“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
From La Plata to Rome.Francis rewarded Tucho Fernandez, a cover-up of pedophiles, with a central position in the Vatican
To confirm that his papacy is an accumulation of pure gestures, Bergoglio puts a bishop of his confidence as Prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith (the old Inquisition), the position occupied, among others, by Ratzinger before becoming pope. As archbishop of La Plata, Fernández was noted for disparaging victims and covering up for abusers.

The Italy correspondent for the conservative Argentine daily La Nación on Saturday called it a "bombshell news" and an "unexpected designation." It probably is for those who align themselves with the most reactionary, ultra-medieval and most obscurantist sectors (in short, they all are) of the Roman curia. But considering the moves made by Jorge "Francisco" Bergoglio in recent years, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
The news in question is that the Vatican has just published in its Official Gazette that the archbishop of La Plata Víctor Manuel "Tucho" Fernández was elected by the new pope "prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith", as reported in the bulletin of the so-called Holy See. Fernández would take office in September, replacing Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer.
The Dicastery is the direct successor of the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisitioncreated in 1542 by Paul III and whose legacy for humanity was to have watered part of the world with blood with its hunts for "witches", torture and humiliation of "heretics" and other bloodthirsty methods to control the wayward population with the "apostolic and Roman Catholic doctrine". Among some of its milestones, the Inquisition tried and condemned Galileo Galilei for his heretical theories.
Although modern inquisitors no longer send their executioners to extirpate satanic confessions under torture or burn women in bonfires mounted in public squares (that today is done more civilly by States and their governments) it is still the "ministry" of the Vatican that controls, censors and sanctions everything related to the "values" of official Catholicism. This includes the systematic plan to cover up thousands and thousands of rapes of children and adolescents in schools, institutes and parishes around the world.
Precisely, Tucho Fernández is a specialist, among other things, in guaranteeing this systematic cover-up while issuing communiqués and blocking homilies in which, as Bergoglio commands, the abuses committed by his cassocks employees are culpably condemned. The few who manage to break the silence of the ecclesiastical walls and jump to public opinion, of course.Very valuable task
The Official Vatican Bulletin publishes a letter that Francis sends to Tucho. There he says that he entrusts to him a "very valuable" task, such as "guarding the teaching that springs from faith to 'give a reason for our hope, but not as enemies who point and condemn.'" As if to "clarify," the pope acknowledges that the Dicastery "in other times came to use immoral methods" and that "these were times when, rather than promoting theological knowledge, possible doctrinal errors were pursued. What I expect from you is certainly something very different," he tells his handler.
Curiously, the Roman monarch makes explicit the intention of freeing the new prefect from having to take charge of "attending" to the complaints of sexual abuse that arrive in Rome. "Given that for disciplinary matters – especially related to the abuse of minors – a specific Section has recently been created with very competent professionals, I ask you as Prefect to dedicate your personal commitment more directly to the main purpose of the Dicastery, which is to 'keep the faith'", he orders.
Strictly speaking, this new "section" of which he speaks is an office dedicated to receiving the handful of "officialized" complaints against bishops, priests and nuns that dioceses around the world consider that the Vatican should "investigate" and "give sentence." But it is an office that answers directly to the Dicastery that Fernández will lead shortly. Pure story.
Moving tiles
The pope's move seems to be in line with others in recent years in which the Argentine supreme pontiff was placing in key places in the Vatican men of his confidence who, in addition, adhere to his "theology of the people" (doctrinal aspect that, appealing to populist topics, aesthetically distances itself from the most ultraconservative sectors of the Church). Aware that his health declines with the passage of time, the so-called "Peronist pope" is already planning his succession by filling St. Peter's Square with an addicted civil servant.
The most emblematic case is that of the former bishop of Oran, Salta, Gustavo Zanchetta, Bergoglio's extremely trusted man. Between December 2018, when allegations against him of two abused seminarians (the victims could have been many more) and March 2022, when he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison; the merciful pope sought to "save" Zanchetta by placing him in charge of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See.
