Why do the Church’s leaders persecute the most faithful Catholics?

"The reason the Church’s leaders persecute the most faithful Catholics is that, broadly speaking, the leadership of the Catholic Church on earth at this time is dominated by a network of active homosexuals and theological modernists."

The demonic hatred of Charlie Kirk in this combox

September 17. Come on, you little coward, where are you? You won’t comment on this, you won’t disclose your real name. You little incel? An unmarried, sissy man, the very antithesis of Charles Kirk.

What kind of disgusting cretin leaves a comment such as this? Never did I think the hatred of the late assassinated Charlie Kirk would enter this combox (one post below). As for the personal comments about me, they reveal a great deal about the writer. A coward and a hypocrite and a liar. You present Marxist tropes, just as those who show bloodlust over his murder. You're a disgusting cretin. Get off my blog.

Grammar and spelling errors from "Robert." 

Robert has left a new comment on your post 'God rest Charlie Kirk. God damn to Hell his murderer!':

I am sorry that you have taken this position. You only show yourself to be an angry petty llittle man who goes on the attack if/when someone takes a diffent line than you. First, my last post was not even directed at you, it was addressed to Evangeline to clarify my position. As to Kirk and right-wing ideologies, he was a racist, an anti-semite, a mysoginist, and anti immigrant. So, definitely not a hero. I will still for the repose of his soul, but moreover I will pray for those known and unkown who have been harmed by his words. Btw, say hello to the Oratorians if they are willing to let you back in to their parish.

God rest the soul of Charlie Kirk and bring his murderer(s) to Your Divine justice!

Eternal rest grant unto Charles Kirk, O LORD, 

and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. 

Blood on your hands!

Absolutely right. So does the mother. She affirmed his demonic delusion. 

Mentally ill and should have been committed. 

Enjoy Hell, you rotten piece of shit.

Toronto's Catholic Register suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome

Only 4 days after the Trump and Putin meeting in Alaska and on the very day that the European globalist Heads of State are meeting at the feet of Donald John Trump, who is demanding an end to the killing, the irrelevant Catholic Register of Toronto writes this headline.

LifeShiteNews - "trust that we are indeed doing the will of God"

LifeShiteNews has fired its co-founder, John-Henry Westen. Steve Jalsevac engineered the coup d'etat. In a now-deleted post on X, Jalsevac gives some history. 

JH certainly went off the deep end. As a Latin Mass promotor, cantor and choir director and head of an Una Voce chapter in Canada, I was happy to see his promotion of the Mass. What disturbed me about JH over the last couple of years was an almost obsessive dalliance with mystics and alleged prophets. He chased after them continuously, and for me, it was a major reason I stopped reading. That turned people off, Steve, not the Latin Mass.

What you, dear reader, don't know is that this writer was a source for many, many articles on LifeShiteNews. I did them many favours. My reward was when I called out Jalsevac for his grotesque anti-semitism and his ignoring of the events of October 7, 2023, he blocked me on the webpage, and mocked me, attacked me and made up lies, -- outright calumny in emails to a priest friend. When called out on it, he refused multiple times to apologize. He even wrote they they, LifeShitNews, were doing "God's work." Such hubris! Since when did fabrication and calumny become God's work? Blasphemous. 

Jalsevac, like many other Catholics, have given the impression that the only way to be a good Catholic is to hate Jews. It seems deeply embedded in their psyche. It is grotesque.

Unlike Steve's view, I do see this as the end of LifeShiteNews. JH had a cult-following that will now close its wallets. In this day of splintered social media and Substack articles and as a blogger, I see the change in views and comments; there is too much information and not enough people prepared to fork over funds in a tough economy. 

LifeShiteNews did good work for some time. Lately, it has reaped what it has sown, and the sacking of JH will only hasten its demise.

That is just what John-Henry may have wanted many to believe. It is completely false.

LifeSiteNews has been a close team of many talented persons who created what was an incredibly successful, international pro-life, pro-family news service. None of that could have happened without all those people and their valuable contributions to what, for the first 12 years, was a project of and within Canada’s national pro-life organization that dealt with many international developments related to the culture of death vs. the culture of life.

It was founded, funded, encouraged and guided by CLC and especially by its leader Jim Hughes who was the visionary who saw the great need for the pro-life movement to have its own international news service to counter the lies, manipulations and ignoring of many important developments within the international pro-life movement.

CLC gave us its large email list to begin the incredible growth of LifeSite. LifeSite would never have existed without CLC.

