The Most Precious Blood of Jesus is our laver of redemption, as our own sins, each and every single one of them, caused It to be shed during the events of Holy Thursday and Good Friday.

It was the thought of coming into contact with the horror of our sins, the very antithesis of His Sacred Divinity, that caused Our Lord to sweat droplets of His Most Precious Blood in His Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.

It was our sins that caused the Most Precious Blood of Jesus to be shed so terribly during His cruel scourging at the Pillar.

It was our sins that caused the Most Precious Blood of Jesus to be shed as He was crowned with thorns to mock His Sacred Kingship over men and their nations.

It was our sins that caused the Most Precious Blood of Jesus to continue to be shed from the scourging and the crowning as He walked up the steps to be judged by the Roman procurator, Pontius Pilate. Droplets of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus are still venerated by pilgrims as proceed on their knees up the Sancta Scala in Rome right across from the Basilica di San Giovanni Laterano.

It was our sins that caused the Most Precious Blood to be shed as Our Lord’s hands and knees were crucified. It was our sins that caused the Most Precious Blood of Jesus to be shed unto Its last drop as He hung on the gibbet of the Holy Holy Cross for three hours, flowing in a torrent as Our Lord’s wounded side was pierced with the lance of Saint Longinus.

What is It that is poured out onto our souls when they are Absolved by a true priest in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance?

The Most Precious Blood of Jesus.

The Most Precious Blood of Jesus strengthens us when we receive It worthily in Holy Communion.

It was the shedding of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus on the wood of the Holy Cross that ratified the New and Eternal Covenant He inaugurated at the Last Supper, thereby obliterating forever the old sacrifices of the blood of bulls and goats and lambs in Temple worship, thus superseding he Old Covenant of the Jews.

We must celebrate this great Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, which was pumped through Our Divine Redeemer’s Sacred Body by His Most Sacred Heart, the very font of Mercy, with gratitude that we, sinners who caused It to be shed in torrents under the most unspeakably cruel conditions, are bathed unto our redemption by Its merits.

May we never take the Most Precious Blood of Jesus for granted.

A blessed Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ and Octave Day of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist to you all! 

The Society of Saint Pius X's consecrations take place in Econe, Switzerland, today. While I was intending to write a brief article about this, our daughter had to leave work early yesterday morning because of the pain caused by an abcessed tooth and Sharon then proceeded to break her left foot when tending to one of Lucy's horses because she came back home from work. 

Thus, my ladies are about ninety miles away in a hotel close located near the offices of a biological dentist for Lucy to be examined in seven hours and then I will drive Sharon to a podiatrist locally for her foot to be imaged about five hours later after their return home. Most of last evening was spent planning the logistics of the travel and to get Lucy some relief at an urgent care. Please pray for them! 

In the meantime, therefore, I offer a commentary, Back to the Future with the Society of Saint Pius X, written five month ago after the Society's Superior General, Father Davide Pellegrini, announced that new episcopal consecrations would take place in defiance of the direct command of the man they consider to be a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter, Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV. So much for the following words of Pope Saint Pius X after whom the Society of Saint Pius X is named:

And how must the Pope be loved? Non verbo neque lingua, sed opere et veritate. [Not in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth - 1 Jn iii, 18] When one loves a person, one tries to adhere in everything to his thoughts, to fulfill his will, to perform his wishes. And if Our Lord Jesus Christ said of Himself, “si quis diligit me, sermonem meum servabit,” [if any one love me, he will keep my word - Jn xiv, 23] therefore, in order to demonstrate our love for the Pope, it is necessary to obey him.

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.

This is the cry of a heart filled with pain, that with deep sadness I express, not for your sake, dear brothers, but to deplore, with you, the conduct of so many priests, who not only allow themselves to debate and criticize the wishes of the Pope, but are not embarrassed to reach shameless and blatant disobedience, with so much scandal for the good and with so great damage to souls. (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.

This means that those who dissent from “Pope Leo XIV” in the belief that he is a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter are not holy or that “Pope Leo XIV” is no pope at all as it would never be necessary to oppose him and to dissent from his false teachings if he were such.

