      On this 88th Anniversary of the First Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima on May 13, 1917 and the universal Double Feast of the Holy Doctor of the Church, the esteemed Jesuit Cardinal Saint Robert Bellarmine, and the historic Traditional Feast of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Mary's Month of May, let us continue to pray daily the Leonine Prayer said at the end of every Latin Low Mass:
      Let us pray. O God, our refuge and our strength, look down in mercy on Thy people who cry to Thee; and by the intercession of the glorious and immaculate Virgin Mary Mother of God, of St. Joseph her spouse, of Thy blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the saints, in mercy and goodness hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners, and for the freedom and exaltation of our Holy Mother Church. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

      The Voters and editorial Board of The Daily Catholic have settled on five persons to be honored in this second annual presentation. Two of the Recipients are being awarded the Trophy posthumously with the Crimson Cross for though they did not die martyrs, they did not see the fulfillment of what they had sought - the freedom and exultation of Holy Mother Church for all of these brave heroes died on the battlefield of Tradition vs. Modernism. They will be long remembered as we honor our fallen stalwart pioneers who spurred the rest on to hold fast to Tradition.
       Three received enough votes to be elevated to the laity wing of the Hall of Honor. Respected Traditional Writers Solange Strong Hertz and Marian Therese Horvat become the first women to be inducted into the Tower of Trent Hall of Honor. This year they join another respected and prolific Traditional Writer Patrick Henry Omlor.
       Though we honor them all today, beginning next week we will honor one by one until all are completed in early June.

    Come to his assistance, ye saints of God, meet him, ye angels of the Lord, receiving his soul, offering it in the sight of the most High. V. May Christ, Who has called thee, receive thee and may the angels conduct thee into Abraham's bosom. R. Receiving his soul, offering it in the sight of the most High. V. Eternal rest give to him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. R. Offering it in the sight of the most High.


    We will keep you abreast of Funeral arrangements for this dedicated servant of Mary who stayed true to his ordination vows and to the Oath Against Modernism.

    Sad News out of New York...



           On the First Friday of the Month of Mary's May, May 6, the great pioneer of Tradition Reverend Doctor Gommar A. DePauw passed from this earth. His trials and tribulations, his battle against the false church at an end. Well, done, good and faithful servant. We offer our prayers and Holy Masses for the repose of the soul of this warrior for Our Lord and Our Lady, who following in the footsteps of the saints and Doctors of the Church, sought out the narrow path. That path leads to Heaven and we pray today he is in the presence of the Beatific Vision.

            We are saddened and the lesser by his passing. The Traditional Movement has lost a true giant, a true noble pioneer who forged the path for all those who followed. It is time to mourn and pray for the soul of a loyal priest of God. May his soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

            Born one year after the Fatima apparitions in Portugal, this Belgium-born soldier of Christ lived all his life the true message Our Lady imparted at the Cova. His chapel was named in her honor - Ave Maria. Tradition has truly lost a titan of the traditional movement. We mourn but will not be deterred. He has passed the baton and now the task rests with those resisting the revolution. Onward, Catholic soldiers. There is a war to win!


    Though there will be many tributes forthcoming to this founder of the Catholic Traditional Movement in 1963, we refer you to the tribute we prepared for our Tower of Trent Tribute this last May 25th in honoring Father DePauw, one of the charter 15 members of the Tower of Trent Hall of Honor.

    See Father Gommar A. DePauw.
    Taken from the Offertory for the Requiem Mass
    Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de poenis inferni et de profundo lacu: libera eas de ore leonis, ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum: sed signifer sanctus Michael repraesenter eas in lucem sanctam: * Quam olim Abrahae promisisti, et semini ejus.
    O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and from the deep pit: deliver them from the lion's mouth, that hell may not swallow them up, and may they not fall into darkness; may Thy holy standard-bearer Michael, lead them into the holy light; * which Thou didst promise to Abraham and to his seed.


