To Toronto Priests

 Are you going to bless sin?

Cardinals issue Dubia, again

Blogging has been slow even though the news is coming a mile a minute. Honestly, I just don't have the energy, brain power, or inclination to write about the antics of Bergoglio or his meetings on meetings filled with deviants, perverts, heretics, and malcontents. Now, we find that five Cardinals have issued a dubia. I have neither the time nor inclination to read it or write or rant on it. 

Father Z has covered it well.

New “DUBIA” Submitted to Francis about the Synodality (“walking togetherity”), same-sex blessings, ordination of women, shifting doctrine | Fr. Z's Blog (wdtprs.com)

I note that at all blogs, Father Z included, comments are down significantly. I don't write this to enlist comments but it does tell me something. People are exhausted by it all.

Do not lose your peace in all of this.

Stay close to Jesus.

On this Sunday at Mass your urgent prayers and donations are requested for our good friend, Andrew Rivera!

Dear Friends,

Andrew Rivera has been a friend of mine for many years. He has been a collaborator with me on the organization of many Masses in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite across the Greater Toronto Area. He is known to many here both in the diocesan traditional community and the Society of St. Pius X. Andrew is a single father of a five-year-old boy, pictured with him above, his wife having passed away three years ago.

Just after Easter, Andrew had a serious attack and went into a diabetic coma. The next few weeks were like an episode of House (without the cursing and such). Every time I spoke with his mother there was another issue. Infection. Kidney failure and dialysis and the usual things and indignities that accompany such a situation. The most shocking and profound was a stroke caused by clots that can happen due to inactivity. (No jab here folks, so let's leave that one alone). However, it turns out that the cause of the clots may have been a previously undetected "hole in the heart." more properly known as an atrial septal defect and is from birth. In addition to this, there is ongoing neuropathy from the stroke.

Tomorrow morning, Monday, September 18, Andrew will have PFO Closure surgery. Please remember Andrew today at Mass and in your prayers, that God will guide the surgeon's hands so that all will be well and grant a full recovery in all these things to Andrew.

Now, the recovery from this is going to add to the other maladies. It is simply not known when Andrew will be able to return to work.

Thus, I am asking you to be generous with our fundraising campaign.

Your help is most appreciated, Andrew has seen all the data from the GiveSendGo and you are all in his prayers.

God bless you.

Report: Frank Walker of Canon212 suffers a stroke!

Ann Barnhardt is reporting the following:

"Gina Walker just let us know that Frank had a stroke Thursday night. He is heavily sedated in ICU. The prognosis is for a full recovery, but it’s going to be a long road back. So, we’re all going to be without Frank’s amazing service and hard work of combing the web for every interesting link for a while."

Frank has been a good friend of this blog. His work on Canon212 has been valuable.

Let us pray that Frank has a full recovery.

God bless you, Frank.

For Andrew Rivera the need is still there!

GiveSendGo - Supporting Andrew Rivera and Son: The Leader in Freedom Fundraising.

 


Dear Friends,

First, I want to thank you for all your donations thus far for Andrew Rivera. You are very kind. May God bless you abundantly.

It is August 16 and it has now been over four months since that Easter Week incident that sent Andrew and his family into this crisis. I spoke with him yesterday and he is making great progress. I'm sorry I am not disclosing here all the medical circumstances, I am trying to respect his privacy as much as possible given the circumstances and I am sure you understand. Andrew is not yet "out of the woods." There are more tests to go because as is often the case, when a medical crisis happens and one is exposed to all of these tests and interventions, causes or sometimes new issues are discovered and that is the case. It is too early to say how it will be dealt with and while Canadian health care will cover the medical needs, there is no indication as yet, when he will be able to return to work. If further surgery is required, it will be many, many months. 

On behalf of Andrew and his family, thank you again and God bless you.

On the Viganò comments regarding the Conclave of 2013

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has recently made comments that a Cardinal present at the Conclave in 2013 which gave us the Bergoglio has made statements that the election of Bergoglio was fraudulent.

