This is a short reflection on the Feast of Saint Peter's Chains and the Commemoration of the Holy Machabees.

It is not for nothing that Angelo Roncalli/John XXIII suppressed the Feast of Saint Peter's Chains sixty-six years ago as, whether he knew it or not, a way for the adverstary to hide the events recounted in the Lesson read at Holy Mass on this feast wh3n it does not on a Sunday and thus not come to the realization that Roncalli himself had taken the papacy in chains so that the work of the new religion and its new church could commence.

Today, Saturday, August 1, 2026, is also one of the two days in the liturgical year on which one can earn the Toties Quoties indulgence for the Poor Souls in Purgatory. This indulgence can be earned by entering into a Catholic church and then praying the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be prayers six times each for the needs of Holy Mother Church, especially for the restoration of a true pope on the Throne of Saint Peter, an intention for which we must pray fervently every day without fail.

The next original article should be published by late this afternoon. Another one should follow on late Sunday afternoon or on Monday, August 3, 2026, the Feast of the Finding of the Body of Saint Peter. 

Donations are need now. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola was a valiant solder in the Army of Christ, a soldier who did battle with the very errors of Martin Luther that are the foundation of much of the counterfeit church of conciiarism and has celebrated openly by the conciliar "popes." 

Saint Ignatius laid down his military armor in front of an image of Our Lady in the Benedictine monastery in Montserrat, Spain, on the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25, 1522, becoming a soldier in the army of Christ the King. Saint Ignatius of Loyola was always in the "company of Jesus," always seeking to advance the cause of the Holy Faith. Saint Ignatius of Loyola attracted men of character and determination of purpose right from the beginning, men who were serious about retarding the advances of the Protestant Revolution and seeking the conversion of pagans in far away lands.

A new commentary, Revised and Expanded: Memorandum to Anthony Fauci: You Cannot Invoke the Fifth Amendment before Christ the King, Your Divine Judge, was published about twenty-four hours ago and then revised late yesterday afternoon. 

As noted below in the introduction to the article linked just above, non-tax-deductible financal gifts are urgently needed now. Thank you,

Our Lady of the Society of Jesus, pray for us.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola, S.J. pray for us.

This commentary has been substantially expanded since its publication over fourteen hours ago now. I am publishing this commentary as revised and will also published the revised version on its own for those who have read it already.

I remain afflicted with the penitential condition from which I have suffered since June 27, 2026, and my recent visit to a gastroenterologist’s office was inconclusive to the point of being a waste of time as far as I am concerned. The first set of lab tests are waiting to be processed by Labcorp in Dublin, Ohio, and I am told that nothing can be done until cyclosporiasis is ruled in or out.

Thus, please understand that I am continuing with my work as circumstances permit and hope to have another commentary for you by tomorrow, the Feast of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, or on Saturday, August 1, 2026, the Feast of Saint Peter’s Chains and the Commemoration of the Holy Maccabees on the First Saturday in the month of August, the month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Non-tax-deductible financial gifts are urgently needed now. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Abdon and Sennen, pray for us.

Will miracles never cease?

Yes, I have finally produced a new commentary for this website’s readership.

The title is self-explanatory.

Thank you for your patience.

Good Saint Anne, pray for us.

This is a brief reflection on the saint who is celebrated today, Saint James the Greater, and Saint Christopher, who is commemorated today, Saturday, July 25, 2026, and our Good Saint Anne, whose feast is celebrated tomorrow, Sunday, July 26, 2026. The Feasf of the Our Lady, Mother of Mercy is also commemorated in some places today as well, the Saturday before the last Sunday in July.

My next original article should appear later today or tomorrow, Thank you for your patience as I have been dealing with a problem for four weeks now that remains undiagnosed because a local hospital botched a specimen of mine when an employee did not follow the protocol to send the specimen to a large laboratory for analysis and, despite pleadings on my part, I won't be any to be examined by a gastroenterologist until Monday. Suffice it to say that both and sleep have been difficult during the past four weeks. Oh, I should also add that I have not eaten at Taco Bell for over forty years. That is all I can say unti a laboratory report comes back to me. Penance is better than ever in 2026!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint James the Greater, pray for us.

Saint Christopher, pray for us. 

Saint Anne, pray for us.

I had the privilege in the Fall of 1984 of compiling a name index for an anthology of his articles that were published under the title of Women Priests and Other Fantasies, finding time for this while I was teaching three courses as an adjunct professor in the Department of Government and Politics at Saint John's University in Jamaica, Queens, New York.

The counterfeit church of conciliarism’s warfare against Catholic Faith, Worship, and Morals in now in a stage where fiends such Blase Cupich, the conciliar “archbishop” of Chicago, Illinois, having successfully cooperated with the late Jorge Mario Bergoglio and those of like mind in this country such as Joseph Tobin and Robert McElroy to normalize sodomy and other forms of deviant perversity, are now attempting to de-stigmatize the act of self-annihilation that is suicide:

This is a relatively brief relection about Saint Vincent de Paul, whose feast is commemorated today, the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, July 19, 2026.

President Donald John Trump was sold a bill of goods by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prior to the onset of the joint American Israeli aerial bombing of the Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28, 2026. Trump bought Netanyahu’s pitch that a military strike on Iran’s top leadership would demoralize Iran’s military forces and provide the impetus for a popular rebellion.
