Sandro Magister's press credential removed by Vatican - blamed for breaking an "embargo" that did not exist!

In a retaliatory move better suited to some dollar-store novel, the Holy See Press Office under Father Federico Lombardi has stripped Magister of his press credentials. Father Lombardi called the "leak" of the Laudato si, a "heinous act."  Frankly, I would be more impressed if he called abortion or the slaughter of Christians by Islamists or the vote for sodomite marriage in Ireland a "heinous act" but to each his own, I suppose. I find the Church's action against Magister as "heinous" and disgraceful. 
Embedded image permalink
Commonweal is reporting that in fact, there was no embargo on Magister who "got his copy from an unofficial source (obviously curial) who imposed no restrictions on its use."

Sandro Magister was under no obligation to protect the information since it was not a final copy and no embargo was imposed on him. In fact, the embargo only begins two hours before its release when it will be given to reporters. This stripping of his credentials is without justice because the embargo does not yet exist. 

This is what the Church and its "leadership" deserves when they stop teaching salvation and calling all to Jesus Christ and instead takes up with Malthusians and embraces the world.

There was once a tropical Greenland and fossils of palm leaves in northern British Columbia and Alaska. It was once very warm there and fossil fuels had nothing to do with it.

But don't tell Francis that. 

St. Francis of Assisi, intercede for us, because they always forget the last verse:

Praised be You, my Lord through Sister Death,
from whom no-one living can escape. 
Woe to those who die in mortal sin! 
Blessed are they She finds doing Your Will.

No second death can do them harm. 
Praise and bless my Lord and give Him thanks,

And serve Him with great humility.

Has Pope Francis chosen a "Malthusian" to present Laudato Si?

The Pope is about to issue his first encyclical to be named, in medieval Italian instead of Latin, "Laudato si" (Praised be)  in honour of St. Francis of Assisi and a reference to his Canticle of the Sun. The sub title will be "on the care of our common home." The encyclical will be released on June 18 and the Holy See Press office has announced the main presenter will be Cardinal Peter Turkson, the President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. He will be joined by the Orthodox (schismatic) Archbishop, John Zizioulas of Pergamon representing the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and Dr. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, the Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Chairman of the German Advisory Council on Global Change.

Dr. Shellnhuber? The German Malthusian? The "two-degree climate" and the "zero-carbon world" proponent?
Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, the director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, said that if the buildup of greenhouse gases and its consequences pushed global temperatures 9 degrees Fahrenheit higher than today — well below the upper temperature range that scientists project could occur from global warming — Earth’s population would be devastated.
“In a very cynical way, it’s a triumph for science because at last we have stabilized something –- namely the estimates for the carrying capacity of the planet, namely below 1 billion people,” said Dr. Schellnhuber.
Why the heck didn't you invite David Suzuki along with him who calls Christianity a "myth?" 

We cannot comment authoritatively on this Encyclical until it is released and reviewed.  Given that the Church of Christ on Earth and its Vicar have consulted with a man who discloses himself to be a Malthusian, it does not bode well. The problem is not overpopulation or global-warming or climate-change, the problem is a lack of Christ in the lives of the people of the Earth.

The Church is in a dark hour when It partners with globalists and those who have no faith in what She teaches. She has betrayed her mission. "Go and preach the Good News" Our Blessed Lord said. He did not say,  become an NGO of the UN!

The comment about "rabbits" is becoming more clear.

There will be literal Hell to pay for this!

Just as there has been Hell to pay for the Pope's invitation to a Mohammedan to pray to his god in the Vatican itself one year ago.

O Britannia, Quo vadis?

Whilst thou who commest by herein has then the glorious opportunity to lend thine ears to these glorious sounds of English choristers chanting the psalms, let thouest contemplate this:

2067: the end of British Christianity

Projections aren't predictions. But there's no denying that churches are in deep trouble

The-last-Christian-(1)_SE

It’s often said that Britain’s church congregations are shrinking, but that doesn’t come close to expressing the scale of the disaster now facing Christianity in this country. Every ten years the census spells out the situation in detail: between 2001 and 2011 the number of Christians born in Britain fell by 5.3 million — about 10,000 a week. If that rate of decline continues, the mission of St Augustine to the English, together with that of the Irish saints to the Scots, will come to an end in 2067.

The Coming Schism - the Devil has Germany by the Throat, again!

How many posts on this blog and others have been written about the heretical, and schismatic stench coming from what seems to be the majority of Bishops of Germany. 

