It has been an outright betrayal not only of the real, underground Church in China and the suffering people, but all of the lao baixing.
Francis has literally signed a deal with the devil.

It was ten years ago today. Has there been even a day of peace for Catholics? I knew nothing of Jorge Bergoglio but when he came out on the loggia, I had chills and wanted to vomit, it went on for hours. There was a reason.

As the great celebration of embracing gratitude for His Most Serene Eminence, Thomas "No Mass For You" Collins approaches, it behooves us to recycle some posts from the past.
The FSSP was invited to Toronto and promised a parish. The parish was to be Canadian Martyrs and was publicly announced on the diocesan web page. Outrage happened and the usual suspects ganged up on a weak and ineffective leader and he took back the public offer. Neil MacCarthy, his spokesman, blamed the Pastor for publishing it. I asked Neil, "Oh, and when did Father become your webmaster?" In November of that year, 2009, the H1N1 pandemic fraud began and Thomas Cardinal Collins banished Holy Communion on the tongue. The Fraternity priest did not comply, publishing in the bulletin, "At this Mass, in accord with the universal law of the Church, Holy Communion is only distributed on the tongue." I know, I was there. I was the Schola and Choir Master. In January 2010, the Fraternity met with Collins about the need for their own church. The meeting did not go well. A few weeks later the announcement was made after Mass. It was, I recall, the Second Sunday of Lent. They were gone after the next Sunday. The Fraternity issued a statement to cover for Collins. But we all know what happened. It was an early example of: "I WILL SHUT YOU DOWN."
TORONTO--Only three weeks after a Solemn High Mass was held on Candlemas assisted by transitional Deacons and Seminarians of St. Augustine's Seminary in Toronto; and less than a week after a column appeared on Rorate Caeli Blog extolling the provisioning of the Traditional Latin Mass in Ontario, it was announced today after the Mass for Quadragesima Sunday that effective next Sunday, February 28, 2009, the Toronto Apostolate of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter will come to an end.
Apostolate Chaplain, Father Howard Venette, FSSP addressed the nearly 100 congregants following the Mass advising the shocked congregation that the departure was due to "internal personnel" matters. Father Venette will be reassigned to Orlando, Florida following his 19 month stay in Toronto.
The FSSP was invited to Toronto by Archbishop Thomas Collins with the hopes of establishing a personal parish for the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. In September 2009, a public announcement was made by the Fraternity and on the Archdiocese of Toronto web page that the Canadian Martyrs parish would be the location over a six-month transitional period. Within days of this announcement and without public explanation, the situation changed and the parish plan did not materialize.
Recently, the Fraternity was advised that while a parish was not currently available, its provision would depend on the continued growth and financial viability of the community. In the last 19 months, attendance at the Sunday Mass at St. Theresa Shrine Church increased over 100% from the attendance under the former indult at the Missa Lecta to the Missa Cantata.
Upon arrival in Toronto, Father Venette was in residence at Holy Cross parish where the Mass was celebrated daily and on High Holy Days. Following the situation in September over Canadian Martyrs, Father was moved to St. Brigid's where the daily Mass schedule changed from week to week and the High Holy Day liturgies were split between St. Brigid's and St. Theresa's Parish.
According to officials from Una Voce Toronto, Archbishop Collins had indicated that he desired no less than "five" Extraordinary Form Masses throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto every Sunday.
A Solemn High Mass was being planned for St. Theresa's for March 19, the Feast of St. Joseph, Patron Saint of Canada, and has now been canceled. After the departure of Father Venette, the only daily Mass in the Extraordinary Form in the Archdiocese of Toronto will be at The Toronto Oratory Church of the Holy Family. The Oratorians continue to celebrate the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite Missa Cantata or Missa Solemnis Sundays at St. Vincent de Paul Church at 11:30AM.

Thomas Cardinal Collins is retiring as the new Archbishop of Toronto, His Excellency Francis Leo (Lay-oh) will be installed on March 25.
