HOLY INNOCENTS
Martyrs
WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF CHRISTMAS
DOUBLE, SECOND CLASS / PURPLE
There is mixed joy and sorrow in the feast of the innocent victims of the first persecution. The Church rejoices at the spiritual victory of the young witnesses to Christ. The purple vestments of the Mass denote the Church's common grief with the mothers of Bethlehem, who saw their babies massacred by the jealousy of Herod.
INTROIT Ps. 8:3 Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, O God, You have fashioned praise because of Your enemies. Ps. 8:2. O Lord, our Lord, how glorious is Your name over all the earth! V. Glory be . . .
COLLECT
O God, the martyred innocents bore witness to You this day not by words but by laying down their lives. Destroy in us the evil of sin, so that our lives may bear witness to our faith in You, which we profess in words. Through Our Lord . . .
Commemoration of the SUNDAY AFTER CHRISTMAS
O Almighty and Eternal God, direct our actions according to Your holy will, so that, in the name of Your beloved Son, we may lead lives that are marked by good deeds; who lives and rules with You . . .
EPISTLE Apoc. 14:1-5
In those days, I beheld: and lo a Lamb stood upon mount
Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name
of his Father written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as
the noise of many waters and as the voice of great thunder. And the voice which
I heard was as the voice of harpers, harping on their harps. And they sung as
it were a new canticle, before the throne and before the four living creatures
and the ancients: and no man could say the canticle, but those hundred
forty-four thousand who were purchased from the earth. These are they who were
not defiled with women: for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb
whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, the first fruits to
God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth there was found no lie: for they are
without spot before the throne of God.
GRADUAL Ps. 123:7-8 Our soul has been rescued as a bird from the snare of the hunters.
V. The snare has been broken and we are free. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
TRACT Ps. 78:3, 10
They have poured out the blood of the saints like water
around Jerusalem. V. And there was no one to bury them.
V. Avenge, O Lord, the blood of Your saints which has been shed upon the earth.
GOSPEL Matt. 2:13-18
At that time, an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to
Joseph, saying: "Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into
Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that
Herod will seek the child to destroy him." Who arose, and took the child
and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the
death of Herod: That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet,
saying: "Out of Egypt have I called my son."
Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men,
was exceeding angry: and sending killed all the men children that were in
Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: "A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."

A Merry Christmas rant and wish
This has been quite the year and this Christmas letter is going to be a rant, so be ready.
My last Christmas activities were greatly curtailed or wiped out completely, including much of the singing and many Masses because of an illness that was no doubt in my mind, the China Virus. It began on or around the 19th of December, on the 23rd I had great trouble with my lungs and was put on azithromycin. On the 24th a fever of 102 which ranged for six days no lower than 100 kept me home from Midnight Mass. The breathing only slightly improved over the week but by the 31st I was in hospital with pericarditis and myocarditis brought on, according to the cardiologist by a "virus which you may have or had, we don't know, we can't find or identify it. A virus which migrated from your lungs to attack your heart." Don't believe our lying politicians and scientists. The China Virus was in Canada in at least November as it was in the United States and Europe. Probably earlier in Italy and certainly in Wuhan itself. The system came crashing down there in early December, remember the doctor who later passed on that was arrested? For that to happen in Wuhan, it must have been building for months, maybe as early as September. The blood test from the ABC Study which I was part of was inconclusive, "unlikely." Then again, the sample was taken in late July 2020, seven months after the infection. They will test again. The consensus seems to be that antibodies last three months. That is very revealing as to how efficacious the vaccine may or may not be. If it was not then the China Virus then I don't know what it could have been. What I can tell you that it was not a cold, not a flu, not bronchitis, not pneumonia. It was all that and more.
Here we are a year later. In Toronto and many of the surrounding regions, Mass is verboten and will be until at least the end of January in most of Ontario, except for the Diocese of St. Catharines. Not by the Premier and his ridiculous limit of ten but by our Cardinal who one upped him and made it zero. No Mass for you and Merry Christmas from Cowardinal Thomas "The Grinch" Collins. It seems that all we have left is mocking. They listen not to the little people. They answer no emails, no letters, no calls. They care not about you but you can be assured, they want your money. They discussed in their various webinars pre-authorized chequing and on line donations. All the churches have point of purchase devices. They want your money but won't provide you the Mass and Sacraments.
No one is coming to save us well no one except our Lord Jesus Christ, certainly nobody in this world, this archdiocese. We have been abandoned by all of them. They are corrupt, compromised, cowardly and in many cases incompetent.
