Cupich Posts Harsh Letter on Traditiones Custodes in “Gay, Tell”


Cardinal Blaise Cupich with Pope Francis.  The Archbishop of Chicago wants to implement his motu proprio Traditionis Custodes restrictively.

(New York) On July 21, Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, the most important diocese in the USA, reacted to Pope Francis' restrictive Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes.  Cardinal Cupich has spearheaded Francis in the US Bishops' Conference since his appointment.  Yet his first, tentative response was unexpectedly benevolent towards the communities and parishes of the tradition.  That raised hopes.  The final reaction has now been announced - and it sounds very different.

Traditionis custodes a gift?

On November 1st, All Saints' Day, Cardinal Blase Cupich published a letter in PrayTell, a website with no liturgical proximity to the traditional rite, with which he is preparing his archdiocese for a harsh, restrictive implementation of Traditionis Custodes.  The thumbscrew should be tightened.  The message can already be found in the heading, which describes Traditionis Custodes  as a “gift”.

Gift for who?

At a meeting of priests in his diocese, which he had called, the Pope's confidante described having been asked about the new motu proprio.

"They were curious to see how the Archdiocese would react and what knowledge this document could offer us all about the liturgy."

A “careful reading” reveals “the intention of the Holy Father,” said Cupich.

“Simply put, it is a matter of restoring, throughout the Church of the Roman Rite, a single and identical prayer expressing their unity, according to the liturgical books written by Popes Saint Paul VI  and John Paul II were promulgated in accordance with the decrees of the Second Vatican Council.  In other words, there are no two forms of the Roman rite, for the word 'reform' means something, namely that we leave an earlier form of the celebration of the sacraments behind and take on a new form. "

As an inappropriate comparison, Cupich uses the entry into force of the new Codex Iuris Canonici in 1983, which replaced the one from 1917.  In a legal system that is bound by the requirement of legal certainty, there can only be one applicable law for either the legal person or the legal area.  But that does not rule out that there are different legal systems in parallel.  One does not have to think of the former popular law of the Germanic tribes, according to which people who lived in the same place were subject to different laws depending on their ethnicity: Longobards to Longobard law, Franks to Franconian law, Bavarians to Bavarian law and Romans to Roman law.  This is also true today for the Latin Church and the Eastern Churches associated with it.

The catechism, too, according to Cupich, was “(updated) in 1993 with a view to the theological perspectives of the council”.  These were "reforms" that took place on the basis of the Second Vatican Council and that did not create parallelism, but replaced it.  There was also a "reform" in the liturgy, from which one can conclude:

 “With the reforms of the Code and the Catechism, the Church has left its former forms behind.  [...] Then it must also mean something with regard to the liturgical reform. "

But the comparison with the catechism is also weak, because in the doctrine of the faith a younger catechism cannot replace another in that the older one is no longer valid or even forbidden.

The Archbishop of Chicago therefore takes care not to say that the traditional rite was declared potentially abolished by Pope Francis, for in both Santa Marta and Illinois it is known that prohibiting the traditional rite is strictly impossible.  As the "intention of the Holy Father", Cupich inferred from the motu proprio that some cosmetic changes could perhaps be made to the Novus Ordo Missae, such as a stronger use of incense, Gregorian chant and silence.

The three guiding principles of Traditionis Custodes

According to the cardinal, the central message of Traditionis custodes is: In the future there will only be the Novus Ordo.

As a mandate to the bishops, he takes from the motu proprio that the faithful associated with the traditional rite are to be urged to switch to the Novus Ordo.

According to Cupich, Pope Francis was guided by three principles in Traditionis custodes:

Guiding Principle 1: The traditionalists are to blame

Following the first “guiding principle”, Cardinal Cupich also seeks the “guilty party” in the communities of tradition.  

The communities and believers of tradition are to be blamed for Traditionis Custodes.  Whoever has the damage does not need to worry about the ridicule, one might say.  Because, according to Cupich, despite “concessions” by Pope Francis, it had not been achieved to bridge the gap between the SSPX and Rome.  Rather, the promotion of the traditional rite - at this point the Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI mentioned elsewhere in the letter are not mentioned - one:

 "Movement within the Church itself" created "which obviously sows division by undermining the reforms of the Second Vatican Council by rejecting the most important of them: the reform of the Roman Rite".

Here Cupich quotes from an interview with Archbishop Augustine Di Noia, the assistant secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and makes the statement entirely his own.

Guiding principle 2: The Novus Ordo is to be recognized exclusively

The second “guiding principle” that Pope Francis moves with Traditionis Custodes is “unmistakable recognition by all Catholics that the Second Vatican Council and its reforms are not only an authentic work of the Holy Spirit, but also stand in continuity with the tradition of the Church.  This recognition means, in particular, the full acceptance that  ‘the liturgical books promulgated by Paul VI.  and John Paul II, are in accordance with the decrees of the Second Vatican Council, as the only expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite‘."