The Cardinal had intended to retire to the Newman Centre with outrageous renovation costs nearly bankrupting the old mansion. Rather, tens of thousands were spent at Serra House for him to retire there including reinforcing the floor for his books. Or will he? Will Archbishop Leo want Cardinal Collins at Serra House to influence the seminarians?
A water-carrying toady for the corrupt government who said that he will "shut you down" to priests who defied him on Holy Communion on the tongue. He kicked out the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter over the same matter during the H1Ni scam and betrayed them only days after giving them a parish by snatching it away. He called our public health officials who lied and manipulated and discriminated "virtuous" and he closed churches when we needed them most. He presided over the discrimination and outing and public shaming and whispers behind the backs of priests who refused the jab and he has created a list of "canceled" priests that is nothing less than disgraceful.
Please feel free to register to show your gratitude that we are rid of this remarkable journeyman of mediocrity.
Good riddance.
With those words, Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of Springfield in Illinois has created quite a stir. He quotes a Cardinal, the radical Robert McElroy calling for "radical inclusion" of the alphabet people.
"It is a demonic mystery of the human soul why so many men and women have a profound and visceral animus toward members of the L.G.B.T. communities. The church’s primary witness in the face of this bigotry must be one of embrace rather than distance or condemnation. The distinction between orientation and activity cannot be the principal focus for such a pastoral embrace because it inevitably suggests dividing the L.G.B.T. community into those who refrain from sexual activity and those who do not."
A "demonic mystery?" What did Jesus say?
“Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation. For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against his father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."
The only demonic activity is in the mind and pen of McElroy. It seems to matter no longer that whilst Jesus ate with sinners, he did not tell them all was well and to continue living in their sin. He called them out of it. Francis and McElroy and their ilk want to include everyone unless, of course, you choose to worship God as our ancestors. McElroy refuses to call them out of one of the "four sins crying out to heaven for justice" out of some actual diabolical notion that it would be "divisive."
As I wrote yesterday, it had been ten years of doctrinal destruction from Francis and those who follow up into error. It is not letting up and in fact, it is increasing. We are at a dangerous place in the Church. We must reject the errors and heresies of the McElroy's and witness to the Truth. Do not be afraid to be called a bigot by lesser men. Do not be afraid to be called rigid for holding fast to the perennial and magisterial teachings of Christ and His Church. Reject that which Francis or his minions say and do that is not in keeping with the faith and tradition. In those things, they are in schism, not you, not me.
Thank you Bishop Paprocki for your clarity and the truth.
Now more on this from Michael Matt.
Welcome to the new Bergoglian Universal Church of Man. But the Latin Mass is the problem?
“During the pre-Columbian era, human sacrifice in Maya culture was the ritual offering of nourishment to the gods. Blood was viewed as a potent source of nourishment for the Maya deities, and the sacrifice of a living creature was a powerful blood offering. By extension, the sacrifice of human life was the ultimate offering of blood to the gods, and the most important Maya rituals culminated in human sacrifice. Generally, only high-status prisoners of war were sacrificed, with lower-status captives being used for labour.” Sharer and Traxler 2006, p. 751.
Can you imagine the lies they will tell, how the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Mayan blood offering of a living creature to a false god is the same thing? Just like when they lied and said the Pack-O-Mama was really a depiction of our Blessed Mother. Liars and demons. Trust none of these churchmen. They tried to pass this off as Holy Mary greeting Elizabeth. Some, such as Voris, tried to say that the erect member was an arm, too. Sure.
Mexico bishops to ask the pope to include Mayan rites in Catholic Masses
San Cristobal de Las Casas (Mexico), 28 Feb. The Diocese of San Cristobal, in southern Mexico, will send Pope Francis a proposal to include in Catholic Masses rites of indigenous Mayans such as dance, music, and the participation of women.
This is the second proposal of these characteristics to emerge from the Catholic ecclesial community; the first on indigenous peoples came from the Republic of Zaire, in Africa.
Cardinal Felipe Arizmendi Esquivel, who coordinates the work, explained Wednesday to EFE that the proposal will be presented in April to the assembly of the Mexican Episcopal Conference (CEM) and in May it will be delivered in Rome, by the archbishop of Puebla, Victor Sanchez, president of the commission of pastoral liturgy.