    Living in Tradition
    On this Feast of the holy Doctor of the Universal Church, Saint Robert Bellarmine of the Society of Jesus, we present the Apostolic decree from the AAS 23, 433-438 in which His Holiness Pope Pius XI declared this holy Cardinal who so solidified the decrees of Trent, an official Doctor of the Church. It was Pius who both beatified and canonized St. Robert at the same time he decreed the sanctity of the holy North American Martyrs. In Pius' magnificent fairly short decree he lays out the great virtues and fruits produced by Cardinal Bellarmine and officially established his universal feast be observed as a Double Minor. Known for his great clarity (in comparisons to today's ambiguity and verbosity by Vatican II authorities), Pius clearly points out why St. Robert was so deserving in the Holy Father's decree from September 17, 1931 called Providentissimus Deus
    Gabriel's Clarion
    Because today is dedicated to the great Doctor of the Church Saint Robert Bellarmine and is the 88th Anniversary of the First Fatima Apparitions in which Our Lady called for Prayer in reparation for sins, Gabriel Garnica completes his short two-part series on "The Silent Sacrament" as he provides the reader the various types of prayer and their relative value, explaining the kinds of prayer and why. Then he wraps it all up in his conclusion which puts it all in perspective in the second and final installment on "The Silent Sacrament." He details in Part Two Levels of Prayer
    QUEEN OF THE MAY
    One of the traditional devotions during Mary's Month of May is The Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is an ancient prayer said by more than a few saints and was mandated by the holy St.Louis Marie de Montfort to those in his orders. It is a prayer said for each day of May. Along with this prayer there is another tradition that can be found in Fr. Lasance's book on Our Lady and that is to offer each day in May to the Blessed Virgin a different flower which corresponds to a particular virtue for each day. Today the flower is the Laurel blossom with the corresponding Virtue being Love of Duty. What a perfect day for this for it was duty to the Church and Christ's Vicar on earth that prompted St. Robert Bellarmine to become a Jesuit priest and then to utilize all his God-given talents for the greater honor and glory of God and His Holy Church. Likewise, Our Lady appeared near the Cova and a copse of trees where Laurel blossoms might be found and her message was to remind her children of our duty to pray and to obey her Divine Son. She instilled in the Fatima children and from them all mankind the importance of the Virtue of Love of Duty. We have a duty to spread and live all Our Lady imparted and which was officially approved as worthy of belief by Holy Mother Church. For this and the flowers and virtues thus far, as well as the special May devotion, see The Little Crown and Queen of the May
    NOVENA TO THE HOLY GHOST
    Today we continue with the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost, praying for the Gift of Wisdom. This is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian. To encourage devotion to the Holy Spirit, Holy Mother Church has enriched this novena with and indulgence of ten years on any day of the novena with a plenary indulgence if one participates in at least five exercises and moreover go to confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the proper intentions. Accompanying each day is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Today is Eighth Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost
    White Smoke, Black Fire!
    The Resistance counters as the principals take shape. Time is of the essence as the tension mounts in the Twelfth Book - The Shedding. We encourage readers hooked on "White Smoke, Black Fire!" to concentrate on the similarities in this novel - first written in 1986 for these very times - with actual events happening right now. Having just tightened and updated this novel in 2005, readers can catch up on the daily installments they might have missed by going to the Installment Index. In today's episode Stephen's bizarre plan is put into action thanks to the generous cooperation of Australian media mogul Colin Rembert and the marshalling by Cardinal Gregory Zachmunn. It is the Iron Horse which will carry the explosive cargo away from the Holy See as Gregory and loyal Swiss Guards make the switch with the triggered papal bier and the coffin of fallen guard Captain Riage Benziger while on the other side of the Tiber Corrie attempts to escape while her captor is involved with other matters in the entrails of the Pantheon in preparing for a Satanic Black Mass in the sixth episode in the Twelfth Chapter in Part V The Shedding: Bait and Switch
    2005 IgNOMinious gNOMe Awards
    The Second Annual igNOMinious gNOMe Awards have been presented for 2005. As we have said before, these offenders need to be exposed and shamed for the sake of their own souls and to warn others that there behavior, their guidance can be harmful to souls. Unfortunately too many have become immune to what these ignominious ones do and say and think they're right and those clinging to the Truths and Traditions are way out in left field with conspiracy theories that make no sense. Let them think that as they read Matthew 7: 20, "By their fruits you shall know them." Thus we provide evidence of this lack of fruits with the full list of igNOMinious recipients of the 2005 gNOMe Awards
    Thursday
    Fiat Voluntas Dei
    With Pentecost practically here and tomorrow's recognition of the 88th Anniversary of the First Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, it is important for us all to carry on the Church Militant's role in upholding, defending and spreading the True Faith. Thus, Timothy Duff, who has taught Traditional Catholicism for decades and is also a consummate expert on Venerable Mary Agreda's masterful work Mystical City of God, provides a primer on how to help our friends trapped in the Novus Ordo establishment to see the truths of the True Mass, the True Faith and to better understand why the New Order 'Mass' is not from Christ nor from the Church He established! It is not Catholic! The title of this article seems obvious enough, does it not? What Catholic could be found who would not agree that the Church is not above Christ? Yet the belief that the Catholic Church has more authority than Jesus Christ Himself is actually the very core of the error of those who attend the Novus Ordo Missae or "New Order Mass" (NOM). It is a sacred duty of charity for those whom the Sacred Heart of Jesus has mercifully called to attend exclusively the Traditional Latin Mass to desire the same grace for others. That is why Tim shares this "how to explain why" to help our friends truly understand Catholic truth as he explains so clearly in his magnificent essay The Church is Not Above Christ
    QUEEN OF THE MAY
    One of the traditional devotions during Mary's Month of May is The Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is an ancient prayer said by more than a few saints and was mandated by the holy St.Louis Marie de Montfort to those in his orders.

Lasance's book on Our Lady and that is to offer each day in May to the Blessed Virgin a different flower which corresponds to a particular virtue for each day. Today the flower is the Heath-Flower with the corresponding Virtue being Recollection. The Heath-Flower comes from the Greek genus Epacris - meaning "upon the hill" where it grows. Many believe they sprouted on Calvary but this has not been proven in such climes. Yet, it would be appropriate for the Virtue of Recollection is centered on the Sacrifice of Christ upon Golgotha where His Blessed Mother stood faithfully to the end. So also are we able to stand with her through recollection of the Mysteries of the Cross. For this and the flowers and virtues thus far, as well as the special May devotion, see The Little Crown and Queen of the May
    White Smoke, Black Fire!
    The close calls have been plenty as the Legion rears back on its heals ready to strike. But the Resistance will not take it lying down. That we can see as the strategy unfolds in the Fifth Book - The Shedding. We encourage readers hooked on "White Smoke, Black Fire!" to concentrate on the similarities in this novel - first written in 1986 for these very times - with actual events happening right now. Having just tightened and updated this novel in 2005, readers can catch up on the daily installments they might have missed by going to the Installment Index. In today's episode of the novel Cardinal Gregory Zachmunn initiates Stephen's bizarre plan to extract the weapons of mass destruction while Dr. Makuta Ogidi re-emerges in disguise to save Monsignor Navarro from certain detection. After a change of costume, he is off again to prevent more disasters as Pat reaches the Papal Quarters through the secret tunnel from Castel Sant'Angelo. Reinforcements are on their way to the weakened Pontiff Clement XV as Blix and his entourage, including his hostage Corrie, arrive at the Vatican in the fifth episode in the Twelfth Chapter in Part V The Shedding: Something wicked this way comes!
    NOVENA TO THE HOLY GHOST
    Today we continue with the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost, praying for the Gift of Counsel. This is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian. To encourage devotion to the Holy Spirit, Holy Mother Church has enriched this novena with and indulgence of ten years on any day of the novena with a plenary indulgence if one participates in at least five exercises and moreover go to confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the proper intentions. Accompanying each day is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Today is Seventh Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost

