This is a republished reflection on the feast of the saint we celebrate today, Saint Catherine of Alexandria.

A new commentary will be published in about five minutes.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Catherine of Alexandria, pray for us.

This reflection on the life of Saint John of the Cross was written for and published in To Live in Light of Eternity, Volume 6, in 2020 and is being offered to readers of this site for the fourth time.

It had been my hope to have another original commentary completed in time for publication today. However, given the work that I have done in the last few days and the fact that yesterday's articles (On the Feast of Pope Saint Clement I, The Amorality Industrial Complex, parts two and three, The Amorality Industrial Complex, part three) were not published until after two o'clock in the morning, I have hit a wall and just have to get back to my work later today, the Twenty-seventh and Last Sunday after Pentecost. 

As today, November 24, 2024, is my seventy-third birthday, I ask prayers for the repose of the souls of my late parents, Dr. Albert Henry Martin Droleskey and Mrs. Norma Florence Red Fox Droleskey. Thank you.

Our Lady of he Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John of the Cross, pray for us.

Sant Chrysogonus, pray for us.

This is a very long commentary.

However, to make things a bit easier for readers I have spun off the second part, The Amorality Industrial Complex, part three, as the first part of this current commentary deals with general principles of a right social order that should be familiar to longtime readers. The second part, though, deals with the application of those principles to the concrete circumstances facing the United States of America now. Part three could stand on its own, which is why I have linked to it above to save readers who are familiar with the general principles the trouble of finding material relevant to the presidential transition.

Although I am very tired, I hope to have a brief original commentary published tomorrow, the Twenty-sixth and Last Sunday after Pentecost and the Commemoration of Saint John of the Cross, Sunday, November 24, 2024 (that date of November 24 seems awfully familiar to me). The next commentary will not deal with Red Chinese cooptation of faithful Catholics, which follow in a day or two after yet another review of some new documentation of the horrors of the so-called “covid vaccines.”

A republished reflection on Pope Saint Clement I was published about twenty minutes ago.

Well, I think I had better get some sleep.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Clement I, pray for us.

Saint Felicity, pray for us.

This is a republished reflection about Pope Saint Clement that includes the following passage from Dom Prosper Gueranger's The Liturgical Year:

With only one exception, all of the documents which attest Clement's intervention in the affairs of distant churches have perished with time; but the one that remains shows us in full action the monarchical power of the bishop of Rome at that primitive epoch. The church of Corinth was disturbed with intestine quarrels caused by jealously against certain pastors. These divisions, the germ of which had appeared even in St. Paul's time, had destroyed all peace, and were causing scandal to the very pagans. The Corinthians at last felt the necessity of putting an end to a disorder which might be prejudicial to the extension of the Christian faith; and for this purpose it was requisite to seek assistance from outside. The apostle had all departed this life, except St. John, who was still the light of the Church. It was not great distance from Corinth to Ephesus where the apostle resided: yet it was not to Ephesus but to Rome that the church of Corinth turned. Clement examined the case referred to his judgment by that church, and sent to Corinth five commissaries to represent the Apostolic See. They were bearers of a letter, which St. Irenaeus calls potentissimas litteras. It was considered at the time so beautiful and so apostolic, that it was long read in many churches as a sort of continuation of the canonical Scriptures. Its tone is dignified but paternal, according to St. Peter's advice to pastors. There is nothing in it of a domineering spirit; but the grave and solemn language bespeaks the universal pastor, whom none can disobey without disobeying God Himself. These words so solemn and so firm wrought the desired effect: peace was re-established in the church of Corinth, and the messengers of the Roman Pontiff soon brought back the happy news. A century later, St. Dionysius, bishop of Corinth, expressed to Pope St. Soter the gratitude still felt by his flock towards Clement for the service he had rendered. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year.)

Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B,, understood that there was and can never be such thing as "resistance" to a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter.

The next original article will be published in about ten to fifteen minutes.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Clement, pray for us.

Saint Felicity, pray for us.

This is a very brief, republished reflection on the heroic virtues of Saint Ceclia, whose feast is celebrated today, November 22, 2024.

Work is progressing the concluding part of The Amorality Industrial Complex, part one, wihch I expect to have published by later today or tomorrow, the Feast of Pope Saint Clement I. 

Oh, lest I forget. There are a lot of Catholics who in heightened states of anxiety about the efforts of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., to provoke the Russian Federation into a world war by sending long range missiles to Ukraine that can reach deep into Russian territory?

Sure, this is terrible on many counts and I will be writing a commentary about it after I complete part two of my current series and then go on to give the so-called Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association a bit of my attention (and it will part whatever of "Benedictus Qui Venit Nomine Domini" after the commentary on Ukraine).

Why the fear?

Where is the faith?

We have nothing to fear from the forces of the world, the flesh, and devil if we persevere in a state of Sanctifying Grace with the help of the graces that Our Lady send us. 