These liturgical adaptations are aimed at uniting the communities "respecting their value, taking into account the culture of the original peoples," said the Bishop of San Cristóbal, Rodrigo Aguilar MartÃnez.
The religious leaders concluded this week a meeting in Chiapas, which was also attended by Monsignor Aurelio GarcÃa MacÃas, undersecretary of the dicastery for divine worship and the discipline of the sacraments of the Vatican, as well as indigenous priests and catechists.
"We are working on a meeting that is important for the diocese, the country, the Church of Mexico and the universal church in terms of liturgical adaptations," Aguilar MartÃnez said.
The Diocese of San Cristobal said it was very proud since they have taken another important leap after the translation of the Bible into four indigenous languages of the country: Tzeltal, Tzotzil, Chol and Tojolabal.
Aguilar Martinez added that even "there are already these celebrations in Tzeltal and Tzotzil."
"But they are approval of the bishop and the community, and now we want it to be an approval of Rome, of the apostolic see for the universal church," he said.
With these liturgical advances, the beneficiaries are more than 2.2 million inhabitants and, of these, between 70% and 75% are considered indigenous, according to estimates.
Tzeltal is spoken by almost half a million people in this state in southern Mexico; the Tzotzil, 350,000; the Chol, 150,000 and the Tojolabal, 50,000, according to information from the diocese of San Cristóbal de Las Casas.
Another one on the mark by Michael Matt.
Yesterday, February 20, Pope Francis received Cardinal Roche in audience. This morning the Vatican issued the minutes of the meeting translated below by Edward Pentin:
"Brazen self-confidence."
This is the man that wants to persecute faithful Catholics who desire to worship God as their ancestors.
Will Pope Francis allow this manipulation of him? After all, it is making him look bad.
Of course, the most likely answer is the most obvious.
They are in cahoots!

On Candlemas, 2015, I wrote a blog post that is the second most-read blog post with nearly 40,000 direct hits, even more than Rosicagate. It was about a priest in Seattle defaming the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the worship of the Seattle Seahawks.

Tell me again how the Latin Mass is a problem?
Oh, what is this? They made their YouTube private?
Can we dare hope that Pope Francis will realize the manipulation and soften his heart and be a shepherd and father to all the flock, including those smelly sheep on the peripheries?
Francis manipulated into promulgating Traditionis custodes, says Cardinal Müller
Members of the St. Anselm Athenaeum and others convinced the Holy Father that the Traditional Mass is "divisive" and encouraged him to restrict it until its virtual demise, Cardinal Gerhard Müller argues in his recently published book "In Good Faith."
The decision to promulgate Traditionis custodes, the motu proprio with which Francis abrogates the liberation of his predecessor's Traditional Mass reached in Summorum Pontificum, was "unexpected and for traditionalists it has been like receiving a slap in the face," says Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith, in his recent book "In Good Faith." "The prohibition to attend this form of liturgy has created chasms, has caused suffering. It would have been more useful to distinguish between the substance of the sacraments which derive from Christ through the Apostles, and are essential, and the liturgical form which exists in various rites in the Church", where there are up to 23.
Müller blames this decision on the pressure of "some professors of the San Anselmo Athenaeum, who approached the Pope and conditioned him for their own interest. Of them I know some according to whom the only legitimate liturgical form is the conciliar, all other forms should disappear, although the Council has broadened the horizons in a harmonious unity on the essential".
What Benedict wanted with Summorum Pontificum was "to facilitate the unity and progressive inclusion of traditionalists. Years later, under the current pontificate, a group of advisers of Francis went to lament maintaining that Benedict XVI with that measure had taken a false step, causing further divisions and that, to rebalance the situation, it was better to return everything to how it was before. In short, they manipulated Francis," says the Cardinal.
