Archbishop Viganò to Traditional Catholics: Stay and Fight

By David Martin 

Catholic Family News (CFN) recently reported that His Grace Carlo Maria Viganò sent a letter to CFN in reply to weighty questions that their contributor Stephen Kokx respectfully posed in his article, “Questions for Viganò: His Excellency is Right about Vatican II, But What Does He Think Catholics Should Do Now?” 

In his reply, Archbishop Viganò made it clear that Catholics must separate themselves from the conciliar revolution of Vatican II. "No admixture is possible with those who propose adulterated doctrines of the conciliar ideological manifesto," he said, adding that "being living members of the Church of Christ does not imply adherence to the conciliar team." 

Viganò demonstrates true pastoral care in saying this since opposing Vatican II enhances our ecclesial union while dignifying the Council diminishes it. According to Viganò, traditional Catholics must remain in the Church while modernists must leave. 

                                            

“It is not the traditional faithful – that is, true Catholics, in the words of Saint Pius X – that must abandon the Church in which they have the full right to remain and from which it would be unfortunate to separate; but rather the Modernists who usurp the Catholic name.”

On that note, Viganò warns against using the modernist infestation of the Church as an excuse to leave the Church. “Let us not give in to the temptation to abandon – albeit with justified indignation – the Catholic Church, on the pretext that it has been invaded by heretics and fornicators: it is they who must be expelled from the sacred enclosure, in a work of purification and penance." 

While Vigano’s warning comes as a rebuke to Sedevacantists who leave the Church under the pretext of orthodoxy, it also serves as a mild admonition for loyal traditionalists who abandon their parishes because of the present-day crisis in the Church. It behooves tradition-minded Catholics to hone-in on this point because leaving the parish-church framework over the modern changes is what has strengthened the modernist plan to take over the Church. We indeed must not judge the Church because it’s been “invaded by heretics” but must expel the wrong doers “from the sacred enclosure.”  

Stay and Fight 

However, this will never be done if we leave our parish churches and attend Mass at independent "side chapels." To win the battle we must remain in the arena. Hopping the ropes is not allowed nor does it edify the church. (1 Thess. 5:11) We must ‘let our light shine before men.’ (Mt. 5:16)  

The problem with many traditionalists is not their orthodoxy but the unorthodox way they advance it through independent “side-chapel” worship, since this undermines their own aspirations for the restoration of the Church. If our duty as Catholics is to restore the Traditional Mass and confront the clergy about their efforts to secularize the Church, how shall this be done if we flee? 

This only abets the Masonic plan to drive the good Catholics from the Church. Like Christ, we must go in there and expel the wrong-doers and work to restore tradition from within, the reason being it is God's House. The Novus Ordo Mass is valid, despite its many defects, and Viganò would be the first to tell us that.   

Foolish Arguments 

The argument that we must avoid the occasion of sin. i.e. our parish church, holds no water since the Church also teaches that we may never avoid "the necessary occasion of sin." Christ today is being profaned in His Own House by His Own priests so we do Him no service by leaving him hanging there.  

The argument that we 'contribute to the sacrilege' by staying in our parishes likewise holds no water since we are not there to join the jeering crowd but to defend Christ. Who in their right mind would say that St. John and the Blessed Virgin ‘contributed to the sacrilege’ by remaining at the foot of the cross? Their example sets the stage for all latter-day disciples. St. Athanasius and all the great defenders of the Faith have followed this example. 

Viganò Praises the SSPX 

The foregoing is said in compliment to traditionalists, especially those of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), since their faith and example of tradition are needed in the Church. Viganò in his letter praised the SSPX, saying they “deserve recognition for not having allowed the flame of Tradition to be extinguished," and said he considers Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the founder of the Society, to be “an exemplary confessor of the Faith.” 

The argument that the SSPX does not have “full communion” with Rome is unfounded. If one is baptized Catholic, holds to sacred tradition, and acknowledges the validity of the Papacy and Church in 2020 – which SSPX members do – then they have full communion with Rome, regardless of what Curial bureaucrats might say. It is Francis and his errant “Council of Nine” that need to ‘get back to Rome.’  

While tradition-minded Catholics are often accused of disobedience to ‘legitimate Church authority,’ it is today’s modernist clergy that are disobedient to God. Archbishop Viganò reminds us that “obedience cannot be perverted into stolid servility,” adding that “if it is the duty of the laity to obey their Pastors, it is even a more grave duty of the Pastors to obey God, usque ad effusionem sanguinis.”

 

Vicar General Designate of Initiates Criminal Complaint Against Author of Anonymous Letter Denouncing Him

 Diocese of Würzburg: "The reason for this is an anonymous letter to the Episcopal Ordinariate in Würzburg, among others, which, according to its statements, contains completely inaccurate allegations against him."

Würzburg (kath.net) The designated vicar general Dr. Jürgen Vorndran has filed a criminal complaint and an application of legal action after an anonymous letter against him. In addition, the Würzburg Bishop Franz Jung complied with Vorndran's request to postpone his inauguration as vicar general. In a press release the diocese of Würzburg writes: “The reason for this is an anonymous letter to the Ordinariate in Würzburg, among others, which he claims contains completely inaccurate accusations against him. These are currently being checked by the responsible Church and state authorities. ”More details about the content of the letter are not yet known."

Vorndran was just elected dean by the cathedral chapter in May 20. So far he has been pastor of the parish community of Würzburg city center and dean of the dean of Würzburg City.

Corona Deaths in Sweden Far Less Than New York — Sweden Had No Lockdown

[Ice Age Now] “In Sweden, daily corona deaths are now close to zero. The overall mortality rate is in the range of earlier strong flu waves. Even the monthly peak mortality (in April 2020) remained below the strong flu waves of the 1990s.” https://swprs.org/facts-about-covid-19/

“So the graph shows the cumulative deaths in Sweden since March 11?” says reader Penelope. (She’s referring to the graph here.)

