"Demonstration [of God's existence] can be made in two ways: One is through the cause, and is called A PRIORI, and this is to argue from what is prior absolutely. The other is through the effect, and is called a demonstration A POSTERIORI; this is to argue from what is prior relatively only to us." -- Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) 10/17/2018 0 Comments October 17th, 2018As the German Socialists invaded Poland, Seminarian Jan Garczyński made his first religious vows, on May 19, 1940, two days before Gestapo arrested him.

"The chief aim of sacred doctrine is to teach the knowledge of God, not only as He is in Himself, but also as He is the beginning of things and their last end, and especially of rational creatures." -- Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) 10/16/2018 0 Comments October 16th, 2018German Socialists invaded Poland, on September 1, 1939. Troops of the 2nd Light Division, commanded by General Georg Strumme, stormed into Lelów and gathered in a Catholic churchyard.
There, the commanding officer ordered a local Catholic, Mister Ignacy Trenda, to gather straw from a nearby barn and to place it under a crucifix in the vestibule, to set the church ablaze. Under threat of death, Ignacy refused and was shot in the stomach, which he grabbed before he was fatally shot in the head, on September 4, 1939. "Jesus, my love, I would not set you on fire," were his final words. The church was set on fire and destroyed. However, the crucifix miraculously survived the fire, with only the paint slightly blistered, and was placed on the main altar of a nearby chapel. VIVA CRISTO REY!

"It is befitting Holy Writ to put forward divine and spiritual truths by means of comparisons with material things. For God provides for everything according to the capacity of its nature. Now it is natural to man to attain to intellectual truths through sensible objects, because all our knowledge originates from sense." -- Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) 10/14/2018 0 Comments October 14th, 201810/14/2018 0 Comments October 14th, 2018From the Angelic Doctor...
"Holy Writ by the manner of its speech transcends every science, because in one and the same sentence, while it describes a fact, it reveals a mystery." -- Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) 10/13/2018 0 Comments October 13th, 2018Arrested by German Socialist Gestapo, Salesian Father Ignacy Dobiasz was shipped to Auschwitz and killed the day after his arrival at the death camp, when a kapo -- known as Bloody Franz -- beat him to death, on June 27, 1941, because he was a Catholic priest.