Cardinal Collins should have been in court over church closings in March, a time when most of us accepted certain restrictions because we did not know what we were dealing with. I regret accepting it so readily. A judge would laugh him out of court now. "Where have you been, Eminence? You come to my court now but you accepted it for nine months and you took the government money to stay solvent. Don't waste my time."
These episcopal hirelings are wicked. I have seen much over the last dozen years or so and kept quiet about most of it. Shall we consider the invitation to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter come to Toronto and the fake promises, granting of a parish - Canadian Martyrs and then the stripping of it away a few days later? How about punishing them because they are called to a higher authority and refused his H1N1 edict to band Holy Communion on the tongue. Did he banish them or were they so disgusted they gave up the next Lent and left? I know the truth, I was the Schola Master and they will never be back in Toronto.
How about the personal betrayal when I was unjustly threatened by Thomas J. Rosica in a well publicized lawsuit? Do you think my Archbishop reached out to me in any way? Not once. Not directly, not indirectly. Collins would have been happy to see me twist on a vine. Yet, a bishop in an obscure part of a former Soviet satellite reached out to me and my wife directly and personally. Offered holy Mass numerous times A then Vatican Cardinal made it known that he was praying for us. Where was my bishop?
How about direct knowledge after complaints of active homosexual priests being left in the parish. You know the saying? "Keep it legal, keep it quiet, keep it going." The rule out of Southdown and the general order in Toronto is "keep it within the presbyterate." Like that? How about the forced early retirement and persecutions of various priests. One happening right now. Not abusers. Not embezzlers but not compromisers with the lavender crowd and the diktats of lesser men. How about his time as Rector of St. Peter's Seminary when student seminarians went to him with complaints over homosexual professors making passes at them and his response was, "you have sex on the brain." Don't think it happened? I have first hand testimony.
Now here we are at the end of 2020 with just over one year to go until Collins turns 75 and is replaced. Quite the legacy he leaves us.
And what of Premier Doug Ford? A man who on one hand one could have a beer with and on the other rules his caucus with an iron fist and has intimidated every one there into silence by removing any and all opposition from within. As David Warren wrote yesterday, he is a "simpleton." Indeed, a simpleton. He said in March he was putting an "iron ring" around our seniors. Ha! More like rusty chicken wire. The overwhelming majority of China Virus cases and deaths are in long-term care and other congregant living situations and amongst the working poor that cannot work from a computer, do not have a job from which they can work at home. Testing is still taking four days. This is preposterous. He has failed to protect our seniors, he has not quarantined the vulnerable and their caregivers. Personal health support workers still travel between homes and are still functioning in the community. All these should be in our empty hotels on school buses to the nursing homes and then rotated on a cycle. Tested daily. The working poor who have no sick days, no union and cannot, not work and won't go for testing because they can't not work, must be tested with immediate results, ordered into quarantine with full pay from the employer subsidized by the government. with direct help from our churches - where is the Cardinal on this where with the preferential option for the poor? He speaks of "collateral damage" - it is all around us, what has he done? What has Ford done about it? Where is the action for these people to protect them and our communities? Nothing. No thinking outside the box. Just shut down the dress shop on Main Street but let Walmart sell its China made garbage. Let Home Depot sell a refrigerator or stove but not The Hudson's Bay or Leon's. Let Costco sell a big screen television but not Bad Boy. My American readers understand this, the same is happening there.
Protect the vulnerable, the working poor and let us go to Mass and get on with life. Wear a mask where necessary, (no mask comments will be approved so don't make them, got it?) take your Vitamin D, wash your hands, be reasonable with how close you are to others. These things make sense this time of year whether for cold, flu or the China Virus.
From Bergoglio to Collins to Ford, Fauci, Tam, - all of them are in the pockets of globalists who are trying to destroy our middle class, our wealth, our power. We must speak truth to this power with no apologies. Forget being polite or as Cowardinal Collins likes to say, "charity with clarity." Enough of this false charity. Enough of these frauds.
Now, here I am a second Christmas and all its trimmings wiped out due to this virus that came to us from the communist regime in China. Created in a laboratory, accidentally or intentionally released but certainly intentionally used to destroy our societies. We are to believe that yesterday, Canada had 6,845 cases but China had 18? China with 1.4 billion people and Canada with 38 million covid stats world - Bing. If we believe China has only 18 cases, well, we deserve what we get.
