The World Will Little Note Nor Long Remember Anything the Lunatics Said at Assisi 2026

Perhaps the best way to discuss the insanity of the now concluded, Sant’Egidio Community organized and run “World Days of Prayer for Peace” in Assisi, Italy, is to begin with the simple fact that very few people, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, outside of the self-congratulatory bubble in which the participants live, move, and have their very being were even aware of no less concerned about the Assisi event. Unlike what the erroneous prophecy that the mass murdering dictator named Abraham Lincoln said in his Gettysburg Address of November 19, 1863 (“The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here”), the world will little note nor long remember what was said at the now-concluded Assisi travesty.  That is very good and as it should be.

Indeed, many Americans have been busy following this or that bread and circus (the midterm election, scholastic, collegiate, and professional football, the recently concluded World Series, which was won by a team that, judging from written reports, actually knew how to play old-fashioned baseball without the benefit of “analytics”-obsessed geeks who can quantity heart or desire in athletes) and others around the world have been diverted by the European riots or the simple crosses that must be borne in this passing, mortal vale of tears. Only a relative handful of people were even aware the Assisi travesty was taking places and, of these, only a miniscule number of people will ever try to read the speeches, no less make any sense of out them if they do read them.

Secondly, having read the texts of most of the interminable speeches that were given between Sunday, October 25, 2026, the Feast of Christ the King and the Commemoration of the Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost, thorough Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the Vigil of Saints Simon and Jude, it is noteworthy that numerous non-Catholic speakers who support abortion and/or a more nebulous “right to women’s reproductive health” that mostly means support for sterilization as well as the chemical and surgical assassination of the innocent preborn, spoke about the conditions for “peace” even though they believe in warfare against the Divine and Natural Laws and thus against the honor and glory of the true God of Divine Revelation, the Most Holy Trinity, and the temporal and eternal good of souls.

Among the scores upon scores of such speakers were a French rabbi, Haim Korsia, who had read the “kaddish” at the secular funeral of France’s leading baby-killing advocate, Simone Veil (not to be confused with the philosopher named Simone Weill), in 2017, a professor from the University of California, Berkely, Katherine Marshall, a supporter of “reproductive rights,” Gijun Sugitani of the pro-abortion Tendai sect of Buddhism in Japan, Hala Al Karib,  who had lamented the lack of “comprehensive reproductive health” services of women during a 2023 speech at the United Nations Security Council “Open Debate on Women, Peace, and Security,” Noam Marans of the pro-abortion, pro-sodomite American Jewish Committee, and Joanne Driels of the pro-contraction, pro-sterilization, pro-abortion (by means of funding given to pro-abortion organizations despite the official line of not supporting surgical baby-killing), pro-vaccination Gates Foundation, which used to be called the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation until the pro-abortion Melinda, who is divorced from Bill Gates, started her own foundation to openly fund baby-killing). To quote the late, self-deprecating Jack Harold Paar, “I kid you not.”

Although I have copied and pasted fully twenty pages of the bilge, I am only going to torture you with a few excerpts to demonstrate the absolute insanity of those who believe in nothing that it true and who deny the existence of the Most Holy Trinity and thus deny the existence of the Sacred Divinity of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His Incarnation, Nativity, Hidden Years, Public Life and Ministry, and Passion, Death and Resurrection:

Since 1986, an extraordinary movement for peace has taken shape, and it continues to this day. Forty years ago, the Spirit of Assisi began to blow with great force, not only in the West but also in the East. The courageous initiative of His Holiness Pope John Paul II found a profound response among many religious leaders throughout Asia. From Japan came the Most Venerable Etai Yamada, the Supreme Priest of the Tendai Buddhist Denomination. On his return to Japan, the Most Venerable Yamada spoke of the deep impression made upon him by the Prayer Meeting for Peace in Assisi, and he had a remarkable foresighted intuition: to bring that “Spirit of Assisi for Peace” to Japan and to allow it to blow forth from Japan as well. 

Since 1987, the Tendai Buddhist tradition has convened the “Gathering for World Peace through Prayer” every year on 4 August at the sacred Mount Hiei, inviting religious leaders from across Japan to gather in prayer for peace. Religious representatives from many parts of the world have often joined these gatherings, and representatives of the Community of Sant’Egidio have also participated on numerous occasions. I would not say that, over these forty years, the meetings organised by Sant’Egidio in Europe and those held on Mount Hiei have followed two parallel paths, because in reality there have been many points of contact between them, and their paths have often crossed and intertwined. Many friends have taken part in both initiatives. Among them, I would like to recall one person in particular: Mar Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim, the Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan of Aleppo, who took part in several meetings both on Mount Hiei and with the Community of Sant’Egidio. He disappeared, most probably after being abducted, together with the Greek Orthodox Bishop Boulos Yazigi on 22 April 2013. Since then, we have had no further information about either of them. 

