Stop Saying that We Aren't Saying the Mass!
For all those so very holy Catholics who continue to not see the reality of the public health crisis and who fail to understand that the Mass does not need them.
As it has settled down, I am restoring the open combox. If you attack this writer, your comment will be deleted and you will be blocked.

“You are perverted. You have strayed from my path. You prostrated yourself before an idol."
Today at the Hotel Santa Marta, the Pope Bergoglio gave an interesting homily.
"What are my idols? Everyone has their own. What are my idols? Where do I hide them? May the Lord not find us at the end of our life, and say: “You are perverted. You have strayed from my path. You prostrated yourself before an idol."
Yes, you did.
Has God unleashed his wrath on Pope Francis and the Church?
Has God unleashed his wrath on Pope Francis and the Church? We know in the Old Testament that when Israel sinned, God acted and it was not necessarily with mercy.
Mercy is what we've heard for seven years now this March. How coincidental. We've seen Church doctrine overturned and sodomites come out of hiding executing their heinous control over the Church. The Bishop of Rome who should be affirming all in the Faith has instead undermined. He grovels, literally, on the floor to kiss the feet of tribal leaders and heads of state and refused to genuflect to the Lord that made Heaven and Earth at the Mass or at Adoration. I could go on.
When he was elected, Pope Bergoglio shunned the simple and humble and cost-free papal apartment in itself, large because it is multi-functional, but not overly luxurious, instead staying in the Hotel Santa Marta. He said it was because he needed to be around people and did not want to be isolated.
Yet, that room could he is in required the whole floor to be vacated and the revenue lost. He said it was out of humility that he would shun the luxurious 500 year old palace for the simple hotel room.
He said that for psychological reasons he did not want to be so isolated from people in the palace and to eat his meals in public. We can speculate on whether these were his real reasons, of course, charity demands we believe him.
How ironic then that all that he wanted has now been taken from him.
From Marco Tosatti via Church Militant:
The fact that the pope has decided to eat alone, in his own room, indicates that he is very worried. We recall how Pope Bergoglio decided, when he was elected, not to occupy the papal apartment in the Vatican Palace as his predecessors had done, but to live at Santa Marta. He took his meals in the common dining room, although for some years a row of potted plants gave him a small amount of privacy. But the fact that he has now renounced community life is a sign that he is both worried and prudent.
Tosatti also describes how the China-Wuhan Virus is spreading behind Vatican walls.
Has God unleashed his wrath on Pope Francis and the Church?
And yet, Pope Francis has said that it is nature's "revenge," "tantrum" and "cry."
Well, I guess Pack-A-Mama's a bitch, eh?
That'll teach you to worship pagan idols and then lie and spin that it is an image of the non-existent Our Lady of the "Amazon."
And what does he do? Join in an "Our Father."
Holy Father, try "sackcloth and ashes" for your pagan idolatry, doctrinal heresy and cover up of sexual filth and perversion, sodomite clerics and financial corruption and malfeasance.
The Church is being scourged by God. It is happening in our site. But after Good Friday, comes Easter and she will shine brighter than ever,