Cupich here quotes from Article 1 the most controversial part of the Motu Proprio, also in this case without reservation.

Guiding principle 3: The bishops have to enforce exclusive recognition

A third principle is "the role of the bishop as the sole moderator, promoter and guardian of the entire liturgical life in his diocese".  With the decree of Traditionis Custodes, Pope Francis returned the authority to the local bishop to regulate the use of "the earlier liturgy as an exceptional concession".  The "return" was made with a drastic restriction: the permission to use the traditional rite should only be an "exception".  This is how Cupich makes it clear in the next sentence.  "The use of rituals that arose before the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council (Missale Romanum from 1962 and Rituale Romanum from 1952) should be permitted only" as an "exception".

The restriction issued by Francis follows a clear mandate to the bishops:

“In his letter accompanying Traditionis Custodes to the bishops around the world, Pope Francis makes it clear that the local bishop has the duty to make his decision in such a way that the return to a uniform form of celebration is promoted in his diocese."

Pushing believers to the Novus Ordo

 Cardinal Cupich concludes:

“The pastoral realization of the aims of Traditionis custodes requires that we, as pastors, accompany people to understand the connection between the way we worship and what we believe, taking into account the wish of the Holy Father  it must be taken into account that the pastors lead the faithful to the exclusive use of the Reformed liturgical books. "

He describes what the Cardinal-Archbishop expects from his priests and pastors:

 “The accompaniment can take the form of visits to the faithful who regularly attend this Mass and who have celebrated the sacraments with the earlier rituals, to help them understand the essential principles of the renewal called for by the Second Vatican Council.  It should also be about showing people how the Reformed Mass gives them greater use of scriptures and prayers from the Roman tradition, as well as an updated liturgical festival calendar that includes recently canonized saints.  Accompaniment can also mean that the Reformed Mass of the Council creatively incorporates elements that people found nourishing in the celebration of the earlier form of Mass and that were already an option, e.g.  B. reverential movements and gestures, the use of Gregorian chant, Latin and incense, and longer periods of silence within the liturgy. "

Cupich, however, does not seem to notice that the believers associated with the traditional rite, due to their age alone, are no longer primarily those who did not participate in the liturgical reform in 1969, but primarily believers who grew up in the Novus Ordo and were shaped by it.  It is precisely for this reason that they have turned to tradition.  You know the Novus Ordo very well and need neither an introduction nor a re-introduction to it.

The cardinal says nothing about how he envisions the future of the communities of the traditional Rite working in his archdiocese, including the FSSP and, above all, the Canons Regular of St. John of Cracow who arose there.  Should they too be pushed to the Novus Ordo?  But the archbishop says this much: Believers should no longer have (to look after) this community.

The "man of the Pope" in the US episcopate closes his remarks with another euphemism:

“I believe we can take this opportunity to help all of our people better understand the great gift that the council has given us in reforming our worship.  I take seriously my obligation to move forward in a manner that encourages a return to a unified form of celebration in accordance with the guidelines of Traditionis Custodes, but in the meantime we must all pray, as Jesus did the night before his death,  that all may be one. "

The letter suggests that Cardinal Cupich will soon make a final decision on the implementation of Traditionis Custodes in his area of ​​responsibility, a decision that will by no means be benevolent but rather restrictive.  Because of the importance of his archdiocese in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, his decision will set the tone for other bishops in the United States.

Voris’ New Guy Pal to Take on Political Correctness at Penn State




“Pray the Gay Away.” 
Edit: the latest in artificial rage.

 [Daily Collegian] These words, plastered on large posters above the face of British alt-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, greeted visitors at Penn State’s HUB-Robeson Center on Oct. 25 — and again on Thursday. 

 Featured in prominent display cases in the HUB, tacked to poster boards, announcement forums and walls throughout campus buildings, and shared and reshared across students’ social media platforms, the posters advertise the Wednesday event by Uncensored America, one of Penn State’s student-run organizations. 

 When Penn State’s Queer and Trans People of Color Secretary Kyra Gines saw the posters for the first time, she said she thought the event was a performance or a satirical act with theatrically homophobic characters.

Fake Child Murdering “President” Encouraged by Marxist Bergoglio

 Edit: how timely that the “Pope” elected by a fraudulent Sankt Gallen Mafia cabal of aborting, Marxist, aberrosexual enabling bishops, should encourage a fraudulent fake president who pretends to be Catholic for political advantage!


ROME, Oct 31 (Reuters) - An emotional U.S. President Joe Biden, who has come away from his visit with papal backing in his conflict with conservative U.S. bishops, on Sunday praised Pope Francis for being "everything I learned about Catholicism."

Biden, the second Catholic president in U.S. history, choked up as he spoke about his late son Beau and his own feelings about the pope and Catholicism at a final news conference in Rome at the end of the G20 summit of leaders of the world's richest nations.

"This is a man who has great empathy. A man who understands that part of his Christianity is to reach out," Biden said. "He is a really, truly genuine decent man."

