Berlin – A hobby gardener is trimming mahonia in the front yard when a man comes by and stabs her into a coma. The trial before the Berlin district court began on Tuesday.
Room 700. Accused: Abdul Malik A. (29) from Afghanistan. Since 2015 in Berlin. Apartment in Wilmersdorf. "A very nice guy," says his cousin to BILD. An insidious murderer who was prevented by others from completing his bloody work, says the Berlin Attorney General's Office.

Flashback: It's September 4, 2021, Saturday, 1:30 p.m. Regina G. (58) trims shrubs in front of her rental house at the corner of Güntzelstrasse and Prinzregentenstrasse in Wilmersdorf. Shortly there afternoon , nothing is as it was: stitches in the neck and head, coma, forever requiring nursing care. She only survived because her neighbor Klaus F. (66) interfered with the words: "Tell me, are you crazy, leave the woman alone!"

The former nurse plays the drums, and was coming from rehearsal. This is how he experienced the madness of the attack: "I see a well-dressed man in a blue caftan, blue trousers, creases. The woman is busy with the hedge trimmer in the front yard. He approaches from behind. A scream. She kneels. He is holding her hair with his right hand and a knife to her neck with his left.”
Klaus F. continues: "I shout: 'Leave the woman alone!' He looks pitiful. He drops her and comes for me. Gets the throat and larynx. I ran to the barber shop with the last of my strength and call out: 'Get the police, they want to kill a woman!'"
Klaus F. (66) stepped in and protected his neighbor from further stab wounds

The knifeman smiles. He relies on a self-defense claim: "The woman attacked me! She had big scissors. I only have a small knife for bread and melons.” The judge: “Did you mind that the woman cut flowers?” The knifeman gently: “Yes, beautiful flowers, please don't cut them, I said.” His lawyer emphasizes: “He has no problem with women!”

A police officer (49) who arrested him at the time: "He said his God had ordered the woman to be killed because she kept cutting the flowers."
Instead of being in jail, the knifeman is now behind bars in the psycho hospital. “The food is better there too,” he says with satisfaction. The judge: “The woman is paralyzed today!” The accused: “God sees everything. Mistakes happen. I'm not a terrorist. Send me back home. Or release me!”
The verdict is due to be issued on May 24th.

+++Pell’s History of Protecting Sex Abusers
Edit: Sciambra is an unfortunate creature who you can’t trust in general, but he at least strives for objectivity. His interview with John Lamont at Church Militant is particularly useful, despite his occasional and unnecessary autobiographical interjections. People think that because they’re “victims” that they have authority.
John Lamont is unusual, since he works at Church Militant and yet accuses the pope of being a heretic. What’s going on there? Unfortunately, he doesn’t talk about Pell’s other credible accusers of lurking around the pools, and doesn’t seem to think there’s a lot of evidence for Pell himself being an abuser. I don’t agree there.
Neither is Pell is a friend of tradition, according to Lamont (Pell writes an encomium on Chardin of all things) nor is he anything but a mediocre functionary.
Here are the time stamps:
00:00 Sciambra Introduces John Lamont, who works with Church Militant.
Sciambra says positive things about Voris’s showboat apostolate. Positive about CMs attacks on SSPX and FSSP.
2:43 Church Militant is the only one that takes victims’ stories seriously.
3:00 Reviews credentials starting in Canada, then as Gifford Fellow in Scotland. His book, “Defending the Church Against Present Heresies” by Arucca Press which is an attack on Bergoglio’s heresies. Wow!
5:00 hired at Sydney Seminary because he studied under a liberal peritus at Vatican II and got to know Pell.
6:20 Pell has a long history of covering up sex abuse and belongs in jail.
6:35 Discussion of Pell’s alleged exoneration by the Australian Supreme Court and Traditionalist Catholics defense of him.
8:20 Picture of Pell going to court with convicted sex offender, Gerald Ridsdale, which leads Sciambra to dig deeper.
We haven’t heard much about this in the USA.
10:00 John Lamont begins by way of an introduction of the history of the Australian Church .
10:50 Joseph Banks initiated Penal Colony in 1788 in Botany Bay with convicts and their guards. Penal colony till 1850s gold rush.
11:50 Colony was brutal for minor offenders who were slaves till the end of their terms. Protestant dominance is the colony was very cruel for Catholics.
14:00 John Bede Polding, English Benedictine who wanted a chain of monasteries, but was pushed aside by the Jesuits.