Jim Hughes assumed we would continue to grow and continue as the pro-life, pro-family news agency that it was founded to be and which CLC gave so much to from its own resources.

In recent years, John-Henry worked and insisted that we change the highly successful LifeSiteNews mission to become a dramatically different one of a traditional, Latin Mass Catholic evangelizing, religious organization to draw readers into the Catholic Church according to the teachings of the Council of Trent.

Founding board members Jim Hughes, myself and others strongly opposed this change which we believed would tremendously confuse our loyal readers and subscribers and most new people as to what LifeSiteNews really was because of the schizophrenic messaging that the new mission statement presented.

A large majority of subscribers and readers were not traditional Latin Mass Catholics or not Catholic at all, and the changed LifeSiteNews would appeal to a far narrower audience since the target audience that John-Henry insisted on preaching to were only a tiny fraction of Catholics and violated our founding purpose.

Sadly, John-Henry was able to arrange a board vote that outnumbered those who never thought they would have to vote on such a dramatic change, including other board memberss who were removed prior to the vote for poor behaviours because they were so intensely opposed to the change in what they had given so much of themselves to for a number of years.

One of those board members was wholly responsible for encouraging and paying for LifeSiteNews to incorporate in the United States and was a very generous donor and constantly active supporter in many other ways. The other removed board member was also a major donor and played a large role in our highly successful sustainers program

LifeSite will not die because it has always had a strong appeal to international pro-life Catholics/Christians amd others of goodwill and has never been dependent on any one person.

Our fears about the dangers of the dramatic mission change have proven to have been valid. Readership has plummeted, many have been dismayed by the change, LifeSite has been widely viewed as a sedavacatist website and donations have dramatically declined this past campaign.

Without major needed change LifeSiteNews cannot survive. With common sense return to the incredibly successful founding mission and a return to collaborative management, rather than top-down, one person control, it stands a very good chance of tremendous renewal for the good of all.

We will still always been based on traditional Catholic/Christian moral principles in all we do, as we always have been.

Steve Jalsevac's letter to a priest committing calumny against this writer. We had not conversations where I influenced him. We were sympatico and as for the priest, nobody tells him what to think! 

-------- Original Message --------
On 2024-11-22 11:33 p.m., Steve Jalsevac wrote:

Father,

 Please don’t force us to ban you from commenting. On many issues your comments have been good and appreciated, although you do tend at times to be overly harsh and condemning rather than providing thoughtful, helpful comments. However, on Israel you have been irrational, making totally false accusations and revealing that you have a poor knowledge about the history and actions of the Zionist state.

Several of our top journalists have been intensely researching and writing on the issue. We have learned a great deal that we were previously not aware of and have been humble enough to admit that in the face of irrefutable facts discovered. We, like most Westerners, had a false, poorly informed understanding about the history and actions of the Zionists who are NOT authentic, believing Jews although there are a good number of authentic religious Jews in Isreal who are being badly mistreated now over their objections to being forced to be conscripted into the IDF and kill Palestinians, Lebanese and Syrians in violation of their religious beliefs.

We have reported and proven that there are at least a few million Jews who are very critical and condemning of Israel and its antisemitic nature that is harmful to all Jews in the world. Those are their words, not ours. Most of what we have written has especially been based on the writings, comments, talks and even first-hand communications with Christian leaders in the Middle East and an even larger number of Jewish persons, including a substantial number of Jewish rabbis.

LifeSite has frequently quoted and shown many Jewish individuals, and quite a few Rabbis, who expressed valid reasons for their grave concerns about the alleged state of the Jews, Israel, which they consider to NOT authentically represent the Jews of the world, and which was founded by atheistic, non-religious and even Marxist Jews.

In their own writings, the Zionists reveal that they chose Palestine for their new nation, not because it was the Holy Land, but because it was the most marketable location for their non-religious project and racist-supremacist ideology. Again, we learned that from orthodox religious rabbis and Middle East Catholic and other Christian leaders. They have been telling us that and they have greatly appreciated that the truth about the Zionists is finally getting out to the world.

Your harsh, condemning comments in response to our article today by the distinguished, faithful Catholic, Hugh Owen, whom you don’t seem to know anything about, are disturbing to have come from someone who is supposed to be a faithful Catholic priest and whom we thought was a dear friend.

I am suspecting that David Domet has been negatively influencing you since we received similar hostile, off-the-wall comments from him today. David is known for having a self-defeating quick temper and angry disposition although he does have some valid reasons for demanding justice from the Church that seems to have unjustly caused him harm. We have tried to be of help to him, but he has a strange way of alienating true friends.

