How can a true Shepherd of Christ protect his flock from an evil and megalomaniacal Pope!

Toronto's Thomas Cardinal Collins - Mass in the Presence of a Greater Prelate 
Vigil of Pentecost, 2014 at St. Lawrence the Martyr Parish

Much is being written around the world about the heinous action of Bergoglio with his motu proprio designed to destroy the Holy Mass according to its ancient use. Make no mistake that this is his goal. Can we take to heart that numerous bishops have invoked Canon 87 §1.? 

Can. 87 §1. A diocesan bishop, whenever he judges that it contributes to their spiritual good, is able to dispense the faithful from universal and particular disciplinary laws issued for his territory or his subjects by the supreme authority of the Church. He is not able to dispense, however, from procedural or penal laws nor from those whose dispensation is specially reserved to the Apostolic See or some other authority.

This is what Bishop Paprocki did and surprisingly, Bishop Rick Stika of Knoxville. There have been others. The fundamental problem is that this may not mean what, on first reading, we think it means. First, the Pope is the supreme lawgiver and is not bound by Canon Law. Second, "particular disciplinary laws" would be akin to fasting. So, how does a bishop overrule a pope? Father John Zuhlsdorf believes the Canon applies. 

No doubt that some bishops are overjoyed to use this opportunity to destroy the Mass of the Ages and have, most would seem to me to be at least neutral. I have no doubt that the overwhelming majority are saying to themselves, "do I really need this right now?" In some cases, they may not be favourable of the traditional rite but if they have one or two churches in the diocese with it, then it is in their minds "managed" and "contained." That's okay, the future is on our side.

Yet, as Sebastian Morello from The European Conservative notes, there is a goal that the faithful be "scattered and purged." Our job is to not let that happen. It is an excellent read.

Now, presumably, if Pope Francis can reject the claims of his predecessor by the click of his fingers, his successor will be free to do the same to him. Catholic faithful attached to the traditional liturgy may derive comfort from this, as there remains the possibility that the whole thing could be reversed by a future edict. Do not be consoled, for here lies the path to ever-intensifying ecclesiastical tyranny. For example, the reason why revolutionary governments become so draconian when they attain power by the overthrowing of government, immediately requiring a secret police and increasingly severe punishments, is because the revolutionary government has, in acquiring government, legitimised revolution against government. So too, in the game of predecessor repudiations, evermore draconian measures are needed to prevent any reversal by a future edict. In the case of the new Motu Proprio, the measures are so harsh that it is clearly hoped that by the time any future pope is inclined to reverse them, the faithful attached to the traditional liturgy will have been scattered and purged.

Reflections on Pope Francis’s Motu Proprio "Traditionis Custodes" - The European Conservative

It goes without saying once again that the actions of Jorge Bergoglio in this matter are heinous, mean-spirited, cruel, vindictive and lack care and charity for the faithful. That does not come from the Holy Spirit. There can be no doubt that this is an act of evil by a man so utterly devoid of true charity and compassion that he can only be described as a sociopath. 

If only that papal monster, Bergoglio had a heart or cared about yours and mine - or our souls!

A Cry From the Heart About ‘Traditionis Custodes’ and the Latin Mass| National Catholic Register (ncregister.com)

Bishop Paprocki uses Canon Law to set aside Bergoglio's demonic action against the Holy Mass, But what about Wagga Wagga?

The Most Reverend Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of the American Diocese of Springfield in Illinois has used Canon Law to literally set aside Bergoglio's demonic attack on the Holy Mass according to its ancient use. At the same time other bishops are being punitive and acting to or more than to this wretched document such as the Bishop of Wagga Wagga in Australia, Mark Edwards, "'The Extraordinary Form of our Mass, also called the Traditional Latin Mass, is to be phased out in the Catholic Church. Pope Francis asks each bishop to decide how the Missale Romanum of 1962 is to be used for celebration of Mass in the diocese for which he has care. However, the Holy Father instructs that it must be in such a way as to lead us all to celebrate Holy Mass as revised by St Paul VI." 

Is this the unity that Bergoglio sought? "Bishop against bishop, cardinal against cardinal," the words of Our Most Blessed Mother Mary to Sister Agnes Sasagawa at Akita, Japan.

Bishop Paprocki is a Shepherd, Edwards is a hireling. Bergoglio is a demon.

Prove me wrong.

Catholics: Do not succumb to Bergoglio's gaslighting. No more co-dependency. Resist!

Every once in a while, a comment comes along that deserves to be a post on its own. This is one of those times and it will follow, after a few words of my own, below.

Bergoglio's act to abrogate Summorum Pontificum has all the seeds to ultimately, in time, destroy the Holy Mass and the ancient Missal. Unlike Paul VI, it is a direct attack on the Papal Bull, Qui Primum, and is a classic case of an abuse of power. On a human level, the pain that people are enduring over this as evidenced by comments on blogs and social media is dreadful. This alone proves that the act by Bergoglio is not of God. God the Holy Spirit cools the heat and warms the chill. We are reminded of this in the Sequence of Pentecost. He does not heat up further the hot or kill of others by freezing them, He moderates, He brings peace, He is Love. He does not bring confusion and sadness and fear and dread and pain. To say that He does is blasphemy. As bad as Bergoglio's actions are, the defence of it on social media is dreadful. We are being gaslighted, the bullies are blaming the victim.