15:25 Australia is dominated by Freemasons
15:30 Canberra was planned by occultists. Wow!
16:20 Sciambra intervenes about his secrecy hobby horse.
17:00 The laity depended on the educated clergy for matters secular and spiritual.
18:00 But it’s not a bad thing, “huddling” per se, says Sciambra, but the tendency to keep things in house…. [These people always want to rationalize these things with historicism, aimed at the hierarchal nature of the Church.]
18:50 Pell’s father was a boxer who owned a pub and ran a bookie
20:30 Cardinals and bishops are singled out and Sciambra finds this very interesting.
21:00 Ballarat’s background as a mining time and Pell’s tenure there till 1975. It’s essential to understand Pell.
22:00 Bellarat is notorious. Pell first addressed sex abuse in 1974 by not doing anything about a boy who said he was abused.
23:40 14 credibly accused clergy. 850 children claimed to be abused by Christian Brothers and 30 committed suicide.
24:00 Diocese of Ballarat is a criminal organization.
24:40 Pell was a man of ambition. So he was committed to getting ahead in the organization he belonged. Use your knowledge to get ahead.
25:50 Ridsdale Royal Commission determines Pell knew about the abuse. Kerns asks Pell about Ridsdale, which Pell denies and is not found credible by Commission
26:00 Ridsdale is the worst and most sadistic abuser in Australian Church. Pell accompanied him.
28:15 Appears in court with Ridsdale to send a message. Do what I want and I’ll protect you.
30:00 Pell knew pedos were running it or had the veto, so he played that game.
30:40 Pell admits he knew about it when he sent Ridsdale to treatment in the US. Sciambra discusses Farrel who claimed he didn’t know about McCarrick. (He takes the time to take a catty shot at traditionalists)
33:10 Ridsdale’s nephew, David Ridsdale approached Pell
33:30 John Walsh accused of abuse by John Walsh, nothing happens so Pell promotes him. He’s easier to control. Ridsdale’s nephew, David, claims he was offered money. Walsh is compelled by Pell to testify, with no effect, and then causes his victim John Walsh to speak out. Gives insight on the Royal Commission being good on the Catholic Church.
36:30 Explains the Royal Commission which documents are available on line.
37:30 Explains Wollongong and mayor Frank Arkell who was bludgeoned to death by a Satanist. He and the local police and clergy were in on preying on children. https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/4095493/the-wollongong-leader-that-fell-prey-to-a-twisted-killer/
39:00 Walsh quits under duress. (After being told by Pell to lie)
39:30 Sciambra interrupts to quote Pell’s defense of appearing in public with Ridsdale. Compares it to Bergoglio’s hypocritical lies, and turns to discuss how Bishops are chosen. Pell shouldn’t have risen after his 1993 hearing at the Royal Commission, but he gets promoted. Talks about the “tone deafness” of the people deciding who gets promoted.
42:00 Talks about “Precious Little” Bishop Little who protected pedos himself.
43:00 Sciambra talks about the gravity of Ridsdale’s crimes. Talks about the “those were the times” defense people like to use, as well as an unfortunate comparison to Nuremberg.
45:50 Melbourne Response, an alleged independent commissioner who is a representative of the Church to offer a $50k payoff and NDA.
47:40 Canon which demands that clergy should be punished.
48:50 Sciambra cites from Melbourne Response that victims have the right to approach the civil authority but claims will be “strenuously defended.”
50:04 Case of John Ellis who is an attorney and victim by Adrian Duggan, who gets sued by the Church when the court decides the Catholic Church can’t be sued and they go after him to recover their legal costs of $1.5 million.
53:30 Pattern with Pell where he is brutal to abuse victims. He denies knowing about Ellis to Royal Commission, which found Pell as not credible.
58:10 Pell’s arrogance and absence of remorse.
1:01 What is the purpose of the Melbourne Response?
1:02 Vatican Bank conspiracy.
(Pell has some good traits, not completely devoid of humanity, like Pope)
1:03:30 Pell was the kingmaker of the Australian Church under JPII. Not men of principle, but those who would obey him.
1:04:20 Pell is viewed favorably by traditionalists and Neocons.
1:06 Pell is not a traditionalist, but permits them. FSSP parish dinner, a meeting on the Latin Mass which he thought was a fundraiser with lots of old people and he saw all the young people and threw away his prepared speech filled with erudite discussion on the Mass and talked about how horrible the old Mass was.