Pope Francis has today appointed a new Archbishop of Toronto, Bishop Frank Leo [Catholic-Hierarchy]. Archbishop Designate Leo will replace Thomas Cardinal Collins whose resignation was accepted. Archbishop Leo, 51, was only consecrated Auxiliary Bishop of Montreal in September 2022. Yes, Montreal! Given the history of the Maple Leafs and Habs, there is much one could say about this.
Bishop Frank Leo was on someone's radar but was not one for the obvious ones. Rumours have been MacGratten from Calgary, Smith from Edmonton, or Bolen from Regina and he is one of the youngest Archbishops appointed to Toronto since Michael Power. Rejoice, my fellow that it was not one of these nor our former or current Auxiliaries!
Archbishop Leo has an enormous task ahead of him. Many Toronto priests are demoralized, and many have been "canceled" by the Collins regime. Others have been "thrown under the bus" of political correctness and media mobs. The decision by Thomas "No Mass for You" Collins to throw our lot in with the government and the "virtuous public health officials" has devasted Mass attendance and parish sustainability. The hollowing out of the faith in many old neighbourhoods of Toronto will leave Bishop Leo with the dirty work of closing dozens of churches. Bishop Leo comes into a cesspool within the Chancery. He will need every grace from the Holy Spirit and the intercession of the Blessed Mother to deal with it.
The Marian logo on his miter and his crozier is a good sign rather than the wooden stick carried by Collins. His letter below is beautiful and may it indicate for us a renaissance for the Church in Toronto.
Greetings Message to the People of God in the Archdiocese of Toronto from Archbishop-designate Most Rev. Francis Leo
11 February 2023, Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Praised be Jesus Christ.
I am reaching out to you all to convey my heartfelt greetings on the occasion of my appointment by the Holy Father to serve this beloved archdiocese as its archbishop and servant leader. I am deeply humbled by Pope Francis’ confidence and am profoundly grateful to him. I am very eager to get to know you all personally. Relying on the Lord’s unwavering assistance to fulfill the mission with which I am being entrusted, I place my hope in our Heavenly Father’s bountiful mercies as He journeys with all of us along the path of the Kingdom. I am also following in the footsteps of Thomas Cardinal Collins and in continuity with the committed, strong and selfless episcopal ministry he has provided for many years and for which we owe a huge debt of gratitude.
Strikingly, it was the Annunciation scene that came to my mind and heart when the Apostolic Nuncio notified me of the appointment. I thought of the Blessed Mother, her amazement and questioning, her trust and her availability to join forces with the Holy Spirit in bringing about the Incarnation; in accepting to play her unique role in the Lord’s loving and saving plan; to be a humble instrument in the hands of our loving and saving God. Upon learning of the Holy Father’s decision to appoint me, I too was asked to utter my own personal and ecclesial Fiat – and I have done so with all my heart.
My ministry among you as a Shepherd in Christ will no doubt provide copious occasions to share our faith, to walk together in holiness, to foster ecclesial communion, and to bring Christ to others in new ways. Together with Mary, each is invited to bring the presence of Jesus to life within our manifold communities. Our profound attachment to the Lord, remaining firmly rooted in His teachings and those of His Bride the Church, will enable us to sow seeds of enduring hope and be builders of bridges for that unity the Lord desires of us.
I will open my heart and mind to listen to you, to hear from you, and I will do my best to be for you an example of Christ the Good Shepherd. I trust that the Lord Jesus will open up new horizons before us, will accompany us with his grace, and allow us to experience abundant life. To my brother bishops, to the priests and deacons, seminarians, women and men in consecrated life and lay faithful engaged in ministry in the archdiocese, I look forward to engaging in close collaboration with you as we build up the Body of Christ, working out of our diverse vocations and charisms. As we abide in His love and walk with hope and authenticity, let us be reminded that it is Christ who is our Chief Shepherd and guides us all to the fullness of truth and life.