Maria Meaney has addressed the "German Effect" a number of times at the aptly named Crisis Magazine and writes today that:
"Friedrich Nietzsche prophesied the death of God with empty churches as a consequence. But it didn’t take outsiders to kill God. His people and especially his apostles are perfectly capable. For by hitting marriage in its center, we kill love itself. It is absolutely central to our lives, to our salvation, to our society and for the well-being of our children. A Christianity that pretends it can do without marriage while claiming to be acting out of compassion, has taken on the trappings of Christianity while leaving us with an empty shell. This is one of the faces of the anti-Christ rearing its ugly head as it has throughout history. Our society has already fallen for it hook, line and sinker. We abort our children in the name of compassion, and kill the elderly out of mercy. We produce children for the infertile while killing the imperfect in the process. We call for mercy for the divorced and remarried, yet throw the children of the original marriage together with the abandoned spouse under the bus. This is the nasty underbelly of a false kind of compassion and mercy. By their fruits you shall know them. The signs, I think, are clear for those who are willing to see."
We must wake up the realisation of what is on our doorstep in a few short months. When we examine how the German bishops have betrayed the faith and we consider the latest from rogue priests who prefer sodomy to Christ we can know that the path is clear for us to discern our duty. 

Let us take the Light of Christ out the cave of our minds and hearts and proclaim it to the world.

New Archbishop of Berlin - member of "shadow synod" and fan of Kasper's proposals

From Augustinius at Rorate Caeli

The Holy See today announced the appointment of Heiner Koch, 61 years old, Bishop of Dresden-Meiβen, as the new Archbishop of Berlin. His appointment comes after his election by the Berlin Cathedral Chapter, which is required under the complex system of concordats that governs Church-State relations in Germany. Nevertheless the final ratification of such elections still lies with the Pope. Berlin is a small diocese by German standards, but due to its immense social and political importance for all of Europe, six of its seven Ordinaries from 1935 to 2014 have been raised to the Cardinalate while in office. 

The Archbishop-elect heads the German hierarchy's Commission for Marriage and Family and is one of the three German delegates to the 2015 Synod along with Reinhard Cardinal Marx of Munich and Franz-Josef Bode, Bishop of Osnabruck. Despite some conservative-sounding statements made by the Archbishop-elect during the Benedict years (such as a 2012 statement on the futility of discussing matters already closed by the Magisterium) he is now without question aligned with the "progressivist" camp. All three German delegates to the 2015 Synod have publicly come out in favor of the Kasper "hypothesis" and all three attended the now-infamous "Shadow Synod" held on May 25 at the Gregorianum in Rome. 

Remember this list?

May their names live in infamy forever and ever for their intent to assemble secretly to discard the clear words of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the name of Him Who Himself is Love, and to favor a certain kind of press to make their new doctrine known to the world:

BISHOPS:
Cardinal Reinhard Marx, president of the German Bishops’ Conference, Archbishop of Munich and Freising
Archbishop Georges Pontier, president of the French Bishops’ Conference, Archbishop of Marseille
Bishop Markus Büchel, president of the Swiss Bishops’ Conference, Bishop of St. Gallen
Bishop Franz-Josef Bode of Osnabrück, Germany
Bishop Heiner Koch of Dresden-Meißen/Meissen, Germany
Bishop Felix Gmür of Basel, Switzerland
Bishop Jean-Marie Lovey of Sitten/Sion, Switzerland
Bishop Bruno Ann-Marie Feillet of Reims, France
Bishop Jean-Luc Brunin of Le Havre, France

On one hand, the Pope says many things about "gender ideology" and not to have computers in children's rooms. What good does if on the other hand, he makes appointments that may undermine the teaching of the Church?

Treacherous Churchmen

A few days after the Irish peoples' referendum to allow so-called marriage between sodomites and lesbians, Raymond Cardinal Burke remarked that even the pagans of old who tolerated sodomy did not stoop to calling it "marriage." The Cardinal is correct and those such as a former Catholic Canadian journalist that say "Jesus never spoke of homosexuality" are wrong. Jesus spoke to the Jewish people and they knew what sodomy was and they did not practice it and those that did, were put to death. He did not need to preach about it. St. Paul who preached to the pagans said much because they practiced it. As to the journalist, since Jesus is God the Son incarnate and he was begotten and not made, then He was there when the Holy Spirit inspired the prophets and he was the Word in the Burning Bush that appeared to Moses, so we know where He stood.