1:07:18 Old Irish Gangster
1:07:50 Traditionalists want scraps
1:08:25 Why not Vigano instead of Pell?
1:09 Fessio publishing Pell’s prison journals to raise money to cover his expenses. [Ignatius Press sucks]
1:11 The jury didn’t care about the evidence, they just saw all the dirt on Pell in addition to that.
1:12 Pell is the only Cardinal to go to prison, even though he deserved to go to prison for the things he DID do.
1:13:20 Quote from Pell saying he didn’t have much interest in the victims stories and suffering. People gasped at that during the hearing. Thug and sociopath coming out…
1:17 Picture of Saint Patrick’s Seminary with Pell and Archbishop Cordileone. He’s like a boxer who won’t go down, he’s been to jail and he’s back out swinging.
1:19 David O’Hearn now convicted of dozens of offenses. Things are so bad in Australia… Bishop Heather was caught shredding documents. Exercising sex Ed program, Bishop Vincent Long.
Caught Heather coming out of a night club which led to Heather retiring, who still appears at Australian Bishops’s Conferences.
1:22 Celeste Patterson, it’s like Dame Edna Experience skit
1:23 if Pell could have gotten to the top by burning pedos at the stake, he would have done that.
1:23:10 priests who tried to do the right thing and got “squashed”.
1:24:40 System is broken
1:24:50 Benedictine monastic system as an alternative to keep the bad ones out.
1:26 Sciambra doesn’t like top-down model. [Lame]
1:27 How do you keep your faith? Fabulous Rod Dreher couldn’t!
1:28 He plugs his book, Divine Faith. About the rational basis for the Catholic Faith
1:30:30 Religious Education Meeting in LA. They’re just corrupt mediocrities.
1:31:02 there is a narrative that’s been spun about Pell. Do your reading, Catholics!
1:32:30 Pell should have lain low for the victims he trashed. Why didn’t he go to the beach house he inherited from his mother? He built a luxurious palace for himself in Rome. Leopard can’t change its spots. I guess he and his supporters want to do their victory March.
1:34:10 Pell was accused falsely. Thinks that Pell himself wasn’t an abuser.

Thug’s Wife Plagiarized His Brother’s Work!
No Honor Amongst Thugs!
 |
| Kamalaesque word salad from Canon212 |
Edit: Thug Gordon’s wife plagiarized his brother’s work and he isn’t happy about it. Her book, Ask Your Husband, has been pulled from Tan. Here’s the cucky review from a feminist named Abigail Favale at the Old Liberal Catholic World Report, who could have been making sandwiches and instead reviewed and is also one of the first to call out Mrs. Thug on Twitter. The now deleted Twitter:
According to Canon212, Mrs. Thug issued a cease and desist against her!
It has received positive views from the now Wholly Agnostic Steve’s 1Peter5.
After 1Peter5 deleted the story, I decided to clip it and repost it here.
Was the Second Vatican Council Properly Concluded? Probably Not…
(As an aside: Black light has recently revealed that the Kabbalah was secretly copied with the filthiest and most blasphemous parts of the Talmud into the pages of the Collegeville Bible. All copies are to be assembled and used as kindling to burn all the known copies of The Remnant, because Michael Matt failed to maintain his commitment to the Social Reign of Christ the King and the Catholic Confessional State, as is evidenced by the fact that he has retreated into self-constructed, theatrical catacombs from which he digitally communicates with the cowardly. Moreover, he has failed to sufficiently condemn Rod Dreher for his apostasy to the Eastern Schismatics.)
On the other hand, it might be that formerly-“Cardinal” McCarrick, because the Vatican bureaucracy and the Italian Republic forgot to take away his keys, might also be trying to undo the astrofreezing of Pope Paul VI, because he’s bitter that at the time of the astrofreezing the Pontiff owed him about 70 Italian lira for a rent boy. Taking into consideration the unreliable banking situation in Italy and the Vatican and fluctuating interest rates, that sum might equal 900 Euros today. Little does McCarrick know, however, that the money has already been spent to ensure that Cardinal Wilton Gregory doesn’t reveal himself as the Black, transwoman, Atlanta prostitute he/she/they is. McCarrick is also bitter that he has been reduced to working as a delivery boy at Comet Ping Pong, where Pizzagate happened.