In his article today on LifeSite, Hugh Owen is NOT inciting “more hatred against the Jewish People” with his article and your claim related to the article that “it would be more than shameful if the biased, dangerous and irresponsible reporting against the people of Israel resulted in more bloodshed” only reveals your shocking mistrust, ignorance and unwillingness to consider all that we have worked very hard to accurately report on the Israel/Palestinian situation.

I could go on and on, but all of this has already been written and explained in our many articles.

Don’t let David Domet take you down to his frequently too bitter and emotional level. Please trust that we really do know what we are doing. We understand that our reports can be a shock to those who have never been exposed to this information before, as it has also been to us, but PLEASE trust that we are indeed doing the will of God on this. That is the only reason why we all work in this mission.

The reality is that when you condemn our reporting, you are in effect also condemning all the Christian and Jewish leaders from whom we have learned the information we have reported. That is condemning at least several million people of good heart who love and serve God or who are otherwise good, trustworthy and principled persons who have a true heart for the downtrodden suffering injustice. We would not trust them if they were not those types of persons.

Zionism is what we are writing about, not Jews and Judaism. They are not the same. The conflict in Israel is NOT as we have been told again and again by Jewish and Christian sources, a religious one of Muslims vs Jews. It is one between Zionists vs Palestinians, Christians and others in the region whose homes and lands of many generations have been stolen from them and forced to live in what are essentially open-air prisons and subjected to constant surveillance, frequent, unjust arrests, unjust killings, torture in prisons and now starvation and no food, water, power or medical care. They are living under horrific conditions.

If you open your mind and heart and read our many articles with a different, prayerful disposition, I am sure you will develop a very different response to these articles. No one in LifeSiteNews is antisemitic. We are faithful Catholics, and we realize antisemitism is a sin, but valid criticisms of the actions and ideology of the state of Isreal is NOT antisemitism. Israel itself is antisemitic – as repeatedly explained to us by orthodox religious rabbis.

Wishing you all the best,

Steve Jalsevac

I expect LifeShitNews won't survive the year.

The liars in the Vatican

 

Diana Montagna has done great work exposing what we all suspected. Bergoglio lied and promulgated punitive "law" that indicated that the majority of the bishops wanted an end to Summorum Pontificum and the suppression of the traditional Roman Rite liturgy.

Pope Leo XIV

 

Unlike 2013, I had no chills and did not feel the urge to vomit, which is a good thing because I was dining with friends at a churrasqueira. As the curtains opened, I first said, "Let's see how he's dressed." He vested as a pope should vest. He also did not say, "good evening," nor did he ask that we bless him because we cannot bless him, we have no authority over him, and he blessed us. That says a lot, as does his name. But, an American? For what it's worth, notwithstanding some of his various X reposts, it also appears that he's a registered Republican! 

He also chose a rather interesting name. It recalls strength, doctrinal clarity, as well as Catholic social teaching.

The Triduum for we and not for thee

 

On November 16, 1955, Pope Pius XII issued Maxima Redemptionis Nostrae Mysteria on the reform of Holy Week and the Triduum. Those attending the Holy Triduum according to the Pian reforms of 1955 experience an abridged liturgy. Having undertaken the music and liturgical planning for both, there is no doubt, at least in my opinion, that the structural reforms were unnecessary and represent a significant loss and disconnect. What was necessary, in my view, was a restoration of the hours so that the liturgical action coincided with that of the LORD's suffering and ancient practice and shedding the ridiculous practice of Holy Thursday in the morning and the Vigil eliminated on Holy Saturday to a morning service for the very reasons the Pope described in the above linked document. Further, the structure of society was changing, and the faithful could no longer attend these sacred services. They became the realm of clericalists.

The current Pope, Francis, granted permission for the pre-55 Holy Week to be used on an experimental basis for three years by the FSSP. The ICRSS has, for many years, conducted the services according to the older books. This experimental permission was not granted to diocesan priests. However, both of these used the prior liturgical books, but with the new hours as evidenced here:

If the FSSP and ICRSS can adapt the pre-55 liturgy to the new hours, how is it possible for others to outright refuse to follow the liturgical rubrics? How is this any different from some modernist deciding for himself in the new rite? The fact is, there is no difference!

