Jorge Mario Bergoglio has made it possible for revolutionaries such as Jean-Claude Hollerich and many others to manifest their patent disbelief in the nature of God and His Divine Revelation to such an extent that Hollerich, for one says, has been so bold as to say that his false religious sect must listen to the “voice of the people” about the ontological impossibility of changing the Catholic Church’s condemnation of perverse sins against nature.

The “voice of the people”?

The Catholic Church is the voice of God on earth in all that pertains to Faith and Morals. It is not up to Holy Mother Church to listen to “the people.” It is up to the “people” to obey God as He has revealed Himself to them through the true Church.

Quite a difference.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of Feast of Saint Hyacinth, O.P., the great Apostle of the Northland and one of the first members of the Order of Preachers founded by Saint Dominic de Guzman. (Today is also the third day within the Octave of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Octave Day of Saint Lawrence the Deacon.)

Saint Hyacinth's great zeal for souls and his desire to convert pagans out of their diabolical superstitions into the true Faith, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order. Saint Hyacinth, who had such a great and abiding love for Our Lady, who favored him with apparitions, stands in quite a contrast with Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI and his successor, Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Both of these heretics have praised the very false religions that Saint Hyacinth—and every other Catholic missionary—sought to eradicate from the face of the earth by seeking the unconditional conversion of their adherents to the false religion. The difference between Saint Hyacinth's fidelity and apostasy of the conciliar "popes" stark. It is right there in black and white for all who have the grace to see. See for yourself. As considerable time was spent adding links, including a complete library of articles that have appeared about Bergoglio on this site in the fifty-three months, four days, to the preface of this revised article in order to provide readers with a useful and handy resource for those who are new to this site and want to review past articles on Jorge Mario Bergoglio, it has been impossible to add more recent examples of the endless reaffirmations that the Argentine Apostate has given to those who adhere to false religions, including Talmudism, from which he derives much of his "intellectual" and "spiritual" sustenance. In other words, "Pope Francis" is a stooge and servant of Antichrist.  

Here is a list of some recent commentaries in the event that you have missed them: Big Chief Apostate Bergoglio Outdoes Himself in Canada, Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part eighteen, As Forgettable Naturalists Fight Each Other Over Forgettable Things, and The Rosary IS Our Weapon, and We Must Pray It to Fight Evil, Especially That Within Our Own Lives.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Hyacinth, O.P., pray for us.

Saint Lawrence the Deacon, pray for us.

Three commentaries are being published today, Feast of Saint Joachim, the Father of the Blessed Virgin Mary, starting with the reflection linked herein.

The second commentary, As Forgettable Naturalists Fight With Each Other Over Forgettable Things, is my long analysis of all that has transpired within the past week since agents of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation raided former President Donald John Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence/resort after a pro-Clinton Federal magistrate, Bruce Reinhart, issued a search warrant upon the application of an affidavit by the Ministry of Two Sets of “Justice.”

While it may turn out to be the case that the former president, who has a penchant of serving as his own worst enemy and is notoriously careless when it comes to record keeping, did indeed have documents that should have been turned over to the National Archives in compliance with the Presidential Records Act of 1978, the manner in which the all-out raid was conducted suggests very clearly that its real purpose was to secure information—any information—that might, at least in the minds of the same Justice Department lawyers that had worked hard to prove the Russian Collusion hoax, incriminate him in the sad series of events that took place on January 6, 2021, that were examined in Put Not Your Trust in Princes: In the Children of Men in Who There is No Salvation and True Last Year, True This Year, True Forever: Put Not Your Trust in Princes, in the Children of Men in Whom There is No Salvation, 2022 Edition. The former president crossed Don Giuseppe Biden’s third rail when he made an issue of First Grifter Hunter Biden’s making a profit for the “Big Guy” by making complex business deals with Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian oligarchs about matters in which he had no experience, and Biden, who is a pure demagogue, wants revenge. It would be very tragic if the former president gave his enemies the ammunition they need to take him down and to use the reaction to the Mar-a-Lago raid as a veritable Reichstag moment to suppress dissent even more than has been the case heretofore.