Lasance's book on Our Lady and that is to offer each day in May to the Blessed Virgin a different flower which corresponds to a particular virtue for each day. Today the flower is the beautiful pink rose with the corresponding Virtue being Prayer. How appropriate that outside of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the most efficacious prayer is Mary's Holy Rosary. The pink rose so magnificently expresses Our Lady's true femininity and divine motherhood. Her Rosary which she herself bestowed to St. Dominic is a spiritual bouquet of roses we can offer daily to Heaven, a spiritual bouquet built upon the ancient prayers of the Psalter - 150 decades for the 150 Psalms of David. For this and the flowers and virtues thus far, as well as the special May devotion, see The Little Crown and Queen of the May
    Gabriel's Clarion
    Because today is dedicated to Prayer (above) Gabriel Garnica takes a break from his on-going series on the Catholic Identity Crisis in the USA to bring readers a magnificent essay on Prayer in which he examines in a two-part essay, the many kinds and levels of prayer that incorporate the essence of the saints and what Holy Mother Church asks in expressing adoration, repentance, thanksgiving and petition to God Almighty. Nothing is more important than our communication with the very One Who created us, Who without we would be nothing - literally nothing. Gabriel explains in the first of two parts on "The Silent Sacrament" to be completed this Friday on the occasion of the 88th Anniversary of the First Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima The Many Faces of Prayer
    White Smoke, Black Fire!
    While we slow the roller coaster down somewhat, there are more curves ahead so buckle in tight as the thrill ride continues in the Fifth Book - The Shedding. We encourage readers hooked on "White Smoke, Black Fire!" to concentrate on the similarities in this novel - first written in 1986 for these very times - with actual events happening right now. Having just tightened and updated this novel in 2005, readers can catch up on the daily installments they might have missed by going to the Installment Index. In today's pivotal episode of the novel to date the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered at opposite ends of the Hadrian Wall at dawn on the day of the funerals and Conclave. The weakened Pope receives Holy Communion from Niki, but Pat deferring to receive at a later time bears a tremendous significance not yet revealed. As the Legion plots further in Macelli's office, Blix's private jet lands at Rome's Fiumicino Airport with Corrie in tow and Soto at the ready to chauffeur them all into the City of Seven Hills in the fourth episode that begins the Twelfth Chapter in Part V The Shedding: Introibo ad altare Dei
    NOVENA TO THE HOLY GHOST
    Today we continue with the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost, praying for the Gift of Understanding. This is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian. To encourage devotion to the Holy Spirit, Holy Mother Church has enriched this novena with and indulgence of ten years on any day of the novena with a plenary indulgence if one participates in at least five exercises and moreover go to confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the proper intentions.

    THE STRAIGHT STUFF
    As has been established, Griff Ruby is well-known for taking on tough subjects and not shying away from controversy. Today, he harkens back to the volatile atmosphere just before John Paul II's death. That was the terrible tragedy of Terri Schindler Schiavo being starved to death. Griff points out that it was the media who poisoned minds, not only the mass public, but the judicial, political and medical establishments as well with monstrous lies spewed by the Media Medusa. But after doing its damage the monster moved on for the media soon dropped any mention of Terri because the deed was done, she was no longer news. Little did the public realize there had not been closure for the monstrous lie the Media Medusa created is still a monstrous lie, ever more poisonous the longer it festers,and it is these serpentine media lies that evidently even the elect, such as two Traditional stalwarts, had unfortunately bought into. Griff takes Bishop Donald Sanborn and Father Anthony Cekada to task for buying the media lies to state their case as to Catholic teaching. Yes, the teaching is correct, but the circumstances are askewed which further poisons the perspective and, consequently, the resolution. Griff explains in his essay A Postscript to the Terri Schiavo case
    Christ or chaos
    Today's issue indeed focuses on the Terri Schlindler-Schiavo story as Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey also wrote very recently. Needlessly, debates have continued to rage about the murder of Mrs. Theresa Marie Schindler-Schiavo by the thirteen day ordeal of starvation and dehydration that was imposed upon her by Florida probate Judge George Greer. There is nothing to debate. The Fifth Commandment forbids the taking of any action that has as its only end the death of an innocent human being. Removing food and water, no matter how they are administered, from a living human being can only result in death, which can never be directly willed in the case of one guilty of no crime. No application of the standards associated with "extraordinary medical care" was relevant to Mrs. Schiavo's case. The provision of food and water is not extraordinary care. Tom explains in his column No Debate at All!