A third and more likely possibility is that Fellay’s agents and McCarrick are cooperating together. But why the urge to bring back Pope Paul VI to the scene, you might ask? The fact is, Fellay, Williamson, and the Israelis want President Trump to be declared Holy Roman Emperor by the real Pope, to lead us out of the mess of partisan politics and factionalism and into the universal peace promised by Our Lady of Fatima, but most CIA agents, virtually all non-observant Jews, the FBI, most Jesuits, half the Cardinals, and PETA do not want this, but especially to blame are the Jesuits, Jews, Masons, Communists, and Rastafarians (mostly the same people) and the Palmarians. To prevent the restoration of the Holy Roman Empire and the revelation to the world of Trump as the Holy Monarch of prophecy, former QAnon Shaman, Jake Angeli, currently a Palmarian “priest,” was planted by the CIA and Vice President Pence to orchestrate the illegal entry into the Capitol Building by Biden’s volunteers. (Clarence Thomas’s wife, Ginni, may have had something to do with it too.)
Remember that Mike Pence, “former” Catholic who attends Evangelical services, is still under the control of the modernist papacy, because all so-called former Catholics never properly abjure their former allegiance. He’s also probably a Mason from Indiana, based on the mere statistical fact of the high number of Masons per capita from Indiana. He decided to intervene on January 6, because Trump was coming very close to being declared Emperor. To that end, Trump was secretly confirmed a Catholic by Archbishop Viganò according to the traditional rite. But don’t worry about the validity of Trump’s confirmation, because Viganò conditionally received all the minor and major orders, including episcopal consecration, from Williamson himself. If Trump had been able to retain the Presidency, he might have been installed as Donald I, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire by the Pope and King Filipe VI of Spain. Unfortunately, “Fr.” Jake of the Palmarians communed with the Devil, the CIA, and Mike Pence to prevent the universal peace we all yearn for. May he burn in hell with his Satanic masters.

Saint Peter’s on March 25th: the Metaphysical Significance of an Event
The importance of consecrating Russia as desired by Mary at Fatima is of the utmost metaphysical importance.
by Roberto de Mattei
The news is official and of the utmost importance. On March 25, 2022, Pope Francis has consecrated Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. As confirmed by the head of the Press Office of the Holy See, Matteo Bruni, the Pope "invited bishops from all over the world and their priests to pray with him for peace and to consecrate and entrust Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary". On March 22, the Holy See published the text of the Consecration.
In Fatima, on July 13, 1917, Our Lady announced that God was preparing "to punish the world for its crimes, through war, famine and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father". In order to avoid this calamity, Our Lady asked for the Pope to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in conjunction with all the bishops of the world and to propagate the practice of the first Saturdays of the month, consisting of five consecutive Saturdays with to unite her, to confess and communicate, to contemplate and pray the Holy Rosary for fifteen minutes. “If My requests are accepted,” said Our Lady, “Russia will be converted and have peace; if not, it will spread its errors throughout the world and encourage wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will suffer greatly, various nations will be destroyed. Eventually, My Immaculate Heart will triumph."
After the apparitions of Fatima in 1917 there were various acts of consecration and entrustment to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, but all were partial and incomplete, although not without effect, so that as early as 1931 the Lord spoke to Sister Lucy about the failure of the Consecration of Russia, lamenting: "They would not listen to my request! Like the King of France, they will repent, and they will, but it will be too late. Russia will already have spread its errors all over the world and will bring wars and persecutions to the Church: the Holy Father will have to suffer a lot”.
In his radio message to Portugal on October 31, 1942, Pius XII. consecrated the Church and humanity to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. On July 7, 1952, Pope Pacelli himself consecrated all the peoples of Russia to the Mother of God in the apostolic exhortation Sacro Vergente Anno. Russia was expressly mentioned, but the solemn union with the Catholic bishops of the whole world was lacking. The ecumenical Second Vatican Council would have been an extraordinary opportunity to fulfill Our Lady's request. In 1965, 510 archbishops and bishops from 78 countries signed a petition asking the pope, in agreement with the Council Fathers, to consecrate the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, especially Russia and other communist-ruled nations. Paul VI however, did not comply with this request.
After being badly wounded in an assassination attempt on May 13, 1981, John Paul II attributed his miraculous protection to Our Lady of Fatima and made a pilgrimage to her Shrine on May 13, 1982, where he entrusted to Our Lady “those people and peoples and consecrated those who are particularly in need of this entrustment and consecration.” He repeated a similar dedication on March 25, 1984 in St. Peter's Square in the presence of the statue of Mary brought from Portugal. The Pope had written to the world's bishops asking them to join him, but not all have received the invitation and few have responded. On this occasion, too, Russia was not expressly mentioned, but only "the peoples whose consecration and entrustment you expect from us" was mentioned.
