War of Epic Blasphemers, part one (Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV)

What is one supposed to do when a war of words breaks up between two epic redeemers?

Well, one can, to call to mind what the late Father Frederick Schell told us we had breakfast with him at a diner in the San Fernando Valley on March 10, 2002, “Just sit back and root for both sides.” (Father Schell, who was eighty-five years old at the time and was a rugged, no-nonsense Jesuit from El Paso, Texas, who started an “independent” traditional chapel in southern California in the late-1970s, was referencing the battle between the conciliar “bishops” and the secular press when the clerical abuse scandals broke into the “mainstream” media after such disparate niche Catholic newspapers as the National Catholic Reporter and The Wanderer, for which I wrote columns and wrote hard news stories between 1992 and 2001, had been reporting on these scandals for at least two decades previously.)

However, we can’t really root for blasphemers, now can we?

Another possible option could be to adopt the attitude expressed a former friend of mine in 1992 during the Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn, New York, between blacks and Hasidic Jews that New York City Mayor David N. Dinkins let go on while restraining the police from intervening, “In conflicts of this kind I maintain a policy of strict neutrality.”

In all seriousness, though, given the fact that I covered the chutzpah of United States Undersecretary of War Elbridge Colby in American Caesarism and hypocrisy of Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV by meeting with the pro-abortion, pro-perversity statist and former chief political adviser to Barack Hussein Obama, David Axelrod, on Thursday, April 9, 2026, in So, Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV Takes Advice from David Alexrod; What Else is "New?, I don’t think I have to do very other than to summarize a few salient points without having to rewrite the two articles just referenced.

First, it is undoubtedly the case that Robert Franics Prevost/Leo XIV, following the intellectually corrupt example of his immediate predecessor, the late Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is an open Eurosocialist and globalist who believes in every leftist shibboleth about “man-made global climate change,” open borders and thus of the supposed “right” of foreign nationals to violate other nations’ just laws regulating immigration, the nonexistent “efficacy” of the Wuhan Virus poisoned jabs that even an official from Pfizer in Germany admits has killed between 20,000, to 60,000 people in Germany alone (see PeterSweden on X: "This should be headline news EVERYWHERE. A Pfizer insider who was former head of toxicology in Europe has just come out and said something that many "conspiracy theorists" suspected. He estimates that 20 000 to 60 000 people in Germany have died from the c*vid vaccine. This" / X), and the usefulness of “dialogue” to prevent world conflicts.

Prevost/Leo is quite indeed a leftist ideologue in addition to being a heretic who reaffirms adherents of false religions in their falsehoods and who has denied Our Lady’s indisputable privileges as our Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces.

Second, as explained at great length in Pacificist Bob Prevost Believes in a False God Who Has Never Commanded Wars to be Fought in His Holy Name, the false “pontiff’s” belief that God does not command wars is ahistorical and a denial of the accounts of such wars provided by the God the Holy Ghost in Holy Writ, which also contains Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’s reminding us that there will be “wars and rumors of wars” until He comes again to judge the living and the dead at the end of time on the Last Day:

And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple. [2] And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed. [3] And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world? [4] And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: [5] For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many.

[6] And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places: [8] Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. [9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake. [10] And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another.

[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. [12] And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. [13] But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved. [14] And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come. [15] When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.

[16] Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains: [17] And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: [18] And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. [19] And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days. [20] But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath.

[21] For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. [22] And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened. [23] Then if any man shall say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him. [24] For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. [25] Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.

[26] If therefore they shall say to you: Behold he is in the desert, go ye not out: Behold he is in the closets, believe it not. [27] For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west: so shall the coming of the Son of man be. [28] Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together. [29] And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved: [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty. (Matthew 24: 1-30.)

Yes, we know that the leaders of nations are bound to do everything possible to avoid wars and to engage in them only when there is an imminent threat—not an imaginary threat at some ill-defined time in the future—that requires an armed response as a last resort in the pursuit of justice.