    While we slow the roller coaster down somewhat, there are more curves ahead so buckle in tight as the thrill ride continues in the Fifth Book - The Shedding. We encourage readers hooked on "White Smoke, Black Fire!" to concentrate on the similarities in this novel - first written in 1986 for these very times - with actual events happening right now. Having just tightened and updated this novel in 2005, readers can catch up on the daily installments they might have missed by going to the Installment Index. In today's episode, Pat and Niki reach the vicinity of Castel Sant'Angelo only to realize there is no way in - sealed tighter than a drum - but where there's a will there's a way. If you can't go through, go under. They use the Legion's own weapon to their advantage in submarining into the old castle while Monsignor Navarro turns the Penultimate into a literal a life-saving device with Dr. Ghisleiri arriving on the scene to administer to a much-weakened Cardinal Gregory Zachmunn in the subterranean passageway just off the Papal Sacristy. Macelli discovers Zachmunn missing from his room. The Legion is hunting him. Will they find him? As the cardinal recoups and Sister Bridie takes refuge in the Papal Quarters, the true Pope lays unconscious in a turret room in the ramparts of the castle. Will Pat and Niki find him? The answers lie within the third episode of the Eleventh Chapter with Part V The Shedding: Emergency Entrances
    NOVENA TO THE HOLY GHOST
    Today we continue with the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost, praying for the Gift of Knowledge. This is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost.

    QUEEN OF THE MAY
    One of the traditional devotions during Mary's Month of May is The Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is an ancient prayer said by more than a few saints and was mandated by the holy St.Louis Marie de Montfort to those in his orders. It is a prayer said for each day of May. Along with this prayer there is another tradition that can be found in Fr. Lasance's book on Our Lady and that is to offer each day in May to the Blessed Virgin a different flower which corresponds to a particular virtue for each day. Today the flower is the delicate Jasmine with the corresponding Virtue being Sweetness. Appropriately it is the Feast Day of Saint Antoninius who sought to extinguish the noxious fumes of the false Renaissance of pagan classicism with the love of truth in encouraging his flock to study and do penance whereby the sweetness of the fragrance of truth - like the fragrant white or yellow Jasmine, employed to flavor tea or in perfume, emanated through in saving souls for the Lord for Antoninius realized how delicate souls were and, in sanctifying grace, how fragrant they were to Heaven.As the Epistle of the Day from Ecclesiasticus 14: 20 states, "to offer Him a worthy incense for an odor of sweetness."

    Monday
    Gabriel's Clarion
    Gabriel Garnica continues his series on the Catholic Identity Crisis in the USA. Today he expands on the second situation he posed in Part Three on Technology and Choice. That would be the separation of Church and State. As confusing as that one is, what is more confusing to American Catholics is the whole concept of plurality. The French Philosopher and Mathmatician Blaise Pascal stated in the 17th century, that "Plurality which is not reduced to unity is confusion." He failed to mention that confusion will always reign, and like a domino effect, society will fall when God is missing as the main and central component of every equation. That is also why there can be no 'Separation of Church and State,' for once the viper's tail causes the dominoes to collapse, souls are helpless to fend off the inevitable. The serpent's fangs are deadly. The only anti-dote to the E Pluribus Venom is complete adherence to the True Faith founded by Jesus Christ. Plurality cannot stand for God has no equal. Gabriel details and exposes the four myths of "From many, one" for Catholicism is a theocracy, not a democracy as he explains in Part Five E Pluribus Venom
    White Smoke, Black Fire!
    Strap yourselves in for the roller coaster continues in the Fifth Book - The Shedding as the action moves fast and furious on three levels of the great St. Peter's Basilica. We encourage readers hooked on "White Smoke, Black Fire!" to concentrate on the similarities in this novel - first written in 1986 for these very times - with actual events happening right now. Having just tightened and updated this novel in 2005, readers can catch up on the daily installments they might have missed by going to the Installment Index. In today's episode, - from the roof of St. Peter's dome where Pat and Niki struggle to escape from the roof of St. Peter's dome as the pursuing Legion guards give chase while in the sanctuary below the Legion completes their sinister planting of explosives while cleaning up the Legion members who had plummeted to their deaths from the cupola above in the skirmish with Gallagher and Fr. Niki, who now are frantically trying to stay a step ahead of their pursuers. Thanks to a few more secret doors, they can. And speaking of secrets, in the subterranean passageways beneath the masterful basilica and beyond Cardinal Zachmunn remembers what his old friend Luigi confided as he leads Monsignor Stephen Navarro and Sister Bridie away from the Legion, climbing in the dark toward safe harbor. But will the Cardinal's heart hold out? More surprizes are in store in the second episode of the Eleventh Chapter with Part V The Shedding: Open Sesame!
    NOVENA TO THE HOLY GHOST
    Today we continue with the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost, praying for the Gift of Fortitude. This is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian. To encourage devotion to the Holy Spirit, Holy Mother Church has enriched this novena with and indulgence of ten years on any day of the novena with a plenary indulgence if one participates in at least five exercises and moreover go to confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the proper intentions. Accompanying each day is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Today is Fourth Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost
    QUEEN OF THE MAY
    One of the traditional devotions during Mary's Month of May is The Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is an ancient prayer said by more than a few saints and was mandated by the holy St.Louis Marie de Montfort to those in his orders. It is a prayer said for each day of May. Along with this prayer there is another tradition that can be found in Fr. Lasance's book on Our Lady and that is to offer each day in May to the Blessed Virgin a different flower which corresponds to a particular virtue for each day. Today the flower is the majestic Mignonette with the corresponding Virtue being the Practice of Hidden Virtues. Appropriately it is the Feast Day of Saint Gregory Nazianzen, the holy Bishop and Doctor of the Church who was a vaunted defender of the Faith against the Arian heresy and practiced the Hidden Virtues in winning souls to the True Faith.