In any event, though, these bread-and-circuses pale into insignificance in comparison with the attack upon Our Lady’s Most Holy Rosary that appeared in The Atlantic. The figures of naturalism in the world today are, as Pope Leo XIII once called them, “forgettable” men, most of whom are destined to hell because of their unrepentant lives of self-seeking, scurrility, and perdition. This third commentary is about that attack.

It is much more important—neigh well, vital for our salvation—to come to the defense of Our Lady’s Most Holy Rosary when it is attacked, and it is to this end the final part of my analysis of the Mar-a-Lago raid, which, of course, discusses root causes and reminds readers that governmental systems that no make no room for Christ the King and His true Church must degenerate into rank totalitarianism over time, has been extracted and published as a stand-alone commentary for those who want to “cut to the chase,” so to speak. We need to defend Our Lady and her Most Holy Rosary rather than worry about the forgettable men who keep on attacking each other while most men prefer to wallow in the muck and mire of sin than to live in the light of Christ the King as He has revealed Himself exclusively to us through His Catholic Church.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joachim, pray for us.

Saint Joachim, the father of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God and the Mediatrix of All Graces, knew the contempt that would be visited upon His Divine Grandson, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, sent himself into voluntary exile after he was denounced by a priest of the Old Dispensation for not producing a child after twenty years of marriage to his wife, our good Saint Anne.

It was during his exile that Saint Joachim was visited by an angel, who reminded him of the fact that Abraham's wife, Sarah, did not conceive a child until she was ninety years old, telling him that his wife, Saint Anne, would conceive a daughter named Mary, who would be the Mother of God. Saint Joachim and Saint Anne brought their daughter to the Temple when she was three years old, giving their long-awaited child back to the good God Who had given them to her so that she could be the Mother of their own Saviour, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This should teach us to do everything possible to foster vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated religious life among our children, so that we can give them back to God so as to yield a spiritual bounty of souls in His service, especially in this time of apostasy and betrayal.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Today is the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Commemoration of the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost She who was conceived without stain of Original Sin and who committed no Actual Sins in her life did not have to have her body undergo the corruption of the grave, although she truly died and was buried after her death.

Separated physically from her Divine Son after His Ascension into Heaven on Ascension Thursday, although she received Him in Holy Communion, Our Lady was Assumed body and soul into Heaven to plead for us with her Divine Son as the Queen of Heaven and of Earth, the Queen to whom every man must pledge his heart's oblation, the Queen whom every nation must honor publicly with Rosary Processions.

 Our Lady wants us to be in Heaven with her for all eternity. She wants our bodies to rise up incorrupt and glorious from the grave on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the Living and Dead so that our bodies can be reunited with our souls for all eternity in the glory of Heaven.

We need to ask her to help us make such perfect reparation for our sins in this passing, mortal vale of tears that we will pay the debt of what we our for our sins now rather than in the fires of Purgatory. We need to ask her to help us to be serious about seeking sanctity as the consecrated slaves of her Divine Son through her own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.

What are we waiting for?

As there is just enough work yet to do completing my commentary on the Mar-a-Lago raid a week ago today that would take several more hours of writing, it is my expectation to have the commentary posted no later than late on the Feast of the Asssumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary or on the feast of her father, Saint Joachim. Two other commentaries within the space of the next week. 

Also available for reading on this feast day are: Three Sermons for the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Father Francis X. Weninger, S.J. 

A blessed Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary to you all!

Our Lady, Queen Assumed into Heaven, pray for us.

This is a republished reflection on the life of Saint Clare of Assisi that was published oringinally six years ago. The reflection speaks to the timeless virtues of detachment from the world, self-denial, modesty and a total embrace of holy poverty for love of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His Holy Church.