The Cardinal is correct because the whole pagan world, Greeks, Romans, Celts and Druids all practiced sodomy and with young boys especially. This is historical fact. The snakes chased out of Ireland were not literal snakes, it is metaphorical. St. Patrick found sodomy rife amongst the Druid and Celtic pagans. 

Barona at Toronto Catholic Witness has commented on the rightness of Cardinal Burke's statement juxtaposed with the actual phrase "ideology of evil" used to describe sodomite and lesbian "marriage" by Saint John Paul II. He further highlights the "outburst of treachery" by Archbishop Eamon Martin.

The referendum merely reflected the debasement of the Irish mind. Ireland is now mission territory. For their cowardice, their treachery, their refusal to preach in season and out of season - the Irish hierarchy should resign. In his last book,"Identity and Remembrance", the late, now sainted Pope denounced same-sex "marriage" as an "ideology of evil". Not one word of this from the bishops. 

Indeed, we had the most recent outburst of treachery from Archbishop Eamon Martin that the far more gentle words of Cardinal Burke were unacceptable. When will this Irish episcopal mercenary resign or be removed from Office? He is staining with his treacherous presence the office of his holy predecessors. These cowards have not even apologized before God for their failure. 

I highly recommend you to these three posts by Barona.

Ireland has been betrayed by its bishop and priests. One can only conclude that they have lost the faith, if they ever indeed had it or that enough of them are simply caught up themselves in the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah which was not, as some would like to conclude, a lack of hospitality.

Our Lady of Akita spoke of "Bishop against Bishop and Cardinal against Cardinal." With the wretched scene last October at the Synod we saw this played out under the eyes and nose of the Bishop of Rome himself. We saw the skullduggery of an assault on the Holy Eucharist and marriage played out before our eyes. We are in for more but we can be confident that our work is weakening them as evidenced by Raymond Arroyo's masterful interview with Cardinal Kasper.

Gird your loins brothers and sisters. The battle is coming to us.

Ottawa Priest Samson now calls Cardinal Burke's statements "Violent"

In the continuing scandal brewing in the Archdiocese of Ottawa, Big Blue Wave is reporting that Father Andre Samson who has been defaming Raymond Cardinal Burke on CBC Radio Canada and Twitter has now said that the Cardinal's statements on homosexuality have been "violent."


University of Ottawa faculty photo
"What he says against homosexuality, I find that violent." A violence that not only targets gays in the general population, but also is also directed against priests and bishops. Samson reckons that many of his fellow priests and bishops are gay. "He is just as violent towards gay priests and gay bishops, and I find that sad."

The above was stated in an interview with Radio Ville-Marie and has been translated fully by Big Blue Wave

Samson has said Tweeted in the last few days calling Cardinal Burke a "clown" and a "drag queen."

The Church in Ottawa has been lead in the past by Ordinaries who have permitted much dissent by priests and laity alike specifically, Plourde and Gervais. The current Archbishop, Terrence Prendergast, S.J., has been making an effort to turn the situation. Clearly, he needs to do much more. 

He can be reached at arch@archottawa.ca (corrected). The Apostolic Nuncio to Canada is Archbishop Luigi Bonazzi; he can be reached at nuntiatura@nuntiatura.ca.

There is only truth and beauty in what the Cardinal has to say.


Meanwhile, the Vatican is now aware of this matter, for whatever good that will do.

1,000,000 Thank-yous + 1 and the Law of Unintended Consequences


This obscure blog has just past 1,000,000 page views. It happened in the last few minutes.

Never, would I have thought that it would achieve this milestone and truthfully, it is still minute compared to some of my favourites out there who do much good work. I started this blog during the time I was directing a choir in my local parish. My late brother had a blog to document his illness and I got the idea from him. It was a way of keeping the choir up-to-date with the music program.

Eventually, I could not resist posting an opinion or two.

Just after last Christmas, I thought it quite remarkable that Vox Cantoris broke through the 600,000 mark. For that, it took ten years; obscure indeed was this blog. Now, only five months later another 400,000 plus have been added in what is for this blog, a remarkably short time. The largest single read post remains "Behold the Tabernacle of the Seattle Seahawks" and I'm sure that will be the case for quite a while at almost 20,000 direct hits. 


