On a personal note, I know about twenty people right now with SARS-CoV-2 and most likely, its latest variant. Of that, four have not taken the injections, all others have and some of them, three.
The Lancet has now published a letter that the "epidemiological relevance of the Covid-19 vaccinated population is increasing." Specifically:
"High COVID-19 vaccination rates were expected to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in populations by reducing the number of possible sources for transmission and thereby to reduce the burden of COVID-19 disease. Recent data, however, indicate that the epidemiological relevance of COVID-19 vaccinated individuals is increasing. In the UK it was described that secondary attack rates among household contacts exposed to fully vaccinated index cases was similar to household contacts exposed to unvaccinated index cases (25% for vaccinated vs 23% for unvaccinated). 12 of 31 infections in fully vaccinated household contacts (39%) arose from fully vaccinated epidemiologically linked index cases."
Not only do we see this in our own day-to-day lives, but we have also now had confirmation from a respected international medical journal.
Yet, we still see people being coerced with mandates, testing regimes on the "unvaccinated" yet not on the "vaccinated," and the whipping up of hatred against them by the Prime Minister of Canada and Presidents of France and the United States of America. Could you have ever believed it? France, with its "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité! And in our own North American once-great Nation-States, "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" or in Canada, "Life, liberty and the security of the person." Our leaders are guilty of treason.
If you, dear reader, choose or have chosen to take one of these "vaccines" (not really vaccines or they would work but rather, experimental therapeutics) it is your business. Many of my friends and colleagues have out of grave necessity. This is an individual decision, it is a matter of conscience and discussion between the individual, family and doctor. It is not to ever be coercive.
Reflecting back on Bergoglio, he is a manipulative and cunning liar. The teaching of the Church is clear as articulated by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith:
Friends, ignore Bergoglio in all he says and does that conflicts with the faith and traditional magisterial teaching through the ages. He is a wicked man. His judgement will be most severe and eternal. May he repent. The judgement on Trudeau, Biden, Macron and all the employers who coerced their employees putting many into unemployment will be seen by all at the Last Judgement. The mask is falling, many who took the jabs are now waking up. I know it, I hear from them every day. They took the two, the three, now their families are all sick, and themselves. The mask is falling.
Stay strong. (you thought I was going to write, "stay safe!)
Update
I am updating this post. Earlier tonight I sang the Traditional Latin Mass for this great feast of Epiphany. When I arrived, I found an envelope marked, "To Vox Cantoris for Dr. Mary O'Connor." Thank you, dear reader, from Dr. O'Connor who has written to say that, "The support and generosity of people have been so overwhelming."
Tomorrow, January 7, is her first day in court in Ottawa up against the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons. Please pray for her and if you can, please support her battle with a monetary contribution to her legal fund.
My dear readers,
A few weeks ago, I wrote here about a friend who was dying and whose family was in dire straights. You came through in so many ways. I am here to ask you again.
Dr. Mary O'Connor is known to me. She is a faithful Catholic and has been helpful to me at this time of virus exploitation, government diktats, threats and medical manipulation. For this work to me and to many, many others, she is under attack by the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons. I have offered Dr. O'Connor the service of this blog to assist in her legal fundraising campaign. As of this writing, it is at $12,975.00 of a $20,000.00 goal with two days left in the campaign. No doubt, it can be extended and no doubt, you can not only help this reach but blow right through that modest target.

Dr. Mary O'Connor has become the target of legal action by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) after refusing to cooperate with an investigation into why she allegedly gave medical exemptions for the experimental COVID shots.
On December 23, 2021, after nearly 50 years of faithful, ethical and professional service to her patients, Dr. O'Connor was suspended by the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons.
According to the college’s filing against O’Connor, the investigation concerns “her conduct in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and her completion of medical exemptions for COVID-19 vaccinations and diagnostic testing.”
Instead of releasing the records, the college contends that O’Connor insisted they must first “define COVID-19″ and that she “will not be able to move forward without the College’s precise definition of COVID-19.”
The college also says that O’Connor requested them to “advise if [the college] knows the ingredients of the gene therapy experiments, the so-called vaccinations, being administered to humanity without informed consent.”
The filing in Superior Court, which seeks to mandate that the doctors provide medical charts, patient information, and even allow investigators entry into their offices to copy or remove “necessary documents,” is set to be heard in January.
O’Connor’s lawyer, Michael Swinwood, said she will fight the case in court. “I don’t see the need for an investigation,” the attorney said. “There is no malpractice or incompetence involved.”