Third, the remote cause of all wars is fallen human nature and cannot be ignored by all the conciliarspeak about “dialogue” and “mutual respect,” and the fact that Robert Prevost never speaks of the effects of Original and Actual Sins implies very strongly that he believes that men of “good will” can always avoid armed hostilities. This kind of near-utopianism is a de facto denial of fallen human nature, a fallen nature that is always in need of being overcome by the graces won for us by the shedding of every single drop of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’s Most Precious Blood during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday and the flow into our souls through the loving hands of Our Lady, she who is, contrary to what Prevost/Leo believes, is the Mediatrix of All Graces.

Fourth, for all of Robert Francis Prevost’s huffing and puffing about the “rights” of illegal immigrants and his not-so-veiled attacks upon President Donald John Trump and his administration’s policies, I want to emphasize yet again as I had in So, Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV Takes Advice from David Alexrod; What Else is "New? that he has been as mute about any elected official’s support for the chemical and surgical execution of innocent preborn children and/or the nonexistent “rights” of sodomites, transvestites, and mentally ill people who think that can change their gender as was Jorge Mario Bergoglio before him.

Prevost/Leo’s silence about pro-abortion, pro-sodomite public officials demonstrates several things, starting with the fact that is a rank hypocrite who believes that naturalistic considerations are more determinative of a just social order than supernatural considerations and that the promotion and celebration of sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance have only a negligeable, if that, negative influence upon the establishment and maintenance of a truly just social order founded upon the fostering of those conditions conductive to the sanctification and salvation of souls, something that Popes Leo XIII and Pius X explained with great clarity:

So, too, the liberty of thinking, and of publishing, whatsoever each one likes, without any hindrance, is not in itself an advantage over which society can wisely rejoice. On the contrary, it is the fountain-head and origin of many evils. Liberty is a power perfecting man, and hence should have truth and goodness for its object. But the character of goodness and truth cannot be changed at option. These remain ever one and the same, and are no less unchangeable than nature itself. If the mind assents to false opinions, and the will chooses and follows after what is wrong, neither can attain its native fullness, but both must fall from their native dignity into an abyss of corruption. Whatever, therefore, is opposed to virtue and truth may not rightly be brought temptingly before the eye of man, much less sanctioned by the favor and protection of the law. A well-spent life is the only passport to heaven, whither all are bound, and on this account the State is acting against the laws and dictates of nature whenever it permits the license of opinion and of action to lead minds astray from truth and souls away from the practice of virtue. To exclude the Church, founded by God Himself, from the business of life, from the making of laws, from the education of youth, from domestic society is a grave and fatal error. A State from which religion is banished can never be well regulated; and already perhaps more than is desirable is known of the nature and tendency of the so-called civil philosophy of life and morals. The Church of Christ is the true and sole teacher of virtue and guardian of morals. She it is who preserves in their purity the principles from which duties flow, and, by setting forth most urgent reasons for virtuous life, bids us not only to turn away from wicked deeds, but even to curb all movements of the mind that are opposed to reason, even though they be not carried out in action. (Pope Leo XIII, Immortale Dei, November 1, 1885.)

That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error. Based, as it is, on the principle that the State must not recognize any religious cult, it is in the first place guilty of a great injustice to God; for the Creator of man is also the Founder of human societies, and preserves their existence as He preserves our own. We owe Him, therefore, not only a private cult, but a public and social worship to honor Him. Besides, this thesis is an obvious negation of the supernatural order. It limits the action of the State to the pursuit of public prosperity during this life only, which is but the proximate object of political societies; and it occupies itself in no fashion (on the plea that this is foreign to it) with their ultimate object which is man’s eternal happiness after this short life shall have run its course. But as the present order of things is temporary and subordinated to the conquest of man’s supreme and absolute welfare, it follows that the civil power must not only place no obstacle in the way of this conquest, but must aid us in effecting it. (Pope Saint Pius X, Vehementer Nos, February 11, 1906.)