A true pope is the only standard of the Catholic Faith, and he is to reverenced and obeyed, not disparaged and defied.

Then again, who listens to much of what I have to say? 

And with that, I am going to get a few hours of sleep and hope to have some time later today to write about the consecrations after they have taken place and Prevost/Leo's "canonical" penalites imposed.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Today, Tuesday, June 30, 2026, is the Commemoration of Saint Paul and within the Octave of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist. 

This is a brief tribute to Saint Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, on his feast day. 

In addition to the book project upon which I am working, I have formatted and gathered information for two original commentaries, one on the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States of America to permit the counting of mail-in ballots after election day (thank you, Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett--see Steeped in the Errors of Americanism and Conciliarism Through No Fault of Her Own, Notice to All Judicial Nominees: Check Your Catholic Faith at the Door, and Supreme Delusions Enable Supreme Tyrants to Supremely Crush Dissent) and other on the upcoming consecrations of new bishops by the Society of Saint Pius X and of Father Michael Mary of the Transalpine Redemptorists by Bishop Pierre Roy. 

It takes me longer to complete commentaries.  However, I do keep working on them day by day. 

Our Lady, Queen the Apostles, pray for us.

Saint Paul, pray for us.

Saint Peter, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

This is a mostly new commentary for today’s Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul as I am working on putting out a version of some past commentaries on this feast in book form as soon as I can secure assistance with devising a cover.

Anyhow, a blessed Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul to you all and a happy anniversary to all those true priests ordained on June 29 over the course of the past fifty-three years or so.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

The hour is late.

This relatively brief commentary concerns the fact that, as I noted four years in the immediate aftermath of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the case of Thomas Dobbs, Mississippi State Health Officer v. Jackson Women’s Organization, June 24, 2022, the Feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, although Roe v. Wade is gone, baby-killing continues—and the number of its victims continue to rise.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Irenaeus, pray for us.

Finally!

After what seems to be an eternity for me, I am offering yet another commentary about the nefarious Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was the subject of much discussion following former United States Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s report about the role that the American intelligence community played in the suppression of the fact that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was conducting gain-of-function virus studies on coronaviruses at Fauci’s behest even though Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro had placed a moratorium on American funding of such studies in 2015.

The recent reports contain nothing “new,” and this new commentary of mine walks readers down this website’s institutional memory lane to explain that pretty much everything about Fauci and the Wuhan Virus was known in early-2020.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints John and Paul, pray for us.

Today's great feast, coming as it does six months, one day prior to Christmas Day, is only one of three in the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church that commemorates a physical birth (or Nativity). Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's Nativity in Bethlehem in celebrated on Christmas Day, December 25. Our Lady Nativity is celebrated on September 8. And Our Lord's Precursor, the son of Saint Elizabeth, Saint John the Baptist, is privileged to have his own Nativity celebrated this very day. This is a tremendous feast day in the life of the Catholic Church. 

Saint John the Baptist, the last of the Old Testament prophets, prepared the way for the coming of Our Lord prior to the assumption of His Public Ministry. Freed from Original Sin in the womb of his mother, Saint Elizabeth, who was Saint Anne's cousin, at the moment of Our Lady's Visitation, Saint John the Baptist preached fearlessly to convert sinners from their sinful ways and to prepare them to accept his Cousin, God Incarnate, as their Redeemer. He also knew that he had to decrease in stature in the world as Our Lord increased following His symbolic baptism in the Jordan River, during which, of course, God the Father sent a dove, symbolizing God the Holy Ghost, spoke to tell us in no uncertain terms, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3: 17), a proclamation that would God the Father repeated at Our Lord's Transfiguration (Matthew 17: 5).

Saint John the Baptist fearlessly proclaimed the truth. He lost his head for doing so. In like manner, of course, we must proclaim the truth, doing so out of fidelity to Our Lord as He has revealed Himself to His true Church, and in true Charity for the eternal good of others, recognizing at all times that we are but weak vessels of clay, full of faults and failings, who must make much reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary for our sins.

It is not easy to speak truth to those in power. Saint John the Baptist knew this.