I remember that Mar Gregorios was well aware of the dangers surrounding him. And yet, until the very end, he remained a great witness to peace. Today, he has become for us, almost a symbol of that people of peace to which all of us belong, and which over the years has grown ever larger. 

The Most Venerable Etai Yamada, who brought the Spirit of Assisi to Japan and promoted the spirit of Mount Hiei, vividly remembered the tragic experience of the Second World War, including the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Wherever he went he bore a powerful witness to peace. He did so in Warsaw in 1989, at one of the meetings organised by the Community of Sant’Egidio in memory of the Assisi gathering. Before thousands of Polish people, who still carried with them the memory of the suffering caused by the Second World War, he delivered a powerful message of peace from Japan that moved them deeply. 

The Most Venerable Yamada was convinced that globalisation, whose effects on politics and economics were already clearly visible, required religions too to develop closer relationships if they wished to continue to play a role in the contemporary world — a world that often rejects wisdom, spirituality and fraternity, while in truth being deeply in need of all three. 

Today, that powerful movement towards political and economic globalisation appears to have lost much of its momentum, while strong winds are blowing throughout the world in the direction of conflict and war. Yet, The Spirit of Assisi and the spirit of Mount Hiei, continue to blow in the direction of peace. And we need these spirits now more than ever. 

Our gathering here today, forty years later, to commemorate the 1986 Prayer Meeting for Peace was by no means inevitable. That event could have remained without consequences. Our shared journey could have ended at any moment. The network of common commitment and fraternal friendship that binds us together could have dispersed. Yet this did not happen. And our gathering once again here in Assisi gives us the strength to continue along this path with renewed commitment — in the East as in the West. 

Today, economic and political globalisation may seem to have lost the seemingly unstoppable momentum it displayed at the end of the last century, but we continue to believe in a “globalisation of peace”: in the possibility of bringing together the many acts of peace, great and small, that are carried out every day throughout the world. 

This conviction to the possibility was born in Assisi forty years ago, and to find it reaffirmed here today, after all these years, is a joy beyond what I could have hoped for. 

I would like to conclude by extending a special invitation to the younger generations to join us on this journey, to receive its legacy, and together to build a future of peace for our world. (Speech of Gijun Sugitani, Tendai, Japan, Sect of Buddhism.)

Just as an aside here before continuing, I cannot resist reminding the admirers of the late “new theologian” Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI praised “sacred Mount Hiei” in address that was read by Jean-Louis Tauran on his behalf:

I am glad to greet you and all the religious leaders gathered on the occasion of the Twentieth Anniversary of the Religious Summit Meeting on Mount Hiei. I wish also to convey my best wishes to Venerable Eshin Watanabe, and to recall your distinguished predecessor as Supreme Head of the Tendai Buddhist Denomination, Venerable Etai Yamada. It was he who, having participated in the Day of Prayer for Peace in Assisi on that memorable day of 27 October 1986, initiated the “Religious Summit Meeting” on Mount Hiei in Kyoto in order to keep the flame of the spirit of Assisi burning. I am also happy that Cardinal Paul Poupard, President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, is able to take part in this meeting. (Letter to Venerable Kahjun Handa.)

Ah, yes, the "flame of the spirit of Assisi," which Ratzinger/Bergoglio himself kept burning on October 27, 2011, as he held the Assisi III "World Day of Prayer for Peace" event on the twenty-fifth anniversary of Wojtyla/John Paul II's Assisi I (see Outcome Based Conciliar Math: Assisi I + Assisi II  + Assisi III = A-P-O-S-T-A-S-Y). Make no mistake about it, my good but relatively few readers, the "cultured" Ratzinger was every bit as much the religious indifferentist that his successor as the head of the counterfeit church of conciliarism showed himself to be and the successor’s successor, Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV, is proving himself to be.

I report.

You decide.

All right, here are a few more excerpts from the Chock Full o’Nuts convention:

I thank you again for inviting me to speak about Sudan. Your voices, your prayers, and your solidarity are vital to supporting Sudanese women and children.