    SUNDAY
    "Qui legit, intelligat"
    In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Sunday Within the Octave of the Ascension, he offers tribute to all mothers and reminds everyone that the greatest gift you can give to your mother is to pray for her by remembering her at every True Mass. Nothing pleases God more. It also pleases our Heavenly Mother who has, like a loving mother, tried to help her children only to be rebuked, forgotten or, as we've seen with the Fatima messages, her words manipulated to suit man's ecumaniacal agenda. Yet, like a mother scorned she does not reject her children in her tears, but loves ever more tenderly with her Immaculate Heart. But love means sacrifice and she asks us to heed the words of Divine Revelation and realize there is a price to pay for salvation. In this age of instant gratification, the penance of self-mortification is the toner to keep the muscles of our heart and soul firm. If we give in to the novelty and whims of the man-made New Order and place worldly things above spiritual, then we become flabby and are easy prey to the mortal cramps of conscience which will surely trip us up on the path to Heaven. It will leave us crippled, to be scraped up by satan and discarded in hell. Father encourages us to turn to our Blessed Mother for protection and then follow the logical, common sense - the salvific words of St. Augustine. Father explains in his sermon "The strength that God furnishes"

    Strap yourselves in for the roller coaster begins with the Fifth Book - The Shedding as the action heats up in, under, over and around the Vatican. We encourage readers hooked on "White Smoke, Black Fire!" to concentrate on the similarities in this novel - first written in 1986 for these very times - with actual events happening right now. Having just tightened and updated this novel in 2005, readers can catch up on the daily installments they might have missed by going to the Installment Index. In today's episode, the Resistance rallies while the Legion rails. The Velcro holds just long enough for Pat to escape certain death once again as he teams up once more with Niki and Dr. Ogidi. Soon Pat and Niki are brailing their way up a narrow, dark, steep ascending tunnel within St. Peter's. Out on the roof of the Bernini Column Dionis' body is retrieved by the Legion with the principals fuming over how the resisters could have vanished. But they are in their midst with Monsignor Navarro, Cardinal Zachmunn and Sister Bridie in the Crypt below and Pat and Niki ending their journey on the cupola within the great basilica above the main altar. Explosive, cliff-hanging action ensues. With the Legion guards squeezing them in, will it be the end of their journey? Will Stephen, Gregory and Sister be discovered by the guard depositing explosives in the crypt? The answers lie within the first episode of the Eleventh Chapter with Part V The Shedding: Wake the Angels!
    NOVENA TO THE HOLY GHOST
    Today we continue with the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost, praying for the Gift of Piety. This is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian. To encourage devotion to the Holy Spirit, Holy Mother Church has enriched this novena with and indulgence of ten years on any day of the novena with a plenary indulgence if one participates in at least five exercises and moreover go to confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the proper intentions. Accompanying each day is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Today is Third Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost
    QUEEN OF THE MAY
    One of the traditional devotions during Mary's Month of May is The Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is an ancient prayer said by more than a few saints and was mandated by the holy St.Louis Marie de Montfort to those in his orders. It is a prayer said for each day of May. Along with this prayer there is another tradition that can be found in Fr. Lasance's book on Our Lady and that is to offer each day in May to the Blessed Virgin a different flower which corresponds to a particular virtue for each day. Today the flower is the Iris with the Virtue being Faith. The Iris springs forward in the Spring, appropriately corresponding the one who leads the charge for Faith - the holy warrior St. Michael. The devotion can be found in The Little Crown and Queen of the May

    Gabriel's Clarion
    Gabriel Garnica continues his series on the Catholic Identity Crisis in the USA. Today he expands on the first situation he posed in Part Three on Technology and Choice. Nowhere is technology more advanced than the amazing 4D ultrasound. The sonogram can be the boon for the sanctity of life and a death-knell for the pro-aborts. Gabriel shows how those who perniciously continue the culture of death will fight the obvious because they are not sincere and will seek every means and twist every truth to fit their warped logic which can only come from the evil one. That is why they equate Catholic teaching with the Dark Ages because they have not been enlightened by the True Light but the Luciferian light which blinds men's hearts. Gabriel explains in Part Four Who Still Wants To Be in The Dark Ages?
    NOVENA TO THE HOLY GHOST
    Today we continue with the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost. It is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian. To encourage devotion to the Holy Spirit, Holy Mother Church has enriched this novena with and indulgence of ten years on any day of the novena with a plenary indulgence if one participates in at least five exercises and moreover go to confession, receive Holy Communion and pray for the proper intentions. Accompanying each day is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Today is Second Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost
    QUEEN OF THE MAY

Lasance's book on Our Lady and that is to offer each day in May to the Blessed Virgin a different flower which corresponds to a particular virtue for each day.