Do not let the adversary steal your peace, and do not let him steal your advent, which begins with First Vespers, on Saturday, November 30, 2024 (which ist the Feast of Saint Andrew, of course). 

Trust Our Lord. 

Have confidence in the maternal protection of Our Lady and just pray her Most Holy Rosary. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Cecilia, pray for us.

Today Thursday, November 21, 2024, js the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is made secondarily. This is a short reflection on the feast day, which is followed by an appendix including the description of the Presentation of Our Lady as found in The New English Edition of The Mystical City of God.

Part one of a two-part series, The Amorality Industrial Complex, part one, was published late yesterday afternoon. Part two will follow either later today or around this time tomorrow.

Our Lady, Ark of the New Covenant, pray for us.

Saints Joachim and Anne, pray for us.

Finally, although a few people have provided us with donations in recent days upon being entreated privately to do so, I ask those who remain as readers of this site and have to financial wherewithal to make a non-tax-deductible financial gift to do so now as the need is urgent.

Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Some readers have expressed my displeasure with my criticism of Robert Francis Kennedy, Jr.’s, lifelong support for the chemical and surgical killing of the preborn.

Well, be prepared. There is more criticism in this commentary, which includes the anti-life record of a man, Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has actually vivisected living human beings to extract their beating hearts into the bodies of recipients.

No country can be made “great” or “healthy” if its people are not striving for holiness or, worse yet, if its laws provide protection to grave moral evils and as sin is celebrated widely in what passes for “popular culture.”

No compromises.

No concessions.

It is either Christ or Chaos.

Behold the chaos.

Part two of this commentary should appear sometime tomorrow, the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Thursday, November 21, 2024.

Finally, although a few people have provided us with donations in recent days upon being entreated privately to do so, I ask those who remain as readers of this site and have to financial wherewithal to make a non-tax-deductible financial gift to do so now as the need is urgent.

Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Felix of Valois, pray for us.

This is a republished reflection on the suffering endured by the very first member of the Third Order of Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, who suffered much at the hands of her family members and even at the hands of the poor whose welfare she provided so generously when her husband, Louis, was the Landgrieve of Thuringia.

It is my hope to have the next original article published by tomorrow, Wednesday, November 20, 2024, the Feast of Saint Felix of Valois. 

In case you missed it, Bergoglio Extols and Idolizes the Very Pagan Practices that Our Lady Sought to Eradicate was published early yesterday morning.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, pray for us.

Saint Pontianus, pray for us.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio has, of course, engaged in an unremitting warfare against Catholic Faith, Worship, and Morals.

Four years after having authorized the “Amazonian Rite” following the so-called Amazonian Synod, replete with its worship of the idol Pachamama, he has now authorized the “Mayan Rite” heedless of the fact (or maybe with the full knowledge of the fact) that Our Lady herself appeared to Juan Diego atop Tepeyac Hill.

Although this commentary is deadly serious, perhaps the Argentine Apostate might investigate “inculturating” the conciliar liturgy with the Ogalala Rite, popularized by my late mother’s adoptive father, my grandfather, Chief Red Fox, parts of which would be: The Entrance, The Introduction,  The Pow Wow, and The War March.

Not to be overlooked would an “inculturation of the Gospel” for the people of Bensonhurst (or, more accurately, Bushwick), Brooklyn with the Hucklebuck Rite.

Another possibility might be the Hekwai Rite that borrows substantially (as in Larry Storch stealing directly from) the Hucklebuck Rite.

All levity aside, however, it is far past time for Catholics of good will to flee from the abomination of desolation that is the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical travesty and everything else to do with the counterfeit church of conciliarism and its bogus hierarchy, bogus clergy, condemned doctrines, false Scriptural exegeses, Marxist-Leninist/Globalist politics, and pastoral practices that reaffirmed hardened sinners in their lives of perdition.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

The title of this commentary comes from a remark made by former Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, upon his 2018 nomination by then President Donald John Trump to head the gargantuan panoply of alphabet agencies under the department’s nominal supervision.

The irony, though, is that the same Alex Azar who spoke about protecting the well-being on the unborn played an active role in promoting the cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all “protocols” for treating those infect with the Wuhan Virus, and was, as the former head of Eli Lily Pharmaceuticals, instrumental in helping to shape Donald John Trump’s warped Operation Warp Speed, which produced “vaccines” that continue to sicken, maim, and kill untold hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

Now, though, President-elect Donald John Trump has appointed the fully pro-abortion Robert Francis Kennedy, Jr., for the position that had held by Azar for the last two years of his first administration. Kennedy supports the chemical and surgical execution of preborn children but has been one of the foremost critics of the harm done by all vaccines in general and the Wuhan Virus poised jabs in particular.

This is all but the consequence of a world where the forces anti-Incarnational forces of Modernity have been joined by the forces of Modernism within the counterfeit church of conciliarism to spit on the Social Reign of Christ the King in favor of the “sovereignty” of man over that which he has no authority whatsoever: the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law.

May God have mercy on us all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Gertude the Great, pray for us.
