It's Laetare Sunday. Time to rejoice. But not in Toronto because here, there is still


That's right. There is no Mass for you because the man above said so. He eliminated the public offering of Holy Mass in the Archdiocese of Toronto, not Doug Ford. Lest you think I will defend that unchurched ignoramus, I shall not, he reduced attendance at religious services to ten persons from the paltry thirty-percent. However, tomorrow at 12:01 A.M. that restriction moved to fifteen-percent from ten persons for those in the grey area. Do not forget that it was Collins that shut down the Mass.

Reading the Archdiocese of Toronto's social media one would be led to think that all restrictions are lifted. People who are either stupid or victims of Stockholm Syndrome are rejoicing over this, some are even looking forward to Holy Week at this ridiculous number as if they are guaranteed a ticket.

Sure, let's rejoice that Cardinal Collins' marketing expert letters campaign worked. Thirteen thousand letters out one and half million Catholics. Great response. Tongue in cheek of course. It is a pathetic joke. Worked? How different is this from thrity-percent. At least one priest I know has told me there is no difference, "we always only had fifteen percent because social distancing could not be met at thirty!"

There is no rejoicing here, Cardinal Collins and his expert adviser, Neil MacCarthy are epic failures in any and every discussion they have ever had with the Ontario Government. This is just one more to add to the legacy.

The Most Severe economic meltdown is happening in Portugal now as we speak, and the Global Press/Media is oblivious to this Reality.