    White Smoke, Black Fire!
    We encourage readers hooked on "White Smoke, Black Fire!" to concentrate on the similarities in this novel - first written in 1986 for these very times - with actual events happening right now. Having just tightened and updated this novel in 2005, readers can catch up on the daily installments they might have missed by going to the Installment Index. In today's episode, the Legion of the Basilisk moves in as Grabe enters the infirmary to destroy Pat while Monsignor Stephen Navarro scrambles to free Sister Bridie from the ropes that bind her in the basement of the Apostolic Palace. In rummaging for a sharp piece among the shards of the shattered statue Macelli had pushed in anger, Stephen discovers an old sealed envelope with a special wax seal on it which he tucks within his cassock in their haste to escape. But alas could it be too late? They freeze as the elevator doors open, while above in the infirmary Pat just eludes Grabe's wrath at the expense of an unsuspecting tertiary nurse and flees through the window out onto the ledge and races for his life across the northern roof of the Bernini Colonnade until he runs out of room. With the guards in hot pursuit is it curtains for Pat? The answers can be found in the eleventh episode as we complete Part IV, the Ninth Chapter The Shrouding: Out on the Ledge

    NOVENA TO THE HOLY GHOST
    Today begins the Novena to the Holy Ghost preceding the Feast of Pentecost. It is one of the oldest novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Ghost on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church.

Accompanying each day is the Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Today is First Day of the Novena to the Holy Ghost
    QUEEN OF THE MAY
    One of the traditional devotions during Mary's Month of May is The Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is an ancient prayer said by more than a few saints and was mandated by the holy St.Louis Marie de Montfort to those in his orders. It is a prayer said for each day of May. Along with this prayer there is another tradition that can be found in Fr. Lasance's book on Our Lady and that is to offer each day in May to the Blessed Virgin a different flower which corresponds to a particular virtue for each day. Already we have had the Lily for Purity on May 1, the Rose representing Love of God on May 2, a Myosotis represents Thanksgiving on May 3, a Pansy assimilates Thought of Heaven for May 4, and May 5 calls for the delicate blossom of the Marguerite to signify Simplicity. Today the flower is the Violet. So appropriate on this Feast of St. John Before the Latin Gate since he was no shrinking violet but practiced at all times Humility. The devotion can be found in The Little Crown and Queen of the May

Having just tightened and updated this novel in 2005, readers can catch up on the daily installments they might have missed by going to the Installment Index. In today's episode, a gut hunch prompts Ben to act before he was supposed to. It pays off when he discovers the sabotage planned. It is too late for Vic, but what about Vic's fellow workers at the Metroplex Mirror? While the Legion searches for Pat inside the Vatican, explosions rip the Dallas skyline with Edwin Blix gloating from the sky. But shortly Blix's in-flight triumph turns sour while in Rome Sr. Bridie, pumped with truth serum, helplessly reveals Pat's whereabouts in the tenth episode of Part IV, the Ninth Chapter The Shrouding: Angels of Mercy
    ASCENSION THURSDAY
    "Qui legit, intelligat"
    In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Solemnity of the Double of the First Class Feast of the ASCENSION OF OUR LORD, he points out that all we believe in is being undermined, slowly the enemy within is allowing the foundations to be eroded by historically conditioning the scriptures. Rather than accept them literally as we must do, there are those who have risen within the church to the highest echelon - now the highest - who has proposed in his own inimitable way that truth is relative, this launched in the defense of a heretic from a century ago - Antonio Rosmini - in which, as reported and documented, the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith championed lifting the condemnation because they were "historically conditioned" and therein lays the very problem Vatican II and its periti introduced in destroying not only the very foundations of Catholicism but all of Christendom. The great battle of the end times has begun and were in the midst of it right now. The general we should be looking to for direction and to lead us is the very one who has continually promoted this thinking that truth is relative. None other than Benedict XVI. Father documents this and wonders if in the future we will have feasts to celebrate all that Christ did if they are debunked by those out to destroy and deceive. He explains brilliantly in his sermon for Ascension Thursday. He is Truly Risen, and Ascended

Blix's evil manifests itself ever mroeso as he commands explosives be planted at his own Metroplex Mirror building as he prepares to leave it all behind in rubble. Meanwhile in Rome, Broadcaster and media mogul Colin Rembert puts the New Zealand Cardinal on the hot seat and across town Niki has a dream which was more like a vision. What does it portend? Some of these are revealed in the ninth episode of Part IV, the Ninth Chapter The Shrouding: Basileus vs. Basiliskos

    Gabriel's Clarion
    Gabriel Garnica continues his series his series on the Catholic Identity Crisis in the USA. Today he poses six situations which can be be seen one way from a liberal point a view and a totally different view when seen in the true light. He shows the gamesmanship of how the liberals try to dress something up as if it is when it isn't or that it isn't when it is. He offers the gameshow of the 50's What's My Line? as the model and realizes if this were asked of today's liberals they wouldn't really want you to know their line even though they blind themselves to the truths and expect to lead others. Ridiculous? It's even more bizarre as Gabriel shows in Part Three What's My Line?

In the aftermath of the General Congregation in Rome, Corrie searches for direction in a quiet Dallas church after Ben's phone call as more in unveiled in the eighth episode of Part IV, the Ninth Chapter The Shrouding: The Gambit of Fianchetto and Zugzwang

    Mass Confusion
    As a follow-up to what Father Louis Campbell originally brought up in his sermon A Kingdom Brought To Desolation and Pope Pius XII's Sacramentum Ordinis, we bring you a short essay by Father Kevin Vaillancourt, editor of the Traditional publication The Catholic Voice who has given us personal permission to reprint his article from many years ago on the very subject of the questioning of the validity of the Sacrament of Ordination which Paul VI changed. Father reinforces that what Pius XII decreed has been omitted in the new rite of ordination and thus throwing so much into mass confusion with the conciliar church. Father Kevin shows the correct words of the long established traditional rite of Ordination. We bring you his essay which we have titled "Father" or Not "Father"?