As I wrap up this little rant remember this. Jorge Bergoglio has not offered the Holy Sacrifice on the high altar at St. Peter's since he enthroned that "damned bowl" representative of the demonic pagan earth goddess. All of this that has beset us has come since the worship in the garden and in the basilica of pagan idols. God has been blasphemed. We saw it ourselves. He no longer considers himself the Vicar of Christ and he has spent the last year throwing himself fully into the arms of Sachs and the rest of these globalist monsters. Do not think that all of this is not linked? There are no coincidences.
My friends, I thank you for your time coming to this blog. I thank you for tolerating my sometimes over the top commentary, it is all I have, all we have at this point. Unless there is something urgent, the next few days I will only post some of my favourite music. I've had enough and need a break. My wife says, I had enough three weeks ago.
There is no one coming to save us. No one except the baby born in Bethlehem, laid in a manger, as were baby lambs to protect them, a manger from which they would eat and from which we are fed.
God grant you a holy Christmas.

BISHOP BERGIE OF ST. CATHARINES DOES NOT BAN MASS - CARDINAL COLLINS AND THE REST OF ONTARIO BISHOPS - DO THE SAME NOW AND OPEN OUR CHURCHES!
UPDATE:
To show appreciation for Bishop Bergie not shutting down the Holy Mass nor banning Holy Communion on the tongue, please consider making a donation to the Diocese of St. Catharines. Feel free to advise the following of your donation by sending them a receipt and advising them that since there is no Mass for you, there is no money for them. After all, they are getting millions in government funding now and "he who the piper pays dances to the pipers tune.

Bishop Gerard Bergie of the Diocese of St. Catharines has tonight issued a protocol to all priests regarding the Ontario Provincial Government of Doug Ford's actions to lock down the Diocese and all of Ontario due to the China Virus and beginning on December 26.
Others except for Bishop Bergie who has left it to the Pastor to decide and how to open safely for ten people (including the priest, cantor or server, etcetera) and proceed with Mass following all other government diktats. Cardinal Sarah of the Congregation of Divine Worship has already authorized priests to offer up to four Masses per day during this crisis.
Since late November, this writer has been on a daily basis has put public pressure on Cardinal Collins to rescind his ridiculous decision to cancel public Mass. Now, Bishop Bergie has shown the way. If Cardinal Collins will not follow the pleading of this poor sinner, if he will not hear the sorrow of your own heart and longing to be at Mass no matter how hard, then let him at least follow the example of his brother Bishop.
CARDINAL THOMAS COLLINS - WE, THE FLOCK OF TORONTO HAVE HAD ENOUGH. IMMEDIATELY ANNOUNCE THAT YOU WILL FOLLOW BISHOP BERGIE'S EXAMPLE. RESTORE THE MASS FOR PUBLIC WORSHIP NOW, FOR CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY AND AFTERWARDS. ENOUGH OF THIS PROTESTANT STYLE COMMUNION SERVICE!
Doug Ford steps back from the brink of the abyss - barely! But Cardinal Collins will still say, "No Mass For You!"
Doug Ford looked into the abyss and stepped back from the brink. His original intention was to put Ontario in another China Virus lockdown on Christmas Eve at 12:01 A.M. now delayed until St. Stephen's Day on December 26th. Answering a question from the media to explain why not the original which proved the leak correct as he did not deny it, Ford stated that business needed a few more days to prepare and to reduce inventory and food in restaurants. Really? One day would have done this? No, not the reason. The reason is that most of the province outside of Toronto, Peel, Hamilton and Windsor are not in a serious outbreak, in Ottawa with a million people, only a handful of cases. One hand! He had blowback. Not that he reads this writer, though I do send these to him, his Minister of Health, my local Member of the Provincial Parliament and staff contacts, he heard it clear from the areas beyond greater Toronto. The Mayor of Ottawa railed at him. Remember, he would have, in the bulk of Ontario, shut down Holy Mass and Christian religious services completely (or maybe not so, more on this later) as well as business. From Ottawa and east, Pembroke, Kingston and the north shore of Lake Ontario east of Toronto, much of south western Ontario except for Windsor and the edge of Lake Huron to Barrie, Sudbury, Parry Sound, North Bay, Sault Ste. Maria and more, no religious services of any kind and more. Why? These are ridings held by the Progressive Conservative Party and his base. He got the message and backed down proving he is not consulting with his caucus, the representatives of the people but to unelected bureaucrats and doctor experts who only say what "they put in front of (them)."