Finally, like thousands of Sudanese women and men, I have devoted my life to justice and human rights while fighting oppression and discrimination. The people of Sudan have repeatedly demonstrated their capacity to lead the struggle for peace, democracy, and justice. We did it in 2019 and can do it again. The only way to achieve peace in Sudan is by supporting the Sudanese people in shaping their country's future; your solidarity and your prayers for my country are much needed. (Speech of Hala Al-Karib.)

Fighting anti-Semitism, racism and all forms of hatred is not one mission among many. It is a condition of our living together. We cannot accept that a child learns to recognize an enemy before he has even learned to recognize a human being. 

Peace is a perpetual movement, a daily need, a work that is always unfinished, as the Psalms remind us: "Seek peace and pursue it".

And Psalm 133 offers us this vision of a rediscovered brotherhood: "Behold, how beautiful and how sweet it is that brothers and sisters live together!" Living together and not all thinking in the same way, nor erasing disagreements, but being able to share a world without turning our differences into reasons for destruction.

Perhaps this is, after all, a disarming peace. It is a peace that denies neither wounds nor dangers, but refuses to leave them the last word. A peace that does not confuse reconciliation with oblivion, forgiveness with impunity, force with brutality. A peace that makes justice its demand, dialogue its method and human dignity its compass. We must therefore learn to disarm what, within us and around us, prepares violence. Disarm words before they become weapons. Disarm prejudices before they turn into persecution. Disarming memories when they are instrumentalized to fuel hatred, without ever renouncing historical truth.

We do not know if we will see all the peace we desire. But we know that every gesture of justice, every word that pacifies, every child we educate to respect the other, contribute to making these peaces possible. After all, this is the vocation of the Community of Sant'Egidio, and it is what you seek to achieve.

Peace is not only what we hope for tomorrow; This is what we decide to do today. ( Intervento di Haïm Korsia.)

Thank you, and good morning.

It is a privilege to be here in Assisi, and particularly to be part of a conversation called The Questions Children Ask.

Children ask remarkably direct questions.

Why is there a war?

Why are people hungry?

Why can’t every child go to school?

Why can’t someone help when a mother or baby is sick?

And sometimes, simply: if adults know that something is wrong, why don’t they stop it?

Those questions can be uncomfortable.

Not necessarily because adults have no answer. Often, they are uncomfortable because children have a way of stripping away the language we use to make difficult problems feel more distant.

Adults talk about systems, strategies, budgets and institutions. We talk about geopolitical interests, financing mechanisms, delivery platforms and political constraints.

All of those things matter.

But a child does not experience a financing mechanism.

A child experiences whether the clinic is open when their family needs it.

Whether medicine is available.

Whether they can go to school.

Whether they are safe.

Whether their mother comes home.

I work in global health and development, and I have spent much of my career around governments, international institutions, advocates and communities trying to address problems that can seem impossibly complicated.

One lesson from that work is that complexity is real.

But complexity should never become an excuse for accepting preventable suffering and death.

Over the past 25 years, the world achieved something extraordinary. The number of children dying each year fell from roughly 10 million to under 5 million. Maternal deaths fell by around 40 percent.

That progress did not come from one institution, one government or one breakthrough.

It happened when political leadership, financing, innovation and delivery came together. Leaders established goals. Governments, donors and philanthropies provided resources. Researchers developed better tools. Health workers and communities delivered those tools to the people who needed them.

That history matters because it tells us that progress is possible.

But it also tells us that progress is not inevitable.

It is built through choices.

Today, 4.9 million children still die before reaching their fifth birthday. Around 260,000 women die each year from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth, and around 1.9 million babies are stillborn.

Those are enormous numbers. But they hide an important truth.

Much of this burden is preventable.

We know a great deal about what works.

At the Gates Foundation, our goal is to help the world halve preventable maternal, newborn, and child deaths by 2045.

That is an ambitious goal. . . .

It is The Questions Children Ask.

Children deserve to be heard.

But we should not place responsibility for fixing the world on them.

Adults control the institutions, they make the budgets, they establish the priorities.

So perhaps the questions children ask should become questions we ask ourselves.

What have we accepted as inevitable that is actually preventable?

And if we know that progress is possible, what will we choose to prioritize?

At the Gates Foundation, our North Star is straightforward:

No mother, child or baby should die from a preventable cause.

