Human respect was the subject of Father Francis X. Weninger's first sermon for the Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost, which was commemorated three days ago on Sunday, November 9, 2025, the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of the Holy Saviour (Basilica di San Giovanni Laterano), and I believe that this is a subject that must be near and dear to the heart of every Catholic so as to avoid compromising with the pluralistic spirit of religious indifferentism in the world and within the counterfeit church of conciliarism.

I hope to have another original commentary for you tomorrow, Thursday, November 13, 2025, the Feast of Saint Didacus, as I reiterate the urgent need for non-tax-deductible financial gifts. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Martin I, pray for us.

I am working on my next original commentary, but I have decided not to continue work thirty minutes after Midnight on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, the Feast of Saint Martin of Tours and the Commemoration of Saint Mennas.

Thus, I am providing readers with access to Dom Prosper Gueranger’s and Father Francis X. Weninger’s respective reflection on one of the most celebrated bishops of the First Millennium, Saint Martin of Tours.

Finally, there is a need for non-tax-deductible financial gifts. It is necessary to raise over $1500 now. Please help if at all possible.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Martin of Tours, pray for us.

Saint Mennas, pray for us.

The resist while recognize empire is in full resist while recognize mode these days after Victor Manuel Fernandez issued Mater Populi Fidelis on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, the Feast of Saint Charles Borromeo, with the approval of Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV. Many within the resistosphere, shall we say, have taken a “pass” on the Jansenist document that denies the title of Our Lady as the Co-Redemptrix and as the Mediatrix of All Graces and has so very much in common with the Jansenists of the Sorbonne in 1696 who attacked The Mystical City of God for many reasons, but especially for referencing the non-ecumenical titles of Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces.

The purpose of this commentary, therefore, is to remind readers that a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter is to be reverenced and obeyed, not disparaged and defied as one of the most tragic consequences of the conciliar revolution has been the destruction of the sensus Catholicus concerning the nature of the papacy and the obedience that Catholics must render to one who is a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter. The “resist while recognize” movement has succeeded in reducing the papacy instituted by Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to the level of the American presidency or to the level of a prime minister in a country with a parliamentary-ministerial system of government.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Andrew Avellino, pray for us.

Saint Respicus, Nympha, and Tryphon, pray for us.

Given the fact that another exercise in the farce of naturalism has taken place, I thought that it would be useful reprise a contrast the promise made by kings contained in Catholic Coronation Rite as found in the 1896 Pontificale Romanum to “cut off the mass of iniquity” with our own very blithe and passive acceptance of the “mass of iniquity” as evil keeps being advanced, whether at an accelerated rate by the coercive power of the civil state or at more imperceptible rate by means of its being institutionalized slowly so that people can become used to its acceptance, no matter which organized crime family of naturalism is in power.

There is also a brief reflection about the Last Gospel that is read today (the Gospel passage from the Twenty-Second Sunday After Pentecost) that fits very well into the subject of this study and there is an appendix containing Dom Prosper Gueranger's reflection on today's feast, the Dedication of the Basilica of the Divine Saviour--the Basilica of Saint John Lateran.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

This is a commentary about the off-year elections, which prove once again that men and their nations must fall into the abyss if they do not submit themselves with humility and docility to all that Holy Mother Church teaches infallibly in the Holy Name of her Divine Founder, Invisible Head, and Mystical Bridegroom, Christ the King.

I remind the multitudes that paperback version of A Study of Dom Prosper Gueranger's Detailed Defense of The Mystical City of God has been published. The back cover needs some work, shall we say. However, I am pleased that the front cover was sized properly, which was the reason I have been unable to publish the book until last evening. The book is very timely given the fact that Mater Populi Fidelis is redolent with the Jansenism of the doctors at the Sorbonne who attacked The Mystical City of God in the 1690s. Thus, another "best selling" epic has been published. (Not!)

Our Lady, Queen of All Saints, pray for us.

The Four Holy Crowned Martyrs, pray for us.

This is the concluding part of my two-part series discussing the monstrously blasphemous Mater Populi Fidelis.

This part focuses on the denial of Our Lady as the Mediatrix of All Graces.

Now, I may not have a commentary about the off-year elections and the death of the great warmonger named Richard Bruce Cheney, who was the naturalistic opposite of The Great Appeaser, James Earl Carter, Jr., until Friday, November 7, 2025, within the Octave of All Saints and the First Friday in the month of November.

Importantly,  a reader sent me to a truly manificent book, Our Lady: Mediatrix of All Graces, written by Father Raphael O'Connell, S.J., that was published in 1926: Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces. The book is under one hundred thirty pages in length and is written in a very clear and easy to understand mannner. I recommend to everyone as an antidote to Mater Fidelis Populi.

Finally, the paperback version of A Study of Dom Prosper Gueranger's Detailed Defense of The Mystical City of God has been published. The back cover needs some work, shall we say. However, I am pleased that the front cover was sized properly, which was the reason I have been unable to publish the book until last evening.

Scrape away all the gratuitous efforts to explain Our Lady’s role in the economy of salvation, and thus to deny her titles of Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces and using an entirely new term “Mother of the Faithful People” or “Mother of Believers,” Victor Manuel Fernandez’s Mater Populi Fidelis, November 4, 2025, rests upon two principal sources: Joseph Alois “Cardinal” Ratzinger’s 1996 personal note and the three times that Jorge Mario Bergoglio denied Our Lady ever was the Co-Redemptrix and must not referred as such now.

That is, Ratzinger and Bergoglio.

Those are the two sources.

Mater Fidelis Populi echoes the anti-Marian Jansenists at the Sorbonne in the 1690s who made warfare upon Venerable Mother Mary of Agreda and The Mystical City God according to the teaching of Our Lady herself, Three hundred thirty years may have elapsed since the dirty work of the Sorbonne, but its Jansenism burns brightly in the souls of the conciliar revolutionaries.