According to the Ottawa Citizen, the college has taken issue not only with the writing of medical exemptions but the general conduct of the doctors, specifically mentioning O’Connor’s use of the term “gene-therapy experiments” as opposed to calling the injections “vaccinations.”
Please
support Dr. O'Connor in her brave stand for patients' rights. All money raised
will go towards paying her significant legal fees.

Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada declares the "unvaccinated" as public enemies. In a stunning interview from last September, Justin Trudeau is quoted:
"Extremists, who do not believe in science who are often misogynists and racists, too! A sect, a small group who are taking up space and here, we have to make a choice, as a leader, as a country. Do we tolerate these people? We want to get back to the things we like doing and these people are not going to stop us now.” Justin Trudeau
These people?
Section 319(2) of the Criminal Code of Canada:
I'm a racist, eh? Married to a woman who is from Capetown and "coloured" according to the Apartheid regime? What is she, then? This, from a putrid, little scumbag who wore Blackface?
Who's the racist?

Dear friends of the St. Boniface Institute,
Austria is descending into a dictatorship.
Since Monday the 15th of November, unvaccinated people are officially second-class citizens in Austria, they are confined to their homes and are not allowed to visit their relatives, whereas the vaccinated continue with their lives. This has been implemented despite the fact that the vaccine does not contain the spread of the virus. This is done solely to create division and to paint the unvaccinated as the public enemy in order to distract from the government's complete failure in leadership.
But this wasn’t enough for them, today they announced that Austria will be the first western country to implement forced vaccinations for its citizens. In his announcement, the Austrian chancellor Alexander Schallenberg referred to the unvaccinated as “assassins to the health system” and declared that every Austrian will have to be vaccinated by February 2022.
We as Austrians know, that this is not the first time in our recent history that citizens have to present their health status on request (Gesundheitspass), a practice that was officially condemned and forbidden at the Nuremberg trials.
“The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have the legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior forms of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision.”
When one reads the introduction to the code, it is extremely clear, how everything the Austrian government is implementing at the moment, is in direct contradiction to this.
The past months have already been a challenge for the unvaccinated, with the pressure to get the vaccine rising and rising, the 3G turning to 2,5G and 2G (referring to the conditions one has to fulfill to participate in normal life, “Geimpft, Genesen, Getested” -> vaccinated, recovered, tested).
Just as we have been repeatedly lied to over the past months, whether it was the Covid-death toll, the lockdowns, the masks and so much more, those, that cracked under the pressure and got the vaccine involuntarily will realize, how they have been betrayed, when one or two or three or four shots are not enough.
We have decided to actively fight against this morally depraved tyranny in any way possible. We will not give up, the more the government tries to back us into a corner, the more we will stand up for our rights and liberty! We are very aware, that we have to fight the fight here in Austria. If Austria falls and implements these rules, the insanity will spread and many more governments will follow suit.
We urge you to join the resistance by supporting the fight for freedom in your country and protest in solidarity in front of the Austrian embassies.
Thank you and God bless,
Alexander Tschugguel

The most recent Letter to Friends of Benefactors" of the Society of St. Pius X in Canada has a worthwhile section on a matter recently addressed on this blog. I urge you to visit the link and read it in its entirety. If only we heard such logic and clarity from our bishops.
I point to the matter of wearing a mask over one's nose or mouth in the church where, as in the case of the Province of Ontario, the government's medical authorities and Premier have commanded it and in our churches, our Catholic bishops have affirmed it and even police it.
"If the unjust law goes against God's law, I may not obey it. But if it is not directly against God's law, I am not bound to obey it, but I must make a judgement. If submitting to the law would lead to a greater good, then I may submit to the unjust demand."
If one peruses my posts on this matter, this is the very logic that I used to describe the matter.
The mask is not against the Laws of God, it is not a matter of morality or conscience. While one can ignore the masking request in those things under their own control that is the person's right. In a church, public space and owned completely under corporation sole by the bishop, one may consider the matter unjust. Yet, submitting to the annoying and bothersome and perhaps, inane and insane request does fulfill a "greater good" to the "unjust demand." That is, the very survival of the parish no matter what form of the Mass is at stake.
The matter of the injection is something completely different. It can be good and charitable and necessary, notwithstanding the abortion question and the health effects we see. For example: in one case, a person takes the injection out of charity to one's elderly parents who have taken the injections and have a real fear of the disease. The charity is to take it so one can assist, visit or live with them and relieve them of the stress and concern. This is particularly charitable when the person would have not taken it if the circumstances were different. Another is a man that must provide for his family whose employer has used unjust threats and coercion. He must survive, he must support his family, he cannot allow them to suffer and cannot find a new appointment or receive government insurance due to the evil actions of his employer and the government. Both are cases known to me. Both are justified.
