There's a Mass For You On June 11 but if you're not part of the 15%, there is still, No Mass For You!

As reported on this blog last Wednesday, June 2, that the "conservative" Ontario government of Premier Doug Ford would open churches as of June 14 at 15% of capacity, that announcement has now been with the opening bumped up three days to June 11. Sunday Mass will again be available, indoors, next Sunday, June 13, unless the bishops find a way of preventing it.

Once the numbers of those suffering from SARS-CoV-2 drop sufficiently more and the take up of the rate of experimental genetic injections is met, the next level will be 25% no sooner than 21 days later.

Cardinal Collins had a meeting last Thursday with Ford, but no announcement was made. Given the extent of the relaxation of fascist restrictions by Ford, that meeting had nothing to do with it, other than maybe fixing religious services at the same rate as non-essential retail.

Isn't it great to know that attending Mass is as important as buying a pool noodle but less important than buying dope? Good job, Eminence!

As of this writing, the Archdiocese of Toronto has not issued any information.

We have.

Oh, they did it. Archdiocese of Toronto - Archdiocese of Toronto Returns to In-person Masses This Weekend (archtoronto.org)

There is much on which to reflect this Solemnity of Corpus Christi - No Holy Mass, no Procession, no Holy Sacrament. Who did this to us?

It is the Solemnity of Corpus Christi in the modern rite today and the traditional if transferred. In the great and glorious Archdiocese of Toronto, there is, however, as usual, there is

On this day, some in Toronto will attend their parish to receive Holy Communion under a contrived service. One would think if you could have ten persons (under Ford's edict) you could have Mass for ten with the priest and then another ten and so on. Taxing on the priest? Yes, but many do three Masses on Sunday now, at least do that. Or, no Holy Communion at Mass, the Cardinal has already acknowledged that it can be separated from the liturgy. Holy Communion by appointment, individual or family on the tongue, if desired, in private, no China Virus risk. But no, that would anger those whom Collins referred to as "virtuous public health officials."

Tomorrow, Ontario Premier Doug Ford will announce changes to the current fascist restrictions in Ontario. As reported here on this blog through our own confidential sources a day before the Cardinal's meeting with Ford on Thursday past, Mass will be restored to 15% on June 14 and 30% on July 5. Never forget that as bad as this has been on the part of Ford, Cardinal Collins has made it worse, he has abandoned the faithful and sold out the Church to the government. The same governments that the Church sold out to more than a century ago on the matter of Residential Schools. Hypocrites and vipers, all of them.

On this day it is important to remember that Thomas Cardinal Collins and most, but not all, bishops in Ontario have forbidden Holy Communion on the tongue. Many Catholics have not had Holy Communion for over a year because they will not violate their conscience. 

It is important to remember this. In a webinar not too many months ago, this is what Cardinal Collins said he would do to any parish where Holy Communion on the tongue was being distributed:

Cardinal Collins - Why is Neil MacCarthy and his communications group mocking the faithful?

This blog post writes itself!

On the Residential Schools and the current situation in Kamloops

The news coming out of Kamloops that over 200 bodies have been found to be buried on the grounds of a Residential School operated by a Catholic Order, the Oblates, (why is it always the Oblates?) has caused more media outrage and inane virtue signalling. While everyone desires to kick the Catholic Church and its Orders for this, and most deservedly so, the Anglicans, Methodists, and Mennonites had their own share.

The issue is complex. The history is ignored by the ignorant and those paid in the media not to be. It is important to understand that this removal of children from the homes of our native peoples was the policy of the Government of Canada. It was wrong by our current standards and any standards then of Catholic teaching and Christian charity. Children belong with their parents, period. They were forcibly removed and not just taught Christianity, Catholic or Protestant, but deprogrammed of their own history, language and culture. A Royal Commission was struck and reported and under our grown-up  Prime Minister Stephen Harper (miss him yet?) a national apology for this dark part of Canadian history was made. The intent may have been good and sensible at the time - to educate and integrate these children into Canadian society, but it went very wrong.  

They will protect you. Eugene de Laestar

The first schools were established in Canada in the early 1600s by Catholics, nuns and priests from France. It is arguable that the experience in Quebec between the French and our native people there was better than elsewhere later. It was in 1883 that the government became involved with funding and expansion and that is likely when the evils began. It became a business and corrupt men and women, isolated, had the children as their prey. As we have seen elsewhere, anytime you have children away from the home, notwithstanding abuse that may happen at home, and put them in an institution, they can become prey to people seeking their own sexual and dominance gratifications. I suspect many of these children were not only physically brutalized, common everywhere, but many were sexually violated, raped and murdered. 

