Priests became enemies of the State during the Cristero War (1926–29), a civil revolt in Mexico against the anti-Catholic policies of the Mexican government, which enacted, under President Plutarco Elías Calles, a statute to enforce the anti-clerical articles of the Mexican Constitution of 1917, that sought to eliminate the power of the Catholic Church. Countless faithful were martyred and 4,000 priests were martyred in or exiled from Mexico for offering the outlawed holy sacrifice of the Mass. 1/7/2021 3 Comments January 07th, 2021From the #AngelicDoctor...
"Demons cannot know God, Who is most manifest of Himself, because He is the sovereign truth; and this is because they are not clean of heart, whereby alone can God be seen." -- #SaintThomasAquinas (1225-74) 1/6/2021 0 Comments January 06th, 2021Sister Maria Generosa (born Maria Bolz) perished, May 9, 1945, after defending her honor from the brutal hands of Soviet Socialist Red Army soldiers.
1/6/2021 0 Comments January 06th, 2021Victoriano Ramírez López, reknowned as "El Catorce" after he killed 14 federal soldiers during a shootout, was a very flawed man, a thief, a drunk and a womanizer with many bastards, but, somehow, he ended up on the right side of the Cristero War, when the Mexican government persecuted Catholics.
An outlaw, the only reason he was recruited into the Regiment of Jalpa de Canovas was because he was fearless and insanely brave, El Catorce's fellow Cristero Lieutenant Teniente Eulogio Gonzalez later told his grandson Bob Parr. El Catorce joined because he had no one. He had nothing to lose. No one loved him. No one even liked him, but he ended up fighting for a Holy Cause, a fight for the Faithful. Because the regiment relied heavily on El Catorce's outlaw skills for special missions, Lieutenant Gonzalez, an honorable man, often argued with his fellow Cristero, trying to convince him to sober up, to put down the bottle and to stay away from the women. And as for his death, legend has it that someone on the Cristero's side ordered a hit on El Catorce, a complex man in a complex world. And so it was. His execution was fulfilled, on March 17, 1929. The life of El Catorce proves that each person has a part in God's perfect plan no matter how imperfect the person. 1/6/2021 0 Comments January 06th, 2021From the #AngelicDoctor...

"As the Philosopher (Aristotle) says: Evil is in many, but good in is few." -- #SaintThomasAquinas (1225-74) Thomas Aquinas was the greatest of the Scholastic philosophers. He produced a comprehensive synthesis of Christian theology and Aristotelian philosophy that influenced Roman Catholic doctrine for centuries and was adopted as the official philosophy of the Church in 1917. -- Britannica. |