Part one of this two-part commentary focuses on Mater Populi Fidelis’s denial of the title of Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix. Part two, which will be published overnight, will focus on the document’s denial of Our Lady as Mediatrix of All Graces.

May Our Lord have mercy on us all!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Charles Borromeo, pray for us.

Saints Vitalis and Agricola, pray for us.

The American College of Physicians has seen fit to issue a set of “ethical guidelines” to remind physicians that their primary objective is to provide their patients with medical care, not the harvesting of their bodily organs.

This is all such utter sophistry as the fact that things have gone so far that doctors have to reminded that their primary duty is to heal their patients has been caused the medical industry’s adoption of the completely manufactured, profit-making myth of “brain death” precisely so as to make possible the vivisection of human beings. It is impossible for those who defy the Fifth Commandment to warn others who so that there must be some “limits” to their employment of what we know to be a myth in the hope of helping someone other than the patient who is being carved up.

The “limits” are as follows: Thou shalt not kill,” and the vivisection of human beings for their vital bodily organs is murder. Period.

Our Lady, Queen of All Saints, pray for us.

Saint Charles Borromeo, pray for us.

Saints Vitalis and Agricola, pray for us.

Our one and only goal in this life is to get home to Heaven by dying in a state of Sanctifying Grace as a member of the Catholic Church. Absolutely nothing else matters. The path to Heaven runs through the Cross of our Divine Redeemer, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, as we consecrate ourselves to Him totally through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of His Most Blessed Mother. We must embrace suffering and humiliation and hardship with equanimity, joy and gratitude, mindful of the fact that Our Lady desires use whatever merits we earn from our embrace of our sufferings for the honor and glory of the Most Blessed Trinity and for the good of souls, especially the Poor Souls in the Church Suffering in Purgatory, whose intentions we must remember every day and especially during this month of November. There is no other path to the triumph of the empty tomb other than the suffering of the Cross.

We must also forgive right readily those who have offended us in any way and to ask forgiveness from those whom we have offended, whether advertently or inadvertently. Nothing anyone does to us or says about us is the equal of what one of our least Venial Sins caused Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during his Passion and Death and that caused His Most Blessed Mother's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart to be pierced through and through with Seven Swords of Sorrow. The good, the bad and the ugly of ever person's life is revealed only on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the living and the dead. Let us be content to bear with suffering, humiliation, ostracism and mockery now as a means of so dying to self that we will consider it to be a great honor to be crushed and brought low in the sight of men. Suffering is indeed the path to triumph!

We must continue to pray for each other on a daily basis, praying especially that the disagreements of the present moment in this time of apostasy and betrayal will be washed away by the merits of the Most Precious Blood of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and by the maternal intercession of His Most Blessed Mother. If we want to be in Heaven for all eternity, you see, in the presence of the Most Blessed Trinity, Our Lady, Saint Joseph and all of the angels of the saints, then it is a pretty good idea to pray for everyone whom God's Providence has placed in our paths, hoping that those from whom we might be estranged at the present time, especially because of the divisions among Catholics created by conciliarism and its apostasies, will be united with us for all eternity in the glories of Heaven, please God that each of us dies in a state of Sanctifying Grace.

One of ways in which we can practice true Charity is to remember the Poor Souls every day in our prayers. Terrible, terrible sinner that I am, one of my devotions has long been to the Poor Souls. To help the Poor Souls repay the debt that they can no longer pay for themselves is to acquire friends for eternity who will help us at the moment of our own deaths. Charity to the Poor Souls can help to undo our own uncharity to others in this passing, mortal vale of tears. This is indeed the month of the Poor Souls. Let us show them our due attention each and every day of the year, especially in this month of November.

Remember, of course, that from noon yesterday, Sunday, November 2, 2025, through midnight today, Monday, November 3, 2025, the Commemoration of All Souls, the Catholic faithful, as often as they visit a church or to pray for the dead, reciting six times during each visit the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be for the intentions of Holy Mother Church may gain a plenary indulgence applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, under the usual conditions of making a good Confession within a week before or after, worthily receiving Holy Communion within the week and having the right intention of heart. This is called the Toties Quoties Indulgence.

Also, courtesy of the Daily Catholic website, are the Thirty-Day De Profundis Prayers for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.

Please pray for Sharon's niece (my own niece by marriage, obviously) whose baby died before his birth a few days before the expected delivery date. The baby was baptized. Please join with me in prayer to Our Lady our niece, husband, children, her parents, and siblings at this time, esepcially that she will be consoled by Our Lady's true maternal love and powerful intercession to bear this cross with love and courage and with the knowledge that Our Lady stands with her now as she did beneath the Holy Cross of her own Divine Son on Good Friday. 

Thank you very much.

Our Lady of Deliverance, pray for the Poor Souls and for us.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. 

May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

As you can see from the time stamp of this post, I have more than lost my “extra hour of sleep.”

However, I present to you this final commentary on Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV’s busy week of celebrating Nostra Aetate, October 28, 1965, by demonstrating that the hidden hand behind Prevost/Leo’s October 27, 2025, address to the leader of the Assyrian Church of the East (the Nestorians—a term the Nestorians despise because they do not believe that their boy was ever validly condemned at the Council of Ephesus) belongs to none other than the “restorer of tradition” himself, Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI.

A reminder: As the Commemoration of All Souls is transferred to tomorrow, Monday, November 3, 2025, because it cannot be observed on a Sunday, the Toties Quoties Indulgences start that from noon toxt Sunday, November 2, 2025, the Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost within the Octave of All Saints, through midnight of the Commemoration of All Souls tomorrow. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.
