Hi there, Public Health does not oversee the hospital system.
I encourage you to speak to Ontario Health should you have concerns.
Given the tone of your e-mails, I regret that I won't be able to engage with you further.
With best wishes.
Dear Lawrence Mengele,
I have read your instruction to churches for Easter. How dare you insinuate yourself into our liturgical practices. You have no authority, no right to tell Christians what to do. The fact that the Cardinal has acquiesced to you “virtuous” public health officials, is repugnant to this writer.
It is clear to me that doctors in public health were at the bottom of their classes. They chose not to go into the bloody mess of surgery, the sadness of oncology, the genius of research and the humble ongoing service of general practice. Clearly, you and your ilk preferred a bureaucratic 9-5 job, and to tell people what to do. Control freaks and communist diktats in the new Oath and Order while you murder the unborn in their mother’s wombs.
We, the people, did not elect you. Get your dictatorship out of our churches. The fact that the majority of Catholic bishops and protestant pastors have gone along with this unconstitutional behaviour on your part is a bigger scandal than the junk science you push. Five months of lockdown has not worked. If only you followed the science.
Vox Cantoris - the male of the two genders – that is science!

Dear Christian Faith Leaders of Peel,
Subject: Celebrating Easter During the COVID-19 Pandemic and
Instructions
for Vaccination
On behalf of Peel Public Health, I would like to extend my
best wishes to you and your
congregation during this Holy Season of Easter. We recognize
this is the second year that
communities are being asked to make new traditions, in light
of COVID-19 precautions.
I would like to personally thank you for the continued
sacrifices both you and your
community have made throughout the pandemic to long-standing
religious practices. Your
dedication, graciousness, compassion, and support for your
community during the COVID-19
response is commendable. We plan to continue working with
you as community leaders to
limit the spread of COVID-19 and to encourage the community
to get vaccinated when it’s
their turn. Those who are 75 years and older are now
eligible.
Vaccination for Faith Leaders
Faith Leaders who are eligible can now be vaccinated. More
details concerning eligibility
and how to receive your vaccine can be found on page 3. If
eligible, I urge you to get
vaccinated as soon as possible so you can be protected from
COVID-19.
As a community role model, once you are vaccinated, I
encourage you to share this good
news with your congregation and encourage them to do the
same to protect themselves
and their loved ones. Consider taking a selfie at our
vaccination clinic, using the hashtag
#gotmyvax and sharing it with others. The sooner our community
gets vaccinated, the
sooner we get back to celebrating our faith together, side
by side.
Please continue to encourage your community to remain
vigilant against the risk of spread.
Let’s continue to take care of each other by practicing the
actions we know are effective.
Changes to Gathering Limits at Places of Worship
As you are aware, on March 19 the province announced that
Peel is currently in the Grey[1]Lockdown stage of the
Province of Ontario’s COVID-19 Response Framework. This means
that currently, weddings, funerals, religious services, and
events should be celebrated
virtually whenever possible. If this is not possible,
in-person religious services and events
must be limited to 15 per cent capacity indoors or 50 people
outdoors. Services should only
be conducted if 2-metre physical distancing can be
maintained. Should provincial guidance
change, Peel Public Health will update our Community Spaces
web page with the latest
changes.
To keep your community safe this year, please consider
offering virtual or live-streamed
services as the first choice, in order to allow your
congregations to continue practicing
their faith. /2
Virtual services will prevent close contact between members
of your congregation.
Gathering virtually enables congregants to practice their
faith with one another with the
confidence that they are also doing all they can do reduce
the risk of spread.
If you have some in-person services or allow individuals to
attend the church, please
ensure the following public health measures are in place.
• Ask your congregation to screen for COVID-19 before
attending any in-person
activities.
• Keep a log of visitors, in case public health contact
tracing is required.
• Post material related to COVID-19 safety, symptoms and
screening at the entrance.
• Implement processes to ensure physical distancing at all
times (for example, entry
and exit times).
• Provide alcohol-based hand sanitizer at all entrances and
in each room.
• Ensure masks are worn at all times while indoors.
