Most Holy Father,

I was born 57 years ago and joined the Dominican Order 35 years ago. I took my perpetual vows 29 years ago and have been a priest now for 28 years. I had only vague recollections from my early childhood of the Holy Mass in its form predating the reforms of 1970. Sixteen years after my ordination, two lay friends (unknown to each other) urged me to learn how to celebrate the Holy Mass in its traditional form. I listened to them.

It was a shock to me. I discovered that the Holy Mass in its classical form:

- directs the entire attention of both priest and faithful towards the Mystery,

- expresses, with great precision of words and gestures, the faith of the Church in what is happening here and now on the altar,

- reinforces, with a power equal to its precision, the faith of the celebrant and of the people,

- does not lead either priest or faithful towards an invention or creativity of their own during the liturgy,

- places them, quite on the contrary, on a path of silence and contemplation,

- offers by the number and nature of its gestures the possibility of incessant acts of piety and love towards God,

- unites the priest and faithful, placing them on the same side of the altar and turning them in the same direction: versus Crucem, versus Deum.

I said to myself: so this is what the Holy Mass is! And I, a priest of 16 years, did not know it! It was a powerful eureka, a discovery, after which my idea of the Mass could not remain the same.

From the beginning it had struck me that this rite is the opposite of the stereotype. Instead of formalism, free expression of the soul before God. Instead of frigidity, the fervour of divine cult. Instead of distance, closeness. Instead of strangeness, intimacy. Instead of rigidity, security. Instead of the passivity of the laity, their deep and living connection to the mystery (it was through the laity, after all, that I was led to the traditional Mass). Instead of a chasm between priest and the faithful, a close spiritual union between all those present, protected and expressed by the silence of the Canon. In making this discovery it became clear to me: this very form is our bridge to the generations who lived before us and passed on the faith. My joy in this ecclesial unity that transcends all time was enormous.

From the beginning, I experienced the powerful force of spiritual attraction of the Mass in its traditional form. It was not the signs in themselves which attracted me, but their significance, which the soul knows how to read. The very thought of the next celebration filled me with joy. I sought every opportunity to celebrate with eagerness and longing. Very soon a complete certainty matured within me, that, were I to celebrate Mass (as well as every Sacrament and ceremony) only in its traditional form till the end of my days, I would not miss the post-conciliar form in the least.

Had someone asked me to express with a single word my feelings about the traditional celebration in the context of the reformed rite, I would have replied “relief.” For it was indeed a relief, one of indescribable depth. It was like that of someone who, having walked all his life in shoes with a pebble in them that rubs and irritates his feet, but who has no other experience of walking, is offered, 16 years later, a pair of shoes with no pebble and the words: “Here,” “Put them on,” “try them!” Not only did I rediscover the Holy Mass, but also the astounding difference between the two forms: that which had been in use for centuries and the post-conciliar one. I had not known this difference because I had not known the earlier form. I cannot compare my encounter with the traditional liturgy to a meeting with someone who has adopted me and has become my adoptive parent. It was a meeting with a Mother who has always been my Mother, yet I had not known her.

I was accompanied in all this by the blessing of the Supreme Pontiffs. They had taught that the missal of 1962 “had never been legally abrogated and remained, therefore, in principle, always permitted,” adding that “what had been sacred for previous generations remained sacred and great also for us, and could not suddenly become completely forbidden nor even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed through the faith and prayer of the Church and to give them their proper place” (Benedict XVI, Letter to the Bishops, 2007). The faithful were also taught: “On account of its venerable and ancient use, the forma extraordinaria is to be maintained with the honour due to it”; it has been described as “a precious treasure to be preserved” (Instruction Universae Ecclesiae, 2011). These words followed earlier documents which made it possible for the faithful to use the traditional liturgy after the reforms of 1970, the first being Quattuor abhinc annos of 1984. The foundation and source for all these documents remain the Bull of Saint Pius V, Quo primum tempore (1570).

Holy Father, if, without forgetting the solemn document of Pope Pius V, we take into consideration the lapse of time covering the declarations of your immediate predecessors we have a duration of 37 years, from 1984 to 2021, during which the Church said to the faithful, concerning the traditional liturgy, and ever more strongly: “There is such a way. You may walk along with it.”

I, therefore, took the path offered to me by the Church.

Whoever takes this road—whoever wants this rite, which is the vessel of divine Presence and divine Oblation, to bear fruit within his own life—should open himself entirely so as to entrust himself and others to God, present and acting within us through the vessel of this holy rite. This I did, with complete confidence.

Then came the 16th of July 2021.

From your documents, Holy Father, I learnt that the path I had been walking on for 12 years had ceased to exist.

We have affirmations of two Popes. His Holiness Benedict XVI had said that the Roman Missal promulgated by Saint Pius V “must be considered the extraordinary expression of the lex orandi of the Catholic Church of the Roman Rite.” Yet His Holiness Pope Francis says that “the liturgical books promulgated by Popes St. Paul VI and St. John Paul II (...) are the only expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite.” The affirmation of the successor thus denies that of his still-living predecessor.

Can a certain manner of celebrating Mass, confirmed by immemorial, centuries-old Tradition, recognized by every Pope, including yourself, Holy Father, until the 16th of July of 2021, and sanctified by its practice over so many centuries, suddenly cease to be the lex orandi of the Roman Rite? If this were the case, it would mean that such a characteristic is not intrinsic to the rite but is an external attribute, subject to the decisions of those who occupy places of high authority. In reality, the traditional liturgy expresses the lex orandi of the Roman Rite by its every gesture and every sentence and by the whole that they compose. It is guaranteed also to express this lex orandi, as the Church has always held, on account of its uninterrupted use, since time immemorial. We must conclude that the first papal affirmation [of Benedict] has solid foundations and is true and that the second [of Francis] is groundless and is false. But despite its being false, it is nevertheless given the power of law. This has consequences about which I will write below.

Concessions regarding the use of the Missal of 1962 now have a different character than earlier ones. It is no longer about responding to the love with which the faithful adhere to the traditional form, but about giving the faithful time—how much time, we are not told—to “return” to the reformed liturgy. The words of the Motu Proprio and your Letter to the Bishops make it entirely clear that the decision has been taken, and is already being implemented, to remove the traditional liturgy from the life of the Church and cast it into the abyss of oblivion: it may not be used in parish churches, new groups must not be formed, Rome must be consulted if new priests are to say it. The bishops are now indeed to be Traditionis Custodes, “custodians of Tradition,” yet not in the sense of guardians who protect it, but rather in the sense of custodians of a jail.

