Today's republished offering is a revised and expanded reflection on the missionary work of Saint Boniface, the Apostle to Germany, who stands as a rebuke to the conciliar "popes" and their embrace of false religions.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Boniface, pray for us.

Today is the great Feast of Corpus Christi. This article, written a long time ago now and slightly revised over the years, is an exhortation to the readers of this site to spend more and more time in adoration before Our Beloved before His Real Presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament if this is at all possible in your area. 

This commentary focuses on the currently reigning universal public face of apostasy’s solitary mention in Magnifica Humanitas, May 15, 2026, to the most pressing issue of social justice today, namely, the daily slaughter of innocent preborn human beings by chemical and surgical means, and his misrepresentation of the Catholic Church’s consistent condemnation of chattel slavery by apologizing for Pope Nicolas V’s Dum Diversas without noting anything about Pope Nicholas’s concern for repressing the Mohammedan subjugation of Catholics in Africa that played a significant role in his issuing his Papal Bull.

Part four of this commentary will demonstrate how these encyclical letters are contrary to “Pope” Leo XIV’s beliefs, most of which are formed by the conciliar revolution and not a commitment to Pope Leo XIII’s reiteration of the immutable Catholic teaching on matters of Church-State relations, religious liberty, marriage and the family, and the nature of Holy Mother Church.

I am sorry for the delay in completing this commentary. However, I fell asleep in my recliner chair aroundthis time yesterday, waking up about three hours later when my notebook computer fell out of my lap and onto the floor. 

Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament. 

Today, Monday, June 1, 2026, is the Transferred  Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary  and the Commemoration of Saint Angela Merici.

Work continues on part three of my current series. However, I just cannot stay up any longer to work on it. Most of the commentary is completed, but there is more work that needs to be done.

A blessed feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary to you all.

Our Lady, Queen of Heaven and Earth, pray for us.

Saint Angela Merici, pray for us.

Today is Trinity Sunday and the Commemorations of the First Sunday after Pentecost, thus beginning the second half of the liturgical year that began with the First Sunday of Advent.

The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity was revealed to us by Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Although there are clear references in the text of the Old Testament to a plurality of Persons in the Divine Godhead ("Let us make man in our own image"), human reason, which can come to the conclusion that God exists, is insufficient to know about the existence of the Most Blessed Trinity. Our Lord Himself, the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity made Man in Our Lady's Virginal and Immaculate Womb, had to reveal this to us. The doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity is rejected by all infidels and misrepresented by most Protestant sects.

To wit, many Protestants, especially in the evangelical and fundamentalist sects, are "baptized" in "the name of the Lord Jesus," not in "The Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," which is invalid on its face. This means that many hundreds of thousands of Protestants are not even Christians despite their thinking that they are. We must defend the doctrine of the Most Blessed Trinity with our very lives if necessary, having frequent recourse to the making of the Sign of the Cross throughout the day. This is a custom that is held dear by many Spaniards and Latin Americans.

The order of the subjects to be covered in part three of my current series has been changed in light of Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV's meeting with the pro-abortion, pro-sodomite, pro-criminal, pro-illegal immigration Brandon Johnson, the loathsome Mayor of the City of Chicago, Illionis, which is awash with street crime, shootings and, most recently, "teen takeovers" of The Loop in the Windy City. 

While I carry no brief for supreme narcissicist, Donald John Trump, who sits by as his Zionist pals take over what remains of Gaza and is engaging in what the Israeli government calls a "scorched warthly" policy in southern Lebanon, the fact that the man most people believe is "Pope Leo XIV" cordially received yet another bloodthirsty  pro-abort politician to discuss how to stop the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency from arresting and deporting illegal immgrants who have commited violent crimes. Prevost/Leo also talked to Johnson about "reparations" to black Chicagoans for slavery, a subject whose history he grave distorted and mispresented in Magnifica Humanitas.

Thus, having stopped work on part three because the commentary will take at least another five to six hours to complete, I will get back to work on it this afternoon.

A blessed Trinity Sunday to you all.

Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, pray for us.

Saint Petronilla, pray for us.

Today, Saturday, May 30, 2026, is the final day of the Octave of Pentecost. The Paschal Season, which began with the Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday, April 4, 2026, ends after the conclusion of Holy Mass today, which is also the Commemoration of Pope Saint Felix I universally and, in some places, of King Saint Ferdinand III, King of Leon and Castile, and of our beloved Saint Joan of Arc. 

Today is also the sixty-seventh anniversary of my own First Holy Communion at Saint Aloysius Church, Great Neck, New York. Please pray for my fellow First Communicants, living and deceased, as well as the priests (the late Bishop Vincent Baldwin, then the pastor of Saint Aloyisus Church and then the first auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre on June 4, 1962, and the late Fathers Robert E. Mason, Christopher Huntington, and James Collins) and sisters who prepared for us this milestone in our Catholic lives. (The day itself was glorious with a temperature in the high eighties and clear skies. As it happened both my paternal grandparents and my maternal grandfather by adoption, Chief Red Fox, then visiting from Corpus Christi, Texas, were present as well. I remember the entire day very well.)

This is part two of my continuing series about Manifica Humanitas. Part three should appear around this time tomorrow morning, Trinity Sunday, May 31, 2026.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Felix I, pray for us.

King Saint Ferdinand III, pray for us.

Saint Joan of Arc, pray for us.

This is first part of a multipart series on Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV's Magnifica Humanitas.

Part two should appear around this time tomorrow.

Remember today is Ember Friday in Whitsun Week as well as the commemoration of Saint Mary Magdalene de Pazzi. This is a day of abstitence from neat and fasting.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Mary Magdelene de Pazzi, pray for us.

I spent much time yesterday reading and re-reading the text of the latest work of conciliar anthropocentrism with a slight—and very distorted—Christian gloss of Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas and will prepare a comprehensive overview of the ode to “man” that contains no reference to Original Sin or fallen human nature for publication by this time tomorrow, Whit Friday, or Whit Saturday. The “encyclical” is a phenomenal testament to the convoluted nature of the Modernist mind and its belief in the “goodness” of man and to the contention that pluralism does not result into disorder and disarray but is the foundation of the “civilization of love” as part of the synodal “process.”

For the moment, though, as I am still somewhat tired from completing the most recent original commentary on this site, which was revised and expanded in various places yesterday afternoon, I present to you this brief reflection on Saint Augustine of Canterbury, whose feast is commemorated today, Whit Thursday, May 28, 2026.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Augustine of Canterbury, pray for us.

This is an impossibly late hour, but I wanted to complete this commentary on the primary election defeat of United States Representative Thomas K. Massie eight days ago.  [This commentary was revised about eleven hours after its initial posting to correct a few sentence structure problems and to add a few areas of emphasis and clarification. Thank you for your patience.]

I am reviewing Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV’s first encyclical letter, which will require me to write a series of commentaries to assess properly, and I hope to have an overview of the tome sometime after Midnight tomorrow, Whit Thursday and the Commemoration of Saint Augustine of Canterbury.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Bede the Venerable, pray for us.

Pope Saint John I, pray for us.

Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV has been quite the industrious little ecumenical termite during the three hundred three hundred eighty-two days since he walked about on the loggia of the Basilica of Saint Peter on Thursday, May 8, 2025, the Feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael the Archangel, to begin his masquerade as the “Pope Leo XIV.”