Better known as the Vatican's "real estate," the office handles more than five thousand properties worldwide with an estimated value of $3 billion. Finally, Zanchetta had to return to Argentina to undergo the trial. Of course, today he enjoys a house arrest that is denied to any Christian for much less serious crimes.
So far it is unknown if Tucho Fernández directly abused minors, seminarians or students of the Argentine Catholic University when he was its rector. What is known is that in recent years he was responsible for covering up any stray sheep that was denounced for these crimes, doubly aggravated because they were representatives of a religious cult (with the level of vulnerability of the victim that this implies).
From left to right and top to bottom: Spinelli, Granuzzo, Corradi, Corbacho, Primati, Giménez, Di Virgilio, Marchioni, Lorenzo, Yanuzzi and Sidders
In a special report published by La Izquierda Diario last December (carried out together with Pulso Noticias), eleven of the cases reported so far in La Plata are detailed and in which, in various ways, "Tucho" played a clear role of covering up his priests. A cover-up that goes hand in hand with dehumanization and contempt for victims and survivors.
The cases are those of the former chaplain general of the Buenos Aires Penitentiary ServiceEduardo Lorenzo (committed suicide in December 2019 in a Caritas headquarters minutes after being arrested), the creator of the Miles Christi congregation Roberto Yanuzzi (the only one excommunicated by the pope, although for his doctrinal differences and not for his abuses), Héctor Giménez (denounced but unpunished), Rubén Marchioni (publicly denounced but not judicially), Maximiliano Di Virgilio (the family of his victim withdrew a criminal complaint), the former chaplain of the Gendarmerie in Misiones Raúl Sidders (with an absurd house arrest and close to an oral trial) and five former capos of the Provolo Institute of La Plata (Nicola Corradi, Horacio Corbacho, Giuseppe Spinelli, Giovanni Granuzzo and Eliseo Primati).
Along with Fernández, in almost all these cases the auxiliary bishop of La Plata, Alberto Bochatey, a servant formed by the ultra-reactionary Héctor Aguer, predecessor of "Tucho", played a central role in the cover-up plans. Although there are no known allegations about him and despite the "enmity" between Bergoglio and Aguer, in 2017 the pope appointed Bochatey "apostolic commissioner" to investigate allegations of sexual abuse at the headquarters of the Provolo Institute in Mendoza. Obviously he did not investigate anything and much less collaborated in the judicial case that ended up condemning Corradi and Corbacho to almost fifty years in prison.
Alberto Bochatey
"Tucho" and Bochatey, among other aberrations, organized the "homage mass" (and body present) to the suicide Lorenzo in the same parish of Gonnet in which the priest, for years, abused teenagers whom he corrupted and extorted to satisfy his desires for oppression.
Nothing less could be expected from the pope himself. In addition to having been an accomplice of several crimes of the last civic-military-ecclesiastical dictatorship (when he already had a high position in the Argentine Curia), in his country he has spent years protecting criminals of the stature of Julio Grassi, Zanchetta, Justo Illaraz, Agustín Rosa Torino and dozens of priests and bishops with canonical investigations that only gave impunity. With the exception of the mafioso Yanuzzi, not even the few priests convicted criminally were expelled from the Church.
Another characteristic of Víctor Fernández is his vocation to "mediate" in social conflicts, when they threaten the political power of the day. For example, in 2018 he came to the aid of the then governorMaría Eugenia Vidal when hundreds of workers left from the entrances of the Río Santiago de Ensenada Shipyard to occupy the headquarters of the Ministry of Economy in La Plata in repudiation of the adjustment and delivery plans of the company by the management of Cambiemos. To this end, the archbishop devised a demobilizing maneuver together with part of the union leadership of the region that endorsed (by action or omission) Vidal's plans.
Now, after five years "cleaning" (based on liturgical cosmetics and silences bought at a good price) the archdiocese of La Plata of the ultraconservative remnants that Aguer had left, "Tucho" has to transfer part of his experience to the Vatican.
Of course, to occupy a position that intellectuals such as Joseph Ratzinger once held, Fernández does not lack a curriculum. He will become prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith after having been dean of the Faculty of Theology of Buenos Aires, president of the Argentine Society of Theology and of the Commission of Faith and Culture of the Argentine Episcopate. And before assuming the Archbishopric of La Plata, he was rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. What is said is a true picture for all the needs and urgencies that the Vatican has in its particular Bergoglian stage.
