Note to MAGA authoritarians — don’t fu*k with the Catholic Church. We will defeat you.

The Pope is an open-borders liberal globalist with a disdain for the American tradition.

BREAKING: PENTAGON THREATEN THE POPE’S AMBASSADOR The U.S. told Cardinal Christophe Pierre: America can do whatever it wants, and the Catholic Church better get in line.

If a Catholic went to Westminster Seminary to study Calvin I would not be surprised if they converted to Presbyterianism. In fact, I would expect it.

Dominguito del Val, also known as Santo Dominguito de Val, occupies a unique and controversial place in Spanish Catholic history as the alleged child martyr of Zaragoza. Born around 1243 in Zaragoza, the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon during the reign of James I the Conqueror, Dominguito was the son of Sancho del Val, a prominent notary and secretary to the cathedral chapter, and his wife Isabel Sancho. From a young age, he exhibited remarkable piety and devotion, earning him a position as a choirboy (infante de coro or seise) and acolyte at the Cathedral of La Seo del Salvador. At just seven years old, Dominguito was known for his pure voice, daily attendance at Mass, and assistance in liturgical duties, making him a beloved figure among the cathedral's community. His life, however, is shrouded in legend rather than verifiable fact. The story of Dominguito's martyrdom unfolds on August 31, 1250—a date that coincides with the current calendar observance of his feast day. While walking from the cathedral through the narrow streets of Zaragoza's Jewish quarter (aljama) on his way home, the boy was lured by a Jewish man named Mosé or Albayuceto (variants exist in sources). Dominguito was allegedly taken to a rabbi's house where a group of Jews subjected him to a ritualistic reenactment of Christ's Passion. They crucified him on a wall with three nails, pierced his side, and tortured him in mockery of the Savior's suffering. To dispose of the body, the perpetrators decapitated him, severed his feet, threw the parts into a well, and buried the torso along the banks of the Ebro River near the Puente de Piedra. Miraculous signs soon followed: fishermen spotted ethereal lights (fuego fatuo) over the burial site, and the Ebro's waters rose unusually, causing the head and feet to emerge from the well. A family dog reportedly led authorities to the crime scene, uncovering the full extent of the atrocity. The discovery sparked outrage in Zaragoza, leading to the arrest and execution of the alleged perpetrators by hanging, though one confessor was spared execution and imprisoned for life. Dominguito's remains were recovered, briefly interred at the Church of San Gil (his parish), and then solemnly transferred to La Seo Cathedral, where they were venerated as relics. These bones, including part of his skull, are still housed in a dedicated chapel within the cathedral, adorned with imagery of the child's crucifixion and symbols of his martyrdom. The event inspired the formation of a farmers' brotherhood in his honor, renewed in 1403 and 1496, which organized annual commemorations. Over centuries, Dominguito became the patron saint of altar boys (monaguillos), choirboys, and young singers, with his intercession invoked for protection against similar harms. His cult spread beyond Aragon, evidenced by an altar in Seville's Church of San Nicolás de Bari, erected by relatives in 1815 and later owned by Rafael Merry del Val, a cardinal and distant kin. Despite its enduring popularity in local devotion, the historicity of Dominguito's story is highly questionable. No contemporary medieval records exist; the earliest written accounts date to 1583, over three centuries later, when church officials in Zaragoza fabricated documents to petition the Pope for his beatification, drawing inspiration from similar European tales like that of Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (1255) or William of Norwich (1144). Historians such as Álvarez Chillida and José Ignacio Gómez Zorraquino argue that the narrative was a constructed "tradition" to bolster anti-Jewish sentiment during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, amid rising antisemitism in Christian Europe. Blood libels—false accusations of Jews ritually murdering Christian children to use their blood in Passover rites—proliferated from the 12th century onward, often fueled by economic tensions, religious fervor, and scapegoating during plagues or droughts. In Spain, this narrative paralleled later cases like the Holy Child of La Guardia (1491), contributing to pogroms and expulsions, including the 1492 Alhambra Decree. Even King Alfonso X the Wise referenced such rumors in his *Siete Partidas* legal code, warning against Jewish "mockeries" of the Passion. While never formally canonized, Dominguito was included in the Roman Martyrology and celebrated on August 31 in the Diocese of Zaragoza until 2017, when his feast was suppressed due to lack of historical evidence. Modern Catholic sources emphasize the story's legendary nature and caution against xenophobic interpretations. Scholarly analyses, including those in Estudis: Revista de historia moderna, highlight how the legend was revived in the 16th and 17th centuries by chroniclers like Diego José Dormer to serve ecclesiastical and political agendas, even influencing Nazi propaganda in the 1930s via Julius Streicher's Der Stürmer, which cited it as "evidence" of Jewish perfidy.