Allow me to express my conviction that this will not happen, and that the operation will fail. What are the grounds for this conviction? A careful analysis of both Letters of July 16th exposes four components: Hegelianism, nominalism, belief in the Pope’s omnipotence, and collective responsibility. Each one is an essential component of your message and none of them can be reconciled with the deposit of the Catholic faith. Since they cannot be reconciled with the faith, they will not be integrated into it either in theory or in practice. Let us examine each of them in turn.

1) Hegelianism. The term is a conventional one: it does not mean literally the system of the German philosopher Hegel, but something that derives from this system, namely the understanding of history as a good, rational, and inevitable process of continuous changes. This way of thinking has a long history, from Heraclitus and Plotinus, to Joachim of Fiore, down to Hegel, Marx, and their modern heirs. The characteristic of this approach is to divide history into phases, such that the beginning of each new phase is joined to the end of the preceding one. Attempts to “baptize” Hegelianism are nothing other than attempts to endow these supposed historical phases with the authority of the Holy Spirit. It is assumed that the Holy Spirit communicates to the next generation something that He has not spoken of to the preceding one, or even that He imparts something that contradicts what He has said before. In the latter case, we must accept one of three things: either in certain phases the Church failed to obey the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Spirit is subject to change, or He carries contradictions within Him.

Another consequence of this worldview is a change in how we understand the Church and Tradition. The Church is no longer seen as a community uniting the faithful by transcending time, as the Catholic faith holds, but as a set of groups belonging to the various phases. These groups no longer have a common language: our ancestors had no access to what the Holy Spirit says to us today. Tradition itself is no longer one message that is continuously studied; it consists rather in receiving, again and again, new things from the Holy Spirit. We then come to hear instead, as in Your Letter to the Bishops, Holy Father, of “the dynamic of Tradition,” often with an application to specific events. An example of this is when you write that this dynamic’s “last stage is the Second Vatican Council, during which Catholic bishops gathered in order to listen and discern the way shown to the Church by the Holy Spirit.” This line of reasoning implies that a new phase requires new liturgical forms because the former ones were suited to the previous stage, which is over. Since this sequence of stages is sanctioned by the Holy Spirit, through the Council, those who hold on to the old forms despite having access to new ones oppose the Holy Spirit.

Such views, however, are contrary to the faith. Holy Scripture, the norm of the Catholic faith, provides no grounds for such an understanding of history. Rather, it teaches us an altogether different understanding. King Josiah, having learned about the discovery of the old book of the Law, ordered that the celebration of Passover be conducted in accordance with it, despite an interruption of half a century (2 Kgs 22-23). In the same way, Ezra and Nehemiah on their return from the Babylonian captivity celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles with the entire people, strictly according to the ancient records of the Law, despite many decades have passed since the previous celebration (Neh 8). In each case, the old documents of the law were used to renew the divine worship after a period of turmoil. No one demanded a change in the ritual on the ground that new times had arrived.

2) Nominalism. While Hegelianism influences one’s understanding of history, nominalism affects one’s understanding of unity. Nominalism implies that introducing outward unity (by means of a top-down administrative decision) is equivalent to achieving real unity. This is because nominalism abolishes spiritual reality by seeking to grasp and regulate it with material measures. You write, Holy Father, that: “It is to defend the unity of the Body of Christ that I am forced to withdraw the faculty granted by my predecessors.” But to reach this goal, true unity, your predecessors made the opposite decision, and not without reason. When one understands that true unity includes something spiritual and internal, and thus differs from mere external unity, one no longer seeks it simply by the uniformity of external signs. We do not obtain true unity in this way, but rather, impoverishment, and the opposite of unity: division.

Unity does not result from the withdrawal of faculties, the revocation of consent, and the imposition of limitations. King Rehoboam of Judah, before deciding how to treat the Israelites, who wished him to improve their lot, consulted two groups of advisors. The older ones recommended leniency and a reduction of the people’s burdens: age, in Holy Scripture, often symbolizes maturity. The young, who were contemporaries of the king, recommended increasing their burdens and the use of harsh words: youth, in Scripture, often symbolizes immaturity. The king followed the advice of the young. This failed to bring unity between Judah and Israel. On the contrary, it started the division of the country into two kingdoms (1 Kgs 12). Our Lord healed this division through mildness, knowing that the lack of this virtue had caused the split.

Before Pentecost, the apostles assessed unity by external criteria. This approach was corrected by the Saviour Himself, who, in reply to the words of St. John: “Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us,” answered “Let him do so, for he who is not against you is with you” (Lk 9,49-50, cf. Mt 9,38-41). Holy Father, you had many hundreds of thousands of the faithful who “were not against” you. And you have done so much to make things difficult for them! Would it not have been better to follow the words of the Saviour indicating a deeper, spiritual foundation of unity? Hegelianism and nominalism frequently become allies, since the materialistic understanding of history leads to the conviction that each stage must irrevocably end.

3) Belief in the Pope’s omnipotence. When Pope Benedict XVI granted greater freedom to the use of the classic form of liturgy, he referred to a centuries-old custom and uses. These provided a solid basis for his resolve. The decision of Your Holiness is based on no such foundations. On the contrary, it revokes something that has existed and endured for a very long time. You write, Holy Father, that you find support in the decisions of St. Pius V, but he applied criteria that are exactly the opposite of your own. According to him, what had existed and lasted for centuries would continue undisturbed; only what was newer was abrogated. The sole basis left for your decision is therefore the will of one person endowed with papal authority. Can this authority, though, however great it may be, prevent ancient liturgical customs from being an expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Church? Saint Thomas Aquinas asks himself whether God can cause something which once existed, never to have existed. The answer is no because contradiction is not part of God's omnipotence (Summa Theologiae, p. I, qu. 25, art. 4). In a similar way, papal authority cannot cause traditional rituals that have expressed the faith of the Church (lex credendi) for centuries, suddenly, one day, no longer to express the law of the prayer of the same Church (lex orandi). The Pope may make decisions, but not ones that violate a unity that extends to the past and to the future, far beyond the duration of his pontificate. The Pope is at the service of a unity greater than his own authority. For it is a God-given unity and not one of human origin. It is therefore unity that takes precedence over authority, and not authority over unity.

