REDEMPTORIST LIFE
Get to know Sant'Alfonso Maria de Liguori and join the Redemptorist Congregation to follow God the Son. Through divine love, horrific humiliations, self denial, love of the cross, unexpected situations that give us a foretaste of what hell with complete despair is without faith, hope and charity, compared to the divine presence of Jesus Christ, our Divine Redeemer who loves us infinitely.
You might lose self esteem, esteem from others, health, reputation, relatives, friends, colleagues. In these battles one thing is necessary: to love God, and to do His divine Will, to trust Him and not you, to accept whatever He wants.
Scholarly Breakthrough: The 'Hidden' Coredemptrix of St. Alphonsus
While many know St. Alfonso Maria de Liguori for his spiritual devotions, few have accessed the 'Steel' of his Dogmatic Works. In a newly revealed passage from the original Italian Opera Dogmatica (Page 467, n. 9), the Doctor of the Church provides a crystalline legal defense of the title Coredemptrix.
Explore the 'Mind's Science' behind the title that the Holy See is sworn to defend. This research, curated by our 'Living Library' (Fr. F, C.Ss.R.), bridges the gap between Baroque legal logic and Catholic Dogma.

When The Cross demolished the Swastika: The Excommunication of the Nazi Party
In historical and religious discussions, it is often asserted that the Catholic Church did not do enough to oppose the National Socialist movement. However, a study of the "fruits" of the era reveals a clear, formal stance taken by the Church well before the outbreak of the Second World War. Visit our History Page

Who are the Redemptorists?
The Redemptorists
"officially named the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Latin: Congregatio Sanctissimi Redemptoris), abbreviated CSsR,[1] is a Catholic clerical religious congregation of pontifical right for men (priests and brothers). It was founded by Alphonsus Liguori at Scala, Italy, for the purpose of labouring among the neglected country people around Naples. It is dedicated to missionary work and they minister in more than 100 countries. Members of the congregation are Catholic priests and consecrated religious brothers."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redemptorists#:~:text=a%20Catholic%20clerical%20religious%20congregation,neglected%20country%20people%20around%20Naples.
Redemptorists refer to the Priests and Brothers who are members of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists, C.Ss.R.), located in Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, or Oceania.
Therefore, the Redemptorists, whether they are young or old, modern or traditional, Brothers or Priests, cisalpine or transalpine European, African, American, Asian or Oceanian, are to be found only within the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, that was founded in November 1732.
This is a truth, a seamless and living tradition of the Catholic Church, that the Holy See has never changed. "Humility is truth."
Remembering Father Théodule Rey-Mermet, CSsR, here!
Praeconium Paschale - Exsultet
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart reportedly made a profoundly humble statement about the Praeconium Paschale (more commonly known as the Exsultet)—the ancient, poetic chant sung during the Catholic Easter Vigil to bless the Paschal candle.
He is famously quoted as saying:
"I would gladly give up all my music to have written the Exsultet." ("Rinuncerei a tutta la mia musica pur di aver composto l'Exultet")

The Site
This modest site does not offer the latest news, event listings, or contact details for the Redemptorist Congregation and her beloved Priests and Brothers. Instead, it seeks to explore specific subjects with neutrality and detachment—examining facts through the lens of historical knowledge and the analytical power of AI. We do so mindful that God alone can neither deceive nor be deceived. As for the author of this site, they are but a person disfigured by sin, pride, and self-will. In the Sacred Hearts of Jesus & Mary. God bless our Pope Leo XIV.