The very idea that in 2025 a Holy Thursday Mass and procession is held after noon at 3 o'clock or Good Friday at 8 o'clock at night is a direct contradiction of Pope Pius XII and every pope that has come after. It is an insult to the liturgy and to the people who cannot attend these hours. It is completely in defiance of Pope Pius XII and the rubrical law for either the Missal of Pius XII, John XXIII or Paul VI. Interpreting liturgical rubrics of prostration meant for clerics to the people forcing people who may not be able to get down or get up to prostrate to kiss and venerate the cross, is an abomination to human dignity, weight, age, even back-braces don't matter. The blatant passing on the requirement to "name" the present Pope in the public prayers is completely and utterly reprehensible within the Roman Catholic liturgy, no matter what one may think of the actions of any current Pontiff and reveals a serious deficiency in thinking.

Sadly, clericalism and fetishism have both invaded the traditional movement.

A letter of gratitude from Andrew Rivera

Dear Vox Cantoris readers:

Two years ago today we were in Easter week of 2023. A good friend of ours and someone familiar with most of the Latin Mass communities of Toronto, both diocesan and SSPX, was struck ill. From that week, the financial appeal above was posted here. You and others have come through in two years to just under the goal of $50,000.00. Andrew has asked me to publish this letter in gracious thanksgiving for your kindness. Andrew is not asking, but I am, please click here or on the above and bring us well over $50,000.00. 

God bless you all.   

Dear friends, 

It's been two years, almost to the day since I fell into a life-threatening illness and bearing a new burden after the more significant cross of widowerhood two years previous.  Amidst all this, the support offered to our child and family is beyond human measure and continues in our lives as we claw back from the brink of the abyss: the never-ending battle! 

In the wake of my more recent hospitalisation this past autumn, the blessings in my own life are still more than I can count with so many reasons to be grateful for what I have been freely given by God and the intercession of neighbours: a spirit of Charity not outdone in generosity!  This informal group of prayer, penances, and almsgiving rallying around our family continues to amaze and humble me. Hence, the bud of a new Apostolate of Gratitude has taken root and expression in a modest Devotion flourishing within our home amidst these latter-day calamities. 

This Apostolate of Gratitude has one purpose: the giving of thanks to the Triune God, nothing more or less or besides. (1 Tim. 2:1)  The giving of Thanks, the handmaiden of Adoration and Contrition and steward of Supplication, runs contrary to our troubled modern times: a worldly spirit seeking instant and transitory satiation, ever-prowling and ravenous upon the sterile and malnourished. 

The Method of this Devotion is found in the venerable Laudate Psalms - 148, 149, 150 - as prayed by Our Lord in the Temple during His earthly life. 

The Laudate Psalms as defined here contain all that needs to be prayed for this intention, offered by the Church throughout the ages in public and private prayer.  So long as an individual has access to a Psalter or Bible of sufficiently faithful translation, with uniform copies for group prayer, the Devotion may be prayed intact without worry of any obstacle. 

The Devotion would ideally be prayed in a church or before an altar of Sacrifice, after the model of Our Lord Himself.

Promulgating the Devotion was brought to the attention of my Parish this past January 10th; upon Parish encouragement, a proposal was then drafted and sent for review to our national Deanery and has since been vetted for refinement and submission to the General Council of my Diocese for consideration and discernment of next steps to follow. 

In the meantime, I'm compelled to foster the seedling beyond submission to my Bishop and my own daily personal practice with a proposal to those who have exercised heroic Charity to my family, and possibly expanding that prayer circle: a Novena of Gratitude, wherein the Devotion would be prayed for nine days in honour of the Holy Ghost and in union with the Nine Choirs of Angels.  The Novena would start on Palm Sunday and carry us through Easter Monday, walking us through the grandest and greatest time of the Church's year and if compelled possibly beyond these exalted days to come. 

To that end a modest and minimal structure is linked, emphasizing a gentle touch at most: 

English Version (from the Douay-Rheims - Challoner Revision): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dy5jY364UbpZwGZognz_cCXdDZLd7Oe7SctXuj8jlCk/edit?usp=sharing 

Proto-Typical Edition (Clementine Vulgate): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-RKRtBaWhcOYFTblxr-mCefSiplW6PYHCbvSad5TmeU/edit?usp=sharing 

I'm really not sure where this present sharing of our Devotion will lead - I don't have clarity of vision to see if this little Devotion and Novena will "go" anywhere beyond daily practice in my own prayer life and possibly that of the one small but mighty soul under my care.  But, I am compelled to transmit this presently even if the "right" words are being drawn out of me kicking and screaming.  I welcome any advice and as always, prayers!      

Oremus pro invicem.                                                                                                               

Andrew Rivera      

Pope St. Leo, pray for us!