While the Bishop of Rome is the Head of State of the Vatican City State, the perverted William Jefferson Clinton is a private citizen and no longer a Head of State. There was no obligation for Bergoglio to meet him. So, was he bringing him into the Church? Preaching him of the salvation of Jesus Christ through the Catholic Church? They exchanged gifts, so this was clearly set up.
Who do we have here? Why, it's Alexander Soros. When that self-hating Jew, globalist Marxist George Soros is dead and dust we will have his progeny to tell us all what to do and to run our politicians.
The
kiss me with your mouth Argentine theologian Archbishop Víctor Manuel Fernández
is the new prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The Pope is unwell.
Not much more can be said about this travesty.
Keep your mind and heart on Jesus. The rest is a clown show.
“The
pope goes slow because he wants to be sure that the changes have a deep
impact. The slow pace is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the changes.
He knows there are those hoping that the next pope will turn everything back
around. If you go slowly it’s more difficult to turn things back. . . You have
to realize that he is aiming at reform that is irreversible. If one day he
should intuit that he’s running out of time and doesn’t have enough time to do
what the Spirit is asking him, you can be sure he will speed up.” –Tucho
Fernandez
And thus, Bergoglio's time is very, very short and this filthy degenerate will be around after him.
Two years ago with the attack on the Church in Canada due to the reports of alleged graves of children in residential schools, a much-respected pastor at Merciful Redeemer parish in Mississauga spoke out and made the statement that not all things in the residential schools were bad, some good came from them. CITY 24, always an amateur and bombastically Marxist media outlet in Toronto, and others crucified the good monsignor. CITY and CBC are continuing their anti-Catholic hate. For the record, the Indigenous residential schools in Canada were Canadian government policy that, like the lockdown of Mass, the Church mistakenly went along with in exchange for mammon. The pastor was forced to leave the parish, he and it had been threatened with violence, and Thomas "No Mass For You" Collins and his sidekick, Neil MacCarthy threw the Monsignor under the media bus whilst pinching incense to Ba'al rather than defend him and the truth. Some good, maybe much good came out of the residential schools in spite of the policy of the Government of Canada.
Throwing Toronto priests under the media bus is not new for Neil and the gang of apparatchiks in the chancery. It happened a few years earlier when a Toronto archdiocesan priest at St. Leo the Great in Brooklin, Ontario, northeast of Oshawa, had the nerve to mention certain sins to school children using the fairly typical "examination of conscience" pamphlet with which most of us are familiar not dissimilar to that found at this link. The actions of the communications bureaucrats at the chancery office were deplorable, literally condemning the priest to the media because some TwitYourInstaFace Karens ran to the CBC that Father was talking about sin to children.
These same officials told priests a few years earlier not to discuss the issue of gay-straight alliances in Catholic schools; that they were "handling it." I was told by more than one priest that they were ordered by Neil MacCarthy not to preach on it from the pulpit. Imagine that, a communication director-- a layman ordering priests. Oh, Tom and Neil handled it all right. Badly. They trusted a government headed by a lesbian Premier who threw her cuck husband into the basement so she could bring her new babe into the family home. Good move.
Now to the latest.
At St. Gertrude's parish in Oshawa, east of Toronto, the pastor allowed the distribution of a flyer condemning the attack on families and children by the Marxist alphabet mob. The mob has taken over the movement so far beyond the rights of same-sex attracted people to not be harassed or discriminated against that even many of them are questioning it.
Is it any wonder the chancery spokesman, Neil MacCarthy, is the butt of jokes and held in such disdain by the diocesan priests and so few of them trust the bishops?
“While the insert in question was not created
by the parish, the pastor had allowed for it to be distributed. We have reached
out to the pastor and he highly regrets permitting this to be circulated and is
preparing to apologize unequivocally to the congregation at all Masses on
Sunday. Please know that the Archdiocese was not made aware of this material in
advance, had not given permission for it to be created, printed or distributed
as it is clearly unacceptable and offensive and has no place in the church
bulletin or elsewhere for that matter.”
