No Mass for you on Christmas, but you can stand in line for the Holy Eucharist as if you were lining up to see Santa
Cardinal Collins has issued an update and letter of instruction to all priests in the Archdiocese of Toronto pertaining to Christmas and the situation with the diktats of Premier Douglas Ford. The Cardinal indicates that over this past week he has "reached out directly to Premier Ford with a request to open all of our parishes at 30% capacity for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day." He told the Premier that not one case of the China Virus "has been directly traced back to the church as the origin of transmission." The request was denied by Premier Ford.
I suppose that is something and he should be commended.

Collins acknowledges that lawsuits by businesses and other places of worship, Pastor Peter Youngren's actions as reported previously on this blog, being the prime case. It will be interesting later today when the decision of the court on the Youngren suit is issued. I am not optimistic given the history of our judges in these matters but one never knows. The equality rights provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of the Constitution of Canada would seem to be pretty clear that if a couple of hundred can be at Costco, ten in a church is not reasonable or equitable. If Youngren is successful will the Cardinal reopen the churches to 30% capacity and public Mass as the courts might rule or will he bow to the diktats of the Premier and the "virtuous" public health officials to remain in their good books.
The Cardinal recognizes "the essential nature of the Eucharist, the source and summit of our spiritual strength as Christians, and the importance of Christmas." He continues that he wants "to provide an opportunity for the faithful who wish to do so, to spend time, even if briefly, at their local parish and, where possible, to receive Holy Communion," yet there will be no public Mass on Christmas, at least not for you. "Of course, all priests are offering Mass for the people every day, which is a basic dimension of the priestly office," says Collins, in a what is nothing more than a gross example of clericalism. The priest has his Mass but there is "no Mass for you!"
The "Four Ends of Mass" are adoration, thanksgiving, atonement and petition. Nowhere in this age old definition of the Holy Sacrifice is receiving Holy Communion mentioned. It is attending Mass that is our duty to God and our need. Holy Communion, as the Cardinal explains, can always be given outside the Holy Mass, today, tomorrow on Christmas Eve or the Day. Is this not happening? Are people not requesting or are priests denying Holy Communion?
So rather than give God his due, the Cardinal is telling us that even a layman can clericalise and lead the Holy Communion Service and get you in and out in "7 or 8 minutes." Just about the same time it takes to pick up a Big Mac and fries at McDonald's.
This is nothing more than a complete and utter abandonment of duty as an Apostle of Jesus Christ, a cowardly betrayal of the faithful and an example of the worst kind of assembly theology and clericalist arrogance. It as if they don't believe that the Mass has any worshipful or efficacious value outside of receiving Holy Communion.

Thomas Cardinal Collins! Have you considered that you are "complicit in murder?"
Cardinal Collins! In your leaked webinar you spoke of "collateral damage." This is about your "collateral damage." Some of those who have died from this "collateral damage" are your flock.
.
Doug Ford is not our friend no matter how many times he repeats it. You are to be our Shepherd, our spiritual father, where are you? Open our churches now. Give us back the Mass at the previous limits, now! The spiritual struggle added to by those suffering loneliness, despair and depression is profound.
Cardinal Collins: Stop it now!
You are complicit in the suffering of people. You are complicit in this spiritual murder of your flock. You are complicit in the literal murder by the government diktats because you are not standing up to protest it and to defy it and to demand that they come and arrest you and your priests for defending our rights.
Cardinal Collins: Wake up!
Catholics of Toronto: wake up!

Veritas Obtains Recording Of Call Between Wikileaks Julian Assange & Law...
So, let me get this straight.
Julian Assange, in 2011, was warning the United States State Department that classified documents were circulating and could cause damage to America or specific individuals.
"Our view is that it is more your problem than ours but we have called the State Department and the (United States) Embassy for over a day trying to explain the urgency and they have not called back other than this call."
Open the floodgates Mr. President. Burn it all down.
PRESIDENT TRUMP. PARDON THIS MAN!
Cardinal Collins - open our churches for public worship and do it now!
It is long past time for all of us to call upon Toronto's Archbishop, Thomas Cardinal Collins, to defy the government diktats of the Province of Ontario and open the churches now for public worship to thirty percent. Now, let's be specific. The Government of Ontario and its Premier Douglas Ford did not close churches, not this time. They ridiculously limited attendance to ten, which in reality, when one includes the priest, would be eight or nine at the most. But you know, "it's just not worth it." The Cardinal has reacted to the inane limit of ten and the view of those around him of the worth of it and eliminated public Mass altogether. He has said that churches may remain open for private prayer at the discretion of the pastor. I know pastors that are doing this and are hearing confession, some in cars or driveways of their flock. Others, specifically in my neighborhood, are shut tight to keep the China Virus away.
Disgraceful. Not even in Poland did the communists shut down the churches, but in Toronto in 2020? Well, our spineless episcopal hirelings have done it themselves. Marx will be smiling from Hell.
They say, "follow the science." What science? This is a hoax on all of us. Not the virus, the virus real, the response is insane. The virus is real, I have never disputed that. It is almost one year to the day that I was struck with the most vicious in my life. I should know soon on the results of my participation in a massive study of Canadians for antibodies. I believe that I had the China Virus. But never would I expect that because I had it, or whatever it was, that Tina should have her business closed down or you couldn't attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Wash your hands, wear a mask inside in close quarters, stay away from sick people, take your vitamins.
We will know by Friday whether the lawsuit brought about by evangelical pastor Peter Youngren has been successful. If it is, and all he is asking is a restoration to the thirty percent capacity limit, will Cardinal Collins restore the public Mass or will he still act as a puppet on the string of those who have subsidized the diocese and buy tables to the Cardinal's Dinner?
Father Richard Gennaro Cipolla has a necessary read on Rorate Caeli blog. The dangers to souls and to the future of the Church and the conclusions he draws for America are identical here. I have said and written the same thing, many people have found something better to do on Sunday morning and many others think that they are at Mass when watching on a computer or television screen. These people will not return. Others are angry and will not return. But we are not alone as Roman Catholics in this - even the local Orthodox edifice in my neighbourhood has on its outdoor sign, "Church closed until further notice." Even them.
Yet, through all of this, there is one Catholic Church in Toronto, Peel and York Regions that soldiers on. Daily Mass with no more than ten, massive bookings for Confession and Holy Communion. A little church on a residential street formerly owned by Baptists and under the direction of the Society of St. Pius X.
I hear from priests daily on what I am writing. They urge me to keep going, not to stop. I tell none of them of the other and I assure you, there are many. I ask for their prayers, that is all. I can tell you, they are working. They are hearing confessions, some from cars, they are providing the sacraments and doing what they can under the restrictions imposed by the Cardinal. Not all are cowering in their rectories, but many are. If your priest is not available to you I can't even guarantee that an email to archbishop@archtoronto.org northern.region@archtoronto.org eastern.region@archtoronto.org bishop.boissonneau@rogers.com or even to the spox, Neil MacCarthy neilm@archtoronto.org, will change anything, but I urge you to try.
The other day a priest told me what I already suspected, that the post-China virus Church in Toronto is facing devastation. How sad that the last year of Cardinal Collins' tenure in Toronto will be one of desolation caused by his own decisions. He speaks often of St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher. How eloquent he was at Our Lady in Guelph upon receiving the red hat and returning to his boyhood parish where he served the Mass - "ad Deum qui laetificat juventutem meam." He did it at the Oratory when ordaining deacons a few weeks ago just before he shut it down. So much talk of More and Fisher.
Maybe he should act like them instead of just talking about them.