The civil state has a duty to help to foster those conditions wherein men can best sanctify and thus save their immortal souls as members of the Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order. There can be no true reform of societies without the reform of men, and the reform of men is made possible only by the Sanctifying Graces administered exclusively by the true Church that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ founded upon the Rock of Peter, the Pope. The best summary of this can be found in Pope Pius XI’s condemnation of Nazism, Mit Brennender Sorge, March 17, 1937, that was issued two days before his condemnation of Marxist Communism in Divini Redemptoris, March 19, 1937:

We can command: it is not enough to be a member of the Church of Christ, one needs to be a living member, in spirit and in truth, i.e., living in the state of grace and in the presence of God, either in innocence or in sincere repentance. If the Apostle of the nations, the vase of election, chastised his body and brought it into subjection: lest perhaps, when he had preached to others, he himself should become a castaway (1 Cor. ix. 27), could anybody responsible for the extension of the Kingdom of God claim any other method but personal sanctification? Only thus can we show to the present generation, and to the critics of the Church that "the salt of the earth," the leaven of Christianity has not decayed, but is ready to give the men of today -- prisoners of doubt and error, victims of indifference, tired of their Faith and straying from God -- the spiritual renewal they so much need. A Christianity which keeps a grip on itself, refuses every compromise with the world, takes the commands of God and the Church seriously, preserves its love of God and of men in all its freshness, such a Christianity can be, and will be, a model and a guide to a world which is sick to death and clamors for directions, unless it be condemned to a catastrophe that would baffle the imagination.

20. Every true and lasting reform has ultimately sprung from the sanctity of men who were driven by the love of God and of men. Generous, ready to stand to attention to any call from God, yet confident in themselves because confident in their vocation, they grew to the size of beacons and reformers. On the other hand, any reformatory zeal, which instead of springing from personal purity, flashes out of passion, has produced unrest instead of light, destruction instead of construction, and more than once set up evils worse than those it was out to remedy. No doubt "the Spirit breatheth where he will" (John iii. 8): "of stones He is able to raise men to prepare the way to his designs" (Matt. iii. 9). He chooses the instruments of His will according to His own plans, not those of men. But the Founder of the Church, who breathed her into existence at Pentecost, cannot disown the foundations as He laid them. Whoever is moved by the spirit of God, spontaneously adopts both outwardly and inwardly, the true attitude toward the Church, this sacred fruit from the tree of the cross, this gift from the Spirit of God, bestowed on Pentecost day to an erratic world.  (Pope Pius XI, Mit Brennender Sorge, March 17, 1937.)

As we know so very well, most men alive today live for base pleasures without any thought of the supernatural. Men are thus prone to believe in the nonexistent “salvific” power of this or that political ideology du jour (the “woke” movement of “progressivism,” which is but another name for Bolshevism) and/or in the equally nonexistent “salvific” powers of this or that political figure, whether of the false opposite of the naturalist “left” or “right,” which leads to nothing other than endless agitation and utterly needless divisions on matters that exist in the nature of things and are thus not subject to human debate, “revision” or “rejection.”

As a conciliar ecumenist and globalist, Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV does not believe that men or their societies must confess the true Faith and thus be unapologetically Catholic in all they and do. In short, he does believe that Catholicism is the one and only means of human sanctification, which is the precondition for all social order. This explains his sanguine attitude about pro-aborts and pro-sodomites in public life and his embrace of religious indifferentism and globalism.

Fifth, as I explained about Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Jorge Mario Bergoglio Would Have Urged Catholics to "Dialogue" with Diocletian and about Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV in So, Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV Takes Advice from David Alexrod; What Else is "New?, the currently presiding universal face of apostasy, who is ever eager to denounce “conservatives” in public life, lives within a virtual Cone of Silence when it comes to the Iranian or Red Chinese regimes’ brutally violent suppression of dissenters within their own countries as such would be against the “spirit” of the “Second” Vatican Council and the fostering of “solidarity” and “friendship” according to the thoroughly Judeo-Masonic Abu Dhabi accord of February 4, 2019 (see  Jorge Signs Off on the One World Religion).

