On September 14, the Feast of the Holy Cross, we reported (below for original post) that the annual spiritual retreat of prayer, fasting and contemplation, party gab and golf vacation at the NottyWasaga Inn at a cost of $800 each priest to the parish was limited to those who had the double jab. We noted then that those who could not attend would then be outed for the Cardinal and his Chancerycrats to target.
Yesterday, October 1, Chancellor Edward Curtis issued a memorandum that "out of an abundance of caution" after solemn "reflection" by the Episcopally bored Board there will instead a "virtual retreat" as in 2020.
It was determined that it would be a "cause for concern" to gather hundreds of priests together in a common setting, given the current conditions caused by the Chinese Communist Party Virus. Curtis further stated many priests advised that they were not comfortable attending in such a large group. Of course, one could ask these jabbed Fathers what they could possibly be afraid of the "vaccine" actually worked. Further, Curtis reveals that if just one priest contracted the virus there it would require that all would need to "self-isolate" under current public health requirements for up to two weeks. This would cause immense pastoral problems.
No kidding Chancellor Sherlock. You didn't know this on September 14 and whatever day you booked the Nottywasaga Inn? Of course, you did - it's "common sense" as Collins has said about all of us getting the jabs, so what has changed in a month?
Oh, I know; mission accomplished!
Thomas Collins and his minions now have a list of every priest in the Archdiocese of Toronto who has not been jabbed.
Well played, Tom. Good for you Ed.
For now.

Cardinal Collins to Toronto Priests - No jab? No gab!
NO NOTTAWASAGA FOR YOU! |
What an ingeniously wicked and manipulative way to determine which priests in the Archdiocese of Toronto have not gotten the jab. They will all be exposed, outed to all their colleagues for easy shaming and targetting. I can assure you, they may not be the majority but they are not a few. There is also a repugnant level of harassment that has begun against some of those not jabbed. On the other hand, the un-jabbed will probably look at this as a bonus.
Cardinal Collins has been pushing the jab on Catholics for many months. Preaching from the Ambo at St. Michael's Cathedral, he has called it "common sense" and an "act of charity" admonishing Catholics that those who do not take it obviously have no concern for the "common good." It is important to note that Collins went even further than the government diktats in Ontario and shut down Mass completely, even before the initial lockdown and later, at a time when the government did not shut religious services and only severely restricted numbers. For many Catholics, receiving Holy Communion is impossible because Collins continues to prohibit Holy Communion on the tongue at Mass - a situation where some Catholics have now gone 18 months without the holy Sacrament. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Second Vatican Council and the Canadian bishops' own infamous Winnipeg Statement all remind us that our conscience is supreme and that we cannot violate our conscience. Except in the matter of taking the jab or in the manner of receiving Holy Communion. Here, we are expected in these two matters to violate our consciences.
Rise up, Fathers, unite. If you are a Toronto priest and on your own and do not know your brothers who think like you, or if you are a priest being persecuted or harassed by your pastor, feel free to write me in confidence where I can share with you those priest colleagues who will support you and network in truth, solidarity, support and prayer.
Fathers, you are not alone. Do not violate your conscience! voxcantoris@rogers.com
