Cardinal Thomas Collins: Pay attention to Cardinal Burke: Forces of the 'Great Reset' have used COVID to advance '...

The Gospel today is "This is the Record of John." It is Gaudete Sunday and in

Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and after today in Bolton, Woodabridge, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Newmarket, Markham, Schomberg, Aurora and Snowball, there is:

Notwithstanding this abomination, let us all Gaudete!

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I say, rejoice. Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is nigh. Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:4-7

Y'all get the "Soup Nazi" reference, right?

Okay, now enjoy and note my own published editorial arrangement of this most sublime offering by Orlando Gibbons.

"This is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed and denied not, and said plainly, 'I am not the Christ.' And they asked him, What art thou then? Art thou Elias?  And he said, 'I am not.'  Art thou the prophet?  And he answered, 'No.' Then said they unto him, What art thou? that we may give an answer unto them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? And he said, 'I am the voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: make straight the way of the Lord."

 

No Mass for you in York Region

York Region (for my American readers, these were formerly known as Counties) is now under the lockdown diktat of Ontario Politburo General-secretary Douglas Ford effective Monday at 12:00 A.M. York joins Toronto and Peel Region in the imposed lockdown. As with many places in the United States of America, Walmart and Costco remain open but the Main Street dress shop or shoe store remain closed. Home Depot can sell a stove or washer but Bad Boy and The Hudson's Bay Company, cannot. It is illogical. What is also illogical is that the population centres are the three cities in the south Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham as well  Newmarket and Aurora with the rest of York being bucolic countryside, rural farms and villages. Why wipe out what is left of Schomberg (including the Latin Mass) or the hamlet of Snowball?

To his credit, last evening Cardinal Thomas Collins issued a letter wherein he states: 

"It is increasingly frustrating for all of us to see certain businesses open while others remain closed and that some, including places of worship, appear to be severely restricted with little evidence to suggest they are a cause of transmission. Earlier this week, I communicated these concerns directly to Premier Ford."

At the same time, His Eminence again goes beyond Ford's inane reduction of church capacity to ten by eliminating public worship in these regions. The Cardinal reiterates that over 13,000 Canadians have died of SARS-CoV-2 which originated in Wuhan, China. The Cardinal states that he recognizes the "significant spiritual suffering that these restrictions have placed both upon our clergy and the faithful that look to us for guidance and direction." He continues that he hopes we will "soon be able fully (sic) to resume public worship." He also states that "we have demonstrated our ability to safely worship together."  

Again, this writer reiterates the same as before, there is no reason to close the public celebration of Mass. Abide by the provincial diktat and protest it. It is worth the challenge of limiting the congregation and at the same time, take the province to court.

The Cardinal has again advised that churches remain open for public prayer at the pastor's discretion. Obviously, this is happening, right?

Toronto Catholics, are your churches open?

Are you able to receive the Sacraments privately? 

Advise me at voxcantoris@rogers.com if your pastor is not accessible and we will report it directly to the chancery and here. 

Do you even care?

 

Fighting Back Against the Satanic Mob

Bergoglio goes full out now on globalism, new capitalism and pro-abortionists. Flee from this evil monster! Dr. Taylor Marshall goes there, "APOCALPTIC!"

O God in heaven, FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT, deliver us from the evil Bergoglio, smite him and confound him in his actions. 

Flea from this Bergoglio. Nearly eight years now we have endured this man, this mocker of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Mother. Catholics now lulled by his "Year of St. Joseph." Nothing this man does his good. It is a fraud, a charade, a veil so you think he is still Catholic. Never flea the Catholic Church but flea this Bergoglio. The man is a fraud. I now believe that he is an atheist. 

Ralph Martin pleads with us in a video released yesterday to "Flea now - (from) the wrath that is coming."  (183) Ralph Martin - Flee Now! – The Wrath That is Coming - YouTube pleading, "save yourself from this perverse generation." Acts 2:40

The unleashing of God's wrath is upon us and it can no longer be held back. This false Vicar of Christ, this unbelieving atheist monster, Jorge Bergoglio has unleashed the restrainer with his worship of idols. Those complicit bishops and cardinals are easy to find. We know who they are. They have stopped you from going to Mass and they are about to cancel your Christ's Mass.

Was it not bad enough when he permitted the blasphemous lie that the two pregnant idols were Holy Mary and St. Elizabeth or that this satanic image is "Our Lady of the Amazon?" (no such venerated title). He did not denounce these claims. Was it not enough that he blasphemed Our Lady on the Immaculate Conception in 2015? No, it was not enough. For it was on the great Feast of Our Lady that this evil monster was partnering with relations of the Rothchild's and with Sachs and others in this Vatican Council for Inclusive Capitalism which even links to their social media. 