Battle Royal at Gathering Space



Edit: the media wants to make this into “dangerous man”. I’m not sure that’s the shot. It’s not about masks. Maybe he was complaining about the hideous architecture, the altar girls or the heretical sermon?  Hey, I thought “all are welcome” at gathering spaces?

After briefly kneeling, the aggrieved man is here accused of trespassing by the parish priest at a “gathering space” in Lakewood, Washington charged the gathering space after he was asked to leave, triggering a horde of congregants to join the melee and call for police and security. 

A clip of the incident, which has clocked up more than 560,000 views at the time of writing, shows the parish pastor, a fruity Fr. Paul Brunet, orders the man at the front of the congregation to “leave this church right now,” accusing him of “trespassing,” and calling for security. The footage was apparently filmed on Sunday at St. Frances Cabrini Parish Church in Lakewood.

As he’s attacked, you can hear a goblina telling him he’s trespassing. Probably the head of the parish council.

Bishop of Vaduz Rejects Absurd Synodal Process

 


Synodal Synod for Synodality

 From a Catholic woman:

The two-year World Synod on the Synodal Church has begun.  It should be a time of “encounter, listening and reflection”, the Pope said at the opening.  The central ideas of community, participation and mission are in the room or verbatim on a lot of paper, the Roman preparatory document and the Vademecum, the guide for the 'Synod of Listening'.  Who would not agree that dialogue and listening are good for a fruitful togetherness on a common path in the Church?

 


The dioceses of Basel, Chur and St. Gallen are all ears

But if you are still in shock over the Pope's latest motu proprio, you are wondering whether there is an inner connection between the two events.  After all, the Catholics of tradition should also be able to listen and understand.  So were they collectively under suspicion of schism in good time and the restricted to the old Mass?

In Germany in particular, Catholics loyal to the teaching office are shaped by their experiences with the so-called “Synodal Way”.  Talk of a synodal Church makes one suspicious, especially since the Roman synodal documents deliberately leave room for interpretation.  Too much dreams and creativity, innovative thinking and a Church under the signs of the times in the third millennium.  Skepticism is appropriate about such a mammoth project and its openness.  Will the much-invoked Holy Spirit "who speaks through the people of God" (Vademecum, p. 12) judge it?  Will one want to admit the one revealed truth unadulterated, although that is inconvenient and resists the ideology of contemporary cosmopolitanism and political appropriation?  Every renewal of the one Catholic Church and every evangelization must start from this truth and remain in it.  Also and especially synodal processes.  How should we understand it when “no one - regardless of their faith - should be excluded when it comes to expressing their views and experiences, insofar as this is done with the intention of seeking the Church on her synodal path  to support according to the truth ”(Vademecum, p. 13)?

So it is difficult to hope that this synod will offer a corrective to German special way [basically, ignoring Rome on Abortion, birth control and sodomy] on the level of the universal Church and can contain them, especially since the unofficially official website of the DBK sums it up:

“The German dioceses have chosen different ways to involve Catholics in the synodal process.  The time is extremely short, because by the end of the year the dioceses should prepare a document of no more than ten pages and forward it to the German Bishops' Conference, in which the respective experiences and ideas of synodality are to be described.  Many dioceses therefore fall back on existing synodal structures."

How much German “Synodal Way” will be reflected here?  Various statements and opening sermons for the Synod do not suggest anything good:

 "At the opening, the Pope said that he would not want a different church, but a church that is different," said Bishop Bode.  “We are happy to take the path there at the level of the universal Church.  For almost two years we have been intensively involved in the Synodal Way at the federal level and also at the level of our diocese.  We will contribute our experience from these processes to the world synod that is now beginning. "

Except. Wolfgang Haas, Archbishop of Vaduz in the Principality of Liechtenstein, refrains from participating not only because of the small size of his diocese, but also because he sees the danger of ideological delusion.

"I am of the opinion that in our little archdiocese, for good reasons, we can refrain from carrying out such a complex and sometimes even complicated procedure, which in our part of the world runs the risk of becoming ideologically branched."

 He refers to the “close relationships” in just ten parishes, which make quick communication and “spiritual and spiritual exchange” between pastors and lay people possible at any time.

The reform-oriented association for an open church immediately and vehemently criticized the non-participation in the synod and accused the bishop of lying:

“What has a completely new quality is that the Archbishop of Vaduz also publicly rejects the Synodal Process.  He is openly opposed to Pope Francis.  This letter is probably not only addressed to the Church in Liechtenstein, but seeks approval far beyond that - in the circles close to Wolfgang Haas (FSSP etc.).  That the church dialogue in our small country works anyway is a naked lie.  The people experience the clergy here as not very willing to talk.”

