More liturgical wars for the "bastard rite" - one more reason to leave it behind for Tradition

With a stroke of the pen, Pope Bergoglio has struck down the work of John Paul II and Benedict XVI in Liturgiam Authenticum and the Third Typical Edition of the Roman Missal.

No doubt, as a payback to the Germans and others who simply refuse to translate, "pro multis" as "for many" and continue to disobey the order of Benedict XVI to translate it properly, Bergoglio has thrown the matter of translations to the bishops. It would seem unlikely that the English speaking bishops, after all the time, stress and money spent since 2011 on the more correct translation of the Novus Ordo Missae, would return to the former, but they may allow it as an option. The Third Edition of the Roman Missal is still only in Latin and English. All others, to this day, use the 1974 Missal.

Make no mistake, along with the deviations allowed in Amoris Laetitia from place to place, this action by the great liturgist Bergoglio will lead to an even greater disunity within the Catholic Church.

Whether or not Bergoglio has the right to do this is not the question. It is a notorious act on the part of this man and his filthy minions. The photo below is of this Bergoglio in Colombia. Look at him, he bypasses the kneeler to stand before the Lord Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

How can he do this? How can this man not kneel?  Yet, Catholic modernists, as is already happening on Twitter, will overflow with effervescent praise for this divisive and destructive action on the part of this man.

It is just one more reason to abandon the bastard rite. A so-called "Mass" that is different from country to country, diocese to diocese, parish to parish and even within the parish from different priests. Notwithstanding the narrow line that makes it valid, this rotten fruit of Paul VI is unstable, it is irreligious, it is not proper worship to Almighty God, it is horizontal, man-centred, ecumenical and masonic.

This Bergoglio will not stop at this, it is only the beginning.

Get out of it and get to the traditional Mass even if that means that the only choice is the Society of St. Pius X. Your faith and that of your loved ones depends upon it.

Michael Coren declares that Vox Cantoris makes a "heavy mark!"

My old friend and brother Knight of Columbus, Michael Coren, is up to it again. I dare say there is some kind of obsession that causes him to come back so often and to ruminate on us. Clearly, we bloggers have more influence than perhaps we thought and we are leaving a "heavy mark."

Back when we were friends, Michael would telephone me often at home and on mobile to chat and prod me about Catholic issues leading up to and after his book, about Catholics being "right." What a maroon! If we were "right" then, we didn't suddenly become wrong. I sat in his home, had coffee and even booked him to speak at a conference and got him other gigs. I helped put money in his pocket. Sorry, for that, friends. Coren would often telephone me frequently to chat, he often speculated on which Toronto priest was "gay" and if I had any proof of it. This was a real interest for him. At more than one public event, he asked me to do some "advance" and distraction from certain people whom he did not like to receive questions from. One specifically at the University of Toronto I regret doing because the good woman has passed to her eternal reward and was right about her views and advice to me on Michael. May dear Ursula forgive me.

One day, after his departure from the faith, he did an interview on video with the CBC. In that video, the CBC flashed a Tweet with my name on it with Coren alleging that I wrote something to him. It was designed to look as if I Tweeted a certain comment. I had not. Coren took a private email which I sent to him, something I forwarded to him without changing the subject line, it clearly began with, "re:"  It was an email from that same Ursula, expressing grief over Michael's comments supporting Hillary Clinton and her stance on abortion. The subject line referred to the "pure evil" of Clinton's statement and by extension, Coren's seeming endorsement of that opinion. Because all of us, including Ursula, had known Michael and his wife from The Toronto Oratory. Ursula was grieved, as were all of us, over what was happening with our old friend. Coren took that email, as if it were a comment from me and attached my name to it, and made it look as if it were my Tweet. Yet, I do not Tweet under my name, but under, Vox Cantoris and there, on The National, was my name for all to see. I was being slandered and mocked in a very public way. A private email from me to Michael Coren was used to slander me by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, a "crown-corporation" which, as a Canadian, I theoretically own shares in. It was broadcast on The National, Canada's national evening news program on the CBC, nationwide and on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. I was accused of stating something which I did not state. That ,,Michael Coren was "pure evil."

I filed a complaint with the CBC ombudsman. The action was pretty quick. The Executive Producer of The National withdrew the video from their web page, Facebook and Twitter and after it was proved that Coren could not prove to the CBC that I said or wrote the words I was alleged to have written, the video with the false accusation of words by me, was edited out and the CBC apologised.

