US Navy Launches New Class of Sex Predator Ships

Edit: it might be funny, but it’s gallows humor. The US Navy has launched a new Sex Predator Class of Oilers will be tasked with aiding the fight to keep sex trafficking of minors open on the high seas! 

Early in US history, the US Navy fought to stop sex trafficking of European females and children to the Barbary States in two successful wars, but things have changed obviously.

While Russia is naming its warships after Saints and Archangels, the United States is now naming its ships after Jewish sex predators. Wow!

I’m pretty sure Milk was kicked out of the navy for abusing his officer status for sexual favors. It’s the kind of person he was. He eventually got what he deserved. Too bad he wasn’t hanged by the community of San Francisco instead of being murdered by a fellow libtard who ate too many twinkies.

[Western Journal] A Navy ship named after a gay politician slain in 1978 was christened in San Diego on Saturday. 

The USNS Harvey Milk, a replenishment oiler, is named after slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk and is part of a group of ships named for civil rights leaders, according to KSWB-TV.

Transgender activist Paula Neira led the formal christening ceremony.

Saint John’s Abbey Offers Fake Apology

Edit: this is the latest narrative spawned by Marxist news media about the Church’s alleged crimes in the past. 

After the hoopla has died down, and the Church’s reputation has suffered, American Indians will continue to have low life expectancy rates and generally poor outcomes no matter what. Reducing the Church’s presence in their lives will only make things worse for them. It won’t matter how many families are destroyed by the gambling addictions inspired by the presence of their casinos, either.

After the fake apology, Saint John’s will continue supporting the globalist religion, promoting consciousness about racism, and other Jewish Masonic lies.

In case anyone takes objection to whether or not the Modernist Monastery is or isn’t Catholic, one only needs to look at their history of preying on students and even young monks, or worse, promoting liturgical abuse and Marxism for more than a century.  Of course, the Benedictines of Collegeville today don’t believe what the Benedictines who founded the place believe. Imagine funding and promoting an organization on your campus that promotes sodomy! Sounds like they’re grooming the students. 

WHITE EARTH NATION, Minn. — American Indian children from White Earth Nation and other reservations were sent to boarding schools across the country, starting in the late 1800s. The federal government used the schools to separate Native children from their families, culture and language, part of an effort to assimilate American Indians into white society.

There were at least 16 Indian boarding schools in Minnesota, most operated by religious orders. Many children were deeply traumatized by physical and sexual abuse, punished for speaking their language and stripped of their culture.

“There was a lot lost at that time — loss of culture, loss of identity,” said Joe LaGarde, a White Earth tribal elder. “And that’s all a part of how you take a person’s land. You take away their identity. Once they lose that, it’s a lot easier to deal with them.”

Bishop Vodeholzer Visits Family Plot of Ratzinger Family

In June 2020, Pope emeritus Benedict XVI.  probably last visited this grave of his parents and his sister when he said goodbye to his seriously ill brother Georg Ratzinger.

Diocese of Regensburg (kath.net) The Regensburg bishop visited the family grave of the Ratzinger family on All Souls Day (photo) and prayed there.  In June 2020, Pope emeritus Benedict XVI.  probably last visited the grave of his parents Joseph and Maria and his sister Maria when he said goodbye to his seriously ill brother Georg Ratzinger, who died shortly afterwards.  The Ratzinger family grave is located in the Ziegetsdorf cemetery, near the former home of the future Pope Joseph Ratzinger, who lived in it during his time as a dogmatic professor in Regensburg.  The papal brother Georg Ratzinger was not buried in this grave, but in the foundation grave of the Regensburger Choir in the Lower Catholic Cemetery in Regensburg (see link).

Before visiting the graves, Bishop Voderholzer had celebrated a pontifical High Mass in the parish of Ziegetsdorf.  The two feast days of All Saints' Day and All Souls Day, the bishop said in his sermon according to a press release, would be an occasion to reflect on what we as Christians believe in relation to the “so-called” last things.  The essence of religion is to give an answer not to the question of how I behave correctly in this life, what is good and what is bad, where does everything come from, what it makes sense, but what it all ultimately amounts to, explained Bishop Rudolf.

