We are sad to announce that another valiant traditional priest Father Lawrence Severinus Brey passed away Sunday evening in St. Cloud, Minnesota at a rest home there where he resided for the past two years. The noted traditional author of The Robber Church and Tower of Trent luminary Patrick Henry Omlor wrote that he "suffered much from chronic leg trouble, which ultimately resulted in infection and inflammation that required daily treatment of cleansing and re-bandaging. Eventually he was unable to walk. Coupled with this disability was a cancerous spot on his tongue that was successfully removed. Because of these sufferings towards the end of his mortal life we can surely ope that his Purgatory has been shortened. He was a valiant spokesman for the Catholic faith...an intrepid opponent to Modernist priests, and by his logic and zeal would send them away shame-faced, squelched by his arguments. They had never before dealt with such erudition...A brilliant and trenchant writer, he authored pamphlets and larger works in defense of the Faith against heretics and apostates...A new era of darkness into the world, the enemies were well into their maneuvers of the total destruction of the Church and the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, while Father Brey, a faithful apostle of Christ, and a true member of the Church Militant, outmaneuvered the enemy by commending himself to our most powerful weapon - prayer. Father Brey was a great example to all Catholics of moral courage, and final perseverance. He was a faithful son of Holy Mother Church...He assisted in thousands of conversions through his service as a faithful Alter Christus his whole priestly life. May we never forget this brave and faithful warrior, yet kind and jolly priest, for the gifts he gave us all, and has left us of beautiful sermons, poems, prayers, and the holy Mass." A few of the prayers he composed we will bring to you throughout December. The beginning of the month we lost Father James Francis Wathen and now at the end of November we have lost another dedicated traditional priest in Father Lawrence Brey. Please remember the repose of their souls, as well as all traditional priests who have completed their mission on earth, in your prayers.

The miraculous Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Gospel in picture form. She is the Immaculate Conception, as the Apocalypse describes, "a woman clothed in the sun, with the moon at her feet." Those who saw it realized immediately she is greater than the sun, moon, stars which they had worshipped as gods. For people today in what is called the "New Age" she is also a sign not to worship the "forces" of nature. But she herself is not a goddess. She has her hands folded in prayer, her eyes looking down to humility. To whom is she praying? The clue is in the brooch under her neck. It has a small cross. But she is not only praying to God, she has God within her to the peoples of the Americas. You can see the compassion in the face of the Blessed Virgin. Hearing her tender message and gazing on this picture lesson of Catholicism, it is easy to understand that the Mother of Jesus is our Mother also! See

"Qui legit, intelligat" The Straight Stuff   Griff Ruby tackles the very crux of the problem so evident in the conciliar church that many cannot see it: Invisibilism. He points out that if Modernism is "the synthesis of all heresies," and it most definitely is, then Invisibilism is "the heresy behind all heresies." This is because the visible Church, as She was for nearly 2000 years, is no longer visible to the vast majority. In her stead has come the eclipse by the conciliar church of Her infrangible dogmas and doctrines, not to mention the very essence of Catholic worship - the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the patrimony of holy Mother Church. Thanks to the heresy of Invisibilism these have been slowly, and not so slowly, but surely erased from the memories of several generations. In these dark times, when all looks the darkest, there truly is hope by remembering what Christ Himself promised: He would be with us until the end of the world, but He also counts on us to do our part for the salvation of souls and the restoration of holy Mother Church. Griff explained in the first of a series on the problems and solutions with his piece on the heresy of Invisibilism