Thank you, dear reader, for coming here. I've not always been polite and I've often been quite crass. I am sorry if I've offended you and I shall try to do better. However, I admit to being angry. I am angry that the Lord I love and His Church have been so betrayed by those who were called and who are privileged to be His servants and our shepherds. I am disgusted by the liturgical and catechetical deformation, the rape and sodomising of boys and girls by those trusted, the infiltration of evil men into her ranks and the capitulation to the deformed culture of the world. 

I must thank PewSitter for picking up some of my posts, particularly as a result of a certain person and by whose actions, I must really thank.

How could I not give him a special mention to thank the one person responsible for the escalation in readership over the last four months. He is a man of great renown. An American who has adopted my country as his home. He is a priest who has interviewed some of the finest heretics of the most recent years to great shame including Gregory Baum and Timothy Radcliffe. He has been a promoter of the "Francis Effect" to great acclaim. He is incredibly well-educated with numerous international degrees and has many appointments and official positions in academia. He is a columnist in various Catholic newspapers and like Timothy Radcliffe, he is a Consultor to the Holy See. He was the organisational genius behind World Youth Day 2002 in Toronto and he heads the incredibly successful Salt + Light Television, Canada's Catholic Channel of Hope. Thank you; Father Thomas J. Rosica, CSB for the unintended attempt to sue me into bankruptcy and thereby bouncing this blog into a level where I have been able to meet so many other bloggers around the world and be known to so many more readers.

As for the wonderful Congregation of St. Basil, who did so much good to me as a boy of 13, thank you as well for the unintended consequences of catapulting this blog to over 1,000,000 readers. Without those Basilian Fathers of a previous generation filling me with the intestinal and testicular fortitude to stand up and confront the bullies, wherever they are and whatever they wear, this blog would not have been sustained. If not for those abusive days, I would not be filled the righteous anger to stand up for the Truth of Christ and His Church against those who would seek to tear Her down and make victims of other little boys! 

They will never bully, abuse, rape, victimise or sodomise again!

They are now leaving Our Lady of the Rosary Parish in Toronto which will be staffed by diocesan priests. The are marked for extinction.



Ottawa Catholic Priest calls Cardinal Burke a "clown" and a "drag queen!"

In a fiasco reminiscent of Basilian Father Tim Scott tweeting that Cardinal Burke should just  "STFU" (SHUT THE F**K UP) an Ottawa Catholic priest and professor at University of Ottawa has called Raymond Cardinal Burke a "clown" and a "drag queen."

HUFF POST QUEBEC - PHILIPPE VAILLANCOURT:
It is crucial to comprehend the phenomenon of Burke as a dynamic work within the Church.
FATHER ANDRE SAMSON: 
What are, in the Church, the organisational factors that have clowns like Burke fussing?

HUFF POST QUEBEC: 
Cardinal Burke embodies the deep differences among Catholics.

FATHER ANDRE SAMSON:
 It embodies a particularly extreme form of anachronism.

HUFF POST QUEBEC: 
Cardinal Burke embodies the deep differences amongst Catholics.

FATHER ANDRE SAMSON: 
Pope Francis has done well by dismissing this musical comedy Cardinal Drag Queen.
Yesterday, we reported on Father Andre Samson's email read aloud on CBC Radio Canada. 

Whose authority is this priest under? Is it Archbishop Terence Prendergast, S.J. of Ottawa.

The Twitter universe has given us much over the last year in way of exposition of the comments of certain clerics.

This public dialogue by Father Andre Samson is scandalous, insulting and degrading. Cardinal Burke is man of great humility and grace, he will bear this. What does this say about Father Samson and those above him who have allowed this travesty.

Cardinal Burke for what it is worth, for this outrage and that of the Member of Parliament below this post, please accept the apologies of faithful Catholics from coast to coast for whom I can surely speak; we are very sorry for these offenses against you. Please come back soon to Canada. We love you and we need you and may God bless you and St. Michael protect you. Vox.

Canadian "Parliamentarian" Pierre Dionne Labelle slanders Cardinal Burke in Parliament!

As noted previously, His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke has been in a tour of Ottawa. Last evening, June 5, His Eminence celebrated the Holy Mass at Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica which was followed by a dinner for NET Ministries of Canada.

On Wednesday, June 3, His Eminence was a guest of the Speaker of the House and observed from the Speaker's Gallery the daily Parliamentary Question Period. When introduced by the Speaker of the House, Cardinal Burke received a standing ovation.