BREAKING NEWS: CARDINAL THOMAS COLLINS' "VIRTUOUS" DOCTORS CAUGHT ON A HOT MIC ADMITTING “I JUST SAY WHATEVER THEY WRITE DOWN FOR ME!"
Well, well, well; what do we have here.
The Chief and Associate Chief Medical Officers of Health were caught yesterday on a hot-mic; and what did these "virtuous" health care professionals in public health, you know, the ones who couldn't stand the sight of blood and finished of the bottom of their class, like Joe Biden, and that wanted a 9-5 job with lots of pay and benefits where they could tell people what to do, say? You know, those ones. The same ones that care so much about our dying seniors that they happily give them murder/suicide when they get too lonely from lockdowns. The same ones. Yeah, those ones, those same "virtuous" ones according to His Emasculatedness, I mean His Eminence Thomas Cardinal Collins, Metropolitan Archbishop of Toronto and Prince of the Holy Catholic Church. The same ones that intimidated him into dropping the Holy Sacrament on the hand and then badgering him to shut down Holy Mass or no more ticky or boppy to keep the charade going.
Yeah, those ones. Those "virtuous" ones who care so much about you and me and the poor barber down the street. Heck, you don't need to take my word for it. Here it is from their own secret webinar which someone mysteriously made available and sent up to the clouds for all to see.
Virtuous.
Right.
What lying, rotten, evil, disgraceful but "virtuous"scum.
Joe Warmington has the story.
And remember.
There is still;
DONALD J. TRUMP HAILS CHRIST THE REDEEMER - SPEAKS OF BLESSED MARY
The President of the United States, Donald John Trump`s 2020 Christmas address to America. Amazing how it was on all the media last night. Would that our Catholic Trudeau would come up to half of this man.
Note the Nativity Scene.
The prospect of Joseph Biden as President makes me want to hurl. Almost as much as when Bergoglio came out on the loggia.
More Catholic than the Pope's!
US Bishops declare it an act of charity to take a vaccine created with an aborted baby's cells. Will Cardinal Collins say this is charitable too?
The Bishops of the United States of America have said that there is no moral issue in taking the rushed and poorly tested China Virus despite "their remote connection to morally compromised cell lines."
“In view of the gravity of the current pandemic and the lack of availability of alternative vaccines, the reasons to accept the new COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are sufficiently serious to justify their use, despite their remote connection to morally compromised cell lines,” said the bishops. Taking one of those vaccines, said the bishops, “ought to be understood as an act of charity toward the other members of our community.” US Bishops Approve Use of Coronavirus Vaccines with ‘Remote Connection’ to Abortion| National Catholic Register (ncregister.com)
In the leaked webinar video Cardinal Collins refers to the "common good." Will Collins and his Canadian episcopal colleagues join our American friends and urge Canadians to take a vaccine that has either been tested using fetal stem lines or actually developed from the stem lines of an aborted child?
When I die, I don't want this child to come to me with Jesus at my judgement admonishing me for aiding from her murder.
Does the Cardinal?

A question for Cardinal Collins
We reported earlier that evangelical Christian Pastor, Peter Youngren has taken the Government of Ontario to court under the equality rights provision of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The case is being heard now.
Pastor Youngren provides and update.
I have a few questions for Thomas Collins.
"If Pastor Youngren is successful, will you open churches for Mass?"
Will you publicly thank him for having the testicular fortitude to do what you would you and your spineless episcopal hireling have not done, because you lack something which our Italian friends like to call, 'cojones?"
Why will you not join him in this legal fight? Is it because the Archdiocese of Toronto is taking millions of dollars of Canadian government bailout?