So, shall we praise Caesar? No, not at all. He is wrong on the lockdowns for multiple reasons and he has failed to do those things which would have addressed the real problems which I will give in an upcoming post. Yet for now, as distasteful as it is, as much as I am angry at Ford, I must admit that I know what Brian Lilley knows. The alternatives are about as bad as you can imagine. A radical socialist party known as the NDP, a corrupt and devastated moderately less socialist Liberal party and a socialist radical Green. We are in a vice with four jaws squeezing us - bad, worse, worser and worst.
So, let us be thankful that we have Doug Ford and not one of the others or we'd all be under a curfew. The media was lapping that idea up yesterday. Let's work to bring him back from the edge. The thing is, he is a likeable guy, its one of the reasons he won. He's the guy you'd like to have over for a beer. His problem is that because of that, he is no intellectual and he is being duped. He likes to portray himself as an ordinary guy and while he is wealthy in his own right (or his father's) he is pretty much that. But he has been compromised and possibly blackmailed or he is just not smart enough to consult others and to think this through. He is afraid of people dying from China Virus but not the deaths from the consequences of lockdowns. But then, which of our political leaders anywhere has not been? They've all signed on for this, even conservatives, which is really distressing. They drank the Kool-Aid long ago, many of them are compromised and potentially blackmailed by those who are seeking a massive push to eliminate the nation-state and impose a new world order of fascism.
To a tee, I can't think of many who have done it right. Maybe Taiwan, Maybe those in South Korea. But these are different societies, different cultures. Europe is a disaster especially England, France and Italy. In the provinces and states of Canada and the United States, there is a variant but my American friends, we have done much better on this than you there and you have respected freedoms more than we. This is perhaps because we are more pliant, we didn't en masse reject masks, we didn't have an election and its rallies and we didn't destroy our cities with riots. We are also thankful we did not have the monster Cuomo who deliberately murdered seniors due to his policies. Ford didn't do it deliberately only through ineptitude, at least we can say that.
One more thing because we cannot, not mention and that is Cardinal Collins and the Ontario bishops. As noted directly below, Doug Ford has not banned religious services. He has reduced province wide to ten for the set time period. Every bishop, I expect, will now shut down whatever Masses are left after Christmas Day. Wrong. As hard as it to organise, proceed with the ten, effectively eight with the priest and server. Carry on. Suspend Holy Communion except by appointment, music only at one Sunday Mass, limit homily to five minutes and command every priest to offer five Masses daily. But they won't. There will be No Mass For You. As for going to court, it really is too late. Cardinal Collins and all the Bishops of Ontario have failed us. The time to go to court was in March. As reported a few days ago, Cardinal Collins asked the Premier to relent on the ten and return to the thirty-percent occupancy in grey zones. The Premier responded in the negative.
Too little, too late, Your Eminence. Mediocrity in every way will be your legacy.

Ford has not banned religious services but there will still be No Mass for you!
In his announcement today putting the people of Ontario into a lockdown situation beginning at 12:01 A.M. December 26, 2020, Premier Doug Ford has not shut down religious services.
But you know our bishops will.

ONTARIO POLITBURO GENERAL SECRETARY FORD FEELS THE HEAT, SHUTDOWN NOW AT MIDNIGHT ON ST. STEPHEN'S DAY, NOT CHRISTMAS EVE!
 |
| The soul on the realisation of its eternity. |
Ontario Polituburo General-secretary Doug Ford investigated for family history of drug dealing. What other secrets are there in this blackmailed bumpkin's closet?
Ontario Premier Doug Ford was investigated by a once responsible media for his family's history of drug-dealing. The Globe and Mail stands behind their May 2013 story. They have not retracted it nor has he sued them for defamation. You can't sue for defamation if it's true As an aside, Lin Wood knows this especially and Chief Justice Roberts knows too.
How much of this is out there? Who has buried this so that it just went away? Well, we've brought it back.