This reflection emphasizes Saint Clare’s rejection of worldliness and worldly pleasures. No matter what our own sins and failings with respect to worldliness might be now and have been in the past, Saint Clare’s life and holy example inspires us to quit the world once and for all and to prepare for the world to come by storing up treasures in Heaven that do not rust or fade away, and that no thief can take away from us.

Once again, Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part eighteen, was published two days ago. My commentary on the "visit" that a few visitors paid to Mar-a-Lago a few days ago will be published no later than Monday, August 15, 2022, the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

This is a brief reflection, written originally in 2009 and revised over the years, to honor our great Wonder Worker, Saint Philomena and also the commemoration of the feast of Saints Tiburtius and Susanna.

Although our Wonder Worker is not on the universal calendar of the Roman Rite, her cultus was confirmed by none other than Pope Saint Pius X. That's good enough for me! Jansenists and rationalists will have to find some other website to surf as this one makes no room for any skepticism about Saint Philomena and the honor and power with which she has been crowned by Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

This reflection includes text from a 1945 book, Wonder Worker: Saint Philomena, Virgin Martyr, which was written by Cathy Hallack and published with ecclesiastical approbation of the Archdiocese of Dublin, Ireland, in 1945, which takes note of Saint Philomena's vow of virginity, which she made at eleven years of age, and mentions the fact that Diocletian was married to Prisca from 286 A.D. to the time he resigned as Roman emperor in 305 A.D. This means that Diocletian's proposal of marriage was indeed adulterous and bigamous, analogous to that of Herod the Tetrarch himself.

It was thus very touching for us to receive Mass propers for the Wonder worker's feast from an 1898 Missal that included an entire Mass in her holy honor. This gift was sent to us by a friend of ours, one who does not agree with us concerning the true state of the Church Militant in this time of apostasy and betrayal but has not cast us out into the wilderness and down the Orwellian memory hole as lunatics These Mass propers are a tremendous treasure, one that our friend wanted us to share with true priests so that they can offer her Mass, perhaps as a votive Mass on a ferial day, in honor of our Wonder Worker, Saint Philomena. We thank our friend very much for making these propers available for those true priests who may not have had them prior to now. The link to the Mass text can be found within the body of the republished reflection: Feast of Saint Philomena Mass Propers. A Latin-English translation of these propers completed by Mr. Michael Creighton can be found by clicking here--Latin-English Mass Propers for the Feast of Saint Philomena.)

We are very devoted to Saint Philomena and pray the chaplet in her honor as a family every Saturday evening after Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary. I pray her chaplet every day. 

Pope Saint Pius X, who raised the Confraternity of Saint Philomena to an Archconfraternity, told Italian priests in an allocution given in 1912 that no one could claim to be holy while dissenting from the pope:  

Therefore, when we love the Pope, there are no discussions regarding what he orders or demands, or up to what point obedience must go, and in what things he is to be obeyed; when we love the Pope, we do not say that he has not spoken clearly enough, almost as if he were forced to repeat to the ear of each one the will clearly expressed so many times not only in person, but with letters and other public documents; we do not place his orders in doubt, adding the facile pretext of those unwilling to obey – that it is not the Pope who commands, but those who surround him; we do not limit the field in which he might and must exercise his authority; we do not set above the authority of the Pope that of other persons, however learned, who dissent from the Pope, who, even though learned, are not holy, because whoever is holy cannot dissent from the Pope. (Pope Saint Pius X, Allocution Vi ringrazio to priests on the 50th anniversary of the Apostolic Union, November 18, 1912, as found at: “Love the Pope!” – no ifs, and no buts: For Bishops, priests, and faithful, Saint Pius X explains what loving the Pope really entails.)

"Whoever is holy cannot dissent from the Pope."

How ironic it is that those within the Society of Saint Pius X (and the groups or priests who have splintered off from it while maintaining the false, Gallican "resist while recognize" position) and others in the "resist while recognize" movement claim that the conciliar "popes" have been true and legitimate Successors of Saint Peter while dissenting vocally--and very publicly so--from their teaching and disciplinary decisions.

