CONSECRATIONS STRUGGLE – II.
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCCXXVIII (May 27, 2023) : CONSECRATIONS STRUGGLE – II. More than once these “Comments” have highlighted the importance of bishops for the whole Catholic Church.

WAY FORWARD – II
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXLVII (November 6, 2021) : WAY FORWARD – II In last week’s issue of these “Comments”, a reader was commended for taking a properly supernatural view of the modern world’s frightening problems, namely, they constitute one overriding offence against Almighty God. That is why their full gravity cannot remotely be grasped on a…
WAY FORWARD – I
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXLVI (October 30th) : WAY FORWARD – I Such is the pressure of national and international events in the autumn of 2021 that readers of these “Comments” can be asking themselves, is there any other way forward for people living today than the way forward traced for them by the enemies of God,…

COVID = CRIME
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXLIV (Oct. 16, 2021) : COVID = CRIME These “Comments” make little to no apology for coming back so often to the question of Covid, to the crime of Covid, because it promises to be for a while to come the major battlefield in the great war between Satan and God for the…
VIGANO on the “GREAT RESET”
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXLIII (October 9, 2021) : VIGANO on the “GREAT RESET” It is surely providential that the official Catholic Church has no more work to require from its former nuncio in the USA until a few years ago, Archbishop Carlo-Maria Viganò. This leaves him free to do what every high-up churchman should be doing,…
ROSARY BLAST II
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXLII (October 2, 2012) : ROSARY BLAST II In the great naval battles of the Second World War (1939-1945), rendered out-of-date today by aeroplanes and missiles, great warships still confronted one another, but the size of their guns was decisive. Normally, only big warships could take on big warships: for instance, in 1941…

ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXLI (September 25, 2021) : An American friar, by name Brother Alexis Bugnolo, paints a dramatic picture of our near future in a video-clip which many readers may already have seen, but which all can profit to know, not because everything will necessarily happen exactly as he foresees, but because something like it…

MERCIFUL CHASTISEMENT ?
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXXVIII (Sept. 4th, 2012) : MERCIFUL CHASTISEMENT ? These “Comments” refer frequently to an imminent Chastisement, even a “rain of fire”, which an angry God will inflict upon a sinful mankind.

WISE LEFEBVRE – II
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXXVII (August 28, 2021) : WISE LEFEBVRE – II Besides the balance between liberalism and sedevacantism (cf. these “Comments” last week), there is another angle from which to come at the wisdom of Archbishop Lefebvre’s resisting “to their face” Popes Paul VI and John-Paul II, and that is how exceptional he was at…
LEFEBVRE’S WISDOM – I
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXXVI (August 21st, 2021) : And what do these “Comments” have to say about Pope Francis’ latest smashing scandal, namely his Motu Proprio “Traditionis Custodes” in which he does all he can to extinguish the age-old Traditional rite of Mass in Latin, and to make sure that it will disappear for ever from…
GODLESS GOVERNMENTS – II
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXXV (August 14, 2021) : Readers may remember from these “Comments” last week the article of a British patriot, Dennis Whiting, in which he denounced the British Government for organising lies in order to run the country, especially but not only, in connection with the Covid nonsense.

GODLESS GOVERNMENTS – I
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXXIV (August 7, 2021) : Without a true God or His personal judgement at death to fear, what is there to stop rulers or ruling elites from exploiting their privileged rank for their own benefit and not that of the people they rule ? A modern politician answers to nobody except the media.…
GREAT RESET ?
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXXIII (July 31, 2021) : For the Philosophy Festival held in Venice two months ago, Archbishop Vigano wrote another of his splendid overviews on modern events, presenting a truly Catholic point of view such as all churchmen should be presenting, but which by the Conciliar madness the large number of them are still…
LIFE PRECIOUS

The ENDURING GOD
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXXI (July 17th, 2021) : Man is changing all the time, no need to prove that, whereas God cannot change in the least. He is Being itself (and they say that He does not exist !), so that He has all being in Him and there is no being that He can acquire.…
TRUTH and AUTHORITY – III
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXX (July 10th, 2021) : With regard to the crisis of the Church, the diagnosis of loyalty to Catholic Truth battling it out ever since Vatican II with loyalty to Catholic Authority (EC 726, June 12) throws much light (EC 728, June 26), but it may have yet more light to throw, on…
GOD CENTRAL