How much more proof do we need, and for you, there is no Mass!

O God in heaven, FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, deliver us from the evil Bergoglio, smite him and confound him in his actions. Send us a holy shepherd who will fight and lead your people.

Dr. Taylor Marshall goes there - "apocalyptic!"

Cardinal Collins - bullies back down! What are you waiting for!

The "Progressive" Conservative government of Manitoba has just been dealt a blow, backing down after threats of a lawsuit, now permitting a drive-in church with people in their cars. Ridiculous that one must be in a car but the point is made. 

Cardinal Collins, bullies back down. You know that. I did you a favour and did it to Rosica, and what thanks did I get?

Come on man. You can do this.

Douglas Crosbie and his masked marauders violate Ontario laws at Creche - no visits at Christmas!

"WISE MEN WEAR MASKS! So do good shepherds! This year's Christmas Crib at the Chancery has a COVID-19 pandemic addition. The Magi and the shepherds, who are not part of the Holy Family "bubble" are wearing masks! Since they cannot follow the social distancing protocol, the masks are mandatory! Thanks to the Christmas decorators for reminding us of our responsibility to care for one another especially during these dangerous times!" Latest Heart to Heart from Bishop Crosby, OMI - Diocese of Hamilton (hamiltondiocese.com)

Dangerous times? I'd like to find a good shepherd with a mask or without. There is only one, The, Good Shepherd. The rest of these immuno-compromised, episcopal-effetes  are "hirelings" at best and "wolves in sheep's clothing" at worst. 

This is the same Douglas Crosbie, OMI, who as Pastor at St. Joseph's Ottawa presided over and encouraged his congregants to harass four priests attempting to found an Oratory of St. Philip Neri at St. Brigid's Parish, now an event centre. I know, I was there. The same bishop that brought along two "co-pastors" whatever that means, plucking them out of Labrador and installing them in two historical Hamilton parishes. "Co-Pastors."

Co-Pastors? That sounds dangerous.

Toronto church files constitutional challenge over COVID-19 restrictions - Cardinal Collins, will you join the lawsuit?

Peter Youngren is an evangelical Christian pastor in Toronto. His worship centre is known as the Toronto Celebration Church. If you view Youngren's video, he shows what we all know is happening in Catholic churches. Seating is spaced and numbers restricted to 30%, sanitation is all around. There is no evidence that the China Virus has been spreading in churches or synagogues or mosques for that matter.  

His argument is based upon equal treatment under Canada's Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. For my American readers, our Constitutional rights are not absolute as in the United States of America, they can be limited as in the case of hate-crime legislation limiting freedom of expression. There is also a provision for a province to opt-out of a supreme court decision using what is called the "notwithstanding clause" which has been used primarily by the liberal-fascist Province of Quebec, in defending its language laws. 

However, the clause that is vital is 15 on the matter of Equality Rights and is relevant as one considers the permit of Costco and Walmart, American corporate conglomerates to open while the mom and pop retailer is closed, it is relevant that The Bay and Bad Boy cannot open to sell a washer or dryer or refrigerator, but Home Depot can. Why these retailers have not launched a Charter challenge is not certain. Pastor Youngren bases his argument on this:

15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

This is the very argument that Thomas Cardinal Collins has and has failed to use. He has failed to lead the Assembly of Bishops of Ontario, some of whom have implemented regulations that are even illegal under the Ontario health regulations, such as demanding evidence of a medical
mask exemption. He has failed us.

Collins is in a unique position. He could rally all religious leaders. In a grand gesture of ecumenical action and inter-religious dialogue he could have summoned Protestant, Jewish and Muslims to jointly petition Ford for change or the courts for relief. He has failed to do anything but reduce the inane limit of Ford's ten, even in an auditorium the size of Youngren's or St. Clare of Assisi in Woodbridge of the same size, to zero by banning all public worship of God. 

It is tempting to write that Collins is a disgrace to the episcopacy but sadly, he is typical of the weak, effeminate and fearful regime that has planted itself in control of the Church in Canada.

Would that we had someone such as Pastor Youngren.

TORONTO — A church in Toronto's northeast corner has filed a constitutional challenge over Ontario's COVID-19 health regulations. 

The Toronto International Celebration Church says in court documents that it intends to question the constitutional validity of the Reopening Ontario Act. 

The notice of application says that the church is challenging the provincial health guideline that limits weddings, funerals, and religious services to 10 or fewer people in regions of Ontario that are under lockdown like Toronto and Peel Region. 

Peter Youngren, the founding pastor of the church, says in an online video that the church's congregation are not COVID-19 deniers and that they have carefully adhered to public health restrictions. 

"At a time when many are suffering with isolation, depression, and a sense of despair, the most loving thing a local church can do is throw its doors wide open while maintaining public health standards," said Youngren. 