Saint Philomena wants us to be holy, and no one who is holy can dissent from a true pope no matter how many times they protest that they can and not matter how many decades it has been that oneself or one's group has taken a position that is based on a false ecclesiology that has done, if possible, more harm to the authentic Catholic teaching on the papacy than that done by the conciliar revolutionaries themselves.

We are very devoted to Saint Philomena and pray the chaplet in her honor as a family every Saturday evening after Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary. I pray her chaplet every day. 

The next original commentary should appear by tomorrow, the Feast of Saint Clare of Assisi.

Our Lady of the Universal Living Rosary Association, pray for us.

Saint Philomena, pray for us.

Saints Tiburtius and Susanna, pray for us.

Well, after five straight days of writing, I can present to you “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part eighteen,” in which is to be found much new information in addition to a few pieces of material that have been included for the sake of providing an important frame of reference for those who may have forgotten the content of earlier entries in this series as well as for the benefit of those who will be reading this material for the first time.

Although it should go without saying, this is a very lengthy commentary. However, the material within its text is mean to serve as a reference resource for the readers of this site and to assist those who may want to send the article to others they know who may be more open to reexamining their views on the continuing efforts on the part of the public health fascists to deny the harm caused by the “vaccines” and to seek to intimidate those medical professionals who may at least suspect that something is wrong but live in fear of their licenses being revoked.

There is a bit of well-deserved criticism directed at former President Donald John Trump in this commentary for having authorized “Operation Warp Speed” in 2020 at the behest of Big Pharma and their confederates in the Deep State. While it is true that the former president is undergoing one of the gravest injustices any man who had served as president has ever experienced as a result of the Soviet-style “You show me the man, I will show you the crime” double-standard system of injustice that has been used against him in the past seven years since he announced his candidacy for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, this persecution does not indemnify the former president from the criticism he richly deserves for not only pushing for the “salvific” vaccine but for his steadfast refusal to believe that they have caused any harm at all. Trump’s inherent unwillingness and stubborn inability to admit error is partly to blame for the Deep State’s current siege against him, and it is also responsible for his continued blindness that Operation Warp Speed produced warped “jabs” that did not even keep his corrupt, doddering pro-abortion, statist-enabling successor from contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus and then keep being tested for it and has, of course, killed and injured countless thousands of people in the United States and around the world.

Mind you, this commentary does not focus much at all on President Trump, but I do want to alert readers that there is some criticism of him within the text and that it is deserved no matter the injustices in the human order of things that are being visited upon him at this time.

Principally, though, this commentary is about the harm of the vaccines, the multiple efforts to suppress information about that harm, the ongoing schemes of intimidation to deter medical professionals from putting two and two together concerning the harm caused by the “vaccines” and then acting upon their conclusions, the continued outsized role of the Chinese Communist Party in shaping the “narrative” of the plandemic, the shameless attempt by the so-called “public health experts” to use the monkeypox as another “public health emergency,” and an entire section on sound medical treatments recommended by Dr. Peter A. McCullough for those who have contracted the virus.

An important correction to the text of this commentary has been made to repudiate a recommendation that had been made to me to undergo a monoclonal infusion if my own symptoms, which have now cleared in their entirety, had not improved. I had not done my due diligence to inform myself of the immoral manner in which this treatment was derived from the cell lines of aborted babies and am grateful to Our Lord and Our Lady for keeping me from seeking out and obtaining this treatment when it had been recommended to me on July 28, 2022, and I apologize for mentioning the treatment at all without having done that due diligence. I am sorry.

My commentary on the Mar-a-Lago raid will take five or six days in its own right to complete. I thank you in advance for your patience, but I think that the current commentary will keep those who have time to read it occupied for a little while.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Lawrence the Martyr, pray for us.

