infovaticana.com/en/2026/11/… The novus ordo counter church of sexual perverts marches on -- ad infinitum. This time the Jesuits. The Bolivian Community of Survivors, which brings together victims of sexual abuse committed by clergy in Bolivia, has asked Leo XIV in an open letter for an “institutional, just and definitive response” to their complaints, most of them against Jesuits, many of them Spanish. The letter, released on Saturday, November 7, while the Pope was touring Uruguay in the first leg of his trip to South America, also asks that his visit include a space to listen to the victims from Bolivia, a country not included in the itinerary. According to the AFP agency, the organization plans to deliver it this Monday at the Apostolic Nunciature of Bolivia, as explained by its secretary of international relations, Edwin Alvarado. The signatories maintain that the abuse crisis in Bolivia “does not find an adequate institutional response”. They claim to have filed formal complaints with the Bolivian Episcopal Conference, the Nunciature and Cardinal Toribio Ticonawithout obtaining any accountability so far. In the cases involving Jesuits, the letter states that “impunity prevailed” thanks to an institutional framework that protected the accused, and points to the structures of the Society of Jesus in Spain and Bolivia and its General Curia in Rome. They ask the Vatican to intervene in the pending ecclesiastical investigations. The organization estimates around 810 victims in the various cases it has documented in the country, although, according to AFP, it does not specify whether these are all different individuals. In just one school in Cochabamba, Juan XXIII, it identifies 400 victims of five Jesuits who worked there as directors, educators, nurses and spiritual guides. Among them is the Spaniard Alfonso Pedrajas, who directed the center from 1971 and whose diary, according to the investigation published by El País in 2023, described abuses against dozens of minors. Pedrajas died in Bolivia in 2009 without having been tried. The letter also includes the case of Spanish Jesuit Luis Roma, who died in 2019 and is accused of having abused at least 75 indigenous Guaraní girls. The Pedrajas case has had a criminal consequence that the victims consider insufficient. In September 2025, a Bolivian court sentenced former Spanish Jesuit provincials Marcos Recolons and Ramón Alaix to one year in prison for covering up his abuses while they governed the order in Bolivia. On October 28, the Community filed a canonical complaint with the Archdiocese of Cochabamba requesting their excommunication and expulsion from the clerical state. According to Religión Digital, the archdiocese responded that it does not have jurisdiction to handle the demand. The letter to the Pope also includes that refusal. Most of the Jesuits named in the most serious cases have died, which, in the victims’ view, shifts responsibility to those who covered for them and to the institution. A few weeks ago, the Society of Jesus expelled from the clerical state and from the order the Jesuit Francesc Peris, accused of abusing minors in Spain and Bolivia, a decision that the Bolivian Network of Survivors described as a symbolic gesture because, in its view, it does not address the congregation’s complicity. The letter arrives as Leo XIV is scheduled to meet in Chiclayo, during the Peruvian leg of the trip, with victims of the Sodalitium of Christian Life. According to AFP, the Church has on several occasions expressed its regret over the Bolivian cases, and Pope Francis expressed his shame and consternation in June 2023. Neither the Nunciature nor the Society of Jesus has publicly responded to the letter. The victims from Bolivia are asking the Pope for what they say they have not obtained from their bishops, the Nunciature or the Jesuits: that someone be held accountable for those who covered up the abuses.

Saint Menas Martyred c. 295 under Diocletian. A Christian, and an Egyptian by birth, Menas served in the Roman army under the tribune Firmilian. When the army was stationed at Cotyreus in Phrygia, he retired to the mountains and served God by fasting, vigils, and prayer. After a public profession of his faith, Menas was brought before the prefect Pyrrhus, scourged, tortured, and beheaded. His body was taken to Egypt. Fame of his miracles spread rapidly, and his tomb became the object of frequent pilgrimages. An expedition in 1905 revealed ruins of the grave, well, basilica, monastery, etc., built to commemorate Saint Menas. Image: St. Mennas, Paolo Veronese, c. 1560.

YOU SHALL BE MY MARTYRS "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you," He told the disciples, "and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem, but throughout Judea and Samaria, and indeed to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8)... The source of strength to suffer for Christ comes finally from the Holy Spirit, who is said to give power. In the language of the New Testament, this power is the same kind of power by which miracles can be worked. The nature of martyrdom is to witness, except that when Christ spoke to the disciples He did not say "You shall be my witnesses," but, "You shall be my martyrs," which tells us exactly what we want to know. The essence of being a martyr is to be a witness. And we know what a witness does. He gives testimony publicly that something he saw or heard is true. He has experience of a fact or an event, and as a witness he declares that what he says or signs his name to is so. He gives evidence to others that what he testifies to should be believed. Why? Because he personally knows. If we would know the power of this martyrdom of witness we have only to read the annals of the early Church. The handful of believers whom Peter baptized on Pentecost Sunday were as a drop in the immense culture surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Yet see what happened. This small group of convinced faithful were able, in less than three hundred years, to turn the tide of paganism in the Roman Empire. For a long time they were deprived even of the basic civil rights accorded other citizens. They were often hunted like animals, and the catacombs tell us that they had to hide when celebrating the Liturgy and hide the tombs of their revered dead. But their patience and meekness finally prevailed. Yes, but only because it was supported by unbounded courage, born not of their own strength, but of the power that Christ promised to give all His followers that shall witness to His name everywhere. This promise is just as true today. All that we need is to trust in the Spirit Whom we possess, and never grow weary in giving testimony to the grace we received. This is what Christ was talking about when He told us not to hide our virtues but to allow them to be publicly seen, like a candle on a candlestick or a city on a mountaintop. We should not be afraid that by such evidence of our good works we shall be protected from vainglory by the cost in humiliation that witnessing to a holy life inevitably brings. There will have to be enough death to self and enough ignoring of human respect to keep us from getting proud in our well-doing. God will see to that. On our part, we must be willing to pay the price of suffering in doing good, which is another name for being a living martyr, that is, a courageous witness to the life of Christ in the world today." ~Excerpt, Our Times: The Age of Martyrs, Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J. Image: A Christian Martyr Drowned in the Tiber During the Reign of Diocletian, Paul Delaroche, 1855.