In this regard as well, of course, it should be noted that neither the late Jorge Mario Bergoglio nor Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV ever expressed the least bit of concern, no less any criticism of, the efforts of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., Kamala Harris Emhoff, and Merrick Garland to penalize pro-life heroes such as John Hinshaw, Joan Andrews Bell, Lauren Handy, William Goodman, Jean Idoni, Jean Marshall, and numerous others while acting on the belief that an adherence to the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law concerning marriage and the family was “white extremism” and thus a source of “domestic terrorism” (see Biden CIA saw traditional family values as sign of white 'extremism' and DOJ alleges Biden admin weaponized FACE Act against pro-life activists) while turning the Federal Bureau of Investigation loose on “radical traditional Catholics” in a much more extensive manner than had been known previously (see FBI ‘TARGETING’ Of Traditional Catholics Went FURTHER Than 'Richmond Memo': Chuck Grassley).

Nope, not one word of criticism from the late Argentine Apostate or the very much alive Pachama Bob Prevost about this weaponizing of justice against faithful Catholics. Not one word, just as Prevost has continued Bergoglio’s utter silence about the brutal murders of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungarary, or scores of others slaughtered by what he calls the  "heralds of hope” (illegal immigrants).

Sixth, knowing that certain world leaders, most especially American President Donald John Trump, possess little in the way of self-knowledge and even less in the way of either the Supernatural Gift of Prudence or Aristotle’s Virtue of Prudence on the merely natural level, Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV’s meeting last week with David Axelrod must be viewed as deliberate effort to goad Trump into reacting as he did as Trump has been the ongoing efforts of the totalitarian efforts on the part of so many within the orbit of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro and Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., to discredit his election in 2016 with false charges of “Russian Collusion,” which false charges undermined his first term in office and then were followed by endless efforts to imprison him on all manner of false charges to prevent his reelection in 2024 following his questionable “defeat” in 2020. (See, for example, CIA Contradicts Obama Officials’ Sworn Denials About Russiagate Report and Details Buried In Declassified Docs Further Implicate Obama.)

Thus, Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV is a blaspheming heretic who adheres to every leftist shibboleth imaginable and while our true popes have indeed prayed for peace during times of war and denounced immortal tactics during the conduct thereof they have not ignored state-sponsored attacks upon marriage and the family the way that the likes of the late Jorge Mario Bergoglio and Prevost himself have done.

Seventh, “Pope Leo XIV” rightly denounced President Donald John Trump’s endless blasphemies against the honor and glory of God and against His Holy Name in his press conference onboard his flight from Rome to Algeria on Monday, April 13, 2026, the Feast of Saint Hermenegild, but he is an epic blasphemer in his own Modernist right who has continued the unbroken “tradition” from Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini/Paul VI to himself of praising false religions and their temples of false worship, doing so again on Algiers, Algeria, on Monday, April 13, 2026:

Thank you for this reflection and for these words, which are so important during this visit, from a place that represents the space that is of God; a divine, sacred space where so many people come to pray in order to find the presence of the Most High, of God, in their lives.

As you know, I come to Algeria with great joy because it is also the land of my spiritual father, Saint Augustine. He sought to teach the world so many things, above all through the search for truth, the search for God, recognizing the dignity of every human being, and the importance of building peace.

To seek God is also to recognize the image of God in every creature, in the children of God, in every man and woman created in God’s image and likeness. For us, this means that it is very important to learn to live together with respect for the dignity of every human person.

There is another value that you have chosen to include in this beautiful center: alongside the mosque, a place of prayer, there is also an educational center. How important it is for human beings to develop the intellectual capacity that God has given us, so that we may discover how great creation is, the greatness of what God has left us in all of creation and especially in the human person!

Through the spirit, through this place of prayer, through the search for truth, which also includes study, and through the ability to recognize the dignity of every human being, we know – and today’s meeting is proof of this – that we can learn to respect one another, live in harmony and build a world of peace.

This afternoon I pray for you, for the people of Algeria, and for all the peoples of the earth, that the peace and justice of the Kingdom of God may also be present among us. And may all of us be even more convinced of the need to be promoters of peace, reconciliation, forgiveness and of what God truly wills for all his creation. (Anti-Apostolic Journey to Algeria: Visit to the Great Mosque of Algiers.)