In my own case, I have not and will not take the injections. First, I believe I already had SARS-CoV-2 in that mysterious illness in December 2019 and, I have judged, based upon my research, that there is more risk from the injection rather than the virus, should I catch it or catch it again. The matter of abortion and the testing on fetal stem cells is a factor because so many of our medications have been done this way and we do not even know. For example, is my Wigwag prescription tested on some kind of fetal stem lines? It seems so. What is the difference? I need the Wigwag, it is not my fault how it was developed. I do not need any of these injections. This is how we must each interpret it for ourselves. Using Catholic teaching, our own well-formed conscience and logic.
We are in a time of tyrants. Where insanity, literally, has taken over the minds and spirits of our leaders. Where some, out of misplaced fear, have shut themselves up for 18 months in a prison of real or imaginary walls.
We cannot change them. We must outlast them.
What is the correct attitude towards abuse of power?
We should note first that the power of the state or of the Church is not the same as the power of that of parents. Parents have dominative power over their children. They can command their minor children to do anything except sin. The State and the Church authorities have legal power which is limited. Bob's dad can tell Bob at what time he has to go to bed, but the government can't tell Bob or Bob's dad at what time to go to bed.
Saint Thomas Aquinas sums up the teaching of the Church on how we should treat an unjust law [1]. The laws of God can never be unjust (for He Himself is the rule) and so we are always bound to obey them. The laws of man however can be unjust either because (ed. they are) opposed to God’s Law or because (ed. they are) damaging to some human good. If an unjust law is opposed to God’s Law, it cannot be observed even if we had to pay with the price of our life. Saint Thomas More was ordered to recognise Henry VIII as head of the Church. This was a lie and therefore against God’s Law. He chose to be put to death rather than to lie.
If however the law is not directly opposed to God’s Law, but simply very burdensome, or intended by the lawgiver for some ulterior motive, or quite simply, something that the lawgiver has no power to command, this law does not oblige in conscience. If the government required me to have my children take part in secularist propaganda classes and I refuse; although I am disobeying the law, it is not a sin.
Note the difference: if the unjust law goes against God's law, I may not obey it. But if it is not directly against God's law, I am not bound to obey it, but I must make a judgement. If submitting to the law would lead to a greater good, then I may submit to the unjust demand. This is what our Blessed Lord meant when He said, “if a man were to take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him.” (Mt. 5, 40) He gave us the example in this when he submitted to the unjust sentence of the high priests and of Pilate and gave Himself to die in order to save us from our sins.

TORONTO CATHOLIC WITNESS: Catholics under persecution: Will we restore in Christ or reset in Satan?
Well, well, well, have I created a little dust storm.
Perusing over the inbox notice of today's posts at Canon212, I find that someone with a blog that I've never heard has judged me and found me wanting.
If you come into my house and I ask you to take off your shoes, will you do it? If a bishop owns a church, which he does, and he says to come into my church you need to follow my direction (based upon legal public health directives which you have the right to disagree with, as do I in most cases) to wear a mask due to a pandemic. You do it. You do it because he is the property owner under Corporation Sole.
If you take the position that you will not attend any Mass where you are "forced to wear a mask" and you don't attend anywhere else because of these same requirements, then you are in an objective state of mortal sin because you willfully missed Mass out of your own accord.
At more than one combox, you have determined it more necessary to mock me than to address the issue. As for debate and that I can't stand it? The answer is, you can't debate the actual problem and how to deal with it. There isn't a layman, cleric or otherwise in all of Canada who has held the feet of our episcopal hirelings to the fire as this writer, and yet, you mock me? You wish to make me the issue? You're so blind and prideful you can't even address the issue.
Three Latin Masses in Canada shut down over this issue, by pastors with or without the direct order of the bishop!
You would rather defy diocesan authorities, including the bishop, and lose the Latin Mass. For example, here in Toronto amongst other places, these same diocesan officials have decreed no Holy Communion on the tongue. There are Catholics who have not received the Holy Eucharist in all this time because they stand on a point of principle, yet they still go to Mass. You, in your arrogance and pride, wherever you are that you are not in this situation, would now deny them the Holy Mass. You sit there in your mommy's basement in your dirty underwear in front of your computer without a regard for these folks in the peripheries.
You're a fool and a disgrace.
Do my self-righteous American friends not get this? Hey, some advice, worry about your own collapsing country since you have little concrete to add to the issues in some of our dioceses. Have any of you read this blog for the last eighteen months and the No Mass For You posts on Cardinal Collins.