And here we come full circle.  Archbishop Haas is connected to the old Mass, which had a home in his diocese up to Traditionis Custodes in parish churches.  It is Dr.  Günther Boss, the theological advisor of the Association for an Open Church, who was a thorn in the side, and so he had already greeted the appearance of Traditionis Custodes with malicious glee towards Archbishop Haas:

“Bravo Pope Francis!  […] This affects the EBVaduz directly, as one indulges in the so-called Tridentine liturgy again in several parish churches.  [...] As I interpret it, from now on no more masses may be celebrated in the old form in the parish churches of Eschen, Triesenberg etc., because it is no longer allowed in parish churches.  Exceptions can only be given by the bishop, but not for parish churches!  But now I am curious whether one not only talks about obedience all the time, but also being obedient once in a while. "



Deacon ordination 2021 by Archbishop S. E. Wolfgang Haas in Wigratzbad

 But even without a synodal program: What Archbishop Haas writes about the Holy Spirit and the Church in his pastoral letter, which is highly recommended for reading this year, gives faithful Catholics stability and security in uncertain times:

“The Church's magisterial mouth always speaks clearly and unambiguously when it surrenders entirely to the voice of the Holy Spirit.  If he does not do this, i.e. speaks with ambiguity or a lack of clarity and thus expresses himself in an obscure manner, then he has let himself be guided by other voices that are not of the Holy Spirit.  Knowing the Christian truth of salvation, its authentic interpretation and its responsible communication, because it is linearly and continuously guided by the Holy Spirit, not 'volatile' behavior and are not subject to any kind of mutations."

Jew Economist Honored by Academy of Social Sciences


Jeffrey Sachs and Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo at a meeting of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences

 (Rome) Jeffrey Sachs, director of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Neo-Malthusian, has been promoted to full member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences by Pope Francis.

 Sachs, one of the most influential advocates of anti-natalism, i.e. population reduction (through contraception, abortion, euthanasia, sterilization, homosexualization), was admitted to the Vatican in 2015 in the course of the publication of the eco-encyclical Laudato si ’by Pope Francis.  He is a central figure in bringing the papal agenda into line with that of the UN.  More than six years ago, the former chief economist of the UN Secretary-General became a co-opted member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.

 In 2012, under the auspices of the UN Secretary General, then Ban Ki-moon, the UN Network for Sustainable Development (UNSDSN) was established in New York.  It reports to twelve working groups, including good governance, full decarbonization, global governance, gender, and population dynamics.  There is a precise intention behind every term: global governance means the implementation of a unified world government, population dynamics means population decimation.  Jeffrey Sachs, who is also the director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York, has been appointed director.  There are offshoots of the UNSDSN in almost all countries.  SDSN Germany is based at the German Development Institute in Bonn, which is financed 75 percent from the federal budget and a quarter from the state budget of North Rhine-Westphalia.  The members and partners of SDSN Germany range from the Bertelsmann Foundation to the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the Heinrich Böll Foundation, the party foundation of the Greens.  The UNSDSN is also funded with generous donations from pharmaceutical and communications companies such as British Telecom, Verizon and Ericsson and Glaxo Smith Kline and Novartis.



The UN political agenda, which is to be implemented by 2030, for which Jeffrey Sachs is responsible

 Since 2015 there has been a question in the room: What is a Neo-Malthusian doing in the Vatican?  Sachs is not the only one who has found open gates in Rome since then.  The answer was given by the man who brought Sachs into the Papal States, Curia Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, political arm of Pope Francis and Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.  Sanchez Sorondo said last February, when asked by the CNA press agency: What he said before 2012 no longer applies, "now he [Sachs] has changed".  From the mouth of a man who is himself not beyond doubt, that doesn't necessarily sound credible.  Among the "blossoms" of Sanchez Sorondo are claims such as:

 Abortion is a "consequence of climate change," which was not a slip-up;

 humanity is experiencing a “magical moment” because Pope Francis' magisterium coincides with that of the UN;

 in communist China, ecclesiastical social teaching is "best realized".

 In any case, Sachs seems to feel at home in the Vatican.  He was promoted from co-opted to full member by Pope Francis.  The Vatican press office reported yesterday:

 "The Holy Father has appointed Professor Jeffrey David Sachs, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University in New York, USA, as a full member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences."

 Only the position of Sachs ’at Columbia University is mentioned, but not his far more influential position in the implementation of the political UNO agenda.  This includes the intention of bringing abortion to the last corner of the earth, as US President Joe Biden put it in his government program.

 Since 2015, Sachs has become a “regular guest” of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences and other Vatican events.  In 2019/2020, despite Corona, he took part in at least six conferences hosted by the Holy See.  The subjects covered ranged from business and health to ethics and education.  The weight he has in Santa Marta was shown when he was appointed by Pope Francis to participate in the Amazon Synod in 2019, where he beat the drum for the climate agenda.