 

"Tis Good, Lord, to Be Here!"

1 'Tis good, Lord, to be here!

Thy glory fills the night;

Thy face and garments, like the sun,

Shine with unborrowed light.

2 'Tis good, Lord, to be here,

Thy beauty to behold,

Where Moses and Elijah stand,

Thy messengers of old.

3 Fulfiller of the past!

Promise of things to be!

We hail your body glorified,

And our redemption see.

4 Before we taste of death,

We see Thy kingdom come;

We fain would hold this vision bright,

And make this hill our home.

5 'Tis good, Lord, to be here!

Yet we may not remain;

But since Thou bid'st us leave the mount,

Come with us to the plain.

Mass attendance is down 18% in 5 years!

 As we warned, the legacy of Thomas "No Mass For You" Collins has come to fruition, and it is rotten fruit. Mass attendance is down 18%! What did he and the rest of them expect when they shut down churches five years ago this month? What did they expect when they told Catholics that Mass wasn't important enough to come to in person and that watching on television or a computer sufficed? What did they expect when they threw their lot in with globalists, communists and atheists? 

A valley of tears of their own making. 

A rotten tree cannot produce good fruit.

Mass numbers hover below pre-pandemic level | The Catholic Register

Where recent trends show Catholic Mass attendance levels in the United Kingdom and the United States have all but returned to post-pandemic levels, the Archdiocese of Toronto finds itself still with a ways to go.

The Archdiocese is witnessing approximately 18-per-cent fewer people in its parishes' pews for Mass compared to pre-pandemic years, though the faithful have slowly returned since church doors have reopened.

Statistics from the Office of Spiritual Affairs show that the recorded weekend Mass attendance in 2019 was 266,519 parishioners. As many parishes pivoted to virtual offerings following outright cancellations of Mass in 2020 when COVID shuttered the doors of churches everywhere, the number plummeted to 89,386, a decrease of more than 65 per cent.

As restrictions eased in 2021, attendance rose to 114,550 before increasing by 47.9 per cent to 169,482 in 2022. The 200,000 mark was surpassed a year later with an average of 204,713 in 2023 before climbing again to 217,780 last year.

Maribel Mayorga, director of communications for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, said information on attendance numbers would be collected diocese by diocese and that no formal reporting structure to the CCCB for national numbers exists at the moment. Still, the pattern in Toronto is shared by dioceses across Canada.

Miserere Mei, Deus

Looking back to a past Shrove Tuesday

It was Shrove Tuesday, which fell a few weeks earlier than this year in 2015, a decade ago. I was sitting with a colleague at lunch when an email came across the Blackberry: "Letter to Domet." What is this? I exclaimed. A letter from the prominent Toronto law firm of Fogler Rubinoff and a well-known solicitor within the Italian community named Nina Perfetto. I was being sued by Thomas J. Rosica, a Basilian priest and Executive Producer of Salt + Light Television, Vatican apparatchik, Francis minion and all-around annoying bully to anyone in his path. Within hours of the upload of the interview below, the internet went wild. Emails from all over the world, offers of financial support for the lawsuit, messages through third parties from Cardinals and Bishops in Rome and Europe, but not a thing from mine in Toronto. It was an explosion! Even the law firm was taken to task by readers around the world so much that the "pro-bono" lawsuit was quickly no longer. Fogler Rubinoff met its nightmare.

Tom Rosica, now suspended, shamed and taken down by his own actions as a serial plagiarist,  (first exposed by this writer) and found to have been coming out of a "gay" bathhouse in Toronto and eventually being sued by another priest for alleged "sexual assault" finally held to some form of account.

But I did it first.

Happy Anniversary, Tom!

YOUR BLOGGER VOX CANTORIS IS THREATENED WITH A LAWSUIT BY VATICAN OFFICIAL AND PAPAL ADVISER - FATHER THOMAS ROSICA, CSB

On Shrove Tuesday, February 17, 2015, I received a letter from Nina Perfetto, a Litigation Solicitor with one of Toronto's most expensive law firms, Fogler Rubinoff. The threat of a lawsuit was from Father Thomas J. Rosica, a Basilian priest, Executive Producer of Salt + Light Television, Consultor to the Pontifical Council on Social Communications, English-language Synod spokesman for the Holy See and member of various academic institutional Boards.

A few weeks later, after incredible international pressure and bad publicity, intervention by Cardinals of the Holy Catholic Church, letters, and other pressures, he dropped the lawsuit, saying, " It was never intended" and that the lawyer was working "pro-bono."