“I admit to a preference for graphs showing the daily deaths, as it shows nearly zero.”

Hungarian Habsburg Ambassador to the Holy See Talks About Holy Rosary and Unity Between Catholics Online With Damian Thompson

Edit: Damian talks about the online twitter wars and the unifying role Eduard Habsburg plays on line.  

Damian also reveals, as often Catholic-leaning journalists do, their discomfort and embarrassment about Catholic practices and beliefs, like the Rosary.   In fact, I would have liked to hear His Excellency the Ambassador talk more about Hungarian politics and the role the Catholic Church plays in Hungarian society.

Damian would be a much better interviewer if he attended yearly Jesuit retreat and prayed daily rosary with his sister.

 Damian Thompson is joined by Eduard Habsburg-Lothringen, Hungary's ambassador to the Holy See. A member of one of Europe's most historically influential families, Eduard explains how his religious practices have adapted to the acceleration of new technologies, and tells Damian how the Habsburgs keep in contact.

Televangelist Skojek Scamming Catholics

No Thanks. I don’t paypig grifty frauds like Skojek.

Edit: who funds this fraud anyway? You?

According to Priests have Become Cesspools of Sin, Holy Skojek, who has a word to say about what everyone else is doing, makes $150,000 a year. Is that what his wife gives him for an allowance? We’ve just assumed that he covets the kind of compensation other nasty Neocatholic grifters like Karl Keating make.

Oh, and special thanks to Frank Walker who keeps an eye on Skojek’s more embarrassing moments on Twitter.

UK Pornography Tabloid Denigrates Anti-Covid Protest Storming Parliament in Berlin

Edit: Daily Fail regularly runs news from fake right perspective with pornography and news about celebrities. It’s one of the few venues that covers black on white violence for its older UK audience that enjoys reading about violence in the USA.

[Daily Fail] An attempt by far-right demonstrators to storm Germany's Reichstag following a protest against the country's Covid-19 restrictions has been condemned by senior officials.

Hundreds of protesters breached a security barrier and raced up the steps outside Berlin's parliament building late on Saturday before being stopped and dispersed by police.

Some of those involved had held the flag of former imperial Germany, which is used by the Reichsbürger far-right group.

Germany's president Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the use of Reich flags and right-wing provocations was 'an unbearable attack on the heart of our democracy.'

'We will never accept this.' he said.

Covid Only Accounts for 9,000 Deaths Directly

 ATLANTA, Ga. (WJW) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data last week that depicts how many Americans who have died from COVID-19 also had contributing conditions.

According to the report, only 6% of deaths have COVID-19 as the only cause mentioned, revealing that 94% of patients who died from coronavirus also had other “health conditions and contributing causes.”

The report reads in part:

Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.

Accused Priest Sues County for Receiving Report

 Edit: pathetic, really. 

DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit priest who said he was defamed by a police officer in an investigation of alleged sexual abuse has settled a lawsuit against her for $125,000.

The Rev. Eduard Perrone said he doesn't care about the money but wants to be reinstated at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, known as Assumption Grotto, a Catholic church he had led for 25 years until he was removed by the Detroit Archdiocese in 2019.

“It’s been a long, slow wait,” Perrone told the Detroit Free Press. “I’ve been ousted from my parish for 13 months, and I’m very anxious to get back.”

California Prosecuting Churches for Ignoring COVID-19 Policy

By David Martin  

The Gospel warned of that time when Christians would be "brought before governors" for their public testimony of Faith, and we see this unfolding in our time. (Matthew 10:18) 

Churches in California are now facing thousands of dollars in fines for worshiping in person against Governor Newsom’s COVID-19 lockdown policies, while pizza parlors, liquor stores, and other non-essential forms of business remain in full operation with few restrictions being imposed. Even homosexual bath houses in California are reopening to "aid in economic and cultural recovery."  

On April 13, 2020, President Trump wrote on Twitter: 

“For the purpose of creating conflict and confusion, some in the Fake News Media are saying that it is the Governors decision to open up the states, not that of the President of the United States & the Federal Government. Let it be fully understood that this is incorrect. It is the decision of the President, and for many good reasons. With that being said, the Administration and I are working closely with the Governors, and this will continue. A decision by me, in conjunction with the Governors and input from others, will be made shortly!”

If it is not the decision of governors to open up the states, how much more would this apply to the opening of churches? The opening or closing of churches is outside the state's jurisdiction in virtue of the First Amendment's Establishment Clause [Separation of Church and State] that prevents the state from infringing on the church. While state officials may advise the church, the final decision is with the church. 

What we are looking at is unveiled discrimination against religion. Newsom and deep-state Democrats want to prosecute the churches, not those who burn down the churches. They want to muzzle peaceful assembly, not those who publicly rage against America. State officials have decided who may and who may not conduct business.  

COVID-19 is simply a tool that globalists are using to shackle America, which is what the "stay home" orders are really about. Keeping people at home is an attempt to "distance" them from patriot gatherings where discussions could give birth to effective plans to stop deep-state “plandemic” designs to lock down society.  

Keeping people at home also places them in front of the TV where they are far more subject to media brainwashing about the "new normal" we're supposed to get used to. The enemy knows that when people are out of work and at home they have recourse to the TV as an outlet.  

What the enemy does not want is for Americans to be united in prayer and armed with the Gospel, so action is needed from the president that would make pastors immune to state orders to close churches and restrict worship. There is no denying the direct correlation between the closing of churches and the outbreak of violence in America, so it's high time that America drop this fuss over the “pandemic” and get back to church, lest we evolve into a police state.