And we want to work with and listen to faith partners, learn from their experience, and explore practical ways to collaborate on maternal and child survival.

Achieving these goals will require better tools, stronger health systems, sustainable financing and greater country ownership.

It will require political courage.

So that one day, when children ask us what we did when mothers and babies were dying from preventable causes, we can tell them:

We did not look away.

We chose partnership over fragmentation.

We chose persistence over resignation.

And we chose to believe that where a child is born should never determine whether that child has the chance to survive and thrive.

That, ultimately, is the world we should be working to build.

A world in which fewer children ask:

“If you knew this could be prevented, why didn’t you prevent it?”

Thank you.  (Speech of Joanne Driels.)

Permit me to cup my arthritic hands around my mouth and shout the following at the computer screen: HEY, LADY, WHAT ABOUT THE INNOCENT PREBORN? WHY ISN’T THE GATES FOUNDATION CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR VOICES? HYPOCRITE.

All right, that felt good.

Now, one more example of this utter insanity will suffice, and I am not even going to get into how the “LGBTQ”-philic Timothy “Cardinal” Radcliffe, O.P., “apologized” for the “violent” language used by Catholic Church:

dialogue does not ask us to abandon our convictions, but rather to put the deepest moral resources of our faith at the service of respectful confrontation with others. 

From the perspective of Jewish tradition, I would like to express this conviction: we honor prayer most fully when it increases our sense of responsibility. Prayer for healing should make us attentive to the sick; prayer for mercy should make us merciful; Prayer for peace should make us peacemakers. It is a challenge that people of different faiths can recognize, each according to the language of their own tradition. 

The Hebrew text "Pirkei Avot" – the "Ethics of the Fathers" – teaches: "Where there are no human beings, strive to be a human being". Perhaps the true test of our prayer lies not only in what we say when we turn our gaze to Heaven, but in who we become when we lower it, resting our eyes on the person next to us. 

Let us therefore pray with sincerity and act courageously. We protect the dignity of every single human being, one after the other. Let us carry the spirit of our prayers beyond the walls of the synagogue, church, mosque and every other place of worship, to spread it in our communities and in the world we share. 

Can prayer protect the world? 

Let us hope and pray that the world will change through our prayers: when they open our hearts to the Creator, they bind us to one another and inspire us to become people who care for the world. 

Thank you. (Intervento di Oded Wiener.)

All these “experts” about “peace” agree on many points of absurdity but are united together as one on their respective paths to eternal damnation: Disbelief in the Prince of Peace Himself and His Catholic Church, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, He Who is the King of men and nations, something that mattered not one little bit to the putative Catholic clergy in attendance nor to the cultists at the Sant’Egidio community who invited them.

Here is a link to a photo page on the travesty’s website that will give you some idea of the potpourri of the number of times demons and their idols were adored, honored, and praised by the representations of one false religion after another, each of which originates in and leads to hell for all eternity: Oct 27 2026 | Assisi 2026 | COMMUNITY OF SANT'EGIDIO. It is impossible for the Catholic Church to have anything to do with an event, the likes of which millions of Catholic martyrs underwent all manner of tortures and were willing to sacrifice their very lives to avoid even giving a token appearance of approval or recognition. This contemporary display of religious indifferentism requires to make reparation for the multiple offenses given to the honor and glory of God and for the terrible scandal of reaffirming adherents of false religions in their falsehoods.

Yes, population controllers, pro-aborts, and pro-sodomites were all welcomed in Assisi while sixty miles to the south pilgrims from the so-called Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage were stopped by the Swiss Guards at the obelisk in the Pizza di San Pietro at the point where the jurisdiction of the Republic of Italy ends and that the Holy See in its conciliar captivity begins.

Although my next commentary will be about this act of exclusion on the part of the “todos, todos, todos” conciliarists, suffice it to say for present purposes that it should mean something to those who were stopped from entering into the Basilica of Saint Peter to pray at the tomb of the Prince of Apostles, our first pope, Saint Peter, that a bunch of anti-Incarnational pro-abortion nuts were welcomed by the bushelsful in Assisi while they were excluded merely from praying in the mother church of all Catholics.

