While I am aware that the Supreme Court of the United States of America will be rendering decisions in five important cases this week, this commentary on the decision of the Court in the case of Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, will be the last “stand alone” commentary the Court’s decisions for a while. Commentary about these forthcoming decisions will be folded into Naturally Absurd, part two,” which I will start writing after completing part two of “Counterfeit Church, Counterfeit Sacraments, Counterfeit Teaching, Counterfeit Everything” in a few days.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

[A commentary on two recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States of America is being written. Barring any unforeseen complications, the commentary should be published by tomorrow morning on the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Please scroll below for information on my latest book,  see The Battle Over the Oyster Bay-Rye Bridge: Defeating Nelson Rockefeller and Preserving Long Island Sound.]

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 to you all!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

[Update on the Octave Day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Commemoration of Saints John and Paul within the Octave of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist: Work on my next original article is nearly complete. The hour, however, is late, and I need at least four or five more hours to write the conclusion and then to format it for publication on this platform. 

[In the meantime, however, in addition to the completion of my newest book and the commencement of the promotional work in its behalf, I want to inform the readers of this site that an article dealing with many of the developments in the absurd world of naturalism will be forthcoming in about two weeks after part two of the new commentary is completed by the middle of next week. Given all that is happening witih the Plandemic right now, though, it appears that part six of "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus" may have to be written next month as time permits. An anthology on matters pertaining to the medical industry and the proper care of the sick is also being prepared at this time.

[Finally, an article by Dr. Joseph Mercola has caught my attention, and I hereby call it to the attention of this site's readers: Why Social Distancing Should Not Be the New Normal ]

This very brief reflection demonstrates the contrast between the purity and zeal for the conversion of sinners exhibited by the last of the Old Testament Prophets, Saint John the Baptist, with the impurity of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who is content to "accompany" unrepentant sinners in the name of a false "mercy" that can lead both him and those he indemnifies to eternal perdition. A longer reflection, His Name Shall Be John, is archived on this site and was included in the text of To Live in Light of Eternity, Volume 3, which, of course, is still available for purchase in paperback or Kindle formats.

Speaking of books, the revised version of my doctoral dissertation, The Battle Over the Oyster Bay-Rye Bridge: Defeating Nelson Rockefeller and Preserving Long Island Sound, is now available for purchase in both ebook and paperback formats. The book, which is an examination of how two ad hoc, single-purpose political interest groups gradually built what they called "picket fences" from 1964 to 1973 to isolate Governor Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller in his quest to build a bridge over Long Island Sound, contains an author's afterword of interest to Catholics and has a foreword written by a former academic colleague. Obviously, the book will not be of interest to many readers of this site. However, a few may find the narrative of the intrigue, which was documented by the researching of primary sources and first-hand interviews of seventy-six people involved in the controversy in one form or another, interesting to read.

Finally, yes, work continues on the next conciliarism-related article. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Today's feast, which was extended to the universal church by Pope Pius IX, is the result of at least six centuries of devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus that culminated with the apparitions of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque at the height of Jansenism in the late-Seventeenth Century. 

None of us deserves the mercies of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Yet it is that Our Divine Redeemer does indeed shower us with those mercies if we approach Him with a contrite heart, especially by making regular use of the Sacred Tribunal Penance to make good, integral confessions of our sins to a true priest as we promise to amend our lives, to do penance and to sin no more. We are loved by Love Himself. We are loved particularly by Love Incarnate, Who died for us on the wood of the Holy Cross to redeem us.

Our Lord's love for us is an act of His Divine Will, the ultimate expression of which is the salvation of our immortal souls as members of His Catholic Church. What an obligation we have to return love unto Love Himself as we seek to serve Him as His consecrated slaves through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

What happened to my promised commentary on Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia?

Good question.

I have been busy preparing an updated and revised version of my doctoral dissertation for publication, a project that has required whatever attention I could give to it on any particular day. As it has turned out, John Glover Roberts has had a busy week protecting the work of the District of Columbia swampland, a reality that will expand the scope of the commentary that I had hoped to have published yesterday, the Octave Day of Corpus Christi and the Commememoration of Saint Ephrem the Deacon and the Commemoration of Saints Mark and Marcillianus. It is now my hope to have the next commentary published by Sunday within the Octave of the Sacred Heart and the Commemoration of Saint Aloysius Gonazaga, S. J.

A blessed Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to you all.

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us.

[This commentary was revised somewhat on Sunday, June 14, 2020, Sunday within the Octave of Corpus Christi and the Commemoration of Saint Basil the Great, to include an additional piece of information as well as link to another article.]

Well, the Feast of Corpus Christi has now turned into the Friday within this great feast's octave (and the commemorations of Saint John of San Facundo and of Saints Basilides, Cyrinius, Nabor and Nazarius), and the only strength that this author has left at this point is to post this part five of "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus," which I hope will be the last installment in this series.

It is my present intention to write two more commentaries for this site this month as I continue to work on book projects, one of which should be ready for publication next week. One of the two articles with deal with Father Carlo Vigano's discovery that there has been a "parallel church" since the "Second" Vatican Council without his coming to the logical conclusion that must follow from such a discovery and the other article will be part two of "Naturally Absurd," which will be a lengthy commentary on the political absurdities of the moment going back to the impeachment trial and the "national prayer breakfast" the day after its conclusion and continuing to the present time.

Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, pray for us.

Saint John of San Facundo, pray for us.

Saints Basilides, Cyrinius, Nabor and Nazarius, pray for us.
