"An angel can know God by His essence, and this appertains to his knowledge of glory; and at the same time he can know God by his own essence, which belongs to his natural knowledge." -- #SaintThomasAquinas (1225-74) 10/7/2020 0 Comments October 07th, 2020 "Death if the solution to all problems.

-- Stalin 10/7/2020 0 Comments October 07th, 2020 Salvador Huerta Gutiérrez was arrested on April 2, 1927, after he went to the cemetery to pay respects to the the remains of Anacleto González, a well-known Catholic leader martyred during the period of Catholic persecution in Mexico.
When he returned to his mechanical workshop, police officers were waiting for him. They arrested him and then tortured him by hanging him by his thumbs. His torturers wanted to know the whereabouts of two priests: Eduardo and José Refugio. Lifeless, they threw him in a dungeon. In the early hours of April 3, he was led, along with his brother Ezequiel, to the Mezquitan pantheon. Before the firing squad, he asked for a lighted candle, illuminated his bare chest and said: "Long live Christ the King and the Virgin of Guadalupe. Shoot! I die for God, who I love very much!" --- From Vatican.va #VivCristoRey! #MakeMexicoCatholicAgain! 10/7/2020 0 Comments October 07th, 2020 From the #AngelicDoctor...
"The imperfection of natural knowledge is not opposed to the perfection of the knowledge in glory." -- #SaintThomasAquinas (1225-74) 10/6/2020 0 Comments October 06th, 2020ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVICH (1970)
BASED ON ALEKSSANDR SOLZHENITSYN'S LIFE IN SOCIALIST SOVIET GULAGS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxaPnLALqpM 10/6/2020 0 Comments October 06th, 2020 José Luciano Ezequiel Huerta Gutiérrez, married with 10 children, was arrested on the morning of April 2, 1927, after paying his respects to the lifeless body of Anacleto González Flores.
Questioned about the whereabouts of his two priest brothers, about his two oldest sons and the Cristeros, Ezequiel refused to talk, so he was tortured until he was unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he expressed his pain by singing with all his might: "My Christ lives, my King lives," for which he received more beatings until he could not utter a single sound. The following morning, he was led at dawn with his brother Salvador Huerta Gutiérrez to the cemetery of Mezquitán, where they were both killed. Ezequiel's wife heard the shots from her home and although she did not know that her husband was one of the victims, she gathered their children around her and said: "My children, let us recite the Rosary for these poor people who have just been shot." --- From Vatican.va #VivaCristoRey! 10/6/2020 0 Comments October 06th, 2020 From the #AngelicDoctor...
"The imperfection of the power underlies the perfection of the form." -- #SaintThomasAquinas (1225-74) 10/5/2020 0 Comments October 05th, 2020 “Bolshevik Freedom,” Polish poster of Leon Trotsky.
Translation: “Bolsheviks promised, ‘We will give you room. We will give you freedom. We will give you land, work and bread.’ Abjectly, they unleashed war against Poland. Instead of freedom, they gave fists. Instead of land, requisitions. Instead of work, misery. Instead of bread, hunger." #VivaCristoRey! #NiechŻyjeChrystusKról! 10/5/2020 0 Comments October 05th, 2020   On the morning of April 1, 1927 the Mexican Socialist secret police shouted: "Open the door in the name of the law!" and then stormed in and arrested everyone, including two brothers, Jorge and Ramón Vargas González, who were interrogated and tortured.

"The imperfection of nature is not opposed to the perfection of beatitude, but underlies it." -- #SaintThomasAquinas (1225-74) 10/2/2020 0 Comments October 02nd, 2020 Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn quote:
“You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the ‘Russian Revolution.’ It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators.” 10/2/2020 0 Comments October 02nd, 2020  Federales - henchmen of the revolutionary, pro-Communist Mexican government - dragged a barefoot Father Pedro de Jesus Maldonado Lucero to the town hall, on February 10, 1937. His torturers grabbed his pyx, shoved all Hosts in his mouth and ordered him to eat, before he was beaten and then shot, which fractured his skull and caused his left eye to explode.
