A new article is in the process of being written. Unfortunately, duties to the family must take precedence, and one of my Lenten resolutions is stop staying up until 2:00 a.m. to complete articles. I hope to have the next article will be posted by tomorrow, Thursday, February 19, 2015.

This is article is a revised and republished reflection on the beginning of our Lenten journey into the desert of prayer, penance, sacrifice, mortification, and almsgiving. Another republished article will follow in a few minutes.

May we ask Our Lady to send us all of the graces necessary to make this Lent of 2015 the best one of our lives as we seek to prepare to enter deep into the Paschal Triduum of Our Lord six weeks from tomorrow, that is, on Maundy Thursday, April 2, 2015.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Another late/early hour.

Although some are aghast at the fact that Lorenzo “Cardinal” Baldisseri endorsed the condemned Modernist precept of dogmatic evolutionism last month, the fact remains that this apostate is in perfect continuity with the conciliar “popes,” some of whom have endorsed it by means of the slogans “living tradition” and Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI’s “hermeneutic of continuity.” There is, however, nothing “new” in what Lorenzo Baldisseri said last month. Heretics never say anything “new.”

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

It was a little over twenty-four hours ago, that is, after Midnight on Friday, February 13, 2015, that the completion of this article had been interrupted as a result of the loss of internet service, a condition that was not fixed until several hours later. Penance is better than ever in 2015! I am sorry, however, for the delay.

This commentary deals with recent remarks made by one of Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s Commissars, Reinhard Marx, a disciple of Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI. Marx’s revolutionary comments, which reflect Bergoglio’s own apostate views, are contrasted with the work of Saints Anthony Mary Claret and Francis Solano and the writings of Saint Alphonsus de Liguori and Saint Leonard of Port Maurice.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Valentine, pray for us.

Today is the one hundred fifty-seventh anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in the Grotto of Massabielle near Lourdes, France. Our Lady explained to the fourteen year-old Bernadette that we must do penance for our sins and for those of others. Can we do any less in our day?

Indeed, the state of the Church Militant on earth and of the world-at-large has worsened as the sins of men have grown more numerous and more daring and as most baptized Catholics have been deprived of access to Sanctifying Grace by virtue of the invalid sacraments offered in the counterfeit church of conciliarism. God is not going to permit any country that kills the innocent preborn with legal impunity and kills souls in the name of the falsehoods of "freedom of speech" and "freedom of the press" and "freedom of religion" and a general sense of legal and cultural licentiousness to know long term material prosperity. Then again, these merchants of death have been enabled by the conciliar revolutionaries, who believe that signs of "outward penance belong to a different era in the history of the Church."

We must indeed take Our Lady's injunction, "Penance! Penance! Penance! Pray to God for sinners," most seriously as we pray as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit. Lent is coming in but two weeks. We must prepare for Lenten penances by embrace a spirit of penance year-round.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

Saint Bernadette Soubirous, pray for us.

This is a very brief commentary as the parody of what Jorge Mario Bergoglio is likely to say before a joint session of the Congress of the United States of America seven months, fourteen days from now took was not posted until long after Midnight yesterday.

Today’s brief commentary, which revisits a few points made over three months ago now, deals with Raymond Leo “Cardinal” Burke’s recent interview that was aired as part of a French television program on Sunday, February 8, 2015, Sexagesima Sunday and the Commemoration of Saint John of Matha.

Unfortunately for “Cardinal” Burke, however, his plan of “resisting” a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter has been denounced by none other than Pope Leo XIII and by the eminent theologian, the late Monsignor Joseph Clifford Fenton. Indeed, Monsignor Fenton condemned the use of the “tricks of shoddy minimism on the part of those who believe that they ignore, if not overtly criticize, any decision that a true pope causes to be inserted into the Acta Apostolicae Sedis.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

Saint Scholastica, pray for us.

A bit of a change of pace for today’s commentary.

Although written with broad strokes that are meant to caricature and parody Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s positions on immigration, income inequality, climate change, universal health care, etc., this article contains the draft of the sort of address to Congress that the false “pontiff” might wind up giving on September 24, 2015, the Feast of Our Lady of Ransom. Although the Argentine Apostate will be a bit more nuanced and less partisan than is the case in my parody, it is doubtlessly going to be the case that the members of the organized crime family of the naturalist “left” are going to be applauding vigorously while those in the false opposite of the naturalist “right” will be very discomfited. It is also possible that “Pope Francis” will throw “pro-life” Catholics a few more bones than are contained in this parody.

What is certain is that Jorge Mario Bergolio will speak not one word about eternal salvation except to imply that those who do not take “action” on the issues he raises with Congress are headed for a bad end at the Particular Judgment.

Again, this is a parody. As with most parodies, though, it is based on Bergoglio’s own words and those of other conciliar revolutionaries that I have heard uttered at various points during my days as a “fightin’ conservative” on the forests of Mindanao without realizing that I was “fightin’” to keep Catholicism in a counterfeit ape of the Catholic Church. So are many today.

Our Lady, Mother of God, pray for us.

Saint Cyril of Alexandria, pray for us.

Saint Apollonia, pray for us.

Another late hour. This is the concluding part of my commentary on the reigning caesar’s speech at the “National Prayer Breakfast” on Thursday, February 5, 2015, the Feast of Saint Agatha.

The conclusion focuses on the identical positions about “religious liberty” and “separation of Church and State” held by Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro and Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis, who is himself in perfect conformity with his predecessors in the conciliar “Petrine Ministry.” A discussion of the continued misrepresentation of “The Inquisition,” which never existed as such, serves as the conclusion to this commentary.

The next article on this site will be entitled “Bucking for Obama’s Job,” which is what Senor Bergoglio is attempting to do by serving as advocate for junk science the way that he is an advocate in the theological realm of junk theology and junk history. These two figures of Antichrist, Obama and Bergoglio, are really interchangeable. Astounding.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Romuald, pray for us.

It is getting to the point where it is almost impossible to distinguish between the words of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro and Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentine Apostate who is masquerading as “Pope Francis.” Perhaps Obama/Soetoro is bucking for Jorge’s job after the latter resigns or dies. Obama/Soetoro’s words at the “National Prayer Breakfast” yesterday could have been given by Bergoglio himself. Then again, much as it has been, continuously over the course of the past nearly twenty-three months. This is part one of an undetermined number of subsequent articles.

As the hours is again very, very late (or early), there is no time to create an “update” page whereby I can provide a hyperlink to the latest post on Novus Ordo Watch Wire blog, upon which one can find a link to Mr. Steven Speray’s refutation of some of the “canon law” arguments used by those in the “resist and recognize” movement. Mind you, this is not even to mention that the whole concept of “resist and recognize” was condemned by Pope Leo XIII in Epistola Tua, June 17, 1885, and Est Sane Molestum, December 17, 1888.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Titus, pray for us.

Saint Dorothy, pray for us.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio has signed a decree declaring "Archbishop" Oscar Romero to be a martyr for the Catholic Faith, something that is explored in this commentary, which was posted several hours after Midnight on the Feast of Saint Agatha. It has been revised and expanded in several places, including the correction of three typographical errors.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

Saint Agatha, pray for us.