Photo - Pierre Dionne LabellePierre Dionne Labelle, is the Member of Parliament from the riding of Rivière-du-Nord and sits with the New Democrat Party, founded at one time by devout protestant Christian ministers, labourers and farmers which evolved into a formal party of socialists in Canada's Parliament. One cannot be a member of the NDP nor run as a candidate if one opposes the murder of a baby in the womb of its mother. Labelle is a traitor to his Catholic baptism, his heritage and his Québécois history and culture. Québéc is nothing if it is not Catholic and the hatred of the Faith by these modern Québécois since the "Quiet Revolution" (bloodless compared to France but the same in its affects) is in fact, the undermining of this once great French-Canadian culture which they so earnestly seek to promote and protect.

Following Question Period, this Member of Parliament stood up in the House of Commons and stated the following, as recorded in Hansard:

House of Commons Debates


    Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I feel like my privileges as a parliamentarian have been breached.
    During question period, we were introduced to Cardinal Raymond Burke, who is known for spreading homophobia and for his anti-gay campaigns. I deeply regret that the House was not informed of the situation and that we applauded such a person.

  (1715)  

    I am not sure whether that is a point of order. The chair will give it consideration and, if necessary, return before the House with a response.
Do the people the Catholics of Rivière-du-Nord and Canada care about what this Member had to say?

Perhaps, it is a good time to repost this!

The example of true humility and mercy by a kind and humble prelate


The sad and vile commentary in some secular media and a Catholic newspaper in the United States today using "Catholic" in their title against the order of two bishops stands in direct contrast to the real Cardinal Burke who is, in fact, a gentle and prayerful and humble pastor. The St. Louis Dispatch picked up on the article. I do not suggest reading it as the commentators are from the pit of Hell and it is not much better at the so-called "Catholic" paper. 

The criticisms are based on the an interview published in LifeSiteNews a few days ago. The Cardinal is correct. Someone who commits murder cannot be absolved of it by giving to a food bank or being nice. It is mortal sin. Sodomy and adultery are also mortal sin. Neither can they be absolved by being nice to puppies.

Let us pray for Cardinal Burke. He is a giant of a man and yet as gentle as a dove. He is the true example of masculinity in the priesthood and humility amongst prelates. Others in Rome should learn from him. Thank you Cardinal Burke for your steadfastness in the faith.

When the news of the rumours of the removal of Raymond Cardinal Burke from the Apostolic Signature broke a few months ago, I wrote the recollection of a story in The Lion of Rome. Published in Celebrate Life Magazine, it was originally titled "Coming Out of Sodom" and was written in 2011 based on the author's actual conversion in 1998 in La Crosse. 

Here is the story now since removed from the magazine; I have not published the man's name.