CFN INTERVIEWS VIGANÃ’: Francis, Trump, Ukraine, Child Trafficking, and More - Catholic Family News

It is entirely believable given the actions of Bergoglio and his sycophants and the machinations of Mr. McCarrick and the rest of the mafia. 

The alleged Cardinal is concerned about coming forward due to the "pontifical secret." Well, if true, he already broke it. Further, if Bergoglio is not the pope, then there is no "secret" to maintain.

If this is true, the Cardinal must speak out. He must clear the air and call on those present to do likewise.

It really is that simple. 

If not, then he can go to his grave and throw himself on God's mercy for not interventing to save the Church and the faithful for he would be a complicit coward and an accomplice to the destruction.

Ave Maria - Robert Parsons

I've sung and heard many Ave Maria's in my time as a member of the Toronto Oratory Choir, Sacred Music Society, and the award-winning Victoria Scholars. If there is a more sublime setting of the Ave Maria, I do not know it. Schubert? Bach- Gounod? They can't touch this. Victoria? Yes, comes close, but this is by far, the best!

A blessed Feast of the Assumption to all.

Most Blessed Mary, ever-virgin, intercede for this writer and his readers. Amen.

Toronto priest, Neil Pereira, 33, arrested and charged for sexual crimes against a minor!

A Toronto priest on loan to the Diocese of Peterborough, Neil Pereira, 33, has been arrested and charged with sexual crimes against a minor. Prior to leaving for campus ministry at Trent University and Sir Sandford Fleming College. Ordained in June 2020 by Thomas No Mass For You Collins, Pereira was Associate Pastor at St. Isaac Jogues in Pickering.

Peterborough priest, Father Neil Pereira, was arrested for alleged sexual assault of a minor (thepeterboroughexaminer.com)

The man must be presumed innocent. Sources familiar don't believe he did anything inappropriate. Who really knows anymore?

See how long Neil keeps this up.

Not long! Good work, Neil.

What kind of man thinks a woman receiving Holy Communion on the tongue, whilst veiled, is a sexual fetish?

 don't know who this D.J. Lafferty is. A short search reveals he is featured on web pages called, Future Church and Where Peter Is. No links to these, they can be found if you must and the fact that they feature him, reveals much about him. He allegedly is a Ph.D., though I hardly find that impressive. He states he is a Catholic.

Removing the veil, this is how I received Holy Communion last Sunday. Does that make me "gay."

Last Vatican II Father outs himself

The last living bishop at Vatican II is dead.

I'll leave it at that.



MiL - Messainlatino.it: In morte di un vescovo rosso, anzi arcobaleno

MiL - Messainlatino.it: In death of a red bishop, indeed rainbow

The funeral of Bishop Emeritus Mons. Luigi Bettazzi, who died last Sunday at the age of 99, was celebrated by his current successor Mons. Edoardo Cerrato. Born in 1923, Mons. Bettazzi was the only Italian bishop still alive to have participated in the Second Vatican Council (he was consecrated bishop in 1963, as auxiliary of Bologna, becoming then ordinary of Ivrea in 1966). 

Last Italian exponent of Vatican II and perhaps also of that "Vatican III" dreamed of by those who already in the aftermath of the assembly was not yet satisfied with the earthquake of changes that took place in a few years. To the point that, even before the council ended, 42 bishops (Bettazzi was the only Italian) gathered at the Catacombs of Domitilla to sign a pact in the name of... "Church of the poor" (a slogan that has often ended up impoverishing the Church by reducing its message to mere social accompaniment). 

In his thirty-year episcopate of Eporedi and also in the long years that followed him as emeritus, Bettazzi remembers above all the letters to Berlinguer, the battle on the fiscal objection for military spending, the pacifist marches and finally the openings – in open support of the Prodi government – on the subject of Dico and various positions that have made the elderly prelate a (red) flag. 