A third act of entrusting the Church and humanity to the Virgin Mary was proclaimed by John Paul on October 8, 2000 in front of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima in the presence of more than 1500 bishops representing the episcopacy. Benedict XVI had the Third Secret of Fatima published (the text of which is considered by many to be incomplete) and on May 12, 2010, kneeling before the image of Our Lady in the Chapel of the Apparitions of Fatima, raised a prayer of trust in Her, in which he Liberation asked "from every danger that hovers over us".
On October 13, 2013, Pope Francis pronounced the words of entrustment to Our Lady in St. Peter's Square. However, the consecration of Russia that many had been waiting for did not materialize.
On May 13, 2017, Pope Francis traveled to Fatima for the canonization of the two shepherd children Francisco and Jacinta, who died at the age of 9 and 11 and in 1917, together with their cousin Lucia dos Santos, also a child, saw and had heard the words of Our Lady. The beatification process of Lucia, who died in 2005, is in progress. But even in this case, the pope ignored the prayers of the Blessed Mother.
Today, the international scene has changed dramatically, and Pope Francis has decided to do something none of his predecessors have ever done. From 1917 to 2022, nine popes have known Fatima, and all after Benedict XV. have approved her worship. Six of them have visited the shrine, either as popes or as cardinals. Some of them, like Pius XII. and John Paul II, have shown great reverence for the 1917 apparitions. But so far none of them has fulfilled the urgent requests of the Blessed Mother. The act that Pope Francis will carry out on March 25 seems to respond to these requests and will be accompanied by an unprecedented gathering of bishops, priests and lay people. The meaning of the event is not geopolitical, but metaphysical and supernatural, because it seems to be one of those moments when the mystery of history seems to open and the light of God illuminates world events beyond the intentions of its protagonists. This is happening while Russia's bombing threatens to spread from Kyiv to the whole world.

Traditional Rite Codified for the First time in the Constitution by the Roman Curia
Yesterday was the presentation of the new Constitution of the Roman Curia, which had already been published last Saturday, much to the annoyance of accredited journalists.
The association complained that the new constitution was promulgated "without prior notice".
The new constitution regulates the work of the Roman Curia. It will come into force next June 5th, Whit Sunday. Up until now, Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus from 1988 has been in force. The new constitution Praedicate Evangelium will replace the previous one in June. The new constitution incorporates a number of changes made by Pope Francis over the past nine years.
Traditional Rite Anchored in the New Constitution
For the first time, the traditional form of the Roman Rite, and thus indirectly tradition, was codified in a constitution of the Roman Curia. Specifically, this happened in Article 93, which regulates the tasks of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments:
"Art. 93 The Dicastery is concerned with the regulation and discipline of the sacred liturgy as regards the use, according to the norms in force, of the liturgical books of the period before the reform of the Second Vatican Council.”
The previous Constitution, Pastor Bonus contained no such codification. It was promulgated by John Paul on June 28, 1988, while the establishment of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei by the motu proprio of the same name did not take place until four days later, on July 2, 1988. It showed that the granting of Ecclesia Dei was improvised on the one hand due to the events (consecration of bishops by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre on June 30th, which the Pope did not allow) and that the Holy See at the same time had not yet wanted to commit to anchoring the traditional Rite in the Constitution for the Roman Curia.
This is what Pope Francis did now, almost 34 years later, at a moment when he was severely affecting tradition, the traditional Rite and the communities connected to it with the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes. In Traditionis Custodes he determined the transfer of responsibilities to the Congregation of Worship, which are enshrined in the new constitution. The English Archbishop Arthur Roche, who is openly hostile to the traditional Rite, leads the congregation as Prefect.
In the original version, which had already been published on Saturday, the "extraordinary form of the Roman Rite" was expressly mentioned, as Pope Benedict XVI. in the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum of 2007.
"Art. 93 The Dicastery deals with the regulation and discipline of the sacred liturgy in relation to the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite.”
The existence of such an extraordinary form is denied by Pope Francis with the motu poprio Traditionis Custodes. The new constitution was thus in open contradiction to Traditionis Custodes. On Monday, therefore, Article 93 was amended by Msgr. Marco Mellino, the secretary of the Council of Cardinals, who advises Francis on curial reform. The unofficial reason given was that a typographical error had to be corrected. An official notification that a change has been made has not yet been made. In Monday's press conference, Monsignor Mellino stated:
"In the Editio Typica, which will be the original and fundamental text, you will find the wording as it is. Also because of the whole question of the Society of Peter. We have to find the best formulation so that everything is well taken into account".