More importantly, one would think that it would matter to pilgrims excluded from entering the Basilica of Saint Peter that the man they think is the “pope,” Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV, would give an address without linking the necessity of men being at peace with God as members of His Catholic Church by means of Sanctifying Grace to their being peace within the souls of individuals and thus in communities and within and among nations. Then again, to do this, of course, he would actually have to have invoked the Holy Name of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ:

Herewith are the text of the video address that was played before the lunatics gathered in Assisi:

Dear brothers and sisters, 

You are gathered in Assisi forty years after the World Day of Prayer for Peace held on 27 October 1986.  That event was initiated by Saint John Paul II, who on that occasion emphasized the intrinsic bond between a genuine religious attitude and a keen sense of peace. 

I extend my cordial greetings to the Patriarchs and religious leaders, many of whom have actively taken part in the various days of prayer and dialogue that have been held over the years.  I also warmly greet His Excellency Felice Accrocca, Bishop of Assisi, the Franciscan Families and all those in attendance.  I would very much like to have been with you at the tomb of Saint Francis on this important anniversary, to see your faces and bear witness together to the fact that living as brothers and sisters is already possible!

 I thank the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue and the Community of Sant'Egidio for their commitment to continuing along the path laid out by my predecessors. I am heartened by the long and faithful journey made over these years, which has borne much fruit. Pope Francis said of that unforgettable day in October 1986: "It should not and could not have remained an isolated event. You have continued on this path and have increased its momentum" (Address to Participants in the International Meeting for Peace, 30 September 2013). 

Indeed, following that first historic meeting, Saint John Paul II called for us to "continue to live the spirit of Assisi" (Address to Leaders of the World Religions in Assisi, 26 October 1986). That was at the time of the Cold War, a very different situation from the one we face today. After 1989, many believed that globalization would ensure lasting peace for the world. Unfortunately, as I wrote in Magnifica Humanitas, "an almost blind faith was placed in the ability of the markets to generate prosperity, democracy and stability. In reality, rather than automatically generating unity and peace, globalization has provoked fundamentalist, identity-based and nationalistic reactions" (no. 201). 

Against this backdrop, there has been "troubling revival of war as an instrument of international politics" (ibid., 190). As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, "the accumulation of arms strikes many as a paradoxically suitable way of deterring potential adversaries from war. They see it as the most effective means of ensuring peace among nations" (no. 2315), thus betraying the memory of the twentieth century and the senseless slaughter of millions of human lives. Precisely in these times marked by a "culture of power," there is a need to cultivate the spirit of Assisi, which entails a rejection of the religious justification of war, a spirit of mediation and dialogue, and contemplative reflection combined with creative action in the service of a future of peace. Yes, peace must once again become the common ideal of all peoples, the guiding star for all our choices, the standard that exposes injustice, and the shared horizon for all. 

We must rebuild peace everywhere, not prepare for more wars. War can never be waged in the name of God. For us believers, "to fight in the name of religion means attacking religion itself" (Magnifica Humanitas, 223). There is no such thing as a holy war: only peace is holy. 

That is why the journey begun in Assisi as a shared quest for peace is, first and foremost, the path of prayer.  Prayer may seem weak in the face of the powers of the world, but it is the humble strength of believers.  Let us turn to God, the giver of peace, that he may touch the hearts of those who seek war and terrorism.  Let us not forget that prayer is never in vain. 

Indeed, prayer is a school of dialogue with God, with people and with all creatures. Let us think of Saint Francis, whose death we have commemorated on his eight-hundredth anniversary. The world needs dialogue. The path of Assisi calls religious leaders to foster a climate of dialogue amongst the faithful and within society, so that the language of arrogance may give way to the language of peace, negotiation and understanding. This will help to "gradually [lead] humanity away from the cycle of violence" (ibid., 221). 

Brothers and sisters, may our prayers obtain from God that peace for the world's nations for which we long. May he make us unarmed instruments of his peace. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God" (Mt 5:9). (Message of Leo XIV.)

You know where I am going with this, don’t you?

Sure, you do.

All right, cueing Warner Wolf, let’s go to the videotape:

 There is over and above the absence of peace and the evils attendant on this absence, another deeper and more profound cause for present-day conditions. This cause was even beginning to show its head before the War and the terrible calamities consequent on that cataclysm should have proven a remedy for them if mankind had only taken the trouble to understand the real meaning of those terrible events. In the Holy Scriptures we read: "They that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed." (Isaias i, 28) No less well known are the words of the Divine Teacher, Jesus Christ, Who said: "Without me you can do nothing" (John xv, 5) and again, "He that gathereth not with me, scattereth." (Luke xi, 23)

28. These words of the Holy Bible have been fulfilled and are now at this very moment being fulfilled before our very eyes. Because men have forsaken God and Jesus Christ, they have sunk to the depths of evil. They waste their energies and consume their time and efforts in vain sterile attempts to find a remedy for these ills, but without even being successful in saving what little remains from the existing ruin. It was a quite general desire that both our laws and our governments should exist without recognizing God or Jesus Christ, on the theory that all authority comes from men, not from God. Because of such an assumption, these theorists fell very short of being able to bestow upon law not only those sanctions which it must possess but also that secure basis for the supreme criterion of justice which even a pagan philosopher like Cicero saw clearly could not be derived except from the divine law. (Pope Pius XI, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922.)

