whose intercession we seek this day and every day for the restoration of the Social Reign of Christ the King in all nations, including the United States of America.

Indeed, the situation we face in the United States of America today is the direct result of the overthrow of the Social Reign of Christ the King wrought by the Protestant Revolt and the rise of Judeo-Masonry. Nations founded in the belief that men can pursue the common temporal good without subordinating themselves to the Deposit of Faith that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ entrusted exclusively to His Catholic Church for Its eternal safekeeping and infallible explications who believe that they can be "good" and "virtuous" on their own powers without belief in, access to or cooperation with Sanctifying Grace--are bound to degenerate over the course of time. Statism is the only end result of the process of decay that must occur when nations reject the simple truth that Catholicism is the one and only foundation of personal and social order. And it is the statists of the present moment, starting with Barack Hussein Obama, who sacrifice the legitimate national sovereignty and national security of their own nations in order to demonstrate their "solidarity" with "bettering" the world on a "global" basis.

A continued blessed Christmas and a blessed Feast of Saint Thomas a Becket to you all!

(Yes, the next original article continues to be written. It's late enough as it is on the morning of December 29, 2015. This revised reflection will have to do for the time being. There is a brief preface to this revised article that asks for prayers for Aden Hailu, the twenty-year old college student whose very life is being threatened by the medical industry's sham "brain death" money-making scheme, and for those, such as Dr. Paul Byrne, who are seeking to save her life from state-sponsored vivisection. Aden's case is to be heard in court again today in Nevada at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Standard Time. Please join us in praying that Aden's life with be spared. Thank you.)