The Longenecker's of the world are stinking frauds when they write that nasty bloggers and "mad-trads" and "rad-trads" have caused this. First, if this papal monster is that thin-skinned then he has more problems, in addition, be being a sociopath. Second, it is bovine excrement. It is an excuse. These men are not stupid, they are evil. They know the demographics, particularly in Europe and North America. They see that these Latin Mass communities are growing and that young priests want it, want the faith of our fathers. They need to destroy it because it does represent the future. They have done this because they hate Christ, hate the Catholic Faith, are probably possessed, sodomites or atheists or all of that and more. They came in to destroy, not to save souls, not to love God and serve His flock. 

The proof that this is not from God is in how you, my dear reader, are feeling. The fact is this. You have been abused by a bad step-father who hates you and what you love. He has defiled your mother and raped her and has now turned his sights on you. That is what you feel. God did not do this. A demon did.

A demon named Jorge Bergoglio.

Now, from our reader.

I refuse to waste any hope at all in these men. We have the same type in the political realm, the weak kind with not enough conviction to do anything worth much. A few squeaks and it's all over. Done that. 

There seem to be two paths. One, resist Bergoglio and his satanic extermination of the Holy Mass. Recognize it for the hateful act of a man facing his own mortality yet determined to go out shaking his fist at God. He was hired for a reason. The Traditional Latin Mass threatens them because it is the proper worship of God as God intended. Catholics should stop being lazy and looking for social hours and go to the TLM and see for themselves Catholicism. You've been robbed. Go reclaim your heritage. Laziness about Latin is no excuse. Get a Sunday Missal from eBay with Latin on one side and English on the other. Get one from about 1962 or earlier. You don't need to know every word to follow the Mass, and absolutely nobody cares if you don't know the Rite. You're there for God, not others. People are focused on God, not you. 

For what it's worth, I don't think Bergoglio can be pope. No pope would do this. He does not own the Holy Mass, and only an imposter would try to eliminate what he does not own. He does not have the right to kill the TLM unless he does indeed "own the Holy Mass" A pope is to defend the faith and PASS DOWN THE FAITH INTACT. 

If men of the church will not resist him to the face, we must, and if that means leave for the SSPX, or even do without the Mass of the Ages and be excommunicated for the rest of our lives, so be it. But no more co-dependent relations with Bergoglio. It is sick. It is exhausting, it is depressing, it is over. Ana Milan's solution sounds spot on. But I do not believe the men of the church will do one thing more than make a few squeaks. I will not waste a moment waiting for them any longer.

Cardinal Mueller: The plan is to "Condemn the Extraordinary Form to extinction! - - Our job is not to let that happen!

Former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Gerhard Mueller has issued a column in The Catholic Thing regarding Bergoglio's attack on the Holy Roman Mass of the Church Fathers. As a column to be posted shortly on Quo Primum will note, Paul VI did not abrogate the Mass in its 1570 codified form, he did not disobey Quo Primum, as I have said in many discussions, he simply set it aside. Cardinal Mueller does not say this specifically but he clearly annunciates Bergoglio's intent. By choking off new locations, new priests and hoping enough bishops hostile to the Mass shut it down, he will "condemn the Extraordinary Form to extinction in the long run."

Cardinal Mueller also notes something patently obvious on the first reading of that cruel and vindictive work of Bergoglio. By "abrogating" the greatest work of our Pope, Benedict XVI, Bergoglio has set in motion its abrogation and not only it, but "all his works" as we state in the post 55 Holy Saturday Easter Vigil. Mueller clearly states that "The provisions of Traditionis Custodes are of a disciplinary, not dogmatic nature and can be modified again by any future pope."

The frequent complaint by these who hate tradition and noted in this wretched work of Bergoglio and his minions is that we who favour the traditional Mass and choose not to attend the Ordinary Form of the Roman Right reject it as invalid as do we the Second Vatican Council. At the Mass I attended yesterday and lead the choir the priest is a decade, at least, younger than I. He remembers not this liturgy as I do in my younger years. He was educated in a modernist seminary, ordained according to the ritual books of Paul VI. Yet, here I was, here we were, at a traditional Latin Mass where a post-Vatican II priest offered the Holy Sacrifice and confected the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Good grief - it is elemental logic that it follows that I, we, must implicitly accept Vatican II - even at the same time questioning language and ambiguity, implementation and interpretation! 

Mueller notes the vindictive attack by Bergoglio on the little people: "Without the slightest empathy, one ignores the religious feelings of the (often young) participants in the Masses according to the Missal John XXIII. (1962) Instead of appreciating the smell of the sheep, the shepherd here hits them hard with his crook. It also seems simply unjust to abolish celebrations of the “old” rite just because it attracts some problematic people: abusus non tollit usum."

Bergoglio's work is taking a chilling effect in some places. I note that in the Philippines, Masses were cancelled and not even able to be held yesterday, the Eighth Sunday After Pentecost. This is criminal, uncharitable, mean-spirited and demonic. Those bishops will pay the ultimate price before the LORD. 

In most places, certainly here in Toronto, it was normal. There will be more said about this soon. We must pray for Our Lord and Blessed Mother to pour out graces that bishops have hearts of charity and care for those sheep on the "peripheries." Clearly, the chief bishops does not and has by this act, displayed himself as the ultimate hypocrite.
