12/9/2020 0 Comments December 09th, 2020 Manuel Moralez, president of the National League for the Defense of Religious Liberty in Mexico during the Cristero War, was arrested a few days after a League meeting, during which he said, "The league should be peaceful and not interfere in political affairs. Our project is to implore the government to remove the articles of the Constitution that prevent religious freedom." Imprisoned in the town hall, he was beaten and tortured, until August 15, 1926, when soldiers removed him from his cell and drove him to the mountains near Chalchihuites.
Accused of conspiring to revolt against the government, he was brought forward with another who begged for Moralez's freedom, because he had children to support. Moralez said, "I am dying for God, and God will care for my children." And before his execution by firing squad, he hollered, "Long live Christ the King and Our Lady of Guadalupe!" #VivaCristoRey

"If there be anything which derives its nature from a defective cause, which can be the cause of a defective action, it can in the first instant of its existence have a defective operation; just as the leg, which is defective from birth, through a defect in the principle of generation, begins at once to limp." -- #SaintThomasAquinas (1225-74) 12/8/2020 0 Comments December 08th, 2020  Because he was a Catholic priest, Father Piotr Paweł Andryka was arrested by the Crhistophobic NKVD (Soviet Socialist secret police), in the spring of 1941, and was never heard from again.

"When it is said that God said: 'Be light made: and light was made,' we are to understand the full formation of the angel by turning to the Word." -- #SaintThomasAquinas (1225-74) 12/7/2020 0 Comments December 07th, 2020 After the ignition of World War II, Father Piotr Andrejczuk was arrested by Soviet Socialists and shipped to Drohobych prison (with Father Zeno Alexander Krupski and others), where he was brutally interrogated and tortured.

One priest was Padre Miguel Pérez Aldape, a regimental chaplain, who defended the Holy Cause with his crucifx, a saddlebag with his vestment stole, and a 30-30 rifle. In the December 1928 photo are (L to R): Colonel Victor Lopez, General Miguel Hernandez, Colonel Toribio Valdez, Padre Miguel Perez Aldape, and Lieutenant Teniente Eulogio Gonzalez. Defending the Faith, Lieutenant Gonzalez was a sharpshooting sniper, an honorable man who humbly admitted that he shot more than 100 Federal soldiers, but much regretted leaving many families without a father, son, brother, husband. He married Maria Hernandez de Mendoza, cousin of General Miguel Hernandez. The lieutenant and his wife are the grandparents of #BobParr. #VivaCristoRey! 12/7/2020 0 Comments December 07th, 2020 From the #AngelicDoctor...