TRUTH and AUTHORITY – II
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXVIII (June 26th, 2021) : One may or may not agree with the statement by these “Comments” two weeks ago (#726, June 12) that at Vatican II (1962-1965), Catholic Truth was split, broadly speaking, from Catholic Authority, but it is in any case a position which goes a long way towards explaining the…
VIGANO PLEADS
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXVII (June 19, 2021) : These “Comments” have more than once quoted Our Lady saying in Japan in 1973, “Only I can help you now.” It is typical of the wisdom of Archbishop Vigano to take Her seriously. Not all readers of these “Comments” will have seen how he pleaded with Her last…
TRUTH and AUTHORITY – I
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXVI (June 12, 2021) : A reader of these “Comments” was puzzled recently by what seemed to her the relatively unsatisfactory explanation given by a prestigious Traditionalist leader of his return under the authority of the official Church after he had for several years followed the lead of Archbishop Lefebvre (1905-1991), and then…

FOUR CONCERNS.
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXXIII (May 22, 2021) : A reader writes, “Your Excellency, could you please clarify four points of disagreement with yourself which seem to come up over and over again in Traditional Catholic circles.” No problem – by all means let people think for themselves as long as they agree with me ! 1 …

POPE’S DISINTEGRATION – II
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXIX (April 24, 2012) : The rhyming couplets at the beginning or end of each of the issues of these “Comments” have normally only two lines of ten syllables each to make their point, which means that they can be so compressed that they are difficult to understand. Last week’s was an example.…
POPE’S DISINTEGRATION
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXVIII (April 17, 2021) : In an interview which he released early last month, the Superior General of the Society of St Pius X, Fr Davide Pagliarani, tackled in his own words a subject which is of supreme importance in today’s Church and world, but which is not often tackled because it is…

ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXVII (April 10, 2021) : Two weeks ago these “Comments” had pleasure in presenting from an Israeli Rabbi a pile of good sense in the form of 31 reasons why he would not take the anti-Covid “vaccine”. The only problem was that easily most of them had to be shortened for all of…

COVID NONSENSE
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXIV (March 20, 2021) : It is now nearly a year since the Covid nonsense was sprung upon the whole wide world, all at once, based on a massive lie according to which a deadly plague was about to be let loose on all mankind. The massive lie became clear as soon as the…
RUINATION’S CAUSES
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXIII (March 13, 2012) Two weeks ago in these “Comments” a veteran Traditionalist made some interesting comments on the subject of infiltrators, conscious or unconscious, wrecking the Catholic Church from within.

SCIENCE DOUBTED
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCXII (March 6, 2021) : SCIENCE DOUBTED Few people today still call in question the priority of science when it comes to providing us men with a happy world and the good life.

WHITE IDENTITY – III
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCX (February 20th, 2021) : WHITE IDENTITY – IIIThat identity today should be such a problem for many people (see the two previous issues of these “Comments”) is an artificial state of affairs.

WHITE IDENTITY – II
ELEISON COMMENTS DCCIX (February 13, 2021) : WHITE IDENTITY – IIThe dialogue continues with a young white man of today who is looking for who he is, for his identity, but who fears to look for it in the direction of Christ, because Christianity seems subordinate to Judaism, which makes Christians inferior. Yet he cannot…

ELEISON COMMENTS DCCVIII (February 6, 2021) : WHITE IDENTITY – IA young white couple that reads these “Comments” wants to come back to the Church, but it has a special difficulty which the 31-year old husband suspects is shared by many of his contemporaries : the present lack of an identity for whites.

ELEISON COMMENTS DCCVII (January 30th, 2021) : Repeat, the main player in the worldwide Covid drama unfolding all around us is Almighty God, no less.

MADIRAN – PROPOSITION VI
ELEISON COMMENTS DCC (December 12, 2020) Part V is not the easiest of the six Parts of the 1968 book of Jean Madiran (1920-2013) on The Heresy of the 20th century, because it deals with the Natural Law, which is a difficult concept for modern minds to grasp. And this is because God the Creator…

MADIRAN; THE HERESY
ELEISON COMMENTS DCXCVI (696) (Nov. 14th, 2020) No ocean storm could ever drown a cork,Nor heresy smother Truth’s traditional talk.