The outrage of the Kamloops case is premature. There are graves, but why? Was every child raped or murdered? Would some not have died from diphtheria, meningitis, influenza or smallpox or other diseases for which they had no natural immunities? Was this a mass grave with bodies dumped indicating "mass murder" or was this a cemetery where they were buried over the century-long history of the school? We just don't know.

Sadly, the Catholic Church is once again slandered for history. More sadly, the filthy perverts and brutes within the Holy Bride of Christ have brought this on and have gotten away with it for centuries because weak, effeminate, unbelieving and corrupt bishops have covered it up. Is it any wonder we are where we are?

This writer knows much about the effects of brutality and psychological abuse having experienced Basilian brutality and abuse as late as 1970. I'm glad to say I held that rotten Congregation of St. Basil and its cabal of filthy sodomites, modernists, brutes and serial litigants, bullies and plagiarists to account in more ways than one.

May Our Blessed Lord comfort the families of all those who suffer from the memory and experiences and grant peace to the deceased and execute His Divine Justice on the perpetrators of all abuse and in particular, those who did it under His Most Holy Name.

Feast of Corpus Christ (Yes, it is Thursday) and there is

 

But maybe soon at a paltry 15% and then maybe 40% three weeks later but no thanks to this man who has done nothing for a year. 

On this Feast of Corpus Christi, I raise an issue of how this man and his ilk have hurt many Catholics.

They have banned Holy Communion on the tongue. Other than the Toronto Oratory where they have violated liturgical law and provided Holy Communion on the hand at the traditional Latin Mass, (and have and will pay dearly for it) most priests offering the Holy Sacrifice according to the ancient rite, have not. There are many Catholics and let us not be mistaken, many, many faithful who attend the reformed Mass in typical parishes that will not receive Holy Communion in the hand. They believe that it is a sacrilege to do so and against their conscience. I am one of those who cannot and will not out of conscience and I have a variety of reasons for this. 

In the Latin Mass community where I worship and serve as Cantor and we watched our community plummet by 25% last June 2020 on the lifting of restrictions. They left for many reasons, one being that Father would not disobey his bishop but would also not disobey the ultimate law and scandalize the faithful. Holy Communion was only for the priest. Yet, during this time to the next shutdown, not only did the community regain the 25% by new people but added even more.

For well over a year now, 15 months, the Catholic faithful have been starved of the Holy Eucharist by this Cardinal and his ilk. Many of us have not, we know priests, who will in private, provide our needs, many, however, do not. Starved of the Holy Eucharis by Thomas Cardinal Collins - a shameful legacy.

There is so much to unpack liturgically this day. The hymns of the Divine Office, the text of the Mass, all written by St. Thomas Aquinas. You can read the office by clicking above on the tab and read the Mass text here. How sad that the glorious Lauda Sion cannot be sung or heard today.

The Catholics who have sacrificed for the sake of their conscience will receive a crown and consolation from the Lord himself. Those who have starved them, well, I would not wish to be them.

Ford to announce Church re-opening - 15% on June 14 and 30% on July 5

BREAKING - Confidential sources indicate that at tomorrow's meeting with Thomas Cardinal Collins, Ontario Premier Doug Ford will announce that churches will be "allowed" to reopen for services on June 14 at 15% capacity and on July 5 at 30% capacity up from the current ten persons. Earlier today, Ford announced that schools will not reopen until September. 

Cardinal Collins announced that he and other faith leaders would be meeting on Thursday, June 3 with Ford.

While we must always resist the draconian and unconstitutional actions of the Ontario and other provincial governments in Canada, and indeed in other places, we must always bemoan that the greatest enemy was our own weak and cowardly episcopal leaders who chose not to fight but to acquiesce for millions in public money.

Cardinal Collins to meet with Premier Ford

Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of  Toronto has announced at 4:19 today that on Thursday afternoon, he, along with other faith leaders. will be meeting with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Health Minister Christine Elliot and Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. David Williams. The topic is to discuss concerns relating to places of worship.

Cardinal Collins, here is the message for Doug Ford.

While the restrictions of the government are draconian and unacceptable, the treatment can be no different than retail as a bare minimum. 

If he refuses, throw down the gauntlet that we will be opening our churches.

So very little leadership, so very late.

Cardinal Collins - the weekend has come and gone and Ford has done nothing. What will you do?