In today's episode, Cardinal Gregory Zachmunn continues to scope out the voting blocs in anticipation of the impending General Assembly while in the Secretary of State's offices, Cardinals Macelli and Vendhem host those already compromised, overconfident in thinking they have enough votes to push through the call to admit the 40 preconium prelates. Meanwhile Niki and Dr. Ogidi sneak into a warehouse near the Colosseum to get a better bead on what Serrano and Brunatti are up to while in Dallas it is high noon. Vic knows the showdown is inevitable, and confides in Ben O'Fallon at his Dallas pub what Van Wess must do to stop the Legion: Go into the Viper's den in Turtle Creek to confront Blix in the seventh episode of Part IV, the Eighth Chapter The Shrouding: Point of No Return
    Monday
    Gabriel's Clarion
    Gabriel Garnica picks up where he left off on Saturday with the second installment of his series on the Catholic Identity Crisis. One of the biggest problems confronting Catholics and causing confusion is when Catholics try to apply American principles to their faith. The Church is not a democracy and the whole basis "Of, By and For the People" is foreign to Catholic Doctrine for the Faith exists Of, By and For God - specifically Three Persons in One - Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Any religion that does not adhere to that is not of, by or for God but rather governed by his adversary who rejected all graces when he and his legions of fallen angels stated defiantly Non serviam. Gabriel explains in his second part of his multi-part series in which he identifies why there is a Catholic Identity Crisis in the USA with Part Two "Of the People, By the People, and For the People"?

Having just tightened and updated this novel in 2005, readers can catch up on the daily installments they might have missed by going to the Installment Index. In today's episode, Cardinal Zachmunn's strategy to avert the possibility of 40 unworthy bishops being recognized as preconized goes into full force while Stephen is surprised by two Swiss Guards as the plot thickens with Cardinal Zachmunn countering the Legion. Riage Benziger will not have died in vain and lobbying begins in earnest as enemies form within the ranks of the Cardinals and Gregory seeks to identify and isolate them in the sixth episode of Part IV, the Eighth Chapter The Shrouding: Loose and Lobby
    SUNDAY
    "Qui legit, intelligat"
    In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Solemnity of the Double of the First Class Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker, which this year supersedes the Fifth Sunday After Easter, he points out the importance and link with Saint Joseph who was named after the Son of Jacob's Joseph of the Tribe of Israel. In paralleling the plague-wrought times of the Old Testament Joseph, he assimilates the very troubling times of spiritual plague and crisis Catholics are experiencing today thanks to the conciliar church. In refuting John Paul II's daring "Be not afraid" mantra, Father points out that every God-fearing person should be very afraid for no matter what ecumaniacs may tell you, each person will have to account before the Lord for each and every thing they have done. Few there are who would be so overconfident that they'll escape the justice of God and not have to make amends before being totally cleansed to be eligible to be admitted into the presence of the Beatific Vision. That is why past reliable Catholic popes and saints have advised souls to go to good St. Joseph for his intercession is great in Heaven. We have to work at it, but who better to emulate than he whose work ethic and love were beyond reproach. How appropriate this year that his feast leads into Rogation Days when we call upon God and His Saints for protection. Truly we ask St. Joseph and the Saints to preserve us as Father explains in his sermon "Go to Joseph and do what he tells you"

In today's episode, Monsignor Stephen Navarro stores Captain Benziger's body in the utility room, hoping the deoderant cakes will last while he returns to the Sistine to delve further into the tracking ability of the "Penultimate." Is it a spy weapon the Legion is using against him? Can Colin Rembert be trusted or is he with the Legion of the Basilisk? In the Sistine he is able to catch up to Cardinal Zachmunn in order to finally confide to his mentor the dangers lurking about. The St. Louis Archbishop discloses why it has come to this at this time and entrusts Stephen with a special packet of vital letters. As the day wanes on Pat is recovering in the Vatican Infirmary where he discovers where Pope Clement XV has been taken. while three floors below Sr. Bridie bravely withstands torture by the Legion to the mounting consternation of Legion ne'r-do-wells Macelli and Grabe in the fifth episode of Part IV, the Eighth Chapter The Shrouding: Omens and Ogres

       There are several sources we strongly encourage you to follow so that one can get a true picture of what the traditions should be during this time of transition and questions. One is the regular news wire we carry below from a fairly closely related Traditional Catholic perspective from AngelQueen.org. In the face of so much fawning and false information from the secular media and especially the Novus Ordo media, Fr. Moderator's daily commentaries are a must to understand what is really going on. We encourage you to go to Traditio.com for he is usually on top of whatever event has come down the pike and calls them pretty much as we see them here at The Daily Catholic in striving to uphold and preserve the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church as part of the Resistance to the Revolution of Vatican II, especially during this time when so much misinformation is flooding into homes as fact and the Novus Ordo mentality and novelties will be ingrained in so many.