 In addition, Msgr. Sanchez Sorondo's assertion about Sachs does not apply at all.  He is still anti-natalist and repeated to Reuters in October 2019, at the time when the Amazon Synod was in session, that the birth rate should be reduced, which should be done by “training girls” and “bringing women into working life”.  “That applies to every country, to every religion,” says the man who is a central figure behind the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which, according to the UN, should be implemented globally by 2030.  The range of actions of the anti-natalists is not limited to the points mentioned by Sachs.  It is extremely diverse, manipulative and cruel.

Does the Congregation of Divine Worship Really Regret the Harshness of Traditionis Custodes?


 Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz: Poland's bishops also spoke about Traditionis Custodes in Rome.

(Rome) Poland's bishops are on ad limina visit to Rome. They discussed with the implementation of the Motu proprio Traditionis Custodes with the Congregation of Divine Worship. The Archbishop of Warsaw thinks that he heard regrets about the harshness of the Motu Proprio.


The Polish bishops were divided into four groups for the prescribed visit, of which the third group had just finished their visit to Rome. During their visit to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Order of the Sacrments they discussed there and the Motu proprio Traditionis Custodes. The interlocutor of the bishops had also conceded the harshness of Traditionis Custodes. This was reported by Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz, the Archbishop of Warsaw, in an interview with the Polish Catholic press agency KAI, which was published yesterday. In addition, it was confirmed to the bishops that Rome had instructions published for the application of Traditionis Custodes.


The Cardinal said when asked about what was discussed when visiting the Congregation of Divine Worship, stressed that "the discussion very interesting about the Tridentine liturgy. The bishops asked the representatives of the congregation "questions, in particular about whether the parish churches in which this liturgy could possibly be continued, as well as expanding the possibility of celebrating it according to the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes, should such a need arise in Poland in the future."


“On the one hand, the Congregation acknowledged that the matter had been handled too harshly and, in individual cases, could lead to abandonment of the Church because his needs were not being met instead of serving unity. On the other hand, a willingness was expressed to interpret the motu proprio broadly, more in the spirit than in the wording of the enacted law. We are waiting for the promised guidelines on this topic. "

Cardinal Nycz added that the Holy See wanted to place the matter with the celebration of the traditional Rite "under control", but "not say 'no' to the Tridentine liturgy as such." The Holy See is "careful because in some countries of the world it is linked to an anti-Conciliar ideology that the Second Vatican Council rejects."

The general suspicion of “ideologizing”, under which Pope Francis placed the traditional Rite, is spreading, as Cardinal Nycz's statements show. According to Traditionis Custodes, anyone who wants to celebrate in the traditional Rite, priests who have not yet done so, or new priests, must undergo an attitude test. In its history, the Church has only known such things in connection with heresies. This accusation does not, however, apply to tradition.


Whether there are guilty feelings at the Congregation of Divine Worship is indeed in doubt, because while the contrast with Traditionis Custodes contrast is so hard,  especially in view of the new congregation leadership. Ultimately this just points out the insistence that there is an alleged "problem" that the Motu proprio Summorum Pontificum by Benedict XVI. had been used in an “ideological way”.


That sounds more like crocodile tears.

Former President of Catholic Doctors Association Says Ban on Oral Communion and Holy Water “Excess of Caution”


Former president of the International Association of Catholic Doctors' Associations calls for an end to the Church’s Corona measures.

The former president of the international association of Catholic doctors considers oral communion and holy water to be harmless and criticizes the Church's Corona measures: "Maybe it was an excess of caution".

Since the beginning of the alleged Corona pandemic, practically all bishops in the world have de jure or de facto prescribed Communion in the hand as the only form of receiving Communion.  For more than a year and a half you have been violating current Church law and liturgical provisions.  These provide for oral communion as the only proper form of receiving Communion, while [sacrilegious]  hand Communion is also permitted as an extraordinary form in the Novus Ordo, and this has only been possible since the early 1970s.  In some countries, Communion in the hand was only approved by the local bishops' conference a few years ago.

With the allegedly necessary measures to contain the Corona virus, Pope Francis turned everything upside down, because the local bishops' conferences largely followed the Roman model.  Communion in the mouth was forbidden and Communiom in hand, which was only permitted in addition, was imposed on the faithful.

The Pope and the bishops stood not only against canon law, but also against science.  Even 19 months after the coercive measures were introduced, there is no scientific evidence to support them.  What is there are conflicting opinions.  In the worst case it can be said that there is no scientific knowledge that[sacrilegious]  Communion in the hand is safer than Communion on the tongue.  If one follows voices from the Catholic medical profession, Communion on the tongue is safer than Communion in the hand.

The fact is, an unknown number of Catholics who do not accept Communion in hand for reasons of reverence have been excluded from the sacrament of the Eucharist for 19 months.  Neither Pope Francis nor other bishops seem to care.  They seem unaware of the suffering some believers experience during these months.  Since there is hardly any viral load to be found and almost only "fully" vaccinated people are hospitalized (even if this fact is hushed up in some countries as much as possible), a number of Corona measures have been canceled by some bishops' conferences, the meaningfulness of which was, that from the beginning  there were considerable doubts.  The ban on Communion on the tongue still applies.  In some areas, it is even the only Corona measure that is still in force.  And priests are still relentless and refuse oral Communion to the faithful.

