So yesterday we had the Federal Election in Canada. The government has lost any notion of its duty to assist the Church in establishing the Social Reign of Christ the King.
Essentially they are atheists / woke. In 1957, Paul Comtois was elected in the Federal riding of Nicolet-Yamaska, and in 1961 this devout Catholic was elevated to the rank of Lieutenant Governor-General of Quebec. He requested from the Cardinal that he might keep the Blessed Sacrament at the official residence, in the private chapel. The Cardinal hesitated, but finally he obliged, but demanding that Paul must protect the Blessed Sacrament, absolutely... This remarkably talented man kept his promise.

"...[A]fter midnight on the evening of February 21, 1966 — a bitterly cold night of -24° F (-31° C) — the Lieutenant-Governor, his family, and some guests returned to Bois-de-Coulonge from an event. Half an hour after the assembled had said their goodnights and retired to bed, a ferocious fire erupted in the basement of the 105-year-old manor.
“The fire started as though it were in a matchbox,” Lt. Col. J.P. Martin, the Lieutenant-Governor’s aide-de-camp, reported. “It was incredible to see with what speed the flames spread through the building.”
As soon as the fire was noticed, the governor immediately took charge, guiding his wife and children out of the house into the cold winter’s night outside. His daughter Mireille, however, noticed her father would not yet leave the tinderbox house.
“As I was racing through the building to escape from the fire, I came upon my father in the chapel. As I was going to run to him, he firmly ordered me to jump from a nearby window and I did, wondering why he did not do likewise. The last I saw of him, he was standing under the sanctuary lamp in his pajamas and wearing around his neck the souvenir Rosary from his father which he said every night and wore to sleep.”
Having been assured that all his family and guests had escaped the inferno, the seventy-year-old Paul Comtois returned to the private chapel in which he visited the Lord every evening before bed to save the Blessed Sacrament from the desecrating fire. He reached the chapel, already engulfed in flames, but managed to make it to the tabernacle and remove the pyx containing the Body of Christ.
Leaving the chapel, he descended the staircase which collapsed about him, and the
Lieutenant-Governor was burned alive in the inferno. The fire in which Paul Comtois died was so hot that the first firemen on the scene could not approach within a hundred feet of the building.
“I was told,” Mireille continues, “that when they found him, his body was badly burned and his arms were no longer intact; but my father was a big stocky man and under the upper part of his body
they found the pyx used to carry the Holy Eucharist. His body had saved it from the flames. … I can still picture him standing there in the light of the sanctuary lamp.”
Maurice Cardinal Roy, the Archbishop of Québec & Primate of Canada, said that “Mr. Comtois, as a Christian, gave an example of wisdom and goodness, humility, and radiant faith.”
. “In other times, that news would have covered the world with headlines. But nowadays? I doubt if La Croix and Les Informations Catholiques Internationales of Paris, or the liberal Catholic weeklies, will give much coverage or comment to that sublime act of faith.”
“But what an act of reparation,” Fr. Laplante wrote, for the errant priests who do not believe in the Holy Eucharist and desecrate the Blessed Sacrament themselves.