Father Joseph Ratzinger’s 1969 Prediction: What the Church Will Look Like in 2000
In a 1969 German radio broadcast, Father Joseph Ratzinger offered his thoughtfully considered answer to the question, “What will become of the Church in the future?” Here are his concluding remarks,
“The future of the Church can and will issue from those whose roots are deep and who live from the pure fullness of their faith. It will not issue from those who accommodate themselves merely to the passing moment or from those who merely criticize others and assume that they themselves are infallible measuring rods; nor will it issue from those who take the easier road, who sidestep the passion of faith, declaring false and obsolete, tyrannous and legalistic, all that makes demands upon men, that hurts them and compels them to sacrifice themselves. To put this more positively: The future of the Church, once again as always, will be reshaped by saints, by men, that is, whose minds probe deeper than the slogans of the day, who see more than others see, because their lives embrace a wider reality.
Unselfishness, which makes men free, is attained only through the patience of small daily acts of self-denial. By this daily passion, which alone reveals to a man in how many ways he is enslaved by his own ego, by this daily passion and by it alone, a man’s eyes are slowly opened. He sees only to the extent that he has lived and suffered. If today we are scarcely able any longer to become aware of God, that is because we find it so easy to evade ourselves, to flee from the depths of our being by means of the narcotic of some pleasure or other. Thus our own interior depths remain closed to us. If it is true that a man can see only with his heart, then how blind we are!
How does all this affect the problem we are examining? It means that the big talk of those who prophesy a Church without God and without faith is all empty chatter. We have no need of a Church that celebrates the cult of action in political prayers. It is utterly superfluous. Therefore, it will destroy itself. What will remain is the Church of Jesus Christ, the Church that believes in the God who has become man and promises us life beyond death. The kind of priest who is no more than a social worker can be replaced by the psychotherapist and other specialists; but the priest who is no specialist, who does not stand on the [sidelines], watching the game, giving official advice, but in the name of God places himself at the disposal of man, who is beside them in their sorrows, in their joys, in their hope and in their fear, such a priest will certainly be needed in the future.
Let us go a step farther. From the crisis of today the Church of tomorrow will emerge — a Church that has lost much. She will become small and will have to start afresh more or less from the beginning. She will no longer be able to inhabit many of the edifices she built in prosperity. As the number of her adherents diminishes, so it will lose many of her social privileges. In contrast to an earlier age, it will be seen much more as a voluntary society, entered only by free decision. As a small society, it will make much bigger demands on the initiative of her individual members. Undoubtedly it will discover new forms of ministry and will ordain to the priesthood approved Christians who pursue some profession. In many smaller congregations or in self-contained social groups, pastoral care will normally be provided in this fashion. Along-side this, the full-time ministry of the priesthood will be indispensable as formerly. But in all of the changes at which one might guess, the Church will find her essence afresh and with full conviction in that which was always at her center: faith in the triune God, in Jesus Christ, the Son of God made man, in the presence of the Spirit until the end of the world. In faith and prayer she will again recognize the sacraments as the worship of God and not as a subject for liturgical scholarship.
The Church will be a more spiritual Church, not presuming upon a political mandate, flirting as little with the Left as with the Right. It will be hard going for the Church, for the process of crystallization and clarification will cost her much valuable energy. It will make her poor and cause her to become the Church of the meek. The process will be all the more arduous, for sectarian narrow-mindedness as well as pompous self-will will have to be shed. One may predict that all of this will take time. The process will be long and wearisome as was the road from the false progressivism on the eve of the French Revolution — when a bishop might be thought smart if he made fun of dogmas and even insinuated that the existence of God was by no means certain — to the renewal of the nineteenth century. But when the trial of this sifting is past, a great power will flow from a more spiritualized and simplified Church. Men in a totally planned world will find themselves unspeakably lonely. If they have completely lost sight of God, they will feel the whole horror of their poverty. Then they will discover the little flock of believers as something wholly new. They will discover it as a hope that is meant for them, an answer for which they have always been searching in secret.
And so it seems certain to me that the Church is facing very hard times. The real crisis has scarcely begun. We will have to count on terrific upheavals. But I am equally certain about what will remain at the end: not the Church of the political cult, which is dead already, but the Church of faith. It may well no longer be the dominant social power to the extent that she was until recently; but it will enjoy a fresh blossoming and be seen as man’s home, where he will find life and hope beyond death.
The Catholic Church will survive in spite of men and women, not necessarily because of them. And yet, we still have our part to do. We must pray for and cultivate unselfishness, self-denial, faithfulness, Sacramental devotion and a life centered on Christ.
In 2009 Ignatius Press released Father Joseph Ratzinger’s speech “What Will the Church Look Like in 2000” in full, in a book entitled Faith and the Future.

Bergoglio blames Pack-a Mama.
Enjoying your isolation? How's that job going? How's your health?
And blame ourselves for our lust for sodomy, fornication, abortion, greed, power and so much more.
Blame the idolatry that did this.
Spare O Lord, Spare your people.
Blame the communists in China for their wet markets. Blame them for covering up the virus.
And blame this Pope Bergoglio for allowing the bowing down and worship in the Vatican garden of a pagan idol.
Blame this Pope Bergoglio for allowing into a holy church of Our Lady and the Basilica of St. Peter that wretched and filthy idol.
Blame Pope Bergoglio for ordering that the array of plants representing that Whore of the Amazon be placed on the Holy Altar of God.
Blame that wimp and hypocrite Marini for not dropping it and saying, "Oppsi."
O LORD in Heaven, free the world from this virus of disease and men who have corrupted the world and your Holy Church.
And blame ourselves for our lust for sodomy, fornication, abortion, greed, power and so much more.
Blame the idolatry that did this.
Spare O Lord, Spare your people.
ROME — Pope Francis told a Spanish journalist Sunday that
nature never forgives and the coronavirus pandemic is nature’s cry for humans
to take better care of creation.
Asked by a Spanish journalist via Skype whether the COVID-19
pandemic is nature’s way of taking “revenge” on humanity, the pontiff suggested
that nature is calling for attention.
“There’s a saying, which you have heard: ‘God always
forgives. We sometimes forgive. Nature never forgives,’” the pope said. “Fires,
earthquakes … nature is throwing a tantrum so that we will take care of her.”
The pope was also asked whether he is “optimistic” about the
future of humanity in dealing with the coronavirus.
“I don’t like that word, because optimism sounds like makeup
to me,” Francis replied. “I have hope in humanity, in men and women, I have
hope in nations. I’m very hopeful. People who are going to draw lessons from
this crisis to rethink their lives.”
“We are going to come out of this better… fewer, of course.
Many are left along the way and it’s hard. But I have faith: we will come
through this better.”
Since his election in 2013, Pope Francis has insisted on
humanity’s responsibility to care for nature, calling for an integral ecology
that cares for human beings as well as the rest of creation.
A true ecological approach “always becomes a social
approach,” the pope wrote in his 2015 encyclical letter Laudato Si. “It must
integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear
both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.”
Francis has also tended to personalize nature, suggesting
that it “cries out” when it is mistreated.
Situations such as a loss of biodiversity and economic
inequality “have caused sister earth, along with all the abandoned of our
world, to cry out, pleading that we take another course,” he wrote. “Never have
we so hurt and mistreated our common home as we have in the last two hundred
years.”
“Neglecting to monitor the harm done to nature and the
environmental impact of our decisions is only the most striking sign of a
disregard for the message contained in the structures of nature itself,” he
said. “When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor
person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities – to offer just a few
examples – it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself; everything is
connected.”