The Archdiocesan officials and presumably Archbishop Francis Leo, as in the case above, threw the pastor under the bus loaded with anti-Catholic bigots and forced the Pastor to grovel as the chaceryrats held his feet to the fire.
“I recognize that much of the content was
inappropriate and offensive and caused hurt and distress starting in our own
parish family and reverberating out into the wider community. I should not have
allowed it to have been circulated. I sincerely apologize for my actions.”
It's reasonable to question the prudence of the pastor in allowing an outside flyer to be distributed at the church. I've seen the flyer and it will not be posted here. It reveals private contact information. While one can sympathize with the writer, they did Father no favour. This is not how you fight back, illogical rants are not the way. One lowers themselves to the level of the cultural Marxists and becomes the antagonist themselves. The literal online hatred and bile being spewed at the Church should have been foreseen. No priest needs this, no parish. That being said, it is disgraceful that he was hung out to dry, publicly by the Chancery proving that pastors are nothing more than branch managers. A few weeks ago, St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto and others promoted a talk by Thomas Rosica using the alphabet moniker? How prudent was that? Lowering people to an alphabet label is not Catholic!
Rather than wade into the public debate on the legitimate fears of most Catholics and particularly, parents about their children and the attack on their faith and morals, a teaching moment was wasted as the new Archbishop is seen as just another weak and ineffective shepherd refusing to be a defender of faith and culture.
The question we all have is this; Does the new Archbishop, Francis Leo, sanction this public flogging of his priests or is this just another case of the chanceryrats pushing back on him and letting him know who the real boss is.
Well Archbishop Leo, what say you?
Did you approve of this?
Was this Neil acting on his own once again?
Do you wonder, Your Grace, why you can finish the sentences at the Tuesday priest visits?
Douglas Crosby, OMI, was appointed Bishop of Hamilton in the Metropolitan See of Toronto in 2010. Over 35 years ago, he was pastor of St. Joseph's Ottawa on the campus of the University of Ottawa. The parish has long been a hot-bed of liberal dissent against the Faith. It was from this parish that the outrage was led to remove the fledgling Oratory of St. Philip Neri at St. Brigid's. A demonic scandal for the faithful. I know, I was there.
Not long after he arrived in Hamilton he brought two OMI priests in from Labrador where he had been bishop. They were appointed as "co-pastors" of St. Lawrence and St. Patrick in Hamilton. This is what they were in Labrador. Contacts in Labrador at the time provided some information on what to expect.
Is it not bad enough that we have the assault from corporations and media and governments. Here it is from our own priests. Jarek Pachocki has made it clear what he is and what he thinks of us.
He will tremble in fear one day before the LORD whom he was to serve.
It's not the first time that Pope Francis took a phone call during a general audience in a display of rudeness, narcissism, and personalism. I mean, what could be so important? Well, James Martin, of course. Must have been more plotting on the sodomic church of Bergoglio Well, if the man has any self-awareness, let this be a lesson for him not to be so rude to his guests. But I doubt it.
"Unlike
everyone else who witnessed the Holy Father taking a phone call in the middle
of a General Audience in St. Peter’s Square the other day, I was not the least
bit surprised. And why should I be, since I was the one who made the call?
No
sooner had I dialed the number than I was put immediately through to the pope,
who seemed quite delighted to hear from me. For about five seconds, that is, no
doubt thinking I was the Reverend James Martin, whom I had instructed the
switchboard operator at the Vatican to inform the pope was on the other line.
And
until things fell apart, which happened fairly quickly, I was hoping for a
productive exchange. Once he realized he’d been snookered, however, he abruptly
hung up, leaving me to imagine the number of heads likely to roll on the floor
of the Vatican switchboard."
I wonder what happened to the switchboard operator?
Every once in a while, I blow it. I have been corrected and offer apologies to anyone who read this article or came to it before I corrected it.
This screen shot from the archdiocesan web page was sent to me late last night. The sender did not notice and nor did I that this was form last year, 2022. The Chancery staff responsible for Communications removed this year's advertisement by Manresa and this old one.