Acting as though Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is not the God-Man before non-Catholics while refusing to mention His Holy Name and praising a man where the devil is worshipped is a blasphemous act word of an apostate who fears to mention the Holy Name before men.

Admitting full well that Donald John Trump is himself a popularizer of blasphemy and obscenity while refusing to accept criticism or correction from anyone, including Italian Prime Minister Georgia Melloni, it is well past time for believing Catholics to recognize that the conciliar “popes” have much more guilt upon their souls than does the poor, ignorant narcissistic Trump because they have read Sacred Scripture and have decided for themselves that the following words of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ do not apply them or can be “suspended,” shall we say, in the name of “brotherhood,” “harmony,” “mutual understanding,” and “living together in peace”:

Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows. [32] Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. [33] But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. [34] Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. [35]For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (Matthew 10: 31-35.)

For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For he that shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. (Mark 8: 36-28)

Our first pope, Saint Peter, answered the Jews with great firmness when they demanded the Apostles "should not speak at all in the name of Jesus":

And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus; and they dismissed them.

And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus. And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus. (Acts 5: 40-42.)

If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you; But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men's things.

But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God? And if the just man shall scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator. (1 Peter 4: 11-19)

Alas, the conciliar revolutionaries cannot give what they do not have, and they cannot give witness to a Faith that they do not possess as the Catholic Church, she who is the spotless mystical spouse of her Divine Founder, Invisible Head and Mystical Bridegroom, Christ the King, makes no terms with error and gives no quarter to any kind of false religions at any time:

Just as Christianity cannot penetrate into the soul without making it better, so it cannot enter into public life without establishing order. With the idea of a God Who governs all, Who is infinitely Wise, Good, and Just, the idea of duty seizes upon the consciences of men. It assuages sorrow, it calms hatred, it engenders heroes. If it has transformed pagan society--and that transformation was a veritable resurrection--for barbarism disappeared in proportion as Christianity extended its sway, so, after the terrible shocks which unbelief has given to the world in our days, it will be able to put that world again on the true road, and bring back to order the States and peoples of modern times. But the return of Christianity will not be efficacious and complete if it does not restore the world to a sincere love of the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. In the Catholic Church Christianity is Incarnate. It identifies Itself with that perfect, spiritual, and, in its own order, sovereign society, which is the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ and which has for Its visible head the Roman Pontiff, successor of the Prince of the Apostles. It is the continuation of the mission of the Savior, the daughter and the heiress of His Redemption. It has preached the Gospel, and has defended it at the price of Its blood, and strong in the Divine assistance and of that immortality which has been promised it, It makes no terms with error but remains faithful to the commands which  it has received, to carry the doctrine of Jesus Christ to the uttermost limits of the world and to the end of time, and to protect it in its inviolable integrity. Legitimate dispenser of the teachings of the Gospel it does not reveal itself only as the consoler and Redeemer of souls, but It is still more the internal source of justice and charity, and the propagator as well as the guardian of true liberty, and of that equality which alone is possible here below. In applying the doctrine of its Divine Founder, It maintains a wise equilibrium and marks the true limits between the rights and privileges of society. The equality which it proclaims does not destroy the distinction between the different social classes. It keeps them intact, as nature itself demands, in order to oppose the anarchy of reason emancipated from Faith, and abandoned to its own devices. The liberty which it gives in no wise conflicts with the rights of truth, because those rights are superior to the demands of liberty. Not does it infringe upon the rights of justice, because those rights are superior to the claims of mere numbers or power. Nor does it assail the rights of God because they are superior to the rights of humanity. (Pope Leo XIII, A Review of His Pontificate, March 19, 1902.)

Her deportment has not changed in the course of history, nor can it change whenever or wherever, under the most diversified forms, she is confronted with the choice: either incense for idols or blood for Christ. The place where you are now present, Eternal Rome, with the remains of a greatness that was and with the glorious memories of its martyrs, is the most eloquent witness to the answer of the Church. Incense was not burned before the idols, and Christian blood flowed and consecrated the ground. But the temples of the gods lie in the cold devastation of ruins howsoever majestic; while at the tombs of the martyrs the faithful of all nations and all tongues fervently repeat the ancient Creed of the Apostles. (Pope Pius XII, Ci Riesce, December 6, 1953.)