If religion wants to be the answer, the answer to the ultimate questions of our human existence, then above all it must also give an answer to the reality towards which life tends with inexorable inevitability, death: “Only death gives weight to life, to every decision  before that seriously, death makes life unique.  And yet we experience death as threatening, as destructive.  The answer of our faith is closely connected to Jesus Christ,” emphasized Bishop Voderholzer.

Heaven, Hell and Purgatory are personal categories and do not primarily describe a place, but a relationship, the diocesan bishop continued.  Heaven, let that be communion with God, being allowed to see God face to face.  Definitely safe in eternal love.  That, said the bishop, will exceed all of our expectations, hopes and longings.  Hell can only be the voluntary and definitive rejection of God.  It is not hot [yes it is] there, but ice cold because there is no spark of love there.  One can only hope that the heart of the most disappointed sinner still has a little glow of love that the Spirit of God can kindle to a new fire.

Purgatory, explained Bishop Rudolf, belongs as a phase of preparation for the side of heaven.  It is the intermediate state in which a baptized Christian who has died in the state of grace, but who is still burdened by the consequences of his guilt, is cleansed of all the “dross” of sin.  “This fire is healing and necessary.  According to the English theologian John Henry Newman, we long for it even when we meet the holy God, in whose presence heaven exists.  He created us, he knows us by name, he has written our names in his heart, and so we also recommend the deceased of the past year to him by calling up their names now,” said Bishop Dr.  Rudolf Voderholzer in conclusion.

Old Liberal Satanic Primate of England’s Thoughts on Traditiones Destructes

 Edit: apparently, Benedict didn’t authorize the tremendous growth in the people participating the Mass of All Ages.

Unjust and ambiguous laws don’t bind.

A July 28 letter of Westminster Cardinal Nichols to Archbishop Roche, the Prefect of the Liturgy Congregation, has been leaked to Gloria.tv (below).

Liturgical Screwtape Letters

[Gloria.tv] It contains six questions regarding the application of Traditionis Custodes. Nichols asked:
- whether following-up documents on TC will be issued;
- whether TC abrogates the celebration of the other sacraments and the Roman Breviary;
- whether the Novus Ordo calendar must be imposed on the Roman Rite;
- what translations must be used for Roman Rite readings;
- who exactly constitutes a Roman Rite “group” (TC);
- whether TC allows for Roman Rite Requiems according to the 1971 Agatha-Christie indult.

Nichols mentions a canonical interpretation of TC presented by The Latin Mass Society whose raison d’être is the promotion of the Roman Rite (“obviously this is not in accord with the mind of the Holy Father”), and other similar groups (FSSP, Institute of Christ the King). Nichols asks how to deal with them.

Roche’s August 4 reply insists that the use of the Roman Rite is “by way of exceptional concession” and that TC wants a “return” to the [failed] Novus Ordo.

For him, TC allows “pastoral prudence” for “a very limited time only.” He alleges that Summorum Pontificum was “misinterpretated” which caused a “growth” that was “not sanctioned” by Benedict XVI.

Noteworthy is Roche’s anti-Vatican II statement that a greater autonomy of diocesan bishops in liturgical matters was “unhelpful,” thus, Francis disempowered them.

He writes that TC speaks only about the Roman Mass and asks Nichols to consider changes of the calendar “very carefully.” Translations used in the Roman Rite should be taken from the [often manipulated] translations used for the Novus Ordo, and “groups" are for Roche personal parishes and stable congregations.

He doesn’t know about an indult allowing for Requiem Masses and if it would exist, TC had abolished it. After so much legalism and rigidity, Roche states that “this is a moment which demands of pastors a delicacy of care and direction.”

He contradicts Benedict XVI by claiming that Paul VI “abrogated” the Roman Rite which is “at variance with Conciliar reform,” and encourages “an ecclesiology that is not part of the Church's Magisterium.” In other words: For Roche the Vatican II ideology as a new religion.