Those in power, such as King Herod the Tetrarch, who was married illicitly to his brother's wife even though his brother was still very much alive, frequently believe themselves to be beyond criticism and that each of their decisions are binding upon the consciences of all others, a power that Our Lord has given exclusively to true popes, who can indeed bind our consciences.

Those in civil power, however, tend to think of themselves as demigods whose musings on this or that subject carry great significance. No matter who the President of the United States of America is, for example, it is invariably the case that some sort variation of one false, naturalistic presupposition after another is supposed to be accepted by the populace as the foundation for the common good domestically and for peace internationally. These "demigods" can't possibly be wrong, of course. They believe that their shallow words and empty and sometimes contradictory statements are received from on high (actually, their words and actions come from below!) and anyone who dares to dissent from them is suspect of being a "domestic terrorist" or "unpatriotic."

Oh, where I have been?

Well, apart from the usual disabling maladies that I just have to live with as well-deserved penances for my many sins, I have been sick as a little bow-wow the past three days. I finally began to feel a little stronger a few hours ago before I began working on my next original article, yet another about contemptible sociopath named Anthony Fauci, that I feel confident will be completed in less than twenty-four hours from now. There's not much I can do about a fever, cold chills, weakness, and fatigue other than to pray to get better and to follow the advice of a Catholic physician-friend of ours.

So, I apologize for the delay, but God knew from all eternity that He would visit this most recent penance upon me, which I have accepted with love and gratitude for the opportunity to give Him honor and glory as the consecrated slave of His Co-Equal and Co-Eternal Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and to make reparation for what I owe Him for my sins.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us. 

I believe that it is appropriate on this commemorated feast of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, S.J.,to present this republished reflection to you.

Saint Aloysius Gonzaga was a great lover of the Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in His Real Presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament and of Our Lady. Saint Aloysius was intensely united to the sufferings that Our Lord endured in His Passion and Death, offering up his own sufferings prior to death, sufferings that he contracted as a result of helping a man with the plague in Rome, in union with that of Our Lord's own Passion and Death.

Saint Aloysius was also devoted to the angels, which makes sense as he had an angelic purity of his own. We need to invoke his holy intercession to help us to have as a pure a heart as he did as we attempt to make reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary for our own sins, especially any and all against Holy Purity.

It was at Saint Aloysius School in Great Neck, New York, where I learned the truths of the Catholic Faith as they were taught with clarity by the Reverend Sisters of Mercy (and one lay teacher, Miss Greta McCarthy, a young Irish immigrant who knew the Holy Faith very well, who became Mrs. Greta Foley after the end of the 1961-1962 school year; she died in 2012), I owe Saint Aloysius so very much. I have been devoted to him from the time that I entered Kindergarten in September of 1956.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, pray for us.

With apologies for the delay caused by the worsening of the carpal tunnel syndrome that is source of true and much deserved penance when writing these articles, here is part thirty-eight of this series.

The next commentary will deal once again with Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose sociopathic reign of deceit as the director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease between 1984 and 2022 has been the focus of over thirty commentaries on this site dating back to April of 2020, and the recent revelations made by outgoing Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, found in the intelligence community’s own documents.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Silverius, pray for us.

[Part thirty-eight of this series will appear later on Thursday, June 18, 2026, the Feast of Saint Ephraim the Deacon within the Octave of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Commemorations of Saint Mark and Marcellins and the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. I have to limit the amount of time that type because of the carpal tunnel syndrome that was diagnosed ten days ago.  However, I am working assiduousl\y on the next commmentary, and apologize for the fact that years I have spent writing these articles have caught with me. Penance is better than ever in 2026!]

Well, it turns out that I have been working on part thirty-seven of this series, not part thirty-eight. This is not a function of my age or my mildly atrophied cerebrum but a function of how I have always been: absent-minded despite a reasonably sound long term memory. Or, just perhaps, this might have something to do with the fact that my short-term memory is not as good as it used to be.

In any event, here is part thirty seven, which I had to redo late last evening in light of the “deal” announced by President Donald John Trump, the Pakistani mediators, and by Iranians themselves.

This is a reasonably short commentary.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Vitus, Crescentia, and Modestus, pray for us.