He said that his church's auditorium has capacity for 1,100 people and a maximum attendance of 10 doesn't seem equitable compared to liquor stores and big-box retailers that are still operating at close to capacity. 

"We are deeply concerned about equal treatment under the law," said Youngren. "We want every business and institution, including churches, to receive unbiased treatment." 

The application argues that lockdown restrictions go against the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees freedom of conscience and religion as well as freedom of peaceful assembly. 

Michael Bryant, executive director of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and former attorney general of Ontario, said he applauded the constitutional challenge. 

“The limitation on this charter right has the proportionality of a sledgehammer," said Bryant. 

"This constitutional challenge is much needed to engage the judicial branch in our democracy, so we will seek to be heard by the Court." 

Documents filed to Ontario's Superior Court of Justice note that before Toronto was moved to a renewed lockdown on Nov. 23 the Toronto International Celebration Church complied with regional guidelines and operated at 30 per cent capacity. 

The legal documents also say the church ensured congregants wore masks in its building and kept members of different households at least two metres apart. 

Given the building's regular seating capacity, the documents say that the stricter regulation "represents a 99 per cent reduction on the number of worshippers who may attend an in-person service at the church." 

Lawyers for the church told the attorneys general of Ontario and Canada in a letter that they will be moving immediately to secure a motion date for an urgent injunction. 

Nicko Vavassis, a spokesman for Ontario's Attorney General, said that the ministry received the notice of application and that it was being reviewed but any further comment would be inappropriate as the matter is before the court.

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

 

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY  

COMMEMORATION OF SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT 

DOUBLE, FIRST CLASS / WHITE

From all eternity Father, Son, and Holy Spirit chose Mary to be the Mother of the Word Incarnate. It was unthinkable that she be defiled by sin, in any way or for the least second of time. Therefore, in the instant of creating Mary's person, the Trinity made her immaculate. This grace, like every other grace granted since the fall of Adam, was given her through the merits of Christ. She was truly saved, redeemed, not from an evil already present, but from an evil that threatened. 

INTROIT Isa. 61:10

I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God, for He has clothed me with the garment of salvation and covered me with the robe of justice, like a bride adorned with her jewels.

Ps. 29:2. I will extol You, O Lord, for You have upheld me, and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

V. Glory be . . . 

COLLECT

O God, by foreseen merits of the death of Christ, You shielded Mary from all stain of sin and preserved the Virgin Mother immaculate at her conception so that she might be a fitting dwelling place for Your Son. Cleanse us from sin through her intercession so that we also may come to You untainted by sin. Through Our Lord . . . 

Commemoration of the 2nd Sunday of Advent

O Lord, stir up our hearts to accept the message of Your only-begotten Son, so that, through His coming on earth, we may serve Him always with a pure intention; who lives and rules with You . . . 

EPISTLE  Prov. 8:22-35

The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning. I was set up from eternity, and of old, before the earth was made. The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived, neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out. The mountains, with their huge bulk, had not as yet been established: before the hills, I was brought forth: He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.

When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law, and compass, he enclosed the depths: When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters: When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when he balanced the foundations of the earth; I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times; Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.

Now, therefore, ye children, hear me: blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors. He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord. 

GRADUAL  Judith 13:23; 15:10

By the Lord the Most High God you are blessed, O Virgin Mary, above all women upon earth. V. You are the glory of Jerusalem, you are the joy of Israel, you are the honor of our people. 

Alleluia, alleluia! V.  Cant. 4:7

You are all fair, O Mary, and there is in you no stain of original sin.

Alleluia! 

GOSPEL  Luke 1:26-28

At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel being come in, said unto her: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." 

OFFERTORY ANTIPHON  Luke 1:28

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women. Alleluia! 

SECRET

Accept this saving host, O Lord, which we offer you on the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We firmly believe that she was shielded from all stain of sin by Your prevenient grace; may we be freed from all our faults through her holy intercession. Through Our Lord . . . 

Commemoration of the 2nd Sunday of Advent

O Lord, let our humble offering of these prayers and sacrifices appease You for our sins. We have no merits of our own to depend on; so assist us with Your aid. Through Our Lord . . . 

COMMUNION ANTIPHON

Glorious things are said of you, O Mary, for He who is mighty has done great things for you. 

POSTCOMMUNION

O Lord our God, may the Sacrament that we have received heal in us the wounds of that sin from which blessed Mary alone was preserved by her Immaculate Conception. Through Our Lord . . . 

Commemoration of the 2nd Sunday of Advent

We have just been nourished with Your Body and Blood, O Lord. Teach us through this Sacramental rite to despise the things of earth and to yearn for the things of heaven. Through Our Lord . . .