In an article, José Maria Simón Castellví, the former president of the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations (FIAMC), draws attention to this situation and suggests that it be ended:

 “Communion in the mouth and Communion on the knees are safe because the hands of the Eucharist giver can always be disinfected in the event of contact with the lips of the Communicant.  Maybe that was an excess of caution. "

The Catalan doctor regrets that "one of the side effects of the Covid-19 pandemic was the almost complete abolition of the use of holy water in the Church".  He complains that "now that the Covid epidemic has already subsided in Europe, there is not the slightest sign of a revival of this very important element in the life of Christians.  It seems that we have come to terms with the minimal expression of the life of piety.”

José Maria Simón Castellví recalls that "the use of holy water does not transmit Covid".  It has been known for many months that surface transmission is negligible.  The former FIAMC chairman referred to José Luis Jiménez Palacios, professor of chemistry and environmental science at the University of Colorado and one of the world's most renowned researchers in the field of aerosol research, who had stated that “to date not a single case of surface transfer of Covid-  19 could be proven ".

The removal of the holy water from the churches was therefore an exaggeration of zeal that was neither sensible nor justified.

 “We can safely return to good habits,” concludes Simón Castellvì.

Cardinals Respond to Traditiones Custodes by Consecrating Priests in Immemorial Mass of All Ages

Cardinal Müller ordained a monk from Le Barroux as a priest in the traditional rite.

[katholisches] Two well-known cardinals have offered the priestly ordination in the Immemorial Mass of All Ages during these months.  Cardinal George Pell consecrated two Benedictines from Nursia and Cardinal Gerhard Müller one Benedictine from Le Barroux.  Both consecrations are a signal to want to defend the Rite and the communities associated with it against the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes.  A new website also provides up-to-date information on the effects of Traditionis Custodes on the dioceses.  An initial balance can be drawn.

Cardinal George Pell, innocent [?, not exactly], sprung from an Australian prison after thirteen months, ordained Dom Augustine Wilmeth of South Carolina and Dom Bernard Baca of Louisiana as priests in September.  Both belong to the traditional Benedictine monastery of Nursia in Italy, which was founded in 2000.



 Cardinal George Pell with the two monks of Nursia whom he ordained priests

Cardinal Gerhard Müller, Bishop Emeritus of Regensburg and Prefect of the Roman Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was dismissed "in a minute" by Pope Francis in 2017, consecrated a monk of the ancient Benedictine abbey of Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux in Vaucluse, France, founded in 1978 by Dom Gérard Calvet.  The abbey is currently headed by Dom Louis-Marie de Geyer d'Orth.

The consecration took place a few days before the publication of Traditionis Custodes.  Cardinal Müller bluntly criticized the motu proprio three days after it appeared in a comment for the US publication The Catholic Thing:

 “Without the slightest empathy, one ignores the religious feelings of the - often also young people - participants in the masses according to the Missal of John XXIII.  (1962).  Instead of taking in the smell of the sheep, the shepherd hits them vigorously with his staff.  It also seems simply unjust to abolish the celebrations of the 'old' rite just because it attracts some problematic people: abusus non tollit usum. "

The cardinal went even further and contradicted the papal interpretation of the axiom lex orandi - lex credendi (rule of prayer - rule of faith) as the uniformity of the liturgical rite.  With this axiom, the Church was concerned with the substance of the sacraments, but not with the liturgical rite, of which there were several in the time of the Church Fathers.

Above all, the behavior of Francis towards the "traditionalists", who in the missal of Paul VI.  refuses to measure up to his determination to put an end to the innumerable “progressive” liturgical abuses, often blasphemous.  The German cardinal explicitly mentioned the "paganization of the Catholic liturgy".  A "mythologization of nature, the deification of the environment and the climate as well as the spectacle of the Pachamama" are probably "rather counterproductive for the restoration and renewal of a dignified and orthodox liturgy that reflects the fullness of the Catholic faith."

The ordinations by the two cardinals Pell and Müller in the Traditional Rite can be seen as a strong symbol in defense of the Immemorial Mass and the communities associated with it.

The balance sheet for the first three months since TraditionisCustodes came into force is nevertheless sobering.  In the countries where the traditional Rite is most firmly anchored, the bishops have largely kept quiet.  This is not the case everywhere.  The traditional rite was banned in 25 dioceses and partially banned or restricted in a further 33 dioceses.

A specially set up website Traditioniscustodes.info publishes the respective decisions in the dioceses, as far as they exist, with reference to the source.  So far there have been reports from 238 dioceses.  Accordingly, Traditionis Custodes has made the situation worse in every fourth diocese.

It could've been worse if he hadn't been "vaccinated."

 Yiddish speaker Colin Kernel Powell passes from complications of Covid-1984.