Well, Your Eminence, it is Monday morning. You wrote last week that you would take action if Doug Ford did nothing by the end of the weekend.

It's in your court.

Premier Doug Ford to make an announcement shortly - will he heed the call of Cardinal Collins?

Update: No indication from the presser that Ontario will open phase 1, even though over 63% of Ontarians have received at least one does of the experimental genetic manipulation. #FordLied

Well, Your Eminence? What will you now do?

Ontario Premier Douglas Ford is to make a public statement beginnings at 10:30. 

We will see if the interventions of Cardinal Collins will have fallen on deaf ears.

Again, if His Eminence finally takes up the fight, this blog will be with him. 

How sad that we have had to wait for so long.

On May 26, Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, issued a letter to all clergy and staff of the Archdiocese wherein he discussed the latest diktat from Ontario Premier Doug Ford's so-called, "Roadmap to Reopen." Ontario is and has been for months, under the most severe restrictions to our freedoms and economy in all of North America. Ford, an alleged Conservative, has shown himself to be an autocratic dictator with no respect for individual or religious rights.

Currently, the restrictions on indoor religious services remain at ten persons. Collins and most, but not all, bishops in Ontario have seen fit to reduce that to zero and some have gone so far to even ban baptisms! The current restrictions in Ontario will move to a different phase twenty-one days after specific levels of experimental viral spike protein injections are completed. What was the first three-week to flatten the curve and reduce the strain on our hospitals in April 2020 has become fourteen months of draconian actions by Ford, tolerated by our religious leaders. As I wrote previously,  a worst-case scenario is Sunday Mass on August 1 due to the still draconian action to prevent indoor worship until the second phase of the Ford plan. Ford insists on opening retail to 15% but not a church, this is a clear case of a violation of constitutional law and must be challenged in the public square and the courts.

Collins reports that he has had a meeting with the "Premier's office." As someone who was a Special Assistant in the former actual Conservative government of Premier Mike Harris, this means he met with the likes of this writer, back then, not the Premier himself. How tragic that the Premier of Ontario does not hold this Prince of the Catholic Church, the Cardinal Archbishop of Toronto in enough respect to sit down with him directly. His Eminence reports that he made clear his "dissatisfaction" regarding the limit of ten persons. No doubt, if the Premier's minions were reasonably well-read, they would have immediately responded, the Eminence, "doth protest too much, methinks."  

It appears that the Cardinal threatened the Premier with a similar online letter-writing campaign as was done in March official in the chancery office. That action resulted in over 15,000 emails to Members of Provincial Parliament and copies to the Premier no doubt resulting in an easing from ten persons to fifteen percent. We congratulated the Cardinal for this initiative while at the same time bemoaning that it took him so long.

Collins indicates that if no action on the part of Ford is announced by the end of this week, the previous campaign will be renewed with the assistance, according to the Cardinal, of other faith communities throughout Ontario.

While the emergency orders have permitted outdoor worship and we can see how one parish in St. Catharines has successfully implemented this, Collins has, thus far, forbidden it. The Cardinal has indicated that if there is no action by the Premier by June 1, he will issue guidance and recommendation on outdoor liturgies.

Cardinal Collins deserves rebuke and criticism for his cowardice and lack of action of this and other failures over the last year. For a moment, let us set this aside.

You, dear reader, must write to the Cardinal and the Premier demanding that our churches immediately reopen. 

This writer will do everything possible on this blog and social media to promote Cardinal's initiative to take on Ford on this issue and urge an immediate court challenge, a year later, to be sure.

I only regret that it has been so little on the part of our spineless episcopal leaders and so late.

Trust the Vatican's ethicists?

I won't trust Bergoglio and his filthy crew with liturgical or catechetical doctrine, why would I trust these Bergoglio rats with my health?

Thomas Collins has also advised us to take the experimental genetic manipulation. I can't wait for the lawsuits that will come from his quack advice.

For the second Trinity Sunday in a row, thanks to Thomas Collins, there is

 

For well over a year now, our liturgical cycle of true worship to God has been turned on its head. The cowardice of our episcopal shepherds is without compare except in Tudor England but they had one who stood up to the corrupt and evil king. This man opines frequently on the likes of St. John Fisher but follows him not.

Doug Ford has lied to us. He said that if there were 60% of Ontarians who had at least one dose of the experimental genetic manipulation injection, we would enter Phase 1. Collins has said that he has met with Ford's minions and if there was no announcement by now on the opening of churches he would order a campaign of protest by the faithful.

Well, where is it, Your Eminence? Tomorrow then?