As a certain cleric learnt, if you're going to come after this writer, you need to get up early in the morning, and I'm up before dawn!

Michael has now paid me, and even more, my good friend at Toronto Catholic Witness, Barona, with a great compliment; and for that I thank him and am pleased to let him know that all is forgiven.

In a recent article on The Walrus, Coren declares:

"Even more blatant than Lifesite are blogs such as the Ontario-based Vox Cantoris and Toronto Catholic Witness, with less significance but still making a heavy mark."

Indeed, Michael, on this point you, along with us Catholics are "right." 

Oh and do me this favour would you? Donate one dollar for every hit this sends to your article to Courage Toronto or Campaign Life Coalition for the publicity I am sending back to you.

After all, it would only be "right."

The purge of faithful Catholics from the Church and the even greater need for calling out of error

Professor Josef Siefert has been expelled by the Church from the philosophical institute which he had founded, which came under control of the Archbishop of Granada. Dr. Siefert was a faithful Catholic and a respected philosopher with an intellect that would put the likes of Bergoglio and his minions to shame. His crime? State the obvious - that Jorge Bergoglio has promulgated a heretical document known as Amoris Laetitia.

In Columbia, where Beroglio now travels, another faithful Catholic, Jose Galat, has been excommunicated for questioning Bergoglio's legitimate claim to the Chair of Peter and for exposing his pernicious heresy.

https://onepeterfive.com/colombian-criticizes-francis-excommunicated/

We are now facing a new "Inquisition."

It is unacceptable that faithful Catholics who question the obvious heresy and insult spouted from the mouth and mind of the Bishop of Rome and those minions surrounding him, should be persecuted and "excommunicated," by men who clearly, hate the faith, hate the faithful and hate the Divine Founder, Our Lord Jesus Christ. They are Arians at best and most likely, Satanists. They either don't believe that Jesus is God or they do and they seek to destroy His Church and His faithful because of it.

My Catholic brothers and sisters, you must wake up to the evil that has come upon the Church, you must keep the faith and not be intimidated by these faithless, filthy men. There time is very short and we will need to pick up the pieces and rebuild, and that we will, with the help and grace of the Lord whom we love.

Cardinal Caffarra, may he rest in peace

Cardinal Caffarra, has died suddenly. While said to be ill, his death seems to have come as a surprise. May he rest in the peace of Christ, whom he loved.

The Cardinal is the second of the four "dubia" Cardinals to pass away in the last few months, the first being Cardinal Meisner.

Raymond Cardinal Burke has issued a statement:

“With the death of Cardinal Carlo Caffarra the Church has lost the earthly presence of an exemplary priest, Bishop and Cardinal. Having enjoyed the great gift of knowing Cardinal Caffarra over many years and of working very closely with him during the these last years in the safeguarding and promoting of the Church’s constant teaching and practice regarding Holy Matrimony and the Holy Eucharist, I can testify that he was completely and solely inspired by a deep and pure love of Christ and of Christ’s Mystical Body, the Church. His purity of heart was always evident to me and was an unfailing inspiration. His knowledge of the Church’s doctrine and discipline was the fruit of years of study, which he continued until the end, for the sake of giving the best possible care to souls. Just recently, he related to me how he was studying the texts of Blessed Cardinal John Henry Cardinal Newman on conscience in preparation for a public lecture in England. While I mourn deeply the loss of his earthly presence, I am confident that his love of Christ and of the Church will continue. I count upon the help of his prayers in carrying out my weighty responsibility as a teacher of the faith and a doctor of souls. May the good and faithful Cardinal rest in peace.”

Its seems to this writer that Cardinals Burke and Brandmuller should avail themselves of food-tasters, body-guards and bullet vests under their albs and if you think I'm wearing a tin-foiled hat then you've not studied history.

Of Bergoglian earmuffs and socks

From the great liturgical mind of Jorge Bergoglio from the latest interview by this man thrust upon the Seat of Peter by evil men.

"On the contrary, traditionalist ideology has a faith like this [the pope makes a gesture of putting on earmuffs]. “The benediction should be done like this. In Mass, fingers should be like this, with gloves, like before …” What Vatican II has done with the liturgy has been something truly grand, because it has opened worship of God to the people. Now the people participate." 

Ideology? 

If anyone has an ideology it is the modernists and liberals who hate Christ, hate the tradition of the Church and even resent the few crumbs that Ratzinger sprinkled to comfort a few.   

What a stupid, ignorant, boorish man. 