Excitement among the Vaticanists
The excitement among the Vaticanists is understandable: Yesterday (March 22nd) the press conference to present the new Apostolic Constitution took place. Loup Besmond, a correspondent for La Croix, was the first journalist to address it, and expressed the "surprise" of the Association of Journalists Accredited by the Holy See at the communication policy of the Holy See. The press conference on a document that had already been published on Saturday and took place on Monday. The publication took place without prior notice and only in Italian. Normally, the Vatican documents are made available to journalists in advance but are subject to a blocking period. This gives journalists the opportunity to prepare themselves, read the document and possibly translate parts before they are supposed to report on it at the time of publication.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, director of the Vatican press office, justified the unusual procedure with reference to the "reason of state" and the feast of St. Joseph, which the Church celebrated last Saturday. This is an important date for Pope Francis, Bruni said, as it marks the anniversary of his pontificate.
Of course, this is not an explanation for the actions of the Vatican press office.
A number of journalists took to Twitter to echo Besmond's expression of astonishment to send a signal of disapproval.

Young Catholics Respond to Modernist Church in Germany
Young traditional Catholics respond with a video to those in the Church who "can no longer endure sound teaching".
The homosexualization of the Church is part of the vociferous agenda of the pink purple ideologues who have seized control of the church in Germany. Sin crying out to heaven is to be raised to the altars. The coming out of 125 employees and dignitaries of the Catholic Church a few weeks ago shows where the journey with the synodal path should go. A group of traditional young Catholics from Certamen Germany have created a video in response to this outing. They write about it:
"In times of crisis, sacred tradition remains the infallible rule of faith, the criterion for distinguishing the Catholic from the non-Catholic" (Roberto de Mattei). Many Catholics, especially the German bishops and most of their clergy, seem to have forgotten this healthy rule. Instead of renewing the Church from within through its tradition, they escalate their reform intentions into ever more absurd fantasies, which ultimately only result in one thing: the apostasy from the Catholic faith and thus the destruction of the Catholic Church.
We traditional Catholics want to counter this doomed reform attitude, which seems to find its climax on the synodal path in Germany:
- We do not want any other Church than that founded by our Lord Jesus Christ.
- We want priests who are aware of the dignity of their ordination and of their associated mission.
- We love the old Mass because it focuses on God and not on people.
- We want to convert the world to the Catholic faith and not adapt the Catholic Church to the world.
- We rely on what the great holy Pope Pius X was once convinced of: "The true friends of the people are neither reformers nor innovators, but the traditionalists."

Ukraine on Fire
Pornhub Suspended in Russia! Rejoice!
The effects of what may become World War III, apparently, are not all bad. Consider that a Russian Orthodox priest recently preached this to his flock:
We lived among the Satanic chimera, you didn’t know that? Have you noticed the air has become cleaner to breathe…Pugacheva has left Russia forever—Lord, I’ve waited for this! Pornhub is closed for Russian users—Western civilization is turned off to us. Jesus, how hard did we need to pray before, for it to be closed earlier! We can’t go to Eurovision—I’ve prayed that we’re never allowed there ever again! I never want to see women with mustaches and men with breasts—never! Not even in a dream or in passing on a billboard! They’ve closed it all to us—this is it, boastful, stinky, cursed at its roosts and through their guts; it is cursed! It’s a world about profit, lies, and bloodshed!

Traditiones Custodes: The Hermeneutic of Arbitrariness
On February 4, Pope Francis received two priests from the Society of St. Peter who were able to express their concerns about the implementation of Traditionis Custodes. On February 11, he granted the Society of St. Peter a special decree on Traditionis Custodes.
Argentine blogger Wanderer, “ a traditional Catholic in unity with Rome,” has been running the Caminante-Wanderer blog for many years. A few days ago he published a hermeneutics of arbitrariness. In it, he tries to give a slightly different interpretation to the decree for the Society of St. Peter, with which Pope Francis largely freed this Ecclesia Dei community from the yoke of the Motu proprio Traditionis Custodes, and to draw attention to some aspects that, in his view, have not been sufficiently addressed so far have received attention.