Doctors of the Church   Thursday, December 7th, a day of fast and abstinence in preparation for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, is the feast of the holy bishop and Doctor of the Church Saint Ambrose. He is the seventh in the chronological line of noted and revered Doctors of the Church. He was the first to migrate from the north, the Rhineland area of Trier and settled in Milan, Italy where he cast away a lucrative career as a lawyer and politician to accept the people's acclaim as their Bishop. He ruled in holiness and justice and was responsible for converting and nurturing Saint Augustine among many other lesser known saints. With the wisdom granted to the Archbishop of Alexandria, Ambrose fought vigorously against the Arian heresy towards the end of the 4th century. Saint Ambrose, this valiant bishop who stood for the true Faith in the face of apostate colleagues, let nothing faze him for he was appointed by God as a Converter of Saints Doctors of the Church  The thirteenth Doctor in this chronological series on the Doctors of the Church is Saint Peter Chrysologus whose feast day is December 4th. He was born at the turn of the 5th Century and, like his predecessor colleagues in the great academy of Doctors, strove with his every breath and magnificent oratory skills to uphold and preserve the Sacred fidei depositum . He dauntlessly combated the damaging heresy of Monophysism and saved many souls from this error as Archbishop of Ravenna where he emphasized a strict discipline against laxity in all things. So great was his eloquence in conveying the Faith in all its beauty and simplicity that Saint Peter Chrysologus is remembered, even though few of his sermons have survived the annals of history, as the Doctor of Homilies. Christ or chaos     While we carry Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey's articles on a specific link on these pages daily, we wanted to bring to your attention four of his most recent. One is how we can best prepare for the Nativity during this Advent with his piece Anticipating Advent (2006). Another lists all the Novus Ordo conciliar "bishops" in the United States and shows that there really are only ten men who were validly consecrated and they are, for the most part, retired and long ago sold out to the conciliar heresies, meaning the only valid bishops are those who can trace true consecrations back to the successors of the Apostles and the only ones with valid consecrations who have remained loyal to holy Mother Church are the traditional bishops. He provides the evidence in his cogent piece, Thank You, John Paul II. Dovetailing from that are two articles that prove the conciliar popes cannot possibly be Catholic for they have publicly apostasized from the true Faith by pandering to pagans as the pictures above bear out and as Tom compares in When Praying with Baal and His Friends is Considered A Gesture of "Fraternity" Finally, in commemoration of the 425th anniversary of the martyrdom of the holy, dauntless Jesuit Father Edmund Campion on December 1, Tom presents a piece on Campion as in Champion and the parallel of what happened in England to exactly what has happened in the conciliar church. In lieu of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, the hatchet men at the top are named John Paul II and Benedict XVI who have either forgotten or purposely dismissed the specific marching orders of our Lord Himself for the primary mission of the Church, carried out so faithfully until 1959. Tom explains in his poignant piece A Champion for all Ages. The best way to sum up what Tom has written is to call it Catholic Champions and Conciliar Chumps
"Qui legit, intelligat"   In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the First Sunday of Advent we go back one year when he clearly showed how man-made religions have forsaken what God commanded and what Christ established with His only One, True Church. Father pointed out the meaning of Advent and the why of it - in perfect union and preparation for the coming of the Messiah Who would establish the New Covenant. Today, just as in the time of Moses, men have decided they know better and have carved idols, worshipping what they wanted, not what God demanded. From the First Commandment alone we can see how the conciliarists have gravely violated this precept by adding to the graven image of the golden calf for they have not only acknowledged false religions, but encouraged them as well. Father documented this travesty. He also showed the clear, concise words of Pope St. Pius X in his masterful encyclical Pascendi that warned of how one could tell if one is a modernist or not. Sadly, we can see today His Holiness' very omens being carried out to extremes for idols are being carved out of every ambiguity and relativism postured by the church of Vatican II where they find justification for good being evil and vice being considered virtuous by those very offenders of God's Laws. Father explained in his sermon
"You shall not carve idols"
The Sanity of Sanctity 
Need some impetus to prepare for Christmas during December? What we provide is a litany to all of the saints whose feast days are celebrated in the month of December. Many of these saints are little-known and often are not, for that reason, invoked in our prayers. While there are several Advent feria days in this month along with a few Ember Day Propers, almost each day is dedicated to one or more saints historically and acknowledged in the traditional calendars. If you add this short litany to your daily Rosary, you will have the benefit of invoking the prayers of some of these lesser-known saints for December and better prepare to offer a worthy gift to the Christ Child on Christmas morn.