4) Collective responsibility. Indicating the motives of your decision, Holy Father, you make various and grave allegations against those who exercise the faculties recognized by Pope Benedict XVI. It is not specified, however, who perpetrates these abuses, or where, or in what number. There are only the words “often” and “many.” We do not even know whether it is a majority. Probably not. Yet not a majority, but all those who make use of the above-mentioned faculties have been affected by a draconian penal sanction. They have been deprived of their spiritual path, either immediately or at some unspecified future time. There are certainly people who misuse knives. Should the production and distribution of knives, therefore, be banned? Your decision, Holy Father, is far more grievous than would be the hypothetical absurdity of a universal prohibition against making knives.

Holy Father: why are you doing this? Why have you attacked the holy practice of the ancient form of celebrating the Most Holy Sacrifice of Our Lord? The abuses committed in other forms, widespread or universal though they are, lead to nothing beyond words, to declarations expressed in general terms. But how can one teach with authority that “the disappearance of a culture can be just as serious, or even more serious, than the disappearance of a species of plant or animal” (Laudato si 145), and then a few years later, with a single act, destine a great part of the Church’s own spiritual and cultural heritage to extinction? Why do the rules of “deep ecology” formulated by you fail to apply in this case? Why did you not instead ask whether the constantly growing number of the faithful assisting at the traditional liturgy could be a sign from the Holy Spirit? You did not follow the advice of Gamaliel (Acts 5). Instead, you struck them with a ban that had not even a vacatio legis.

The Lord God, the model for earthly rulers and, in the first place, for church authorities, does not use His power in this way. Holy Scripture speaks thus to God: “For thy power is the beginning of justice: and because thou art Lord to all, thou makest thyself gracious to all (…) But thou being master of power, judgest, and with great favour disposest of us: for thy power is at hand when thy wilt” (Wis 12, 16-18). Real power does not need to prove itself by harshness. And harshness is not an attribute of any authority which follows the divine model. Our Saviour Himself left us precise and reliable teaching on this (Mt 20, 24-28). Not only has the carpet been pulled, so to speak, from beneath the feet of people who were walking towards God; an attempt has been made to deprive them of the very ground they walk on. This attempt will not succeed. Nothing which is in conflict with Catholicism will be accepted in God’s Church.

Holy Father, it is impossible to experience the ground under one’s feet for 12 years and suddenly assert that it is no longer there. It is impossible to conclude that my own Mother, found after many long years, is not my Mother. Papal authority is immense. But even this authority cannot make my Mother cease to be my Mother! A single-life cannot bear two mutually exclusive ruptures, one of which opens a treasure, whilst the other claims that this treasure must be abandoned because its value has expired. If I were to accept these contradictions I should no longer be able to have any intellectual life, nor, therefore, any spiritual life either. From two contradictory statements, any affirmation, true or false, may be made to follow. This means the end of rational thinking, the end of any notion of reality, the end of effective communication of anything to anyone. But all these things are basic components of human life in general, and of Dominican life in particular.

I have no doubts about my vocation. I am firmly resolved to continue my life and service within the Order of St Dominic. But to do so I must be able to reason correctly and logically. After the 16th of July 2021, this is no longer possible for me within the existing structures. I see with complete clarity that the treasure of the holy rites of the Church, the ground under the feet of those who practice them, and the mother of their piety, continues to exist. It has become equally clear to me that I must bear witness to it.

I have been left no choice now but to turn to those who from the very beginning of the radical changes (changes, let it be noted, that go far beyond the will of the Second Vatican Council) have defended the Tradition of the Church, together with the Church’s respect for the requirements of reason, and who continue to pass on the unchangeable deposit of Catholic faith to the faithful: the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. The SSPX has shown a readiness to accept me, whilst fully respecting my Dominican identity. It is providing me not only with a life of service to God and the Church, a service not impeded by contradictions, but also with an opportunity to oppose those contradictions which are an enemy to Truth, and which have attacked the Church so vigorously.

There is a state of controversy between the SSPX and the official structures of the Church. It is an internal dispute within the Church, and it concerns matters of great importance. The documents and the decisions of the 16th of July have caused my position on this subject to converge with that of the SSPX. As in the case of any important dispute, this one too must be resolved. I am determined to devote my efforts towards this end. I intend this letter to be part of this effort. The means used can only be humble respect for Truth, and gentleness, both springing from a supernatural source. Thus we can hope for the solution of the controversy and the rebuilding of a unity that will embrace not only those living now but also all generations, both past and future.

I thank you for the attention you have granted to my words and beg, Most Holy Father, for your apostolic blessing.

With filial devotion in Christ,

Fr. Wojciech Gołaski, O.P.

Rome, literally, attacks the Holy Mass and the FSSP while you attack Vox Cantoris

Just a few days after the Cardinal of  Westminster and his buddy at the liturgical congregation in Rome, a know-nothing named Roche distort and literally lie about the ancient liturgy, the Vicar of Rome has declared an outright war, banning the sacraments beyond Mass, sacramentals and the Easter Vigil at the FSSP and the whole Triduum elsewhere. This action by the Vicar of Rome is not exclusive. This writer knows of specific cases close to home with similar decrees. 

Concurrently, Cupich in Chicago has taken on the Mass himself no doubt threatening the very existence of the ICRSS and the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius. 

Yet, while this evil is going on and this writer has warned about the intransigence of some the so-called faithful Catholic trads have used other blogs to deride this writer. One out there by some guy named Fred which I viewed once and will not again is one. The other is of my good friend Barona at Toronto Catholic Witness who send me these:

Barona won't be publishing these, he sent them to me to do so. You have proven me correct.

You fail to understand ecclesiology. You fail to understand corporation sole and basic property rights. You fail to understand legitimate authority whether you happen to like it or not. You continue at TCW and some guy named Fred and probably others by now to point to this writer while the collapse is all around you. You are no doubt, all Americans, all influenced by evangelical protestant heresy and do not think as Catholics, do not discern as Catholics using the whole body of Catholic teaching and thought of two millennia. 