    From a Traditional Catholic Perspective

    LATEST HEADLINES from ANGELQUEEN.ORG
     

      

       Like Fox News, The Daily Catholic seeks to provide a fair and balanced perspective on modern Rome always from a Traditional point of view. There are traditional Catholics who believe Ratzinger is a legitimate successor of St. Peter. Their views need to be heard. There are also traditional Catholics who believe he is not a true Pope in light of the heresies of Vatican II and his own complicity in the conciliar church, and have documented such. Their views also definitely need to be heard. Therefore, The Daily Catholic from this point on will provide both views for the discernment of readers for these are very, very critical times - indeed, a time of epikea - the likes of which have never afflicted the Church as it is today. We are all fighting a common enemy and need to be united as Traditional Catholics. We are the Church Militant and in all charity, need to speak out when wrong is being done. The Church is not above Christ. The greatest criteria for our own salvation is being fully Catholic in every way. That means not veering one iota from what Holy Mother Church has always taught. Not one iota! We must cling to the Faith handed down by the Apostles in Divine Revelation and Divine Tradition, reinforced and codified, often with the power of perpetuity by popes, many holy ones, down through the ages. When those infrangible truths are tampered with, we will not stand still and let the marauders have their way. The Church is not a democracy, does not sway with political correctness, polls, public opinion or the times. True authentic Catholics will always confront the barbarians both at the gate and inside the gate, having as their allies our Lord Jesus Christ, His most Blessed Mother, the Primacy of Peter, and all His angels and His saints.


    Let Benedict XVI know what he must do to return to the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church at

      In a show of "openness," Benedict XVI is encouraging Catholics to e-mail him and this is your chance to remind him of the Catholic truths that have been abandoned by the church of Vatican II and also the fact that the Immemorial Mass of All Ages - the Traditional Latin Mass said from Peter through Pius XII is at the heart of reform in rebuilding Christ's Church. He can be another St. Benedict in uncompromisingly converting souls to the Faith or he can be a Benedict Arnold in betraying Christ and the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Faith. Here's your chance to speak directly with the new pope. Pounce on it by e-mailing him at benedictxvi@vatican.va


      One way to contact him directly is to either send a copy of the Open Letter from Michael Matt and Christopher Ferrara below or reinforce certain points they have brought up. Either way, if you remain silent, you have no one to blame but yourself when God asks "What did you do to rebuild My Church?" Again, we can't reiterate strongly enough: Countless souls are at stake!

      Christopher FerraraMichael MattThe Remnant's Christopher Ferrara and Michael Matt Implore Benedict XVI to Do the Right Thing
      In the aftermath of their personal coverage in Rome during the conclave, Remnant editor Michael Matt and columnist Christopher Ferrara weigh in with an Open Letter imploring Joseph Ratzinger, now Benedict XVI to alter the course of history and turn away from the destructive path of Vatican II and return to the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church. They express how many times they had hoped previous conciliar popes were going to do the same only to disappoint greatly. Can Benedict XVI make a difference? Time will tell, but they respectfully lay out the problems and the solutions, magnificently researched, and use the very words Ratzinger as a cardinal expressed in pleading with him to back up what he has said. Will it work? Time will tell, but they have presented an excellent argument that puts the ball squarely in Benedict's court. If he does not respond, does not exhibit the sensitivity he himself expressed, we will know it is all smoke and mirrors. Though lengthy, it is an excellent argument for Tradition in persuading him to abandon the novelties of the Novus Ordo, Ecumenism and Dialogue. They detail it all in their An Open Letter From Traditional Catholics


      When it comes to all these ungodly laws being passed by liberal judges because of the lobbying and intimidation of a small minority out to do away with the natural and supernatural order, it is wise to keep in mind the following:

    PAPAL PROOF OF WHAT THE CHURCH TRULY TEACHES
      For those who truly want to delve deeper into what the Faith teaches and what past Sovereign Pontiffs have decreed, we recommend for your vital reading to better KNOW THE FAITH in order to KEEP THE FAITH, pertinent Papal decrees which put to the lie what is being promulgated today by the Vatican II church. We strongly encourage you to read these to understand how today the modern church is in Apostasy when compared to what had always been taught by Holy Mother Church and enforced and warned as most grievous by previous Pontiffs as you'll see in CREDO & CULTURE

       With Lent in the rear view mirror, almsgiving was down this year and with events where March roared out like a lion and hasn't let up in April, we don't need to tell you that almsgiving is one way Catholics can show their sincerity and commitment to Tradition. Our Lord sheds tears because so many souls still do not know the Truth and are wallowing in the desert of desertion, devastation and destruction. Right now they are being dumbed-down further and propagandized by the New Order with every secular media leeching on to the love train that cannot see the emperor wore no clothes. Because of that the light of Tradition grows dimmer as the weather patterns and natural disasters grow stronger. With your donations to The Daily Catholic and Our Lady's intercession, you can help to save souls, brighten the path to Tradition, and dry a tear or two from Jesus' holy face, lest those of you, who have the Truth and have been blessed with the means to help, might have to try to explain your selfishness at your Particular Judgment. Think and pray over it as we ask you to remember this apostolate for charitable giving during this time when the dollar is stretched tight with donations to help the victims of the devastations in Indonesia, which must take priority. But if you have anything left over, we greatly appreciate any donation you can make for almsgiving is one of the commandments of the Church. We count on the generosity of our readers to keep up the integrity of this publication and keep it free of all advertising and banners in providing our readers worldwide with the foundations for the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church. If you can give of your love and bounty we would be most grateful.