Powell appears with Aunt Bee to diss Donald Trump on CNN




It's quite fun watching the media scramble to explain how rare it is for people to die of Covid if they're "fully vaccinated."   Meanwhile, Portugal and Sweden are banning Israeli passport holders (among the world's most vaccinated) because they're spreading Kung Flu.   This is about anti-Semitism as much as the Southwest Airlines sickout was about weather.







Evil Tranny Wants to Occupy and Rename Notre Dame

“Paul” Preciado


Edit: it’s nothing short of hypocritical that this mentally deranged and degenerate person is expressing outrage about the victimization of children when he/she/it is a disciple of the notorious pederast, Michel Foucault. 

It wouldn’t be shocking if he were Jewish, now, would it?

[Valeurs] On October 5, as reported in a previous article, the former vice-president of the Council of State, Jean-Marc Sauvé, published a report concerning child crime in the Church.  According to information from La Croix, the said document, ordered in 2018, highlights shocking figures as to the number of victims recorded between 1950 and 2020. A number which could rise, in France, to 330,000 people.  It is in this context that Paul B. Preciado, a Spanish writer and philosopher formerly named Beatriz Preciado, published an article in Mediapart on Tuesday, October 12.  There he/she/it developed in particular his/her/its wish to see the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris be withdrawn from the Church by the French State ... So that the space is transformed "into a center of reception and research feminist, queer, trans  and anti-racism and the fight against sexual violence ”.

 "Moral possession and symbolic domination"

According to him, this center could then be baptized "Our Lady of survivors of child crime".  Which, in his own words used in the pureplayer, is by no means "blasphemy", but rather "a revolution".  In the same article, Paul B. Preciado goes on to argue that "the process of bodily and cognitive emancipation which is taking place these days involves the deepening of the separation between Church and State".  For him, while it is true that the Church no longer owns all these buildings, "she retains moral possession and symbolic domination of spaces".  However, argues the philosopher, these should belong to citizens, as well as to "victims of ecclesiastical sexual violence".

 Towards "a process of impeachment of the Church"?

Also in Mediapart, the writer analyzes sexual violence as "a systemic practice of the ecclesiastical institution".  He then referred to a "Christian tradition lauded by the far right as the foundation of Aryan Europe", before shortly after criticizing "a tradition of masculinism, racism and sexual abuse of children and women".  And to conclude, in these terms, to summarize his way of thinking: "If sexual crime is not an accident, but the very architecture of the power of the ecclesiastical institution, then it is necessary to demand a process of  dismissal of the Church ”.

Pushing back against the vax mandates

A very special thank you to the Patrick Coffin Show for this. 

 
Too many points to mention, but have you ever known a vaccine that you can get at CVS or Piggly-Wiggly, but your doctor won't give it to you?
Or. why is a Colorado hospital not allowing an unvaxxed kidney donor to give a life saving organ to an unvaxxed recipient?

Capuchin Friars Take Out 5G Towers

 The two wanted to protect the population from the harmful effects of the 5G network, which a spokesman for the monastery considers a worthy motive.

Lyon (kath.net/LifeSiteNews/mk) Two Capuchin friars are said to have tried to light up two 5G antennas a few weeks ago near Lyon, France.  The first antenna was damaged, which even caused temporary disruptions at Orange, and on the second offense, the monks were arrested by the police.  They belong to the Capuchin monastery in Villié-Morgon, which is close to the SSPX and which also houses their former district superior, Father Régis de Cacqueray.

 The two monks were brought before the judge for "vandalism and attempted arson" and are now under judicial supervision until their criminal proceedings.  They defended themselves in court by saying that they wanted to protect the population from the harmful effects of the 5G network.  The local mayor described the matter as sad, especially since there is a chapel adjacent to one of the antennas.  The superior of the monastery was also “astonished and saddened”.  Another spokesman for the monastery called the act a youthful error and emphasized the worthy motives: "These waves are very harmful to human health, and they wanted to do something good for humanity."

 Many suspect that 5G could be harmful to health, and some scientists have also raised serious concerns about increased cancer risk and genetic damage.  The competent French authority recently said that there was no evidence of health impairments.

Bishop Accepts Responsibility for Covering Up Sex Abuse — Bergoglio Won’t Accept Resignation

Hamburg / Rome.  The Archbishop of Hamburg, Stefan Heße, appeared in front of the cameras on March 18 with a serious expression and offered to resign.  A few hours earlier he had been incriminated by the expert Björn Gercke.  On behalf of Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki, Gercke had investigated whether those responsible for the Archdiocese of Cologne had covered up the sexual abuse of children by priests in the past.

One of the people in charge who had been checked by Gercke was Heße, formerly head of personnel and then vicar general (head of administration) in Cologne.  The result: Gercke accused Heße of breaching duty eleven times.