Globe investigation: The Ford family’s history with drug dealing - The Globe and Mail
What other secrets does the Premier have? Is he a sexual deviant? Was he on the Lolita Express to the island of Jeffery Epstein, who didn't kill himself. (Nota Bene: it is not now nor has it ever been nor will it ever be this writer's intention to commit suicide!) Who is blackmailing him, who has the goods on Dougie Ford? Or has he just been promised a seat at the table of the new world order to go along with this disgraceful action to wipe out independent business and the middle class? Has the lust for power - libido dominandi, totally taken him over, a total takeover by Satan himself? As a priest said to me last evening, "Lust is the only sin that cannot be satisfied. Gluttony can be satisfied, until you are hungry again, but lust is continuous, it does not stop." Lust for sex. Lust for money. Lust for power. Which is it Doug because you have been already judged and found wanting.
Someone must know something because it is obvious to me that no Conservative can be this stupid. He must be being blackmailed by those who want this communist shutdown and the elimination of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the inability of people to receive the sacraments notwithstanding Cowardinal Collins' requests. I know for a fact that some priests, pudgy, lazy, immuno-compromised, assembly theology heretics are not providing the sacraments and are cowering out of fear they will get the China Virus. Stinking cowards, all of them.
So tell us Doug, what's the rest of the story?
DOUG FORD IS KILLING OFF OUR SENIORS AND CARDINAL COLLINS IS COMPLICIT
Doug Ford is killing off, murdering the senior citizens and the infirm in Ontario, his own stats prove it and Thomas Cardinal Collins who has failed for nine months to stand up to him and denounce him, is complicit. As Ford will announce at 1:00 P.M. today, all of Ontario will go into a politburo diktat at 12:01 on December 24. No Mas or Communion Service For You!
Look at the graph below.
For those of us in Ontario, we will remember Doug Ford talking daily about putting an "iron ring" around our long-term care. His iron ring was really rusty chicken wire. The overwhelming deaths in the spring and cases deaths now are amongst seniors in long-term care. The data below proves it. But the rest of us need to be imprisoned for it.
Doug Ford is a liar and a coward. A stupid man. He is taking direction from a power mad Chief of Staff and medical "experts" who do not have faith in God or the Ontario people. They did this, they did not implement the necessary policies to protect the vulnerable and they are making the rest of us pay for it.
I spoke to a priest last evening, three actually. He just did a small funeral Saturday for a 91 year old parishioner who passed from the China Virus. The staff would not let her family in for months. So who gave her the virus?
These people, Doug Ford, his Chief of Staff Jamie Wallace, the Minister of Health, Christine Elliot and Dr. David Williams failed in their obligations and are now blaming us. Cardinal Collins is complicit. He failed to stand up to them in March and again in the last month. A coward who will be spat out and join the rest of them in their destiny for the betrayal of our weak and infirm and the literal imprisonment of the rest of us.

It's the Fourth Sunday of Advent and
... unlike the clericalist Thomas Cardinal Collins, his clericalist Auxiliaries John Boissonneau, Vincent Nguyen, Robert Kasun and soon to be bishop, Ivan Camilleri who all will worship God and receive the Holy Eucharist today, there is still
"Here a summary of the events since last year's Amazon Synod: First the Pope had blessed a sacrifice that had been offered to a false god, and then he placed it on the very altar on which he usually offers the Son of God to God the Father. In the 2020 Yearbook, he declines to be called “Vicar of Christ.” The coronacrisis breaks out, which is then being used by government authorities to close down churches and restrict Mass attendance, along with the Pope's collaboration and approval. Then the Pope stops altogether celebrating Mass on that very same Papal Altar on which he had earlier placed the Pachamama bowl. His Christmas Vigil Mass is not even a midnight Mass, but will take place at 7.30 p.m., due to the existing curfew rules in Italy (even though the Vatican is its own city-state and the Pope is its head). The result of these papal acts are that now in many places in the whole world the Christmas Midnight Mass, commemorating the birth of the Christ-Child, has been cancelled. One may ask whether there is a connection between all of these events: that is to say, from the Pachamama bowl on the Papal Altar to the cancellation of the Christmas Midnight Masses in many parts of the world."

No Mass for you on Christmas, but you can stand in line for the Holy Eucharist as if you were lining up to see Santa
Cardinal Collins has issued an update and letter of instruction to all priests in the Archdiocese of Toronto pertaining to Christmas and the situation with the diktats of Premier Douglas Ford. The Cardinal indicates that over this past week he has "reached out directly to Premier Ford with a request to open all of our parishes at 30% capacity for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day." He told the Premier that not one case of the China Virus "has been directly traced back to the church as the origin of transmission." The request was denied by Premier Ford.
