A recent Pew Survey on Religion showed that 8.4 Catholics leave what they think is the Catholic Church for every one convert thereto. This means that 840 baptized Catholics leave the Holy Faith for every 100 that convert.

Today’s commentary’s title is very self-explanatory in this regard.

Most of today, the Feast of Pope Saint Gregory the Great and the Commemoration of Ember Wednesday in Lent, will be spent revising the review of Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s twelve years in charge of the conciliar wrecking ball.

What has to be revised?

References to Jorge Mario Bergoglio in the past tense as he has been the beneficiary of medical care that should be given anyone and everyone in his condition but is generally denied in favor of “palliative care,” which is euthanasia by another name (see Chronicling the Adversary's Global Takeover of the Healthcare Industry, which is included in a book published five years ago, Life, Death, and Truth: Under Attack by Medicine and Law).

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Gregory the Great, pray for us.

This is a republished reflection on Pope Saint Gregory the Great, whose feast is celebrated today Wednesday, March 12, 2025 (which is also Ember Wednesday in Lent), that draws principally upon Pope Saint Pius X's Iucunda Sane, March 12, 1904.

A new commentary will be published almost immediately hereafter.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Gregory the Great, pray for us.

President Donald John Trump continues to insist upon his immoral social-engineering scheme in Gaza. European leaders, who are as wrong about Ukraine as Trump is correct about the situation in Kyiv (Kiev), are opposing the plan with one of their own to rebuild Gaza not as a “Riveria” for the world’s rich and famous but for the Palestinians themselves. Then again, there is a long Anglo-Saxon and American history of social engineering and regime change.

This commentary provides just a bit of that history.

My next conciliar-themed commentary should appear tomorrow, Tuesday, March 11, 2025, Tuesday in the First Week of Lent.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

The Forty Holy Martyrs of Sebaste, pray for us.

Unfortunately, I am too exhausted from the article posted about twenty-one hours, fifteen minutes ago to complete work on my next original commentary.

Instead, however, I am offering a few brief words to bookend Dom Prosper Gueranger’s reflections on the First Sunday of Lent (on which is also commemorated the Feast of Saint Frances of Rome this year), followed by three appendices containing Father Francis X. Weninger’s three sermons for the First Sunday of Lent.

Finally, although I will write about the subject within the next few days, Jorge Mario Bergoglio is getting the sort of intensive care to facilitate his breathing as he recovers from double pneumonia and at least three other respiratory “crises” that is, at least for the most part, denied to those who are around Bergoglio’s age. Most other people whose ability to breathe has been compromised would be told that it is time for “hospice” so as to have a “compassionate,” painless death.

My point is this: everyone in the same condition as Jorge Mario Bergoglio should have the exact same care that he is getting without any “medical professional” mentioning “hospice” at any time. Although I am not unconvinced that the false “pontiff” might ask for such “compassionate care,” which he supports erroneously as morally justifiable, the fact that he is being treated proactively and not being subjected to the Hemlock cocktails that are nothing other than euthanasia under the euphemism of “compassionate care” (hospice) demonstrates that many within the medical industry believe that some patients are entitled to a level care that is denied to most others.

Pray daily for the restoration of a true pope on the Throne of Saint Peter.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Frances of Rome, pray for us.

The hour is late. The title is self-explanatory.

I hope to have a conciliar-related commentary by tomorrow afternoon, the First Sunday of Lent and the Commemoration of Saint Frances of Rome.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John of God, pray for us.

This article in honor of Saint John of God, whose feast is celebrated today, was written eighteen years ago now. A lot of hard work went into its completion. I believe it to be one a piece that will give great consolation to those who have not as of yet read it.

Saint John of God was little understood during his life. It was the case that even his longtime spiritual director, Saint John of Avila, who knew him fairly well, did not understand his decisions. Saint John of God suffered from all manner of slanders and even beatings in his life. He suffered slanders even up to the point of his own death. It was enough for him to be understood by God. It should be enough for us as well, especially during this time of apostasy and betrayal when so many of us are misunderstood and castigated by relatives and friends and acquaintances as being "outside of the Church" for our refusal to make any concessions to conciliarism or its false shepherds. We should be grateful that we are as misunderstood and hated and calumniated as was Saint John of God!

A new commentary will be published in about twenty minutes. Although containing a lot of familir points, the commentary is a new composition. However, this having been noted, I think that, upon its publication, I will have exhausted my efforts to discsus the inability of naturalism to "resolve" social problems until I next think it relevant and useful to do so yet again. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John of God, pray for us.

This is a revised and expanded, although still entirely inadequate, commentary on the Feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Friday,  March 7, 2025.

The next original article should be published within twenty-four hours as it is going to be another "root causes" commentary. These take a while to complete.  

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., pray for us.

With apologies for the delay, caused both by working on my detailed review of Jorge Mario Bergoglio's time as the universal public face of apostasy that appears will continue for at least a little while longer within the Providence of God and by the continued flu-like sickness that is now in its thirteenth full day, this commentary discusses the now infamous postruing and preening of one Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday, February 28, 2025.