Heße then declared: “I have to and want to accept the consequences from my actions at that time and ultimately also from the breaches of duty I am accused of.”  But that will not happen now: Because Pope Francis does not accept the resignation.  Hesse remains in office.

Pope: Mistakes are not intentional 

It is not as if the Pope doubts Gercke's research results.  No, he too sees “deficiencies in the organization and functioning of the Archbishop's General Vicariate as well as personal procedural errors from Hesse”.  However, the investigation did not show that these errors were "committed with the intention of covering up cases of sexual abuse".  So the Pope says: Hesse made mistakes - but it wasn't on purpose.

The effects of this decision on the Catholic Church in Germany are likely to be enormous.  Not only the reform movement “We are Church” is now wondering “why people in Church leadership services are then held accountable at all.” The canon lawyer Thomas Schüller criticizes: "This is a slap in the face for the victims of sexual violence, because they have to gain the impression again that no one will be held accountable for their misconduct."

The theologian Daniel Bogner speaks of the “unreasonable”: “The fateful signal is that the reason for the resignation is not regarded as so serious.” This prevents a public official from facing up to his responsibility and this through a publicly visible step such as  document a resignation.  "This is very bad news for a religious community in whose message the individual person and their conviction of conscience are very important."

The procedure is reminiscent of the decision on Cardinal Marx

The Pope's actions are reminiscent of his decision in June to also refuse the resignation of the Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx.  The two cases are different.  In contrast to Heße, Marx was not personally accused, he rather wanted to take on responsibility for the system, as it were.  Since Marx is seen by many German Catholics as an enlightener and innovator, the Pope's decision at the time could still be seen as support for a reform course.

Bergoglio Appoints Bologna School Disciple as Master of Ceremonies


Don Diego Ravelli, the Pope's new master of ceremonies, with Francis.

(Rome) Next Sunday, Pope Francis will consecrate his previous master of ceremonies Guido Marini as bishop.  On August 29th, Marini was appointed Bishop of Tortona in Liguria by Francis.  The "most modern" of the previous Masters will be his successor.

Yesterday the Holy See announced the appointment of Marini's successor as the Pope's Master of Ceremonies.  Don Diego Giovanni Ravelli assumes this position.  Ravelli has been the ceremonial officer in the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of the Pope since 2006, appointed by Pope Benedict XVI.  He had already been called in by the then master of ceremonies Piero Marini as an auxiliary MC.  The appointment as ceremonial took place under the leadership of Piero Marini.  Ravelli is therefore also considered to be the “most modern” among the ceremonies.  What is meant is that he is closer to the style of his teacher Piero Marini, a Bugnini student.  This style is seen as “sober” and, above all, not associated with any attachment to liturgical tradition.  As early as 2017, Ravelli was under discussion as a possible successor to Guido Marini.  An appointment date has even been passed around, December 7th of that year.  Four years later, the time has come.

Don Ravelli comes from the Archdiocese of Milan.  He was ordained a priest in 1991 for the Priestly Association of Priests of the Crucified Jesus.  In 1998 he was called to the Apostolic Alms Administration.  His incardination in the suburbicarian diocese of Velletri-Segni should also fall during this time.  He also studied pedagogy at the Pontifical Salesian University.

He studied liturgical sciences at the Pontifical Athenaeum Sant’Anselmo, where he received his doctorate in 2010.  In liturgical questions there is no getting around Sant’Anselmo under Pope Francis.

In 2013 he was appointed office manager of the Apostolic Alms Administration by Pope Francis.

Don Ravelli has been papal master of ceremonies since yesterday and is therefore also responsible for the papal choir of the Sistine Chapel.

In 2019, Pope Francis incorporated the choir, which organizes the papal liturgical celebrations musically, into the Office for the Pope's liturgical celebrations.

Also yesterday the Vatican diplomat Don Cristiano Antonietti, Nunciature Secretary who works in the General Affairs Department of the State Secretariat, was appointed Papal Ceremonial.  It takes up the space vacated by Ravelli's promotion.

Jews Fear Columbus and Men Like Him

The Tomb of Saint Cristoforo in Seville



Edit: don’t be ashamed of the achievements of your ancestors just because a few outsiders who want you dead and your children enslaved want to disparage him like the demons they are.

Christopher Columbus was an intrepid man of action who bore Christ over the Atlantic to savage people enshrouded in the savagery of murder and darkness. Despite many setbacks his faith didn’t waver and he returned to his mission four times.  We owe him a great deal. 

There was a cause for canonization set up at Vatican I and the same people who want you dead objected to it then. Don’t let these small hats destroy your heritage and religion!

Wildcat strike at low frills carrier?

If you've ever had the misfortune of riding on this airline, you got herded into the plane like cattle.   I don't think chartering a private jet is an option for these travelers.  What's going on here?   Their employees are well compensated and they've never experienced a work action, legal or illegal.  These pilots and co-pilots have their health scrutinized twice a year.   No pilot with a valid medical certificate has died of Covid.   The same can't be said of those who took the jab.