***

For 12 years, my life was centered on same-sex relations. I lived it: the nightlife, the drugs and the impurities. Now, because of my good bishop, I am Catholic and happy. As best as I can determine, my same-sex attraction began in reaction to my father, who was a violent alcoholic. He often drank, came home to throw things around the house and abuse my mother in addition to threatening me and my brother. I thought he hated us. Consequently, I didn't want to be anything like him.
In my sorrow, I started looking for the love of my father in the arms of other men. At age 17, a predator took advantage of me under the teacher/pupil dynamic and I became completely mixed up about human sexuality. Over the years, one thing led to another until I moved in with a man more than 20 years my senior.
Before we go any further, it is important to realize a major cause of same-sex attraction disorder. As a former insider of the community, I can tell you that the so-called gay rights/abortion rights coalition is a proximate result of the contraceptive mentality which was predicted 40 years ago by Pope Paul VI in Humanae Vitae. People abusing one another as sexual objects brought about a mainstream culture of death that tolerates and advocates all kinds of adultery and child abuse, including abortion. This selfish mentality also led to human embryonic stem cell research and euthanasia.
Return to my Father
From 1990 to 1994, I went to Mass off and on. In 1995, I told my "partner" that I couldn't go anymore because I was very angry with the Church. I boxed up all my crucifixes and Bibles and dropped them off at the office of the bishop of La Crosse, Wisconsin with a letter renouncing the Catholic faith.
To my surprise, Bishop Raymond Burke replied with a kind letter expressing his sadness. He wrote that he would respect my decision and notify the parish where I had been baptized. Ever so gently, Bishop Burke said that he would pray for me and look forward to the time when I would reconcile with the Church.
As one of Wisconsin's most outspoken "gay" activists, I thought, "What arrogance!" Then I replied to Bishop Burke with a letter accusing him of harassment. I told him that his letters were unwelcome and I asked how he could dare to write to me.
My efforts failed to put him off. Bishop Burke sent one more letter assuring me that he wouldn't write again — but if I should want to reconcile with the Church, he would welcome me back with open arms.
Indeed, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit never gave up on me. Within a few years, I spoke to a good priest, who intensely added to Bishop Burke's prayers every day in August 1998.
On August 14, the feast of Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe and the vigil of our Blessed Mother's Assumption, divine mercy penetrated my soul at a Chinese restaurant — of all places. Little did I know as I entered that restaurant with my "companion" of over eight years that the Lord would seize me that very afternoon and bring me to another place outside of Sodom, to the very judgment seat of His healing mercy, the holy Sacrament of Penance.
The priest I had consulted was there. As I gazed across the room at him, an inner voice spoke to my heart. It was gentle, radiant and clear inside my soul. The voice told me, "This priest is an image of what you can still become, if you will only return to Me."
On the way home, I solemnly told my companion, "I need to return to the Catholic Church." Although he was tearful, he lovingly responded, "Eric, I've known that for a long time. Do what you need to do in order to be happy. I knew all along that this day would come."
Next, I called Bishop Burke's office. His secretary knew me well by then, so I told her that I wanted Bishop Burke to be the first to know that I was returning to the Church — that I was preparing for the Sacrament of Penance. She asked me to hold. When she returned, she announced that Bishop Burke wanted to schedule a meeting.
Afterwards, I confessed my sins to a local, humble, devout Catholic pastor of souls and received absolution.
As an essential part of my recovery, a good Catholic family gave me shelter until I could find my own home.
A month after my reconciliation to God and the Church, I went to Bishop Burke's office, where he embraced me. He asked if I remembered the belongings I had turned over to him with my letter of renunciation. Of course I remembered and Bishop Burke had saved them in the diocesan archives because he believed that I would return.
For two years, I wondered if the mystical message meant that I was supposed to become a priest. Finally, I realized that I was not called to the priesthood. After all, the Vatican rules that men who have a well-established inclination to homosexuality may not be admitted to Holy Orders or monastic communities. Rather, the priest I saw at the restaurant was an image of what I could become — faithful and holy through the sacraments. Like all persons — single, married and religious — I am called to chastity. It is enough for me to try and get to heaven. Therefore, I strive to faithfully live the single vocation.
Ever since my mystical experience, I rejoice because of Raymond Burke, now the prelate of Saint Louis, Missouri. While some malign Archbishop Burke for his fidelity to God, Church and all souls, I say that he is a true shepherd of the faithful and a present-day Athanasius. I tell you that he remains a mentor and an inspiration to me. Although my own biological father rejected me, Archbishop Burke became my spiritual father by lovingly representing our Father in heaven. Like the Divine Persons of the Holy Trinity, Archbishop Burke was and is absolutely faithful to me.
The key to happiness
Despite the blessing of Archbishop Burke and priests like him, I want to stress that there are others who lead souls away from eternal life and happiness.
For example, when I recently went to confession, a priest told me something that is both a contradistinction from and a contradiction of the truth that Archbishop Burke taught me.
The apostate priest told me:
You're gay and the Church calls us to accept our sexuality. I am an ethicist — a scholar. And the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is very close to this position — and this is the position — am I going too fast for you? If you are attracted to members of the same sex, that is natural for you. And for you to deny that and resist that is to go against natural law. I believe, as an ethicist, that you can have a male roommate and be intimate — of course without genital expression. But if you do slip in that regard, it would not be a mortal sin.
This is the type of advice that convinced me to leave the Church. I heard it all too often from Protestants and various Catholic priests during the 1980s. I heard every heresy about sexuality and our Lord. Today, since I am separated from the "gay community," I only hear such heresies from older priests in their fifties and sixties, but not priests in their forties or younger. Bad bishops and bad priests have led so many people astray about same-sex attraction alone. Yet there is no new gospel or scholarship and this spiritual malpractice must end.
As someone who suffered in the state of mortal sin for many years, I assure you that there is no happiness outside of the moral order. The only authentic response to the challenge of same-sex attraction and sin is the truth in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
In addition to God's teachings and grace, there is visible help on earth. For those who suffer from same-sex attraction, Father John Harvey established the Courage Apostolate and Encourage, which ministers to their families and friends. It is endorsed by the Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Family. Through Courage, strugglers find the support and healthy friendships necessary to holiness and happiness, a way fully consonant with the culture of life.