Let me give some basic facts about the law in Ontario. The Chief Medical Officer of Health has been given extraordinary powers due to a declared pandemic. Many of these powers have existed in the revised Health Protection Act for more than a century, since the Spanish Flu. This masking in public places including churches is a mandate under the Act. The bishops have instructed all to follow the civil law and have made their own commands to ensure it. You may not like it but that is the way it is in Ontario. You may wish to debate the justification of the law, the pandemic itself, that is a different debate.

Let us look at what the Catechism has to say:

Authority does not derive its moral legitimacy from itself. It must not behave in a despotic manner, but must act for the common good as a moral force based on freedom and a sense of responsibility: A human law has the character of law to the extent that it accords with right reason, and thus derives from the eternal law. Insofar as it falls short of right reason it is said to be an unjust law, and thus has not so much the nature of law as of a kind of violence. 

Authority is exercised legitimately only when it seeks the common good of the group concerned and if it employs morally licit means to attain it. If rulers were to enact unjust laws or take measures contrary to the moral order, such arrangements would not be binding in conscience. In such a case, authority breaks down completely and results in shameful abuse. —Catechism of the Catholic Church , nos. 1902-1903 

The citizen is obliged in conscience not to follow the directives of civil authorities when they are contrary to the demands of the moral order, to the fundamental rights of persons or the teachings of the Gospel. Refusing obedience to civil authorities, when their demands are contrary to those of an upright conscience, finds its justification in the distinction between serving God and serving the political community. “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29): When citizens are under the oppression of a public authority which oversteps its competence, they should still not refuse to give or to do what is objectively demanded of them by the common good; but it is legitimate for them to defend their own rights and those of their fellow citizens against the abuse of this authority within the limits of the natural law and the law of the gospel. —CCC, n. 2242

I suggest that "despotic" acting governments are of grave concern but this is debate on how far some have gone. The "common good" is a debatable point - I have taken Cardinal Collins to task for using this to the promotion of injection, not a mask. A mask in a pandemic is not unreasonable. The obligation of conscience not to follow involves the fundamental right of the person not to receive an unwanted medical intervention, not use fabric to prevent the transmission of a virus - whether or you think it works is not the point.

More importantly, the Mass is worth crawling on broken glass to get to. A mask is a minor inconvenience. People have died for the Mass. You choose to stamp your feet like a spoilt child.

To suggest that it is worth shutting down the Mass rather than wearing a mask proves that you are a faithless and hopeless cretin. To use this logical and moderate series of posts on this matter over a very real situation when the Devil is prowling for destruction as evidenced above proves you are in his control. Sadly, you're proving Bergoglio's very argument in Tradtionis Custodes about those people. You have fulfilled the evil monsters Alinskyite actions and played right into his hands and those of Cupich, Roche and others.

You have proved me absolutely right.

Be like Daniel

A most salient and relevant recollection by Barona of the Prophet Daniel.

 
TORONTO CATHOLIC WITNESS: Catholics under persecution: Will we restore in Christ or reset in Satan?

The Mass or the mask?

Well, well, well, have I created a little dust storm.

Perusing over the inbox notice of today's posts at Canon212, I find that someone with a blog that I've never heard has judged me and found me wanting. 

If you come into my house and I ask you to take off your shoes, will you do it? If a bishop owns a church, which he does, and he says to come into my church you need to follow my direction (based upon legal public health directives which you have the right to disagree with, as do I in most cases) to wear a mask due to a pandemic. You do it. You do it because he is the property owner under Corporation Sole.

If you take the position that you will not attend any Mass where you are "forced to wear a mask" and you don't attend anywhere else because of these same requirements, then you are in an objective state of mortal sin because you willfully missed Mass out of your own accord.

At more than one combox, you have determined it more necessary to mock me than to address the issue. As for debate and that I can't stand it? The answer is, you can't debate the actual problem and how to deal with it. There isn't a layman, cleric or otherwise in all of Canada who has held the feet of our episcopal hirelings to the fire as this writer, and yet, you mock me? You wish to make me the issue? You're so blind and prideful you can't even address the issue. 

Three Latin Masses in Canada shut down over this issue, by pastors with or without the direct order of the bishop!

You would rather defy diocesan authorities, including the bishop, and lose the Latin Mass. For example, here in Toronto amongst other places, these same diocesan officials have decreed no Holy Communion on the tongue. There are Catholics who have not received the Holy Eucharist in all this time because they stand on a point of principle, yet they still go to Mass. You, in your arrogance and pride, wherever you are that you are not in this situation, would now deny them the Holy Mass. You sit there in your mommy's basement in your dirty underwear in front of your computer without a regard for these folks in the peripheries.

You're a fool and a disgrace.

Do my self-righteous American friends not get this? Hey, some advice, worry about your own collapsing country since you have little concrete to add to the issues in some of our dioceses. Have any of you read this blog for the last eighteen months and the No Mass For You posts on Cardinal Collins. 

Nothing, nothing is more important than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. You do what you can do get there. Even it means crawling on broken glass or wearing a mask over your nose and mouth. How can you even think otherwise.

How will you bear losing your Latin Mass community because of your pride over wearing a mask?

Seeing how you have now determined to go to other blogs to comment about this writer and the reality you still refuse to address, validates my decision to shut down all comments, I had considered restoring them though without the anonymous trolls. I've now decided that it's just not worth it.

A mask is a minor inconvenience in order to preserve the good. You don't deserve the good.

In the early days of SARS-CoV-2 in March 2020, gosh, it seems so long ago, I wrote on this blog about the wearing of a mask in church. It was prompted by a specific community that refused to do it even though the pastors in whose churches the Latin Mass community was guest literally begged them to comply. Those two communities were eventually barred from the use of two churches. I spoke with the leadership there as did the President of Una Voce Canada and we both stated the same thing. You will lose the Mass, this is neither the line in the sand nor the sword to fall on. They did not listen.

Right now in the Province of Ontario, the Chief Medical Officer of Health has ordered the wearing of a mask in indoor spaces and municipalities are enforcing it through by-laws (to my American readers, and ordinance.)