Hermeneutic of Arbitrariness
by Wanderer
The Decree of February 11, by which Pope Francis authorized the Society of St. Peter (FSSP) and with it, it seems, the other Ecclesia Dei Institutes to use the surviving liturgical books, including the Roman Pontifical, has triggered countless comments. Few of us expected such a measure, and it came as a surprise, especially to those who claim that the pontiff was possessed of a particular hatred of the traditional liturgy. Traditions Custodes was certainly bad news and seemed to confirm this assumption: Francis is attempting to suppress the traditional liturgy and, by forbidding the use of the Roman Pontifical before liturgical reform, effectively condemns the traditionalists to extinction or to relying on one or the other to join the Society of Saint Pius in any other way, which would result in the “resignation” from the Church.
In this blog, however, we have always maintained that Pope Francis is neither a traditionalist nor a progressive on liturgical matters. He's a Jesuit, maybe the best Jesuit who ever lived, and as such he doesn't care about the liturgy. He does not understand them, for a purely practical mind is unable to understand the worship offered to God for its own sake. He is interested in politics and pastoral action. The rest is incomprehensible to him. The decree favoring the Society of Peter confirms this hypothesis.
The surprise has led many observers to speak of a kind of papal "schizophrenia": the pope issues a motu proprio fatal to the traditional liturgy and shortly thereafter opens the floodgates for a sizeable group of traditionalists to continue celebrating their Latin Masses as they want. And we must not forget that the authorization granted to the Society of St. Peter is not the first, that of the motu proprio deviates from what he himself had proclaimed. In addition to several granted by him on a personal level, and despite intense pressure, he has granted others that are public. For example, in St. Peter's Basilica, where even the rite of Paul VI. cannot be celebrated privately, according to Traditions Custodes, two solemn masses are celebrated in the traditional Rite.
The possible papal "schizophrenia" is not the only explanation for the decree. I propose the following hermeneutical keys to the papal contradiction:
1. We all know how good Pope Francis is with the language of gestures, for better or for worse. Suffice it to recall, for example, the grim and sullen face with which he can be seen in photos with Donald Trump or Mauricio Macri. With the priests of the Society of St. Peter, on the other hand, he shows a smiling and satisfied face, which suggests that the conversation took place in the best conditions and that he felt comfortable with them, and this is one of the traditionalist groups, considered the most rigid, as you can imagine.
2. The conversation is said to have lasted an hour, which is a very long time for a papal audience granted to two priests who hold important positions within the Society of St. Peter but are not its supreme authority. Perhaps a reader more knowledgeable than I can tell us whether Pope Francis frequently receives Superiors General of religious orders and congregations and, if so, how long these audiences last.
3. It is known, because it has also been published, that the origin of the audience was a letter that some priests of the Society of St. Peter sent to the Pope expressing their concern about the consequences of Traditions Custodes, and in response to the letter they were summoned to Rome to meet with the Holy Father. And I believe that the initiative for such a privilege came directly from the pope and not from a secretary of the papal household. No halfway skilled and loyal subordinate would put his superior in an embarrassing and compromising situation. Everyone knew it was a touchy and thorny subject. This fact and the two points mentioned above suggest that the Holy Father has no particular aversion to the traditional liturgy. If that were the case, it would be easy for him, plain and simple, to apply Traditions Custodes to demand what he has every right in the world to do. Or, as is his habit, he would avoid any interviews or meetings where he expects a confrontation. It should be remembered that Francis practically suspended the consistories at which cardinals and other Roman prelates meet with the pope to discuss ecclesiastical matters. Bergoglio, as Bishop of Buenos Aires, has always avoided confrontations and therefore avoids granting audiences or going to places where he foresees a difficult situation. I know a number of people who have asked for a personal audience with the Pope and have not even received an answer. The Priests of the Society of Peter were summoned to Santa Marta by Pope Francis to discuss the motu proprio.