Tomorrow's commentary will be a brief discussion of President Donald John Trump's State of the Union Address that, no matter how hilarious in its delivery and no matter how childish his defiantly clueless foes in the false opposite of the naturalist left showed themselves to be once again, was mostly an exercise in Americanist Pelagianism.

Today, Thursday, March 6, 2025, the Feast of Saints Perpetua and Felicity and of the Commemoration of Thursday after Ash Wednesday, would have been the one hundred fourth birthday of my late mother, Norma Florence Red Fox Droleskey, who was born on March 6, 1921, as Maxine Coomer to an unwed mother, Ruth Coomer, at a foundling hospital in Kanas City, Missouri. (She was adopted by a vaudevillian performer who claimed to be a Sioux Indian Chieftain--see Guest Column: Chief Red Fox, by George Farias--some months later along with her twin brother, Max Coomer, who was renamed Louis Red Fox in honor of "The Chief's" brother, Louis Humes, and later died in infancy. My mother herself was renamed as Norma Florence Red Fox in honor of my adoptive grandather's only siser, Norma Irene Humes. Please pray for the soul of my late mother, who died of stomach and esophageal cancer on March 18, 1982, in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Our  Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Perpetua and Felicity, pray for us.

Our annual Lenten journey into the desert begins today, Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025. Deo gratias!

The season that begins on Ash Wednesday is the time of penance. This is the time to withdraw from the world. This is the time to be earnest about relying upon the ineffable graces that were won for us by the shedding of every single drop of the Most Precious Blood of Our Divine Redeemer, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, during His Passion and Death and that flow into our sous through the loving hands of His Most Blessed Mother, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces.

This period of six weeks, four days until Easter Sunday (six weeks, three and one-half days until the Easter Vigil) is nearly one-ninth of an entire calendar year. May we beg Our Lady to help us make the best Lent of our lives as we do not know if it will be our last. Indeed, we do not know whether we will live to see Easter Sunday in this life on Sunday, April 20, 2025.

Now, I have been busy these past few days preparing what is either going to be a twelfth anniversary restrospective on the destuctive work that has been done by Jorge Mario Bergoglio since walking out onto the balcony of the Basilica of Saint Peter on Wednesday, March 13, 2013, or a review of that terrible work after his death. The review is almost in its final form, although there are some more points that I am going to add in the next few days presuming the Argentine Apostate will contine to remain hospitalized barring his death. The review has taken many hours to assemble, which why I have not had time to write any new commentary in the past few days. 

Additionally, I am still dealing with the penitential offering called the flu of one kind or another, the most prominent feature of which, other than a nagging cough, has been and continues to be fatigue. Well, Lent has begun, and penance is better than ever in 2025!

Nevertheless, there should be a new article tomorrow on the Feast of Saints Perpetua and Felicity and the Commemoration of Thursday after Ash Wednesday. 

Thank you.

Our Lady of Dolors, pray for us.

Quinquageisma Sunday update: I am still working on what will be a detailed commentary about Jorge Mario Bergoglio's false pontificate after he dies or a review of this false pontificate on the occasion of his twelfth anniversary of being elected as the sixth universal public face of apostasy as the head of the false conciliar sect. I made substantial headway yesterday and hope to make some more today. So much apostasy, so little time, but at least I am working on the project despite my own flu-like illness that is now in its tenth day. Penance is indeed better than ever in 2025! An article on a different topic, though, should appear by tomorrow, Monday, March 3, 2025.

Although President Donald John Trump and Vice President did a masterful job of putting the Ukrainian grifter named Volodymyr Zelensky in his place yesterday, Friday, February 28, 2025, we must never fall into the Judeo-Masonic naturalistic trap of developing intense attachments to those in public life other than the commitment in Christian charity that we must perform daily to pray for the conversion of everyone in public life to the true Faith and/or to a correct view of the Holy Faith as the only standard by which we are to understand the events of this passing, mortal vale of tears.

Thus, the same man, Donald John Trump, who reamed out the man who has used American taxpayers as his personal ATM even before Russia’s unjust invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Volodymyr Zelensky, is the same man who put an artificially generated image of himself enjoying the decadent “pleasures” of “Trump Gaza,” including an image of a giant golden statue of himself.

Can any say King Donald John Nabuchodonosor?

Finally, although Jorge Mario Bergoglio may or may not die from the serious conditions that have required him to be hospitalized for two weeks, it is probably the case that many parishes within the conciliar structures are planning their own “celebrations of life” for their revered “pope.” It is perhaps that the “closing song” in one or more of these parishes might be as follows given the fact that white is the chosen color for “Masses of Christian Burial” in the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical travesty: Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehen. (Although Lawrence Welk was a faithful Catholic of German-Russian immigrant parents in North Dakota, I never once watched his show, and it was on television for over twenty years. I only know the closing theme from his show because it was played by organist Jane Jarvis on the Thomas organ at Shea Stadium every time fans filed out of the ballpark after a Mets’ home game between April 17m 1964, and her retirement in August of 1979. It fits the mood of the celebratory festive nature of the Novus Ordo.)

Continue to pray for the conversion of the lay Jesuit revolutionary, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, to the Catholic Faith before he dies, whenever that might be within the Providence of God.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, Patron of Departing Souls and Terror of Demons, pray for us.