• Ensure proper cleaning and disinfection practices for
high-touch surfaces.
• Limit the sharing or distributing materials or objects,
such as hymn books,
microphones, water, etc.:
o Ensure that hand hygiene is performed prior to
distribution or sharing;
o Consider leaving objects or materials to be distributed on
a table for
individuals to pick up; and/or
o Limit the number of individuals who have contact with
materials or objects.
o Ensure any materials or objects that are returned or
accessed within the
setting are disinfected or not re-used immediately.
• Suspend singing, playing wind or brass instruments, and
choirs due to the nature of
high transmission.
• Seat members of the same household together with 2-metre
distance between
households.
If you or your community have any questions related to
COVID-19, please call Peel Public
Health at 905-799-7700 (8:30 am – 4:30 pm, Monday – Friday)
or visit our website at:
https://www.peelregion.ca/coronavirus/.
Information about vaccines and how to book an appointment
can be found at
https://www.peelregion.ca/coronavirus/vaccine/.
For assistance, call the Vaccination Line at 905-791-5202,
open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
7 days a week.
Many thanks to you for your ongoing contribution, in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sincerely,
Lawrence C. Loh, MD, MPH, FCFP, FRCPC, FACPM (he/his)

There are times that a blog post writes itself. This is one of those times.
With apologies to the two good, faithful Jesuit priests in Canada that read this blog, but seriously Fathers, when is too much, too much?
UPDATE:

Canada's First LGBTQA+ Technology Conference Venture Out Returns to Toronto (newswire.ca)'
Montreal, March 22, 2021.– On 25 February 2021, a joint press release from the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) announced that, after a review of 63 D&P partners, 24 of them would no longer receive funding from CCODP, while 19 others would not be renewed. This follows the announcement months earlier of changes made to the organisation’s governance and partner selection process.
The Jesuits of Canada have been privileged to collaborate with the CCODP in furthering the social mission of the Church and look forward to many more years of the same. Over its long history, CCODP has accompanied people working for social change in the Global South, often making the difference between life and death for people who are marginalized.
We are deeply saddened to learn that so many CCODP partners are losing this vital support from CCODP. We regret that the process to arrive to this decision was not marked by the transparency and collaboration that the Church knows are key virtues to witnessing to the Good News and to becoming a synodal Church.
This process has harmed the reputation of some people and organizations, many supported by the local Church, who often risk their lives to defend poor and marginalized people. The impact of this decision may have widespread and long-term consequences for partner organizations in the Global South, threatening their very existence. This would represent a profound loss of the prophetic witness of the Church.
It appears that a review was undertaken with the purpose of judging the partners on their adherence to the Church’s teachings on sexual matters. We believe, however that the partners should be viewed with gratitude for their demonstrated and consistent commitment to the core richness of the Church’s social teachings. If consulted, lay people and the Religious of Canada, many of whom have worked in the Global South and who personally know many of these organizations and their contexts, could have provided more accurate information on the partners under review.
We also acknowledge with gratitude and hope the many signs of openness to international solidarity that we see emerging among the people of God in Canada. These seem to be signs of the Spirit at work. Along with the rest of the Church, we are being called to healing and transformation, especially with our brothers and sisters in the Global South. We wish to work with groups like CCODP in order to be transformed for the Kingdom of God.

As reported yesterday, one below, Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, declared on Sunday from the Cathedra that if one does not submit themselves to taking the so-called "vaccine" against SARS-CoV-2 then one lacks "common sense" and is acting against "charity". As Shepherd of the Church in the Archdiocese of Toronto and Metropolitan for much of Ontario, Thomas Collins owes it to the faithful to explain himself. On what basis does this man dare to make a determination from the Chair that it is "common sense" to take what is an experimental therapy that is not a traditional vaccine and has moral implications due to the testing on or actual containment of fetal stem cells from aborted children.
 |
| Cardinal Collins on being told of another post by Vox Cantoris |
"Wise and sensible," says His Eminence. “It’s not a magic bullet, nothing is – but it’s one of the most sensible ways in which we can get beyond this pandemic and move on to serve the Lord day by day in ways that will put this behind us," says our resident episcopal expert on medical therapies.