This post is not about whether or not masks work to limit the spread of any virus, are good or bad for you or whether this is all a communist plot to turn us into compliant sheep. My own opinion is that they stop droplets which can contain a virus and in some conditions would be a benefit, for a few minutes, maybe an hour (as surgeons wear for many) not a big deal and it can be anything from a communist globalist plot to an irrational fear of death to a legitimate act in a pandemic. Therefore, any comments about the pros and cons of masks or outrage at this writer will not be published. So, I am telling you write now, save your time and move along!

In Canada, and I believe the United States and much of the west, the dioceses exist under the term "corporation sole." The corporation is vested in the actual person of the bishop. The bishop owns the church, the rectory and everything in it from the organ in the loft to the refrigerator in the rectory kitchen, it is his. One may not like it but the owner of the property has the legal right to tell you how to behave on his or her property. If the bishop tells you to come into church you must have on a shirt and shoes, you would not argue. A mask, under the current government diktats for good or ill, is no different. 

It is not a matter of conscience. It is not compelled speech. It does not indicate agreement. It simply follows an order by the State and the owner of the property, (the bishop). While one may disagree, it is within the realm of "legitimate authority." St. Thomas More would have put on a mask to save the Mass and save his life. He would not have, out of sinful pride, jeopardized the survival of a community. He would have acted in charity to the needs of others and offered up the inconvenience of the hour in a mask to preserve something greater. He would "have given the Devil his due" to uphold the rule of law and preserve that which needs preserving.

Even the Society of St. Pius X priests whom I know have made it very clear. You wear a mask in the church so as not to provoke the State to shut them down! If it is good enough for them, in order to preserve their mission, it is good enough for you!

Do not! I repeat, do not give the Devil anything else. Do not put, out of your own pride, the existence of your Latin Mass community at risk of being killed of, particularly in this time of Traditionis Custodes. In fact, if you follow your pride and refuse to put on a mask because you think you are so much holier than those of us who do put it on, you are participating in an evil that will hurt everyone because you will have given the Devil and his minions the sword with which to cut off the heads of your neighbours. In your pride you are committing an uncharitable act against your neighbour because of the suffering that they will endure if the Devil and his minions have their way. Don't do it!

Friend, grow-up, man-up, woman-up, Catholic-up. It is not about you!

Your right to be a fool

A letter was written by Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster to Arthur Roche, the Archbishop now in charge of the Congregation for Divine Worship. Both Bergoglian minions. I won't comment on it, you can read the actual correspondence and erudite commentary by Father Hunwicke, Father Zuhsdorf and Dr. Joseph Shaw below.

What I will state is this.

If you think there are no enemies to the traditional rite who will pounce to shut it down then you are a deluded idiot. If you think that your "right" not to wear a mask after you've been requested to do by your pastor on orders of the bishop who "owns" the property justifies your defiant political protest whilst putting the continuation of that Mass in jeopardy, you are a stupid fool and in the grave sin of disobedience to legitimate authority. You may not like it but that is a fact. 

If you wish to stick your finger in a light socket, well, you go right ahead. You sin against God because it would be suicide. God set the laws of physics and you know it. God set the power of legitimate authority. You don't need to like it, you need to obey it. The bishop has the right to require your mask.

If you, out of your pride, do this, you are objectively committing a sin. It is not a sin to wear a mask. If it is a sin on the part of the bishop to require it, God will deal with him. If your intransigence causes people to suffer the loss of the Holy Mass, God will deal with you. The lack of respect you show for courageous priests trying to navigate this crisis for the good of your soul is a disgrace.

If this offends you, too bad. You have no right to cause other people the emotional and spiritual suffering that has already hit various communities over this issue and that of the repugnant motu proprio linked below.

They are coming for us. Why would you jeopardize everything? Shame on you. You dare put it at risk for your stupid pride? The sorrow of many will be on you.

I have no sympathy or respect for you. Whether you do for me is not my issue.

Breaking news: 17 deaths in Canada from CCP of those under 19!

As of October 22, 2021, the number of deaths in Canada under the age of 19 from the CCP Virus was 17. Look at the others starting at the other end. Nearly 18,000 were over 80, all others total 10,068. For this, we are going to inject an experimental "vaccine" in millions and now on children at five years old. This is insanity. Note how the deaths from 79 down, typically half, ore more, by the decade. 

While every death is a tragedy and I don't wish to discount any of these, no doubt, there were circumstances that involved underlying conditions. If one is over 80, one has a 5% chance of dying on any given day. Get real.

For 17 deaths of those under 19 years of age we are about to jab with poison children over five years and dare to stick this up the nose of an infant to keep some baby-booming pagan, allegedly, safe.

17!

Wickedness!

To any parent out there that has permitted this or will permit it, you are a disgrace and should be charged, along with the medical tyrant, with assault!

The Remnant Newspaper - Viganò Blasts the Pope & President Show

Cardinal Collins - Are you going to restrict Mass to the jabbed with a passport or are you not? If not, why are your priests discussing it?

It was reported on Wednesday, October 27, one post below, that a statement was issued on the web page of the Archdiocese of Toronto that Cardinal Collins has determined that the "The Archdiocese of Toronto is not asking for proof of vaccination to worship in our churches."

Vox Cantoris: Thomas Cardinal Collins: "The Archdiocese of Toronto is not asking for proof of vaccination to worship in our churches."

Yesterday, October 28, the following information was provided to Vox Cantoris. It is the agenda for a "Zone Meeting" to take place in the west side of Toronto at Holy Angels parish in Etobicoke, The email was sent out by Father Chris Cauchi of Our Lady of Sorrow's Catholic Parish, -  that of the $400,000.00 Holy Moly Doors with a spelling mistake of a non-existent Latin word, installed by its former pastor Nino Cavuto, removed under a cloud of sexual perversion accusations from New York two decades ago. 

Shall we take a look at Father Chris Cauchi's email and agenda?

Subject: Zone Meeting - Nov. 3 at Holy Angels 

Dear Pastors, Associates & Parish Coordinators:

Fraternally,

Fr. Chris Cauchi

And there we have it.

Notwithstanding the Cardinal's insistence that the churches will not be reserved for only the special people with the double jab, his priests are plotting otherwise. 