Roche indulges in clericalism by insisting that the canonical interpretation of TC presented by The Latin Mass Society – which is run by laypeople – “has no standing whatsoever and should not be published as an authorative commentary”- because “the bishops alone” [who were disempowered by Francis] oversee the liturgy.

A British insider commented to Gloria.tv that Cardinal Vincent has been feeding softball questions to Roche and is playing with him “the good cop bad cop routine seen on TV.”

Secret Police Ransack Project Veritas Offices — Secret Biden Diary!!

 

Edit: dear diary, I just found out today that there’s a diary that implicates the fake president of sexually abusing his daughter. 

The Secret Police are looking very closely at Project Veritas.

Imagine my shock that Pedo Biden is so closely connected to Bergoglio Crime Syndicate.

Even Faux News is up on this!

[Faux News] Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe offered a blistering response to the reported FBI raids that have been conducted against associates of the guerilla news outlet over the missing diary of President Biden's daughter. 

The New York Times broke the story on Friday that Biden's DOJ searched two locations in New York in search of a "stolen" diary that belonged to Ashley Biden that went missing just days before the 2020 presidential election.

Degenerate Students at Evil Benedictine Abbey Keep Score in Sex Olympics in Their Dorm

Saint John’s and Saint Benedict Students of Law?

Edit: Saint John's University is a faux-Catholic school in an increasingly vague connection to the degenerate Benedictine, Cassinese Abbey of Saint John's. It was founded in 1856 by Germans of Saint Vincent Meinrad Archabbey. It was once home of hubdreds of monks but has dwindled to 133.

What’s wrong with these circumcised bastards? What’s wrong with their parents? A lot, no doubt. What’s wrong with Saint John’s Abbey? Saint John’s University is one of the few all-male schools left, but it shares a campus with the all-girl College of Saint Benedict.  There’s really not a lot of outrage, but Saint Benedict’s girls have done some virtue signaling, and staged a walkout, I guess, a kind of Sterns County Lysistrata to protest the questioning of their spotless chastity, or something, which is being called into question by their predatory male counterparts at Saint John’s and their own consent to it.

Still, this is unacceptable and this is also a symptom of a greater problem of sexual morality and demoralization, for there are also numerous cases of credible sex abuse against monks and teachers connected to the nearby Modernist Abbey, numbering in the hundreds, but the impassive cloister walls and a battery of lawyers and collusion of law enforcement, alumni, parents who waste their money on tuition, leave this evil place immune to the effects of these scandals. We also know of no effort on the part of the Bergoglio Mafia to send a visitor. Saint John’s Modernist Abbey must not be Catholic, must not have a missionary impulse or exhibit a Catholic morality, so the aberrosexual sex predators, liturgical abuse and predatory fundraising must be OK. In fact, Team Bergoglio degenerates like the extremely effeminate +++Cupich and the evil Andrea Grillo are contributing articles to the Abbey’s withering Gay, Tell blog headed by sex predator and liturgical vandal, Anthony Ruff.

Still no sign of Josh Guimond who disappeared here in November 9, 2002.

The bereaved father has filed a lawsuit in March of 2021!

 

[Bring Me The News] The College of St. Benedict and St. John's University are investigating reports of a competition among some Johnnies students to have the most sexual encounters with specified Bennies.

Will Schwinghammer, editor-in-chief of CSB/SJU's student newspaper The Record, broke the story, describing a "sex competition" being run by male students from St. Patrick Hall. The story says there is a list of female students, with Johnnie participants potentially able to earn points for certain things. When the existence of this competition reached school officials, they arranged a floor meeting for residents to discuss the impact of this type of behavior, the paper reported.

CSB/SJU, in a statement to Bring Me The News, said they learned about these allegations in late September, and since then have been "actively addressing" the situation. That includes working with "trained investigators to determine the responsible parties."

"We are committed to creating and maintaining an environment in which all members of the community are aware of and respect the rights and human dignity of every other member," the statement continued, noting cases that rise to potential criminal behavior would be reported to local law enforcement.

At this point, CSB/SJU does not have any indication of sexual assault or violence linked to the competition, the spokesperson said.

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."

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."