Alas, the conciliar revolutionaries cannot give what they do not have, and they cannot give witness to a Faith that they do not possess as the Catholic Church, she who is the spotless mystical spouse of her Divine Founder, Invisible Head and Mystical Bridegroom, Christ the King, makes no terms with error and gives no quarter to any kind of false religions at any time:

The conciliar “popes” and most of their “bishops” and priests/presbyters have been and continue to be ashamed of Christ and His Doctrine before men, and they have no shame that now, during the holy season of Easter as we are celebrating Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’s Easter Victory over the power of sin and eternal death one of their own can be more worried about offending infidels that bearing even a silent witness to the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity made Man by the power of God the Holy Ghost in the Virginal and Immaculate Womb of His Most Blessed Mother is forbidden.

Part two of this commentary will deal with the mad, blasphemous screeds and posts of a man who without self-knowledge, self-reflection, or the least bit of personal restraint, Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV’s sparring parter, the epic blasphemer Donald John Trump.

Today, Tuesday, April 14, 2026, is the Feast of Saint Justin Martyr the Commemorations of Saints Tiburtius, Valerian, and Maximus.

The Father of Christian Apologetics, Saint Justin, quite unlike the conciliar “popes,” did not hesitate to proclaim the Holy Name in front of pagans. He was not afraid of hurting anyone’s “feelings” as he knew that he had not been baptized to hide the fact of his Catholic Faith under a bushel basket of human respect and “brotherhood.”

Dom Prosper Gueranger’s account of Saint Justin Martyr’s life and martyrdom should not only inspire us to be do what we can to promote the Holy Faith but to reaffirm us in the unwavering truth that the conciliar “popes” have more in common with the pagans of Rome than they do with the life of Saint Justin Martyr:

Yesterday Spain sent one of her princes to represent her at the court of the Conqueror of Death. Today Christ receives with equal honor the representative of learning in the service of religion. The philosopher’s mantle worn by Justin is as splendid as the royal purple of Hermenegild, for both prince and philosopher have washed their robes in their own blood, mingled with that of the Lamb, and these robes have become the insignia of their eternal glory. But the victory of Christ’s champions is not felt in heaven only—the blood of the martyrs makes the very earth fruitful. In spite of heresy, Catholic Spain was born from the royal blood of Hermenegild, and paganism, by sacrificing Justin to its own hatred, inspired new vigor into the seed sown in Rome by Saints Peter and Paul. On this very day the sacred cycle brings before us Saints Valerian, Tiburtius, and Maximus, the glorious triumvirate won to Christ by the immortal Cecily, who embodies so nobly the Roman faith defended with such love and learning by Justin. When she was born, Justin’s public disputations with the adversaries of Christianity were filling Rome with his victorious refutations of paganism. His writings, which he boldly caused to penetrate even to the imperial throne, carried the light to regions which he could not reach by his spoken word. The lictor’s axe, in striking off the head of the apologist, gave more force to his demonstrations than had been given by his powerful logic, when for the first time he overcame the powers of hell and put an end to a fierce persecution.

The world, courted on all sides by a thousand different schools, which by their contradictions seemed bent on making the discovery of truth impossible, was now in a position to recognize sincerity. Marcus Aurelius had succeeded Antoninus Pius, and he claimed to enthrone philosophy in his own person. His ideal of perfection was the satisfaction of self and the contempt of others, and he passed from dogmatic skepticism to the establishment of the Moral Law, delivering his “thoughts” to the admiration of his courtiers without caring for the reformation of their morals. Justin had been seeking truth from boyhood, in order to find justice. He was not discouraged by the ill success of his early efforts, and did not make the delay of the dawn an excuse for denying the existence of the light. When, at God’s chosen time, he found Wisdom, he longed to communicate her to all, little and great, and devoted his life to the work, making naught of the labors and sufferings by which he solemnly confessed his faith before the world. What man of good faith could hesitate to choose between the Christian hero and the crowned sophist who put him to death? Who would not, like Cecily, pour scorn upon the pretensions of those false philosophers who have made themselves masters of the world and who give no proof of their love for wisdom beyond their determination to shut the mouths of those who preach it?