Openly Homosexual Catholic Priest in Ottawa harshly and rudely slanders Cardinal Burke!

Raymond Cardinal Burke was given a standing ovation yesterday in Canada's House of Commons following the daily Question Period at Ottawa. Cardinal Burke is in Ottawa for an address this evening.  

On the eve of his attendance, Ottawa Catholic priest and professor at the University of Ottawa has roundly and severely come out against the very presence of the Cardinal in Canada's capital city.

082314-Priest_Fired_Sex_20131030-POS2013103016525443-28972789-Priest_Fired_Sex_20131030-W.jpg
Andre Samson,
As reported at the Catholic Intelligence Agency blog, Andre Samson, the former Pastor of St. Margaret Mary Parish, said in an Email read out on CBC Radio Canada that “As a gay [man] and as a priest of the Archdiocese of Ottawa, I am upset at the visit of this person. I particularly blame those who invited him, the CCO Movement, Catholic Christian Outreach —who seek to provoke and to distance themselves from the current pope. The resistance towards Pope Francis has regrouped itself around this operetta Cardinal who likes to disguise himself as a drag queen. I know well today’s youth because I’ve taught at the University of Ottawa for the last sixteen years. I can affirm that Burke will have more success at Mado [CIA Note: a drag queen bar] than with the university students that CCO looks to convert.”

In August 2014 in the Ottawa Citizen, Samson said “I would like to see the Catholic church recognize that many of its priests are gay and many of its bishops are gay — and that’s OK." Samson who went on to describe his "life lived in secrecy."

Nowhere on his Twitter page does Fr. Samson refer to himself as a Catholic priest.

According to CIA Blog, Samson was also a speaker at the Annual Ontario Gay Men's Sexual Health Summit where BDSM was discussed in 2010 in Toronto. As Catholics one can ask if this priest spoke about chastity as being part of a single man's overall sexual health.


Ironically, a man who seems to care so much for victims of abuse feels quite justified in heaping abuse on Cardinal Burke who only speaks of the truth of Christ with love and mercy

The Archbishop of Ottawa is Terence Prendergast, S.J. He has done much and continues to do much to turn around on the right path, the Church in Ottawa. His two predecessors did much damage over nearly fifty years. I saw some of this when I lived in Ottawa and witnessed the treatment of the fledgling Ottawa Oratory at St. Brigid's at the hands of Joseph Aurele Plourde and the cabal at St. Joseph's Church. Pray for Archbishop Prendergast's perseverance. He is a friend of the people that would read this blog and has been a strong supporter of the Fraternity of St. Peter.  If you wish to write him, respectfully, and as a commenter noted, "with the greatest charity and kindness," his email is arch@archottawa.ca (corrected).

We will continue to follow this scandal.

The countdown has begun!

"WE SAY NO" to the radical sex-ed curriculum

The author of Ontario's new radical sex-education and gender theory curriculum on the left in the picture below has now been sentenced to prison (for too short a time) for his perversions which included the making of child-pornography and counselling single mothers to sexually assault their children. The woman on right is Ontario's lesbian Premier who cannot deny the perverts role in her program. The idiot in the middle is a Catholic and the son of Pierre Trudeau. He longs to be Prime Minister.  


Everyday For Life Canada has written:
It's interesting to note that 4,000 parents signing the petition come form Premier Wynne's own riding of Don Valley West. And during the sex curriculum protest week when many parents kept their children home, Thorncliffe Park Public School had over 90% of its 1,350 students absent. Given the number of people that have signed the petition against the curriculum, we should ask a few important questions. Why have most of the media taken the side of the government? Why are Liberal MPPs silent on the issue? Why are opposition party members reluctant to speak up? The government claimed to have consulted just 4,000 hand-picked parents in order to give the green light to the controversial curriculum, but the CFA has presented a petition against it with 185,000 signatures. We know the Premier can shut down her MPPs and even most of the opposition because of her majority in the legislature. However, the number of people who have signed the petition tells a very different story. The Liberal government on this issue has lost the confidence and trust of Ontarians. Sooner or later every MPP from every party, majority or no majority, will have to answer to parents who have signed the petition from ridings across the province. Democracy has to mean doing the will of the people and not the will of the premier, that of the minister of education, the party or the politics of correctness.
This Sunday, June 7, from 2:00 P.M. please visit Queens Park and make this Premier and the rest of these politicians who have been bought and paid for to work against your family know who really holds the cards!