The area Bishop is Ivan Camillieri. Is Bishop Camillieri trying to undermine the policy already announced by Cardinal Collins or was that a false flag to lull us into complacency and that they really do care about leaving the ninety-nine to search for the one last sheep covered in ulcers and leprosy?

We know the answer. Don't be fooled. They know what they are doing, and we know what they are doing, and now they know that we know what they are doing and they still insist on doing it, as paraphrased from Solzhenitsyn.

If you have chosen not to receive the experimental genetic injection that has caused tens of thousands of serious injuries and deaths and was tested on the stem cells from a kidney of a murdered baby will Cardinal Thomas Collins once again say:

Thomas Cardinal Collins: "The Archdiocese of Toronto is not asking for proof of vaccination to worship in our churches."

In a press release issued yesterday under the authority of Thomas Cardinal Collins, unlike the attempt by the Bishop of Moncton and the current Bishop of Grand Falls, "the Archdiocese of Toronto is not asking for proof of vaccination to worship in our churches."

Why any credit should be necessary for this matter, given the situations elsewhere let us give it where it is due. In comparison to what the two previously mentioned dioceses did, this is a good development. Yet, it is still a preposterous situation that it should even need to be stated. If no injection with the abortion-tainted experimental genetic therapies, Collins is requiring testing, something some other dioceses is not even permitting.  

Perhaps the pressure put on Cardinal Collins from this blog and Toronto Catholic Witness from No Mass For You to the jab policies has had an effect and served notice upon the Cardinal and his Auxiliary Bishops that we will not sit by silently. We have both said, repeatedly, that Collins has sold out to the State and has adopted nearly the same bully tactics, only now trying to be magnanimous in the face of worse scoundrels.

Our post on Moncton and the one this past Sunday (below) on Grand Falls raised publicity and have had an exceptionally large number of readers. The story has been picked up by GloriaTV, CNA, LifeSiteNews, National Catholic Register. Canon212 and other Catholic media outlets. It is critical that these hirelings are not allowed to hide in the abuse of their flocks.

Archdiocese of Toronto - Update on COVID-19 Policies in the Archdiocese of Toronto (archtoronto.org)

Update on COVID-19 Policies in the Archdiocese of Toronto

Posted : Oct-26-2021

In recent days, there have been a number of changes to COVID-19 protocols throughout the province. Given all this new information, the Archdiocese of Toronto wants to provide an update on our COVID-19 policies.

First, we thank all our clergy, staff, volunteers and parishioners for continuing to follow the WorshipSafe protocols. These measures have effectively protected against the transmission of COVID-19 in our parishes. The WorshipSafe protocols remain in place throughout the archdiocese.

To ensure our parishioners remain safe at church as we enter the winter months (when COVID-19 cases have previously increased), the Archdiocese of Toronto has implemented a temporary vaccine policy for clergy, staff and volunteers – in essence, those serving on the front line of ministry. These groups have now provided their proof of vaccination or are completing regular rapid-antigen tests.

The Government of Ontario has mandated proof of vaccination to access certain indoor settings, such as restaurants, bars and gyms. Places of worship are exempt from these proof of vaccination requirements, recognizing both the essential nature of religious institutions in our society and the very limited spread of COVID-19 in these settings.

The Archdiocese of Toronto is not asking for proof of vaccination to worship in our churches. Although the Archdiocese of Toronto encourages all Catholics to be vaccinated for the common good, we are making every effort to ensure that our churches remain open to all. The WorshipSafe protocols have kept our parishioners safe throughout the pandemic and will continue to do so as COVID-19 restrictions are gradually removed throughout the province.

We ask everyone to remain mindful that the pandemic is still part of our lives. Please do not attend church if you have COVID-19 symptoms. And if you are particularly vulnerable to the virus, please limit your indoor activities as much as possible.

If you cannot attend church in person, almost 100 parishes in the Archdiocese of Toronto are offering livestream Masses. You can find a list of those parishes here.

Cardinal Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, continues the dispensation from Sunday obligation for those who cannot attend Mass during the pandemic.

We all hope to return to in-person services with no restrictions as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience as we continue to pray for all of those who are suffering during this time of pandemic.

Rather than preach salvation through Christ alone, Bergoglio damns humanity to syncretism and religious indifference

Under his "Synod on Synodality," Bergoglio's plan is to fully and finally transform the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church into a shell of its former Self, a Church of Man, not of Christ, a Church that cannot save. 

"May his days be shortened and another his bishopric take." 

Another who is a warrior for Christ and true Shepherd, not the false shepherd and wolf which is Bergoglio.

Robert Moynihan: The Complete interview with Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò

 

On this Sunday morning in the Diocese of Grand Falls, in Newfoundland, there is No Mass for You - unless of course you're jabbed!

Bishop Anthony Daniels, Bishop of Grand Falls in the long-suffering Church in Newfoundland has barred anyone from attending the Mass or sacraments unless they are "fully vaccinated." Daniels, former Auxiliary of the Diocese of London is another gift that keeps on giving from Pope Benedict XVI, clearly duped or oblivious to the faithless hirelings he was appointing. 

What a stupid, stupid fool is this Daniels. The rolling seven-day average in all of Newfoundland and Labrador is 3; and for this, he has taken this action.

Utterly demonic. 

Coronavirus trend in Newfoundland and Labrador - Bing

On September 18, we wrote of the situation in Moncton where the bishop attempted the same thing contrary to the other bishops in New Brunswick. A few days later, he backed down. The publicity and letters to the Nuncio no doubt had an effect.

Vox Cantoris: VALERY VIENNEAU, BISHOP OF MONCTON IN NEW BRUNSWICK HAS JUST DECLARED "NO JAB? NO MASS FOR YOU!'

Can we do the same thing for the good and long-suffering Catholics of Grand Falls?

Bishop Daniels, 

Your action to bar the faithful who have chosen not to or cannot receive the experimental genetic injection tested on or containing remnants of fetal stem cells from a baby delivered alive by Caesarean and then dissected is Satanic. You have betrayed your flock and showed yourself to be the rotten hireling that you have always been.

Where is the mercy? Where is the encounter? Where is going out to the peripheries? You call Pope Francis a liar! Of course, so do I but at least I’m honest about it. 

Enjoy your publicity.