You selfish, heartless, prideful Catholic! Watch this!
Be very careful. That Mass you demanded to attend may be your last. Or that of someone you love. But who cares, they're old and have pre-existing conditions.
And you call yourself a Catholic. I have two words for you but I won't use profanity.
See how God treats you for that on judgement day.
Remnant Clergy? My foot you stinking frauds.
China has lied over everthing and owes reparations to every citizen of the world and a whole lot more. Barona lays it out for all to understand.
Barona over at Toronto Catholic Witness has a superb post on the current situation.

Missa Sicca for the Domestic Church - Fourth Sunday of Lent "Laetare"
Clearly, this was a waste of time. It won't be done again.
In an effort to assist you on this Fourth Sunday of Lent, I have put together this Mass for the Domestic Church interspersed with organ music, it is Laetare (Rejoice) Sunday and the Ordinary and Propers of the Mass for today. It's very much what I would have programmed, sung and lead had I been able to.
Look, I know not attending Mass is a hardship. I get it. What you must "get" is that yesterday, nearly 700 people died in Italy of the China Virus. Yes, I know, they had pre-existing conditions and they were old so they were going to die anyway. What kind of Catholic are you if you think this way?
St. Junipero Serra offered no Mass on the ship to the New World. It was not allowed, the Precious Blood would have spilt. St. Francis of Assisi offered no Mass in the mountain on his retreat. Even if he wanted to, he could not, he was a deacon. Stop the fuss. I predict that tomorrow, flights in North America will be grounded and the stock markets closed. Shortly thereafter, we will be ordered under martial law to shelter in place. Why? Because if we do not, 10,000,000 in North America are going to die by the end of August because this mitigation is not much better than doing nothing and people are not listening. If we bite the bullet, it will be over in seven weeks and we will be all together before Pentecost ad the dead will be held to around 10,000. Our grandparents were called to war, we are called to our couch and our gardens. We can do this. God has not abandoned us.

Lesson
Lesson from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Galatians
Gal 4:22-31
Brethren: It is written that Abraham had two sons, the one
by a slave-girl and the other by a free woman. And the son of the slave-girl
was born according to the flesh, but the son of the free woman in virtue of the
promise. This said by way of allegory. For these are the two covenants: one
indeed from Mount Sinai bringing forth children unto bondage, which is Agar.
For Sinai is a mountain in Arabia, which corresponds to the present Jerusalem,
and is in slavery with her children. But that Jerusalem which is above is free,
which is our mother. For it is written, Rejoice, O barren one, that do not
bear; break forth and cry, you that do not travail; for many are the children
of the desolate, more than of her that has a husband. Now we, brethren, are the
children of the promise, as Isaac was. But as then he who was born according to
the flesh, persecuted him who was born according to the spirit, so also it is
now. But what does the Scripture say? Cast out the slave-girl and her son, for
the son of the slave-girl shall not be heir with the son of the free
woman. Therefore, brethren, we are not children of a slave-girl, but of the free
woman - in virtue of the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Gradual
℟ Thanks be to God.
Gradual
Ps 121: 1, 7. I rejoiced because they said to me, We will go up to the
house of the Lord.
V. May peace be within your walls, prosperity in your

V. Mountains are round about Jerusalem; so the Lord is round about His people, both now and forever.

At that time, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. And there followed Him a great crowd, because they witnessed the signs He worked on those who were sick. Jesus therefore went up the mountain, and sat there with His disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. When, therefore, Jesus had lifted up His eyes and seen that a very great crowd had come to Him, He said to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? But He said this to try him, for He Himself knew what He would do. Philip answered Him, Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each one may receive a little. One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Him, There is a young boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these among so many? Jesus then said, Make the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore reclined, in number about five thousand. Jesus then took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, distributed them to those reclining; and likewise the fishes, as much as they wished. But when they were filled, He said to His disciples, Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be wasted. They therefore gathered them up; and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. When the people, therefore, had seen the sign which Jesus had worked, they said, This is indeed the Prophet Who is to come into the world. So when Jesus perceived that they would come to take Him by force and make Him king He fled again to the mountain, Himself alone.

made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life,
and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the
darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man
came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe
through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light.
That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that
cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and
the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But
as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them
that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only
begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
R. Thanks be to God.
In the name of the Father + and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit.

Yet, you want to demand to go to Mass with other people?
Now, read this.
It's time for a complete lockdown. Do it now, and this is done in weeks. Wait, and millions will die.

Here is a beautiful letter from Cardinal Burke. I suggested something similar a few posts below to keep churches open.
But I have changed my mind. Do you know why? Because some or most cannot be trusted. They are so arrogant and prideful they will still come to church sick.
And you say, "oh, well those who die have pre-existing conditions or are old."
Idiots.