The British government itself has compiled adverse reactions and deaths from the "vaccines." What does Cardinal Collins think of his common sense advice.
But what does the Cardinal think or say about the matter of conscience?
In 1968, the Canadian bishops, (and this still stands, it has never been retracted), made some interesting statements about conscience. Shall we have a look at one?
26. Counsellors may meet others who, accepting the teaching of the Holy Father, find that because of particular circumstances they are involved in what seems to them a clear conflict of duties, e.g., the reconciling conjugal love and responsible parenthood with the education of children already born or with the health of the mother. I accord with the accepted principles of moral theology, if these persons have tried sincerely but without success to pursue a line of conduct in keeping with the given directives, they may be safely assured that, whoever honestly chooses that course which seems right to him does so in good conscience.
"Whoever honestly chooses that course which seems right to him does so in good conscience." Well then, Your Eminence, please explain to this simple uneducated man who has no fancy paper to hang on his wall how it is okay to use my "conscience" to contracept, even if that contraception might also be an abortifacient and when that same conscience prevents me from taking a "vaccine" that I do not wish, for whatever reason my well-formed and supreme conscience, informs me, I am "uncharitable" and acting without "common sense."
What is sin, Your Eminence?
According to paragraph 849 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
"Sin is an offence against reason, truth, and right conscience."
There we have it, "right conscience."
Collins dares to call it "common sense." His Eminence makes bold to say that "we need to vaccinate the population" and has the actual temerity to presumptively declare those who refuse are "uncharitable,'" even if those very same people are making a decision in full accord with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and in "right conscience."
How many people will take Cardinal Collins's advice and admonition and take the gene therapy because of his urging and will suffer negative consequences or even death from it? Will Collins take the responsibility for this?
These lawsuits will be part of his legacy and if you think this is bad, wait until January when we get Canada's version of Blaise Cupich.
Was your promotion of these gene therapies tied to the niggardly increase of church occupancy to fifteen percent in the grey lockdown areas?Do you believe that you should personally benefit from the murder of an aborted child?Are you afraid of speaking against these genetic therapies and the connection to abortion because YouTube may remove your live-stream Mass and Facebook will ban you and thus prevent you from promoting it?Are you going to demand on pain of suspension that every priest receive the therapy?Will you punish any parish employee or contractor in the Archdiocese of Toronto who refuses to accept the alleged morality or medical efficacy of the genetic therapy?Will a "vaccine passport" be necessary to come to Mass?Are you so much the compromiser as to take the advice of the same "virtuous" public health official that limited church attendance to ten? It was YOU Cardinal Collins that closed the churches and shut down the Mass in November!Are you prepared for the lawsuits from those who have an illness or the estates of those who may die from these experimental gene therapies that you are promoting and who may take them only because they were confident because "the Cardinal said it was an act of charity and I must be charitable?"
That's right. There is no Mass for you because the man above said so. He eliminated the public offering of Holy Mass in the Archdiocese of Toronto, not Doug Ford. Lest you think I will defend that unchurched ignoramus, I shall not, he reduced attendance at religious services to ten persons from the paltry thirty-percent. However, tomorrow at 12:01 A.M. that restriction moved to fifteen-percent from ten persons for those in the grey area. Do not forget that it was Collins that shut down the Mass.
Reading the Archdiocese of Toronto's social media one would be led to think that all restrictions are lifted. People who are either stupid or victims of Stockholm Syndrome are rejoicing over this, some are even looking forward to Holy Week at this ridiculous number as if they are guaranteed a ticket.
Sure, let's rejoice that Cardinal Collins' marketing expert letters campaign worked. Thirteen thousand letters out one and half million Catholics. Great response. Tongue in cheek of course. It is a pathetic joke. Worked? How different is this from thrity-percent. At least one priest I know has told me there is no difference, "we always only had fifteen percent because social distancing could not be met at thirty!"
There is no rejoicing here, Cardinal Collins and his expert adviser, Neil MacCarthy are epic failures in any and every discussion they have ever had with the Ontario Government. This is just one more to add to the legacy.