In the cursus honorum of Mons. Bettazzi lacks nothing, including a rather fanciful exegesis in November 2022 in which the prelate admitted to "subverting the Church's conception of abortion," hypothesizing in summary that the embryo is not automatically a person, or at least not immediately (speeches that we have recently heard echoing at higher levels.). In short, it was undoubtedly a "prophetic" voice – whereas "prophetic" usually means "left-wing priest". Prophetic was, however, actually in the famous interview of February 2012 when he spoke of the possible resignation of Benedict XVI, then actually happened a year later. Benedict died, in a new interview in January 2023 he repeated the experiment announcing the resignation of Francis (who will live, will see). And even the remote "prophecy" of the catacombs has come true, but in the sense of impoverishing above all the action of the Church of its spiritual dimension and thus depriving the poor themselves. Also thanks to the contribution of "prophetic" voices like his.

A small detail of the funeral of Mons. Luigi Bettazzi: on the coffin the book of the Gospels and... the "flag of peace" (the one with the colors of the rainbow, not to be confused with the similar but not identical LGBT flag). Better still would be to call it a "pacifist" flag, to remember that ism that marks the difference with Christian peace that does not need flags. 

A symbol inevitably marked by a political connotation, typical of a certain left-wing movement – and also raised in certain parades where there is never a lack of someone animated by excessive non-violent zeal that leads him to smash cars and shop windows. A symbol, however, made its own, especially in the early 2000s, also by a part of the Catholic world to which the cross is no longer enough and ends up being "prey to easy enthusiasms and fashionable ideologies" (quoting Battisti). 

A "divisive" symbol, we would say, towards those who do not share those "easy enthusiasms and fashionable ideologies" and yet would be part of the flock entrusted to the rainbow clergy who, opening up to the "world", end up excluding rather than including, moreover, overturning the evangelical dictate: the good ... left. 

Let us pray to the Lord of the harvest to send us shepherds, not faction-leaders.

“The penetrating kiss is when you suck and slurp with the lips" Cardinal-Elect Victor Fernadez

Front Page Magazine has done it so you and I don't have to. They've read the book.

Gutting the Catholic Church with Deep Tongue Kisses | Frontpage Mag

“The penetrating kiss is when you suck and slurp with the lips. The penetrating kiss is when you stick in your tongue. Watch out for the teeth,” Tucho writes.

“My boyfriend gets a hard mouth when he kisses me. He hasn’t yet learned how to loosen his lips. Lovely!” 

“What I like the most is the kiss of peace at Mass. That was the first kiss with the hottie I have now.” 

“I love kissing his fingertips. It gets more affectionate than anything else.” 

“I once went crazy with the pleasure I was given from being kissed on the eyes. But I didn’t say this because it’s going to leave me blind.”

This filthy piece of pond scum will now lord it over all of us in his role in whatever is left of the doctrinal coherence of the Church. 

Bergoglio is laughing at us.

He won't be laughing forever.

Actually, your mouth is full of something else

“Our mouths are full of the 'people of God', of 'walking together', of the synod of synods. But we have never been with less people, walking alone and with a synod that does not even interest the synod members, even though they are well paid.”

Francis’ Tragic-Comical Synod Verbiage – gloria.tv

Actually, given his past use of words such as "fomenters of coprophagia," a word which I had to look up, methinks his mouth is full of something else!

What is wrong with this man?

Leftist Argentine press goes after Bergoglian "Cardinal" Tucho Kiss my Face Fernadez for covering up Paedos!

From La Plata to Rome. Francis rewarded Tucho Fernandez, a cover-up of pedophiles, with a central position in the Vatican (laizquierdadiario.com)

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.

Listen to this note
Saturday, July 1st | 14:03
Eduardo Lorenzo with Tucho Fernández in the parish of Gonnet where he abused several minors

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 Inquisition created 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 milestonesthe 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 controlscensors 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 ZanchettaBergoglio'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 Service Eduardo 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 CorradiHoracio CorbachoGiuseppe SpinelliGiovanni 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 GrassiZanchettaJusto IllarazAgustín 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.

Cuadrazo

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 governor María 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.
