“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

If guessing this has something to do with St. Luke proves correct, guessing it might be the Chiesa dei Santi Luca e Martina as church of the Accademia di San Luca seems incorrect…
S. Maria in Aquiro
Father, thank you!
Is this what Wikipedia describes as “Virgin and Saints (1617) by Carlo Saraceni”? Unhandy searcher that I am, I cannot find a photograph of it – but looking at other paintings of his, I learn at last that he painted the painting you posted on 23 August, and that it is in San Simeone Profeta!
Venerator: My apologies. I steered you wrong. This is not S.M. in Aquiro.
This is Santa Maria in Monterone, sort of near the Largo Argentina.
The altar painting is attributed to the very fine Pompeo Batoni, whose Sacred Heart in the Gesu is well-known. This is Mary between Sts. Peter Nolasco and Peter Pascasio. It was a Mercedarian church that eventually went to the Redemptorists.
The great Roman poet “Er Belli” was born nearby here in 1791.
Father,
My belated thanks for this correction, with its wealth of details to follow up!
Sts. Peter Nolasco and Peter Pascasio as complements to your St. Raymond Nonnatus post – and when one knows, how clear the pointing of the ransomed captives to their Benefactors, Our Lady of Mercy and the Redemption of the Captives and Her Son.
And how delightful – and humbling – to read of Pompeo Batoni – how likely that I have seen other works of his (very fine, indeed), but how bewildering not to have a sense of him, if so. (The picture within a picture seems uncharacteristic of the other paintings of his I have just seen online – might there be an element of gratitude to St. Luke, after his induction into the Accademia di San Luca, which Wikipedia notes?)
And the astonishing “Er Belli”! – more translations, at least, of whose poems I should try…