It is possible to sum up all We have said in one word, "the Kingdom of Christ." For Jesus Christ reigns over the minds of individuals by His teachings, in their hearts by His love, in each one's life by the living according to His law and the imitating of His example. Jesus reigns over the family when it, modeled after the holy ideals of the sacrament of matrimony instituted by Christ, maintains unspotted its true character of sanctuary. In such a sanctuary of love, parental authority is fashioned after the authority of God, the Father, from Whom, as a matter of fact, it originates and after which even it is named. (Ephesians iii, 15) The obedience of the children imitates that of the Divine Child of Nazareth, and the whole family life is inspired by the sacred ideals of the Holy Family. Finally, Jesus Christ reigns over society when men recognize and reverence the sovereignty of Christ, when they accept the divine origin and control over all social forces, a recognition which is the basis of the right to command for those in authority and of the duty to obey for those who are subjects, a duty which cannot but ennoble all who live up to its demands. Christ reigns where the position in society which He Himself has assigned to His Church is recognized, for He bestowed on the Church the status and the constitution of a society which, by reason of the perfect ends which it is called upon to attain, must be held to be supreme in its own sphere; He also made her the depository and interpreter of His divine teachings, and, by consequence, the teacher and guide of every other society whatsoever, not of course in the sense that she should abstract in the least from their authority, each in its own sphere supreme, but that she should really perfect their authority, just as divine grace perfects human nature, and should give to them the assistance necessary for men to attain their true final end, eternal happiness, and by that very fact make them the more deserving and certain promoters of their happiness here below.

It is, therefore, a fact which cannot be questioned that the true peace of Christ can only exist in the Kingdom of Christ -- "the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ." It is no less unquestionable that, in doing all we can to bring about the re-establishment of Christ's kingdom, we will be working most effectively toward a lasting world peace. (Pope Pius XI, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922.)

When, therefore, governments and nations follow in all their activities, whether they be national or international, the dictates of conscience grounded in the teachings, precepts, and example of Jesus Christ, and which are binding on each and every individual, then only can we have faith in one another's word and trust in the peaceful solution of the difficulties and controversies which may grow out of differences in point of view or from clash of interests. An attempt in this direction has already and is now being made; its results, however, are almost negligible and, especially so, as far as they can be said to affect those major questions which divide seriously and serve to arouse nations one against the other. No merely human institution of today can be as successful in devising a set of international laws which will be in harmony with world conditions as the Middle Ages were in the possession of that true League of Nations, Christianity. It cannot be denied that in the Middle Ages this law was often violated; still it always existed as an ideal, according to which one might judge the acts of nations, and a beacon light calling those who had lost their way back to the safe road.

There exists an institution able to safeguard the sanctity of the law of nations. This institution is a part of every nation; at the same time it is above all nations. She enjoys, too, the highest authority, the fullness of the teaching power of the Apostles. Such an institution is the Church of Christ. She alone is adapted to do this great work, for she is not only divinely commissioned to lead mankind, but moreover, because of her very make-up and the constitution which she possesses, by reason of her age-old traditions and her great prestige, which has not been lessened but has been greatly increased since the close of the War, cannot but succeed in such a venture where others assuredly will fail. (Pope Pius XI, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922.)

The path to the restoration of the Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ runs through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Our Lady, she who is our Immaculate Queen and Most Blessed Mother.  

To have true peace in the souls of men and thus within and among nations requires us to remain faithful to Our Lady’s Fatima Message, especially, of course, through her Most Holy Rosary, and the fact that Robert Francis Prevost could not utter a beep about the Prince of Peace nor His Most Blessed Mother, to whose Immaculate Heart He has entrusted the cause of true world peace, should tell those with a modicum of intellectual honesty all one needs to know about the state of general apostasy exists at this time.

Have confidence!

In the end, Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart will triumph.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