Rather than ear muffs over his hears perhaps he should try a sock in the mouth.

Cormac Murphy-O'Connor lobbied to elect Bergoglio

The former Archbishop of Westminster, Cormac Murphy-O'Connor has died. It has long been known that he was part of the St. Gallin Mafia with the pervert protecting Daneels from Belgium, a mafia that worked to elect Bergoglio in 2005 and then succeeded upon his cowardly renouncement of the papacy. Now, a new book reveals that Murphy-O'Connor lobbied Cardinals of the Commonwealth to elect his friend from Buenos Aires - except for two, Canada's Marc Ouellet and George Pell from Australia.

As it is unseemly to speak ill of the dead, I shall leave it at this. Murphy-O'Connor has now met our Lord Jesus Christ. We should hope that the Lord was merciful to him as we hope he shall be to all of us.

Robert Mendick, Chief Reporter

3 SEPTEMBER 2017 • 9:30PM

It is a tale every bit as intriguing as the plot of Conclave, Robert Harris’s best-selling thriller set during a fictitious papal election.

For it has emerged that Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, the former Catholic archbishop of Westminster who died last week, intervened in the last Conclave to ensure his friend was elected Pope Francis.

In the days before the 2013 vote, Murphy-O’Connor co-hosted a reception at the British embassy in Rome to lobby support for Cardinal Bergoglio, the then progressive archbishop of Buenos Aires.

According to a new book, Murphy-O’Connor invited cardinals from the Commonwealth but deliberately left off the invitation list two powerful but conservative clerics - Cardinal Ouellet from Canada, who had been a frontrunner, and Cardinal Pell from Australia.

The plan, which succeeded, was to persuade the cardinals of the need for a liberal pope without interference from the senior conservatives.

The book by Catherine Pepinster, the former editor of The Tablet, details how embassy officials left the room to allow Murphy-O’Connor time to persuade the cardinals of the importance of voting for Bergoglio.

Murphy-O’Connor had been dismayed when Pope Benedict XVI was elected at the previous conclave and was determined to avoid another conservative Pope.

Ms Pepinster, whose book The Keys and The Kingdom: Britain and the Papacy from John Paul II to Francis is published next month, said: “Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor was a popular, genial man but beneath his jovial exterior was someone of great canniness who knew exactly how the Vatican worked.

“And that canniness meant he ensured his friend was elected Pope Francis - a pope who has made a huge impact on the Catholic Church and the world. There have been kingmakers in history; Cormac Murphy-O’Connor turned out to be a popemaker.”

Pope Francis was elected on March 13 2013, the second day of the conclave, on the fifth ballot. He need two-thirds of the 115 votes to win. It is thought the votes delivered by Murphy-O’Connor were instrumental. The two men became close friends after meeting for the first time when they were made cardinals on the same day by Pope John Paul II.

In 2013, Murphy-O’Connor was too old to vote under Vatican rules, but he travelled to Rome, like many other elderly non-voting cardinals, to participate in talks, called congregations, before the conclave.

Shortly after his elevation, Pope Francis was overheard telling Murphy-O’Connor: “Tuo e colpevole”, translated as “you’re to blame”.

Does Bergoglio of Rome support legalised and recognised same sex civil unions?

Has Bergoglio endorsed so-called "same-sex civil unions?"

“Marriage between people of the same sex? ‘Marriage’ is a historical word. Always in humanity, and not only within the Church, it’s between a man and a woman… we cannot change that. This is the nature of things. This is how they are. Let’s call them ‘civil unions.’ Lets not play with the truth. It’s true that behind it there is a gender ideology. In books also, children are learning that they can choose their own sex. Why is sex, being a woman or a man, a choice and not a fact of nature? This favors this mistake. But let’s say things as they are: Marriage is between a man and a woman. This is the precise term. Lets call unions between the same sex ‘civil unions’.”

The "Gay-Catholic" mafia lobby, New Ways Ministry seems to think so.

https://newwaysministryblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/02/pope-francis-says-he-supports-civil-unions-for-lesbian-and-gay-couples/

So what is it Jorge. Do you support legalised same sex civil unions?

Only one way out of this mess

The Church is in its gravest crisis since the Arian heresy. I would argue that the very Arian heresy is back again with us today. It is simply inconceivable that the leaders of the Church today actually believe that Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, is God. If they truly believed it, they would not have promulgated Amoris Laetitia nor would homosexualists such as James Martin, S.J., and countless others, be allowed to spread their poisonous bile by their Superiors.