Philosophy, baptized in the blood of this convert, is henceforward Christian forever. Her distressing sterility is at an end. The testimony of martyrdom which she has now given to truth in token of faithful service, atones for all the monstrous offenses of her early years. She will always be distinct from faith, but henceforth she will be the help-meet of this heavenly virtue. Human reason will be strengthened by the alliance and will be able to arrive at trustworthy conclusions. But woe to reason if she forgets her consecration to Christ, ignores the mystery of the Incarnation, and declares herself satisfied with a purely natural explanation of the origin of man, the end of creation, and the Moral Law. The natural light, which enlightens every man that comes into the world, is unquestionably from the Word, and that is its glory. But since the divine Word, in addition to the honor thus done to reason, has given to humanity a higher and more direct manifestation of himself, he does not intend that man should divide his gifts, leave on one side the faith which prepares the way for vision, and content himself with the gleam of light which would have been sufficient for the state of pure nature. The Word is one, as man, to whom he manifests himself, is one; and this manifestation is made at one and the same time, though in different ways, namely, by reason and faith. If man withdraws himself from the supernatural light, which he thought to be his own, and the world will be plunged into unreasoning foolishness.

Let us read the account given by the Church of the martyr-philosopher and give glory to our Risen Lord, whose triumph is enhanced by the consecration to him of all the glory gained by men.

Justin, the son of Priscus, was a Greek by race, and was born at Nablus in Palestine. He passed his youth in the study of letters. When he grew to manhood he was so taken with the love of philosophy and the desire of truth, that he became a student in the schools of all the philosophers, and examined the teaching of them all. He found in them only deceitful wisdom and error. He received the light of heaven from a venerable old man, who was a stranger to him, and embraced the philosophy of the true Christian faith. Henceforth he had the books of Holy Scripture in his hands by day and night, and his soul was filled with the divine fire enkindled by his meditations. Having thus acquired the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ, he devoted his learning to the composition of many books explaining and propagating the Christian faith.

Among the most famous of the works of Justin are his two Apologies or Defenses of the Christian faith. These he offered in the Senate to the Emperor Antoninus Pius and his sons, together with Marcus Antoninus Verus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus, who were cruelly persecuting the followers of Christ. By these Apologies and his vigorous disputations in defense of the faith he obtained a public edict from the government to stay the slaughter of the Christians. But Justin himself did not escape. He had blamed the wicked life led by Crescens the Cynic, who caused him to be accused and arrested. He was brought before Rusticus, the Prefect of Rome, and questioned concerning the doctrine of the Christians. Whereupon he made this good confession in the presence of many witnesses: “The right doctrine which we Christian men do keep with godliness is this: that we believe that there is one God, the maker and creator of all things, both those which are seen and those which bodily eyes do not see; and that we confess the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was of old foretold by the Prophets, and who is to come to judge all mankind.”

In his first Apology Justin had given, in order to rebut the slanders of the heathen, an open account of the Christian assemblies and of the holy Mysteries there celebrated. The prefect asked him in what place he and Christ’s other faithful servants in the city were accustomed to meet. But Justin, fearing to betray the holy mysteries and his brethren, mentioned only his own dwelling near the famous church in the house of Pudens, where he lived and taught his disciples. The prefect then bade him choose whether he would sacrifice to the gods or suffer a cruel scourging. The unconquered champion of the faith answered that he had always desired to suffer for the Lord Jesus Christ, from whom he hoped to receive a great reward in heaven. The prefect thereupon sentenced him to death, and thus this excellent philosopher, giving praise to God, suffered the pain of scourging, and then shed his blood for Christ, and was crowned with martyrdom. Some of the faithful stole away his body and buried it in a fitting place. The Supreme Pontiff, Leo XIII, commanded that his office and Mass should be said throughout the Church.