The occasional Salve Regina or Pater Noster is intended to divert your attention away from Prevost's wholesale demolition of the faith. This works for the Novus Ordo cult who is so very easily deceived; however, not all of us are deaf, dumb, and blind;)

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing. Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. ℟. Amen. Reading 3 Martin, born in Sabaria at Pannonia, was ten years old, when against his parents' wishes he went to a Church and asked to be enrolled amongst the catechumens. At fifteen he enlisted as a soldier, and served first in the army of Constantius, and then in that of Julian. At eighteen, when he had given part of his cloak to a poor man at Amiens, he was strengthened by a wonderful apparition of Jesus Christ and eagerly received baptism. Then leaving the military life, he was received among the acolytes of Hilary, the bishop of Poitiers. Later made bishop of Tours, he built a monastery, where with eighty monks he lived in a most holy way for some time. When he was seized with severe fever at Candes, a village of his diocese, he had pity on his disciples, and thus prayed to God: “Lord, if I am still necessary for your people, I will not refuse the labor.” Shortly after, when death was imminent, the enemy of mankind appeared him. “Why are you here, cruel beast?”, said Martin. “You will find no deadly sin in me.” With those words he gave back his soul to God at the age of eighty one, famous for many miracles. ℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. ℟. Thanks be to God. Image: Death of Saint Martin of Tours, Workshop of Derick Baegert, 1490.

November 11 - St. Martin of Tours When a mere boy, Martin became a Christian catechumen against his parents' wish; and at fifteen was therefore seized by his father, a pagan soldier, and enrolled in the army. One winter's day, when stationed at Amiens, he met a beggar almost naked and frozen with cold. Having no money, he cut his cloak in two and gave him the half. That night he saw Our Lord clothed in the half cloak, and heard Him say to the angels: "Martin, yet a catechumen, hath wrapped Me in this garment." This decided him to be baptized, and shortly after he left the army. He succeeded in converting his mother; but, being driven from his home by the Arians, he took shelter with St. Hilary, and founded near Poitiers the first monastery in France. In 372 he was made Bishop of Tours. His flock, though Christian in name, was still pagan in heart. Unarmed and attended only by his monks, Martin destroyed the heathen temples and groves, and completed by his preaching and miracles the conversion of the people, whence he is known as the Apostle of Gaul. His last eleven years were spent in humble toil to atone for his faults, while God made manifest by miracles the purity of his soul. Reflection: It was for Christ crucified that St. Martin worked. Are you working for the same Lord? ~Butler's Lives of the Saints Image: Martin of Tours, Chapel in the Lower Church of San Francesco in Assisi. Scene: Detail of The Meditating Saint, Simone Martini.

S. Martini Episcopi et Confessoris ~ III. classis Commemoratio ad Laudes tantum: S. Mennæ Martyris St. Martin, Bishop and Confessor ~ 3rd class Commemoration at Lauds only: St. Menna Martyr The Holy Gospel according to Luke ℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. Luke 11:33-36 At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or even under the measure, but upon the lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light. The lamp of your body is your eye. If your eye be sound, your whole body will be full of light. But if it be evil, your body also will be full of darkness. Take care, therefore, that the light that is in you is not darkness. If, then, your whole body is full of light, having no part in darkness, it will all be illumined, as when a bright lamp illumines you. ℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ. S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out. Image: Evangelist St. Luke Writing, Byzantine illumination, 10th century.

Gradual Sir 44:16, 20 Behold a great priest, who in his days pleased God. ℣. There was not found the like to him, who kept the law of the Most High. Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. The blessed man, St. Martin, Bishop of the city of Tours, has gone to rest; and the Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Dominations and Powers have received him. Alleluia.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus Sir 44:16-27; 45:3-20 Behold, a great priest, who in his days pleased God, and was found just; and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation. There was not found the like to him, who kept the law of the Most High. Therefore, by an oath, the Lord made him to increase among his people. He gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed His covenant upon his head. He acknowledged him in His blessings; He preserved for him His mercy; and he found grace before the eyes of the Lord. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him a crown of glory. He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him a great priesthood; and made him blessed in glory. To execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise in His name, and to offer Him a worthy incense for an odor of sweetness. ℟. Thanks be to God.