Cardinal Collins - Will you ban the un-jabbed to open churches fully to up your collections?

"Neil, you're a genius, collections will skyrocket if we ban the un-jabbed!"

On Friday, October 22 in Ontario, Premier Doug Ford announced a plan that would, given the right numbers, bring to an end all pandemic restrictions by the end of March 2022, three months before the election. 

Churches are restricted on attendance, not to a specific percentage at the current time but to "social distancing." In many cases, depending on the size and layout of the church, this is not much of an improvement over 30% or 40% occupancy.

Ford has implemented a "vaccine passport" with a QR code for restaurants, bars and the 20,000 attending Maple Leafs or Raptors games - quite the breeding ground for new cases of SARS-CoV-2 and its leaky "vaccine." With Ford's announcement yesterday, churches can have, as of October 22, full occupancy just as the Maple Leafs if they choose to - all they need to do is admit only the double-jabbed.

Yesterday, Excellency, Mr. Neil MacCarthy, the Cardinal's chief spox, issued a Memorandum stating that there is no "immediate implication" for the parishes of the Archdiocese of Toronto. Neil indicates that the plan will be "under review" and that dialogue with the medical tyrants will continue. Right. "Under review." Pardon my cynicism.

One wonders if Cardinal Collins will throw the un-jabbed under the bus and ban us from churches in an effort to have full occupancy of the jabbed to increase the collections which have plummetted.

Any bets? After all, the government pay-off is about to dry up. Their job is done.

Cardinal Collins - what say you? Are the lepers welcome?

Out of nearly 800 priests (and 2,000,000 Catholics) 45 were participating in the NotTheWassaga Priest Retreat

Out of nearly 800 priests (and 2,000,000 Catholics), 45 were participating in the NotTheWasaga Retreat. None of the others found the time or inclination to log on and listen to Cardinal Collins.

Were the unvaccinated allowed to watch?

Have a great weekend, Tom. No wonder you look so peeved.

Thomas Cardinal Collins - the beneficiary of a murdered baby and he wants you to be too.

 

Jorge Bergoglio, the Bishop or Rome has fired Swiss Guards who have greater faith than he. To Bergoglio, taking the injection to allegedly protect against the latest virus out of China is "an act of love." This from the man who has thrown the Church in China to the wolves.

Here in Toronto, Thomas Cardinal Collins continues with his "spiritual" retreat for priests, live from the Cathedral. Revealed for his foolish attempt to have it a swanky golf resort at your expense along with his Victorian retirement home and fearful that a private ZOOM conference would be leaked to this blog, Collins chose to have a low-key public presentation online and available to all.

Collins has literally demanded all his priests and staff take the jab or pay to be tested. At least, they can be tested. Word has reached this writer that in a diocese not far away, no testing is even permitted. Jab or your out, priest, secretary, contractor, choir director, volunteer. You're dirty, you're a leper, you are not welcome here.

No mercy. No dialogue. No encounter. No reaching out to the peripheries.

I point you to the blog of Jon Rappaport which I just discovered. Read if you will with shocking clarity and documented history including the background of Lex van der Eb, the monster behind the HEK293m cell line.

This, is for the "common good" according to Tom Collins, This, is "common sense" and an "act of charity." 

Tom Collins has injected into his body a serum tested or containing the stem lines of a baby girl murdered alive and carved up in Holland in 1972.

On his judgement day, Collins will see that little child in all her glory in the arms of Our Lord. I believe that the original sin on her soul was washed away with blood at her martyrdom. God knew her before He knitted her in the womb and she is there now with Him. She will be there with the Pantocrator the glorious and terrible judge and she will accuse van der Eb, Bergoglio and Collins.

This post will land in Collins's inbox this morning. May it disturb him greatly as he waxes on in the Ambo. May it disturb him enough to repent for benefitting from the death of this girl and throwing under the jackboot of the State, Catholic faithful and those of other flocks put out of their livelihoods. 

A terrible day of reckoning is coming.

Cardinal Collins and the Annual Priest Retreat is underway - but not at the Naughtywassaga!

A few weeks ago, Tom Collins announced the annual priest retreat of prayer and contemplation and golf would be held once again at the NaughtyWasaga Inn. The annual fest paid for by parishes for each priest out of your collection was cancelled in 2020 due to the Chinese Communist Party Virus. Collins stipulated that all priests attending must be double-jabbed with the fetal stem cell tainted injection which revealed itself as a not so subtle way of exposing the priests in Toronto who have defied his edict that it was in the "common good" to take the jab.

At the same time that this money of yours was going to be spent by Collins and Crew on this shindig, he was laying out plans to cause the parish secretary single mother to take $40 off their child's table every week to enrich the Bronfman family and its retail empire for the rapid CCP Virus test. On top of that, he intended to gather all these priests together in an enclosed environment all injected with a "vaccine" that clearly does not work to prevent transmission, hospitalization or death. Imagine the shuttered churches if hundreds of priests had to isolate for fourteen days! Imagine the disruption in the cathedraticum!

Livestream - St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica (stmichaelscathedral.com)

Naughtywassaga was cancelled and the meeting would be made virtual. 

You can watch it daily from the Cathedral where it is live-streamed for all to benefit from the spiritual wisdom of Thomas Collins. So crafty, eh? Nobody can challenge him in private or public on his selling out the faithful to government diktats, the closing of churches, the banning of Holy Communion on the tongue, the throwing under the bus of unemployment the lay faithful that choose to forgo the jab. What a hireling. What a coward. He has abandoned the faithful to the diktats of tyranny. He uses Bergoglio as an example - now Swiss Guards are unemployed!

People in the know have confirmed that Collins was fearful of another private zoom-type affair because they were concerned that his more private moments and facial expressions would be uploaded somewhere and presented here as we have done repeatedly.

We all remember, "I will shut you down." 

Next move, Tom?

Time to see Nuremberg II with Fauci as the first on trial!

 

Thomas Cardinal Collins: Your flock is being persecuted and you have aided and abetted their tyrants!

“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us.”                      ― St. Antony the Great

Dear Cardinal Collins:

I wrote this to you last Sunday morning. I have decided it necessary to send it to you again because you have not acted to protect your flock from tyranny and poverty; tyranny and poverty you have approved of by your silence.