We hail in thee, O Justin, one of the noblest trophies of the divine Conqueror of Death. Thou wast born in the kingdom of darkness, but thou didst early seek to break the chains of falsehood which bound thee like so many others. Thou didst love Wisdom even before thou didst know her, and she too had chosen thee. (Ecclesiasticus 4:18) But she “will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins.” (Wisdom 1:4) Many men seek to hide their self-love under the beautiful name of Philosophy, and to find in her an excuse for all their vices; but thou didst seek for knowledge out of a desire to know and love the truth and obey her laws. This purity of heart and mind brought thee near to God and made thee worthy to meet in the ways of life the living Wisdom whom thou art now enjoying in the full light of eternity. (Wisdom 6:17-21) The Church has honored thee, and rightly, with the name of the Admirable Philosopher, for thou wast the first to realize that a Philosophy which is worthy of the name—a true love of wisdom—cannot confine its researches within the abstract domain of pure reason; for reason is only the gateway into those higher regions where Wisdom reveals herself in person to the love that seeks her with a sincere heart.

It is written of souls like thee that “the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the whole world.” (Wisdom 6:26) But true philosophers who, like thee, understand that the aim of the wise man is to attain to the vision of God (Ecclesiasticus 6:23, Dialog w/ Trypho, 3)—to reach the most holy God by the way of obedience (Ecclesiasticus 4:15)—are rare in these days. The independence of reason is the only dogma on which the sophists of the present day are agreed. Their sect is characterized by a false eclecticism, which allows each one to make his own system and choose what most appeals to him out of the positive affirmations of different schools and religions. Thus they proclaim that reason, though supreme in their eyes, has so far produced no trustworthy conclusions, and that the last word of science is skepticism or universal doubt. It is hardly becoming for such men to reproach the Church with despising reason. On the contrary, the Church has but lately, in the Vatican Council, (session iii, cap. 4, can. 10) emphasized and exalted the mutual help rendered by faith and reason in leading men to God, and she casts out of her fold those who deny to human reason the power to affirm with certainty the existence of God our Lord and Creator. When seeking to define in these days the respective value of faith and reason, without either separating or confusing them, the Church had but to listen to the testimony of Christian philosophers in all centuries, beginning with thee, for their works, which complete one another, are full of this doctrine.

Thou wast as faithful as thou wert brave, O valiant martyr! In thy day the Church had not been forced by contests with heresy to seek for new terms of expression whose very precision soon became indispensable, but thy writings prove to us that the doctrine was the same though the phraseology was less clear. Be thou blessed by all the children of the Church for this demonstration of the identity of our believe with that of the second century. Be thou blessed for thy careful distinction between that which was dogma to be held by all, and those private opinions on lesser points to which the Church in thy day left liberty as she has ever done.

Do not disappoint the confidence of the Mother of all mankind. Though so many centuries have passed since thy martyrdom, she wishes her children to pay thee greater honor today than they have done in past ages. She was once recognized as queen of the nations, but now her situation is what it was in the days when thou didst defend her against hostile powers. Raise up new apologists. Teach them that the assaults of hell may be repelled by zeal, firmness and eloquence. But they must not have false ideas as to the nature of the combat entrusted to their honor by the Church. They have to defend a queen. The Spouse of the Son of God could never permit her champions to solicit for her the protection accorded to a slave. Truth has its rights—or, rather, it is truth alone that has the right to claim liberty. Our apologists, O Justin, must, like thee, make the State ashamed not to grant to the Church a liberty accorded to all sects. But Christian champions may not rest satisfied with a toleration extended equally to Christ and Satan. They must cry with thee, even when fresh violence is threatened: “Our cause is just, for we, and we alone, speak the truth.” (First Apology, cap 23) (Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year, Feast of Saint Justin Martyr, Apri 14.)

“If man withdraws himself from the supernatural light, which he thought to be his own, and the world will be plunged into unreasoning foolishness.”

Ironically, good readers, this describes both Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV and the man who is a maniacal rage against anyone who criticizes and who has revealed to us that he thinks of himself in superhuman, if not divine, terms, Donald John Trump.