In embracing this new “calling within the calling” and so taking up the senior leadership role in the Archdiocese of Toronto, I truly believe that I stand to learn much from you: the very People I will strive to love and to serve, to empower and to inspire, to guide and to lead. As you know, I hail from the great city of Montreal and am the son of immigrant parents. My varied experiences in parish ministry and school chaplaincy, as a seminary formator and university lecturer, my years in the Holy See’s diplomatic service, my service at the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and most recently as auxiliary bishop, vicar general and moderator of Montreal’s curia – these have been for me incredible graces beyond all telling and helped prepare me, through Divine Providence, for this new office of leadership and service in the midst of the ecclesial community. I will bring to this ministry all that I am and all that I have.
To those who are near and actively engaged in the life of our Church, as well as to those who are more distant or struggle to choose her as their “spiritual home” - know that you are in my prayers daily and I will endeavour to be a loving pastor, a devoted father, a dedicated brother and an encouraging witness for you. In the immense and beautiful diversity of this archdiocesan family made up of parish communities and religious houses, educational institutions, health care and social services, ecclesial movements and associations, women, men and children, the elderly and the young, persons living on the margins, those with means and the needy, families of all walks of life, cultures, languages and traditions, and those persons in search for meaning, hope, healing and love, whatever your situation may be – know this: the door of my heart and that of our archdiocese are open to you.
As a committed community of faith in the Risen Lord Jesus, we know, nonetheless, that we will inevitably face difficulties and trials. The key, however, is to remember that we are never alone. If we accept to come together in order to encourage and support, challenge and lift each other up, not only will we know the joy of belonging to the Lord and be pleasing to Him, we will likewise be blessed with new dynamism, heartfelt fellowship, and a sense of family in the Eucharistic faith community. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is our most treasured gift; the Kingdom we seek is one of justice and peace; the path is that of holiness and fidelity. I delight in the Spirit with you, as with one heart and one soul we will endeavour to share this gift, to seek this Kingdom and its righteousness, and to walk humbly along this path.
Please remember me in your prayers so that I may faithfully serve the Lord in and through serving you. We are God’s beloved children and with Him all things are indeed possible.
May Saint Michael the Archangel, our patron saint, defend us always and protect us everywhere.
Yours sincerely in Jesus with Mary,
+Francis Leo
Archbishop-designate of Toronto
I have refrained from any comment because Michael Voris once came to my aid. It was when Thomas J. Rosica, CSB, attempted to sue me and my family into poverty. Voris gave advice, sound advice I should add, and a vehicle to create pressure against the derelict Rosica.
However, the continuous attacks on the Society of St. Pius X have come to the point of being pathological. Whatever issues of sexual perverts or incorrect procedures are not the issue. They had no more and very many fewer than other orders. One is too many. We know that. But the continuing attack at this time, in particular, is repugnant without merit and justice.
He needs to stop.
There is a lot going on. I should have something to say. I do and I don't. I am, in prudence, restraining. It is not easy but I need to keep my own peace at this time. You know that to which I refer.
Father Zuhlsdorf has something good to say today for all of us, particularly about you seminarians out there. I know you read this blog so urge you to read his comments and take them seriously.
To the others who read this blog in the Chancery, and I know you do, will you allow the little flock, even if some of them be nasty, crabby to be put out of the house? Do these smelly sheep not deserve your attention?
To you over in Rome, yes, you read this blog too, you who blame bloggers for all the ills and profess that we know nothing about liturgy do you really think you are going to win this? You have the power, but you won't have it forever. Maybe not even for one more year. Your end is coming, it won't be pretty. Your eternity will be severe. You will have deserved it all.
Some people think that the problem is this blog and other blogs and Taylor Marshall. No, the problem is that people came awake and sensed something was wrong. They began to look and if this blog was part of that awakening, then I am humbled. It is not about lace and incense, it is about doctrine and devotion and truth and stopping what is coming, but they can't and they know it. In fact, their attack will only cause the "disease" to grow. They can't have that and they are too ideological to accept it.
Here is the reality. The community where I chant the Mass and conduct the choir has grown by 204% since June 2020 when the China Virus lockdowns ended for the first time. Yes, you read that correctly:
204%
Do you think these people are going back to what they left and just forgetting what they found?
To the Pastors that read this blog. How has your parish fared since June 2020?