Earlier today, the evil leaders of the northern part of the Korean peninsula explodes an underground test of a hydrogen bomb five times more powerful than what was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the earthquake which followed was nearly 6.3 on the Richter Scale. People suffer losses of life, homes, jobs and normalcy in Texas, and the media is worried about stiletto heals. We are truly deluded if we think we can get out of this on our own.

Bergoglio praises Communists, again! They are the "real Christians"

Do you remember when popes confirmed their brothers in the faith and safeguarded it to pass it on to the next generation? What a time that was, when speaking to Catholic cardinals was more important than sitting for interviews with members of the secular media. 

Bergoglio of Rome has given another series of interviews, this time to a French writer, Dominque Wolton, reportedly, an agnostic. This them of course is not new to this Bergoglio; he often submits himself to be interviewed by the atheist Eugenio Scalfari of La Repubblica, better that than meeting with ones Cardinals to answer to ones heresy and undermining of Biblical truth and Catholic doctrine.

There is so much to unpack in this book of Bergoglian bile. much of it seems like a rehashing of previous statements, the youth and rigidity being an example, but we'll save that for next time.

The post below is from November 11, 2016. Bergoglio had just made a revealing statement about communists being real Christians. Well, if once was not enough for this deranged Peronist who has been placed by evil men on the Chair of Peter, then let's just double-down on all that communist love, shall we?

Just because a communist state gives "free" health care, doesn't make it Christian. 

Referencing a communist activist who greatly influenced Bergoglio, Esther Bellestrino de Careaga, he said:

"She taught me to think about political reality, ... I owe so much to this woman, I was told once, 'But you are a Communist!' No, the Communists are the Christians. It's the others who stole our banner!"

The post below shows the consistency of this deranged and dangerous man.

May God deliver us from this evil  man and send us a truly holy Pope who will "restore all things in Christ."

And yet, we would He? Do we deserve it?

Alas, a chastisement is more likely.

BERGOGLIO PRAISES COMMUNISTS

Original published 11/11/16

Scalfari: You told me some time ago that the precept, “Love your neighbour as thyself” had to change, given the dark times that we are going through, and become “more than thyself.” So you yearn for a society where equality dominates. This, as you know, is the programme of Marxist socialism and then of communism. Are you therefore thinking of a Marxist type of society?

Bergoglio: “It has been said many times and my response has always been that, if anything, it is the communists who think like Christians. Christ spoke of a society where the poor, the weak and the marginalized have the right to decide. Not demagogues, not Barabbas, but the people, the poor, whether they have faith in a transcendent God or not. It is they who must help to achieve equality and freedom”.

Vox: There is nothing which I can say that won't be vulgar and uncharitable.

Mean old bloggers

Do all the widdle bloggers make you angry?

From Elizabeth Yore:

Spadaro S.J. disingenuously asserts that his article is “not our intention to demonize anybody,” despite labeling traditional Catholics as haters, and singling out Trump Senior Advisor, Steve Bannon, as a “promoter of apocalyptic geopolitics.” Not surprisingly, Spadaro drops the Bannon slur in the notoriously favored Francis footnote. See fn. 1.  The Vatican cleverly buries smack talk in footnotes, so readers won’t think that they are unmerciful. This well honed literary tactic was also deployed cunningly in Amoris Laetitia by changing Catholic dogma in a footnote, conveniently providing deniability and detachment. 

Francis and Fr. Spadaro, S.J.

In a separate interview about his La Civilita Cattolica article, Spadaro, S.J. reveals the underlying political motivation behind the Vatican “ecumenism of hate” rant:

“But certainly, we see the multiplication of websites, blogs, and Twitter accounts that tend to move public opinionand react in lively and often in a violent and fundamentalist way. These realities create a bubble within themselves...It is found everywhere. I do not say it is a majority phenomenon, but it is something that is present in the life of the People of God today.”

Apparently, traditional Catholic bloggers have gotten under Francis’ thin skin. The underlying cause of the Pope’s angst is that the conservative Catholic bloggers and websites are making their voice heard by daring to promote the Catholic faith and exposing the papal plots and diabolical alliances. Fr. Spadaro, Francis’ close confidante, is alarmed at traditionalists on the Internet because they tend to move public opinion. Horrors!

Francis, the Merciful, Inc. is distraught over its declining papal popularity poll numbers and blames the conservative blogosphere.

So sue me!