Msgr. Vincent Foy: Champion for Life on EWTN!

Tomorrow, June 3, 2015, is the 76th anniversary of Toronto priest Msgr. Vincent Foy's ordination to the priesthood. On June 7, 2014 a Mass in the Presence of a Greater Prelate was celebrated with Thomas Cardinal Collins presiding. It was the Vigil of Pentecost and the Mass was celebrated in honour of Monsignor Foy's 75th anniversary. It will be aired at 6:30 P.M. EDT (GMT-4) and can be watched online at www.ewtn.com

Dunn Media Inc., filmed part of the Mass and that same week, conducted interviews towards this documentary which is to be aired tomorrow and again on August 14, 2015, his 100th birthday.

Msgr. Foy posted recently at his own blog with a post called Saving the Church. He captured it all and it is necessary reading, particularly for priests!

Thank you Monsignor for all you have done for the Church and Toronto. On a personal note, thank you for entrusting me with the music and organisation for your 75th anniversary Mass.


Bruce Jenner, seek the Lord!

Bruce Jenner, you are a sick man.  You have a disorder and need psychiatric and spiritual therapy.

I will not call you a woman, nor will I call you by the name you selected.

Sicker than you are those in the media and society that confirm you in your mental and spiritual illness.

You have a choice.

It is not too late.

The Suing Priests and Bloggers as the Church's, "destroyers"

This past Lent I went through a situation where I was threatened with a lawsuit by a Catholic priest. Eventually, no doubt due to international pressure from other bloggers, the chancery in Toronto, his religious congregation, his television network's benefactors, the partners of the law-firms embarrassment and Raymond Cardinal Burke, he dropped his frivolous and vexatious threat. His letter explaining his reasons for backing-off was in itself, defamatory and libelous. It was also inaccurate - he could state that he "never intended to sue" but everyone read the lawyer's letter.

As reported below, another priest has threatened a blogger with a lawsuit. He got into a Twitter feud and when he did not like being stood up to, he consulted a lawyer and threatened to sue. Tweeting that the Holy Spirit is feminine is on the same level as stating that the Holy Family is "irregular." He has now dropped the lawsuit with a letter on his Twitter feed not dissimilar to the one which I received.

Any priest that would file a lawsuit against a lay Catholic or anyone for that matter needs to be disciplined by his superior. It is against scripture and canon law. It is against charity and the very nature of the priesthood as being another Christ, a victim-priest. It is scandalous and repugnant. It is worldly. If the priest was wronged, so what? Was Christ not wronged? Are we not to "turn the other cheek?" Is a priest not called to be a victim?

"In the comment box on that post below, Dan wrote "I predict that bloggers will destroy the Church. This priest is young. A little charity would go a long way."

I would like to first deal with the sentence, "The priest is young."

This is irrelevant. He is a priest. He must be at least thirty years of age and one would assume he holds a Master of Divinity and has been called to be like unto Christ. Yet, we see a man who is petulant and frankly, a bully to this woman. He engages in social media debate with heretical comments written by someone else and then can't take it when someone calls him out. He posts pictures on his social media with a priest friend holding up a flute-glass filled with a beverage in a toast. The same priest was quite proud to put out on social media that he enjoyed watching Sons of Anarchy

Yes, the priest is "young." However, seventy years ago, men of his age and younger were saving his country from Fascism. What has happened to this generation? What does it say about his formation? Why are these men in to so much drama?

As to the matter "that bloggers will destroy the Church;" it is completely laughable. First, the Church will not be "destroyed" we know Our Blessed Lord's promise. She has been shaken, and will be shaken more in the next six months. The faith is under pressure and the Church is in crisis. The nonsensical statement deserves challenging. In fact, it is deceitful priests, bishops, cardinals and theologians who have been leading the crisis, it is bloggers that are exposing it. It is the infiltration of sodomites into the Catholic priesthood. The pederasts and paedophiles who preyed upon our children and the bishops that covered them up are the enemy. The priests and bishops that bought into the heretical notion of liberation theology - stooges of the KGB they were that are the problem. It is those people who taught and still teach that women can be ordained. Now we have bishops meeting secretly plotting the approval of sodomite unions as some form of marriage to say nothing of the profanation of the Holy Eucharist. It is those who abuse the Divine Liturgy. I could go on.

These are guilty of blasphemy. These are they who are trying to destroy the Church.

They will not succeed.


To blame bloggers beyond absurd.
