Bishop Crosby of Hamilton in Canada, banned Good Friday and Easter Vigil in defiance of Cardinal Sarah and Francis!
Douglas Crosby, OMI, is the Bishop of Hamilton in Canada, a suffrage diocese to the Metropolitan See of Toronto. Crosby was the pastor at St. Joseph's in Ottawa in 1987 from where the demonic-inspired attack to oust the fledgling Oratorian community was led. I was there at St. Brigid's. I know the history and he has a history.
In defiance of the Instruction that Pastors must celebrate (below Crosby's letter) the Triduum in their parishes with certain modifications, Crosby banned the celebration of the sacred rites on Good Friday and the Holy Saturday Easter Vigil.
Here is his order (note, computer generated signatures, not even real, but a font).

From Cardinal Sarah:
This contrasted with the Archdiocese of Toronto and Thomas Cardinal Collins who advised all parishes that they were to implement Cardinal Sarah's Instruction. Further, he and the Cathedral Rector, Father Edward Curtis along with three others priests resident at the Bishop's "Palace" (a lovely nearly 200 year old house/rectory more than a palace and the oldest building in Toronto used for its original purpose), did the entire Triduum and live-streamed it, and singing much of it.
Crosby's actions were disgraceful, without authority and logic and objectively speaking, grievously sinful. Nobody's health was jeopardised! Crosby and Monsignor Crotch are heretics - believing in essentially the Heresy of Assemblyism - that the assembly of people is necessary for the worship of God and the fulfilment of the liturgy. Clearly, they have no belief in the efficacy of the rites themselves.
The Diocese of Hamilton has many good priests, young, educated in Toronto at St. Philip's Seminary at the Toronto Oratory. This is where the former Bishop Tonnos sent all of his Seminarians, something Crosby ended within two years of his appointments. Those priests, perhaps twenty or so, will fix this, all in good time.
Crosby and Monsignor Crotch or evil man - malefactors. They must be called out and condemned for what they did. They cannot be defended in any way for this.
The people of Hamilton Diocese which includes Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Brantford, Burlington, Milton, Oakville up to Owen Sound and all the bucolic country in between must and the priests at some point must rise-up and challenge these two hirelings.
Pathetic monsters they are. Wolves in sheep's clothing.
May Our Lord Jesus Christ judge them and may he deliver the people of Hamilton from such derelict "men."
Oh, and about those two OMI "Co-Pastors" at St. Lawrence and St. Patrick, that Crosby imported from Labrador...

Wa Habibi
وا حبيبي وا حبيبي أي حال أنت فيه
من رآك فشجاك أنت أنت المفتدي
يا حبيبي أي ذنب حمل العدل بنيه
فأزادوك جراحاً ليس فيها من شفاء
حين في البستان ليلاً سجد الفادي الإلة
كانت الدنيا تصلي للذي أغنى الصلاة
شجر الزيتون يبكي و تناديه الشفاء
يا حبيبي كيف تمضي أترى ضاع الوفاء
My beloved, my beloved
What state are you in?
He who sees you, for you would cry
You are the one and only sacrifice
My beloved,
What blame have the nations put upon you?
They melted you with wounds,
To which no healing would do
When in the dark orchard at night
The God Creater kneeled and prayed
Life was praying with the One
Who gave life hope and prayer
The olive trees are crying
As the lips of men quiver
My beloved how will you go?
Has loyalty gone forever?
My beloved, my beloved
What state are you in?
He who sees you, for you would cry
You are the one and only sacrifice

VOCES8: 'Ne Irascaris Domine' & 'Civitas Sancti Tui' by William Byrd
Be not angry, O Lord,
and remember our iniquity no more.
Behold, we are all your people.
Your holy city has become a wilderness.
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem has been made desolate.
and remember our iniquity no more.
Behold, we are all your people.
Your holy city has become a wilderness.
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem has been made desolate.
"Vere languores" Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548 - 1611)
Truly, our failings he has taken upon himself
and our sorrows he has borne
By his wounds we have been saved.
O sweet wood, O sweet nails that bore this sweet burden
which alone were worthy to support
the King of heaven and Lord.
and our sorrows he has borne
By his wounds we have been saved.
O sweet wood, O sweet nails that bore this sweet burden
which alone were worthy to support
the King of heaven and Lord.

33 Years
The age of Our Blessed Lord at the time of the betrayal by Judas Iscariot who was not a "good boy" and of whom the Lord said, "It would be better had he not been born," and whom has always been presumed to be in Hell.
The number of years which your writer has sung the Triduum.
Until this year. Surreal.