Saint John Mary Vianney is the patron of diocesan priests, a man who humbly recognized that he was not the brightest pupil, that he was, to use even his own description, slow in his studies. He had great difficulty learning his Latin. Other studies came hard to him as well. He did not give up. Helped by a wonderful mentor, Father Balley, who had worked as a carpenter during the French Revolution so as to hide his identity as a Catholic priest as he offered Mass in various hideaways and without any "communion" with the bishops and priests of the "constitutional church," John Mary Vianney persevered time and time and time again, praying to Saint John Francis Regis for help and guidance.

Yes, he was tempted to quit his studies, believing himself to unworthy of priestly ordination because of his lack of intellectual aptitude. Father Balley told him very pointedly, "You've decided to give in to the devil?"

That knocked some sense into our Saint, and it should knock some sense into any young man today who might have experienced some difficulties and perhaps even gross injustices in their own pursuit of the priesthood.

Never give up. We need priests, especially now in this time of apostasy and betrayal.

Always close to Our Lady, Saint John Mary Vianney was brought to the point of his priestly ordination on August 13, 1815. His superiors judged that his moral qualities had overcome any academic deficiencies that would have held others back from being ordained to the priesthood, and they were vindicated in their judgment by the long and devoted service that he gave to the people of Ars.

Oh yes, sure, he tried to run away from his people on three occasions, wanting to seek the solitude of a monastery. Each time, however, he responded to the pleas of his sheep who loved their shepherd, who spent so much time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and in the confessional to hear the confessions of the thousands of people who flocked from all over the world to the merits of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus applied to their souls through his priestly ministry, and returned home to Ars.

Saint John Mary Vianney, who knew failure in his studies for the priesthood, was a firm supporter of the "patron of failures," Pauline Jaricot, the foundress of Society of the Propagation of the Faith and the Universal Living Rosary Association, and zealously devoted to the cause of our great wonder worker, Saint Philomena.

Saint John Mary Vianney spent himself tirelessly in behalf of the flock that was entrusted to his pastoral care. We need to invoke his intercession so that our own true bishops and priests will be fortified by his example as they seek to serve faithful Catholics, the scattering and wandering sheep of this time of apostasy and betrayal, unto eternity.

Part eighteen of "Sin: More Dangerous Than the Coronavirus" is nearly completed. Only a few more hours of work remain on it, but it is too late for me now to do so prudently. Thus, I will have what has turned out to be another exensive study published in less than twenty-four years to be ready for viewing tomorrow, Wednesday, August 10, 2022, the Feast of Saint Lawrence the Martyr. Almost the entirety of the past four days have spent in writing and refining the text and in the selection of the supporting material to be inserted into its main body or in the appendices. Thank you for your patience.

Finally, although I was going to write another the "Naturally Absurd" series to offer extensive commentary about the lawless administration of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., the Soviet-style raid upon the Mar-A-Lago estate of former President Donald John Trump by nearly one hundred agents of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation under the direction of Christopher "Deep State Enabling" Wray and with the blesssing of Merrick "Parents are Terrorists for Opposing School Boards" Garland is so breathtakingly bold as to shock even this seventy-one year with an earned doctorate in political science who has been following American politics since the Eisenhower-Stevenson election of 1956.

Thus, the commentary after part eighteen of "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus" will be about this raid and the implications it carries for a governmental system that is degenerating rapidly into an undisguised totalitarianism replete the the addition of 87,000 agents of the Internal Revenue Service to go after prominent critics of the Biden administration and/or who oppose a "woke" agenda that is nothing other than an excuse to shut down all political dissent in land that has been never as free as people believed it has been because the only true standard of human freedom is the Holy Cross of the Divine Redeemer, Christ the King. Such a commentary will take several days to complete, but it will be thorough and unsparing.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John Mary Vianney, the Cure of Ars, pray for us.

Saint Lawrence the Deacon, pray for us. 

Saint Romanus, pray for us.