4. To what extent can Traditiones Custodes be considered as a Franciscan manifesto against the traditional liturgy? This is certainly the first and simplest reading, but the facts on which we are commenting allow for other interpretations that were not possible until recently. Let's look at some facts:
a. The motu proprio comes from the office of Archbishop Arthur Roche and his staff. This English Archbishop was appointed by Benedict XVI. as Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and is not a liturgist, which suggests that all his liturgical knowledge and consequent bungling is the fruit of the express training he received from Andrea Grillo, and this is no exaggeration as illustrated: The text of Traditiones Custodes repeats almost verbatim many paragraphs from articles and other writings that Grillo has been publishing for at least fifteen years ( here, here and here ), and the principles on which it is based are exactly the same ones propagated by this Bolognese liturgist since Pope Ratzinger promulgated the Summorum Pontificum. In short, Traditiones Custodes was not written or conceived by Bergoglio; he merely signed what others wrote for him.
b. I don't mean to say that Bergoglio didn't know what he was doing. He knew that very well. For years he was under constant pressure from the Italian bishops, who were alarmed at the growth of the traditionalist movement and, above all, at the strong sympathy among young priests for the traditional Mass. And the Pope did not want to have any problem with the Italian bishops, especially in the midst of the excesses that he committed and still commits himself in that episcopacy (suffice it to say the recent appointment of the new Archbishop of Turin). And he gave in to the pressure.
c. Bergoglio was also aware of the American bishops' functional sympathy for conservative and traditionalist positions. Bergoglian hostility towards Americans deepened after the shocking incident of the American Bishops' Conference virtually flouting papal wishes regarding Biden and the admission of pro-abortion politicians to Communion. To obstruct the traditional Mass would be to anger Americans, which, being a good Peronist, he abhors, all the more so when it threatens his power.
5. Several traditionalist websites rightly argue that the permission given to the Society of St. Peter is an "indult" and can therefore be revoked at any time, which would prove the malice and duplicity of Francis. It is true that it is a gesture of mercy, but we should keep a few points in mind:
a. For Bergoglio, everything is a gesture of grace, even canon law. He made several reforms to the code just a few weeks ago. The only thing he hasn't changed is the Scriptures. We cannot expect him to proclaim a universal law.
b. It should be remembered that for decades the only way to celebrate the traditional Mass was by indult and that there had to be a “schism” for it to be granted. According to some scholars, Benedict XVI's authorization given in Summorum Pontificum is also an indult. The curious thing is that with both the indults of John Paul II and Pope Ratzinger, a long time must have passed and/or extraordinary events must have taken place. The indult to the Society of St. Peter was granted immediately after an audience.
c. What other legal form was possible besides an indult? Only one: the abolition of the Missal of Paul VI, which is the only "ordinary" form of celebration of the Latin Rite. We can't expect that much.
i.e. Many believe that the Indult is a very fragile legal form and that its days are numbered. We recall, however, that this is not always the case: the Crusade Bull is an indult that has been, or is still, valid for more than eight centuries, and we traditionalist Spaniards rely on it to eat meat on Fridays. Or Communion in the hand is an indult that still applies and is unlikely to be abolished.
6. It is also said that the papal decree insists on Traditions Custodes in the last paragraph and I think this is one of the most interesting and positive aspects of the situation. There it is suggested ( suadet ) that as far as possible ( quantum fieri potest ) this motu proprio should be carefully considered ( sedulo cogitetur ) . It's something minimal, remarkably minimal. The priests of the Society of Peter are not even obliged to read Traditionis Custodes . They are just suggested to think about it, if possible.
7. It is also said that the indult was not published and is therefore of dubious validity. However, it should be noted that this is not a law that comes into force upon its publication in the country's official gazette. It is permission given to a specific group within the Church. One could make a long list of indults that have never been published and yet whose validity has not been compromised. For example, the so-called "Agatha Christie Indult," which makes it possible for the traditional Mass to continue to be celebrated in the United Kingdom under certain circumstances.
I think that the above facts lead to the conclusion that for Pope Francis, Traditions Custodes is a document of political rather than liturgical significance, while for Archbishop Roche and his collaborators in the Congregation for Divine Worship it is an eminently liturgical measure with a clear intention to destroy the traditional liturgy. Consequently, and paradoxically as it may seem, Pope Francis is our main or only advocate on liturgical questions, for whatever reason.
Precisely for this reason, it makes sense to reconsider the strategy of groups and analysts from the traditional world who, after the publication of the motu proprio, devoted themselves to the violent attacks on Francis, even committing incomprehensible mistakes, the consequences of which we are all feeling. The priests of the Society of St. Peter have shown us a path that has led to the goal.
But what is the goal we are striving for? To protect as much as possible the position that Pope Benedict XVI. has won for the traditional liturgy, to preserve it as much as possible, or to make a name for oneself with constant attacks on the Holy Father for what he does or does not do on liturgical questions? If it is the first option, we should be cautious and meek, which does not mean that we remain silent in the face of the devastation the Argentine Pope is wreaking on the Church. But it means having clear goals in mind and using the necessary common sense.