This Sunday morning you will offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. May I still refer to It as such? One hardly thinks you care how "holy" it is seeing how you rush through the daily Mass online with a quick and sloppy Sign of the Cross and a "let us confess our sins" followed by a 1-second pause before, "Lord, you were sent to heal the contrite." I guess your sins are so few and the liturgy, not your greatest interest - the right worship of God, it has all just become banal and routine.

I wonder when you "confess" in that momentary second if you confess those sins crying out to heaven for vengeance. The first is your support, no matter how distant, of the wilful murder of the unborn for a "vaccine" you demand we all take. The vaccine clearly does not work as yesterday again over 30% of the "cases" in Ontario are those how are fully vaccinated. A vaccine that has maimed with myocarditis and pericarditis our young people and killed and maimed potentially, hundreds of thousands of others with dozens of conditions with tens of thousands already dead with no autopsy to confirm the causes. All this, for a virus that has between a 97% and 99.979% non-kill rate! It is simply absurd. 

The second sin is that of denying just wages. I will give you some to ponder here. Your Eminence, on this lovely Sunday morning as you prepare for Holy Mass, may it disturb your conscience.

A nurse gave her own religious exemption to her health care employer. The response was to throw in her face your web page on why Catholics should line up to take the injections for SARS-CoV-2. She has six children and will be fired in two weeks.  

The second is a friend to whom I spoke just last evening. Any time I woke overnight he was in my mind and my prayers to Our Blessed Lord were offered for his protection. When do you pray for those who are losing their jobs because you have failed in your duty?  Twenty-nine years of faithful service to his employer, he will be put on a six-week unpaid leave in two weeks and if not fully injected by December, he will be dismissed with cause, with no severance and no eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits. Can you imagine? No. You cannot. His daughters, both in healthcare, face a similar situation. The employer wrote back to him with regards to his religious exemption from a group of Toronto priests (oh yes) and threw it in his face as well, "according to the words of your Pope Francis and your Cardinal, taking the injection is "an act of love" and "for the common good." Denied!

All of these people and countless others have been betrayed by you. None of them expected one year ago that this would be their fate today because you failed to defend them, you sold them out. You sit by doing the government's bidding rather than defend and rise up the Church against this gross injustice. You have kept silent whilst the sheep are led off to slaughter and you have aided and abetted their executioners. What will you say to the LORD on your particular judgement for your abandonment? What about the food on the table for their children, their mortgages, their retirements, the elderly parents that they support? How dare you disregard these, your flock! You are an utter and absolute disgrace and my hope is that this rebuke does its job and disturbs you enough to wake you up to publicly repent and restore. You have thrown yourself in with the State and its "virtuous" Public Health Officials against the real needs of the faithful.

You have engaged in coercion with your own employees and promoted by your silence the coercion of hundreds of thousands of employees who will be sacrificed whilst you remain silent. You have violated the Nuremberg Code and the moral law. You say that you are following the Law. There is a higher Law, Your Eminence, Divine Law.

You dare release a video on synod synodality whilst your flock are in danger of losing their livelihoods, their homes, their pensions while you, looking forward to your January retirement use their cathedraticum to renovate the Newman Centre mansion for your comfort.

As Barona at Toronto Catholic Witness so wisely scolded you, you have participated in the creation of a State Church. This is your legacy. You have sold out the faithful to the State for money, power and a seat at the corrupt table. You must be a wicked man. No man of Christ would do this. You are a coward and fraud as a Shepherd. You are a hireling. You are a sociopath without conscience, ignorant to the suffering which you have caused and which you do nothing about. You are oblivious to the suffering of families whose wage-earners consciences and health concerns will not allow them to accept these injections and you do nothing to stop it. Truly, you are a wicked and evil man unfit for the high office that you hold. These people and many thousands or hundreds of thousands more of the faithful and non-believers are your legacies. You failed to defend the Faith and all from tyranny.

Tell me, Your Eminence, how many fingers high in your glass of cognac does it take for you to get to sleep at night? 

Let these words from the Blessed Apostle John be a warning to you and comfort to my friends and readers that are about to lose their livelihoods.

Amen, amen I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.  To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. But a stranger they follow not but fly from him because they know not the voice of strangers. This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them. Jesus, therefore, said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not. I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep: And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me. As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd. 

Malachi Martin on Third Secret

Cardinal Collins: How do you respond to a real scientist on the matter of the jab for your, "common good!"

Evil St Gallen Synod Begins In Rome

Thomas Cardinal Collins shuts down social-media dissent whilst people lose their livelihood for the "common good!"

 It's a little hard to read but this was sent to me by a reader. In a video excerpt from a Mass at St. Michael's Cathedral, Collins spoke about the "Synod on Synodality" and how we should "listen to one another." How ironic that His Eminence has washed clean the social media criticism on the video of his throwing the flock under the bus of coercion and poverty due to the loss of employment over the injection. Collins tells us that "synodality" is from the Greek means to have a chat on the road together, only works in so far as he wants to chat about it. 

I will post the link to this on the page. We'll see how long it is up.

You just can't make this stuff up.  

"I am happy that you think it important to listen to all in the Church, especially any that feel marginalized and alienated. Have you listened to those of your flock who are now losing their jobs as a result of not wanting to inject experimental treatments that have been tested on fetal cell lines? I am feeling marginalized and alienated here in the Archdiocese of Toronto as our pusillanimous pastors and Communist Cardinal have sided with the Government against the people of Christ. We are sliding down a slippery slope of “papers please” parishes that have instituted your mandate of double shots for volunteers, employees and priests against the directive of the CDF; “At the same time, practical reasons make evident that vaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation and that, therefore, it must be voluntary.” Do you know that people who have taken the shots can catch and spread the virus? Why restrict only a certain segment of the faithful when both vaccinated and unvaccinated pole can catch and spread Covid?"

There is clearly something in the jab that causes those who have taken it to defy logic or a psychological prohibition to admitting it lest they admit that they were wrong.

Collins is wicked. His actions are directly allowing the City of Toronto, others and corporate fascists to terminate people and even to the Town of Oakville baring the unjabbed from marriages, a fundamental right of every man and woman by their very existence.

Wicked. No other word describes Thomas Cardinal Collins.