I thank Neil MacCarthy for bringing clarity to this and the error to my attention and I apologize for the error.
It is too bad that Thomas Collins saw no issue with this but that is history.
The Archdiocese of Toronto has a Courage Apostolate which is below.
Thank you for your understanding. I had not yet had my covefe.
As noted below, I was sent the notice of this as it appeared then at archtoronto.org. After contacting Neil MacCarthy, Director of Communications, seeing the problem, had it removed and I confirmed it. He did the right thing. Alas, it appears it was not stopped from going to parishes and being printed in bulletins. Well, Neil? What do you have to say for yourself and the deception? Was I duped? Were you? Was ++Francis Leo? Or, all you all culpable and at least we know where we stand?
Not a good start!
Reports from readers that it has appeared in numerous church bulletins including that of the former Chaplain for the Extraordinary Form Mass.
Readers in Toronto, send links of the parishes where it has been published.
The bulletin for this Sunday in Toronto's St. Michael's Cathedral features a post promoting the Rosica lecture to take place at the Jesuit Manresa retreat centre. In itself, there is nothing wrong with a session for parents of those suffering from same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria. The point is, the labelling by using the alphabet moniker. The Church does not label people by their sin. People have dignity as men and women, there are no others. This is the point of the post below.
Last week, a Toronto priest sent me a notice of this, it was on his diocesan update and a web page at archtoronto.org. Seeing it, I wrote to Archdiocesan Director of Public Relations Neil MacCarthy and questioned whether this was the new breeze of Archbishop Francis Leo or a "chancery rat." Neil confirmed it was a "rat" and that Archbishop Leo was not aware and the post was removed. Now, we find that in Archbishop Leo's own Cathedral's bulletin, the alphabet mafia has won.
As I wrote to Neil, is it not bad enough for Catholics on a daily basis to be assaulted by this demonic symbol, be it the alphabet labels ever expanding or the abominable abuse of God's rainbow? Can we not even find peace away from it in the Temple of God?
Is this in the bulletin because a secretary chose to do it?
Was it the Rector's decision?
If not, does the Rector know, does he proof read the bulletin?
Does Archbishop Leo know? Did he sanction it?
The Vigil Novus Ordo Mass for Ascension Thursday transferred to Sunday on Saturday night is in just over an hour. Will they pull the bulletin?
As for Tom Rosica, if the litigious bully and serial plagiarist wishes to leave the bedpans of Presentation House he can be assured this blogger will be writing.
If Archbishop Francis Leo was not aware of this and did not approve, then he knows even more now where he must act quickly to assert his authority. If he did approve or does not act, then we know a little bit more of our new Shepherd and what it means.
The "rehabilitation" of the litigious slap-suit ecclesial bully (full disclosure, against this blogger.) and serial plagiarist Thomas J. Rosica continues. In Advent 2021, he delivered a reflection at a church in Toronto and later in the Diocese of Hamilton. One talk is upcoming in the Diocese of Peterborough. The Jesuits of Canada intended to have Rosica host an online conference, "Discerning and Re-Imagining the Church." After this blog wrote it up and passed and this writer registered to attend as well as some other publicity, it was mysteriously canceled.
It was this blogger who first provided the information that Rosica was a plagiarist. Following the global outing of the disgraced plagiarist, Rosica spent time at Southdown Institute and later was sent by his Basilian order to chaplaincy work at Presentation House in Toronto, a retirement home for aged religious. Plagiarism is theft.
The Jesuits continue in aiding Rosica's rehabilitation with this seminar at their retreat centre in Pickering, just east of Toronto.
There has been much written that the Church and Christians should not refer to those suffering from same-sex attraction by this secular label. "God made them male and female," and He stated it was "an abomination" for those of the same sex to "lay together." St. Paul was emphatic on this.
Some parishes in Toronto, specifically St. Clare of Assist in Woodbridge under Monsignor John Borean, have promoted this in their bulletins.
Father Rosica needs to look after those under his spiritual care.at Presentation House. That does not include the Catholic laity.