Nothing, nothing is more important than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. You do what you can do get there. Even it means crawling on broken glass or wearing a mask over your nose and mouth. How can you even think otherwise.
Seeing how you have now determined to go to other blogs to comment about this writer and the reality you still refuse to address, validates my decision to shut down all comments, I had considered restoring them though without the anonymous trolls. I've now decided that it's just not worth it.
A mask is a minor inconvenience in order to preserve the good. You don't deserve the good.
In the early days of SARS-CoV-2 in March 2020, gosh, it seems so long ago, I wrote on this blog about the wearing of a mask in church. It was prompted by a specific community that refused to do it even though the pastors in whose churches the Latin Mass community was guest literally begged them to comply. Those two communities were eventually barred from the use of two churches. I spoke with the leadership there as did the President of Una Voce Canada and we both stated the same thing. You will lose the Mass, this is neither the line in the sand nor the sword to fall on. They did not listen.
Right now in the Province of Ontario, the Chief Medical Officer of Health has ordered the wearing of a mask in indoor spaces and municipalities are enforcing it through by-laws (to my American readers, and ordinance.)
This post is not about whether or not masks work to limit the spread of any virus, are good or bad for you or whether this is all a communist plot to turn us into compliant sheep. My own opinion is that they stop droplets which can contain a virus and in some conditions would be a benefit, for a few minutes, maybe an hour (as surgeons wear for many) not a big deal and it can be anything from a communist globalist plot to an irrational fear of death to a legitimate act in a pandemic. Therefore, any comments about the pros and cons of masks or outrage at this writer will not be published. So, I am telling you write now, save your time and move along!
It is not a matter of conscience. It is not compelled speech. It does not indicate agreement. It simply follows an order by the State and the owner of the property, (the bishop). While one may disagree, it is within the realm of "legitimate authority." St. Thomas More would have put on a mask to save the Mass and save his life. He would not have, out of sinful pride, jeopardized the survival of a community. He would have acted in charity to the needs of others and offered up the inconvenience of the hour in a mask to preserve something greater. He would "have given the Devil his due" to uphold the rule of law and preserve that which needs preserving.
Even the Society of St. Pius X priests whom I know have made it very clear. You wear a mask in the church so as not to provoke the State to shut them down! If it is good enough for them, in order to preserve their mission, it is good enough for you!
Do not! I repeat, do not give the Devil anything else. Do not put, out of your own pride, the existence of your Latin Mass community at risk of being killed of, particularly in this time of Traditionis Custodes. In fact, if you follow your pride and refuse to put on a mask because you think you are so much holier than those of us who do put it on, you are participating in an evil that will hurt everyone because you will have given the Devil and his minions the sword with which to cut off the heads of your neighbours. In your pride you are committing an uncharitable act against your neighbour because of the suffering that they will endure if the Devil and his minions have their way. Don't do it!
Friend, grow-up, man-up, woman-up, Catholic-up. It is not about you!
COMMENTS OFF
A letter was written by Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster to Arthur Roche, the Archbishop now in charge of the Congregation for Divine Worship. Both Bergoglian minions. I won't comment on it, you can read the actual correspondence and erudite commentary by Father Hunwicke, Father Zuhsdorf and Dr. Joseph Shaw below.
What I will state is this.
If you think there are no enemies to the traditional rite who will pounce to shut it down then you are a deluded idiot. If you think that your "right" not to wear a mask after you've been requested to do by your pastor on orders of the bishop who "owns" the property justifies your defiant political protest whilst putting the continuation of that Mass in jeopardy, you are a stupid fool and in the grave sin of disobedience to legitimate authority. You may not like it but that is a fact.
If you wish to stick your finger in a light socket, well, you go right ahead. You sin against God because it would be suicide. God set the laws of physics and you know it. God set the power of legitimate authority. You don't need to like it, you need to obey it. The bishop has the right to require your mask.
If you, out of your pride, do this, you are objectively committing a sin. It is not a sin to wear a mask. If it is a sin on the part of the bishop to require it, God will deal with him. If your intransigence causes people to suffer the loss of the Holy Mass, God will deal with you. The lack of respect you show for courageous priests trying to navigate this crisis for the good of your soul is a disgrace.
If this offends you, too bad. You have no right to cause other people the emotional and spiritual suffering that has already hit various communities over this issue and that of the repugnant motu proprio linked below.
They are coming for us. Why would you jeopardize everything? Shame on you. You dare put it at risk for your stupid pride? The sorrow of many will be on you.
I have no sympathy or respect for you. Whether you do for me is not my issue.