I suppose that is something and he should be commended.
premier@ontario.ca and doug.fordco@pc.ola.org
Collins acknowledges that lawsuits by businesses and other places of worship, Pastor Peter Youngren's actions as reported previously on this blog, being the prime case. It will be interesting later today when the decision of the court on the Youngren suit is issued. I am not optimistic given the history of our judges in these matters but one never knows. The equality rights provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of the Constitution of Canada would seem to be pretty clear that if a couple of hundred can be at Costco, ten in a church is not reasonable or equitable. If Youngren is successful will the Cardinal reopen the churches to 30% capacity and public Mass as the courts might rule or will he bow to the diktats of the Premier and the "virtuous" public health officials to remain in their good books.
The Cardinal recognizes "the essential nature of the Eucharist, the source and summit of our spiritual strength as Christians, and the importance of Christmas." He continues that he wants "to provide an opportunity for the faithful who wish to do so, to spend time, even if briefly, at their local parish and, where possible, to receive Holy Communion," yet there will be no public Mass on Christmas, at least not for you. "Of course, all priests are offering Mass for the people every day, which is a basic dimension of the priestly office," says Collins, in a what is nothing more than a gross example of clericalism. The priest has his Mass but there is "no Mass for you!"
The "Four Ends of Mass" are adoration, thanksgiving, atonement and petition. Nowhere in this age old definition of the Holy Sacrifice is receiving Holy Communion mentioned. It is attending Mass that is our duty to God and our need. Holy Communion, as the Cardinal explains, can always be given outside the Holy Mass, today, tomorrow on Christmas Eve or the Day. Is this not happening? Are people not requesting or are priests denying Holy Communion?
So rather than give God his due, the Cardinal is telling us that even a layman can clericalise and lead the Holy Communion Service and get you in and out in "7 or 8 minutes." Just about the same time it takes to pick up a Big Mac and fries at McDonald's.
This is nothing more than a complete and utter abandonment of duty as an Apostle of Jesus Christ, a cowardly betrayal of the faithful and an example of the worst kind of assembly theology and clericalist arrogance. It as if they don't believe that the Mass has any worshipful or efficacious value outside of receiving Holy Communion.

Thomas Cardinal Collins! Have you considered that you are "complicit in murder?"

Veritas Obtains Recording Of Call Between Wikileaks Julian Assange & Law...
"Our view is that it is more your problem than ours but we have called the State Department and the (United States) Embassy for over a day trying to explain the urgency and they have not called back other than this call."
Cardinal Collins - open our churches for public worship and do it now!
It is long past time for all of us to call upon Toronto's Archbishop, Thomas Cardinal Collins, to defy the government diktats of the Province of Ontario and open the churches now for public worship to thirty percent. Now, let's be specific. The Government of Ontario and its Premier Douglas Ford did not close churches, not this time. They ridiculously limited attendance to ten, which in reality, when one includes the priest, would be eight or nine at the most. But you know, "it's just not worth it." The Cardinal has reacted to the inane limit of ten and the view of those around him of the worth of it and eliminated public Mass altogether. He has said that churches may remain open for private prayer at the discretion of the pastor. I know pastors that are doing this and are hearing confession, some in cars or driveways of their flock. Others, specifically in my neighborhood, are shut tight to keep the China Virus away.
Disgraceful. Not even in Poland did the communists shut down the churches, but in Toronto in 2020? Well, our spineless episcopal hirelings have done it themselves. Marx will be smiling from Hell.
They say, "follow the science." What science? This is a hoax on all of us. Not the virus, the virus real, the response is insane. The virus is real, I have never disputed that. It is almost one year to the day that I was struck with the most vicious in my life. I should know soon on the results of my participation in a massive study of Canadians for antibodies. I believe that I had the China Virus. But never would I expect that because I had it, or whatever it was, that Tina should have her business closed down or you couldn't attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Wash your hands, wear a mask inside in close quarters, stay away from sick people, take your vitamins.
We will know by Friday whether the lawsuit brought about by evangelical pastor Peter Youngren has been successful. If it is, and all he is asking is a restoration to the thirty percent capacity limit, will Cardinal Collins restore the public Mass or will he still act as a puppet on the string of those who have subsidized the diocese and buy tables to the Cardinal's Dinner?
Father Richard Gennaro Cipolla has a necessary read on Rorate Caeli blog. The dangers to souls and to the future of the Church and the conclusions he draws for America are identical here. I have said and written the same thing, many people have found something better to do on Sunday morning and many others think that they are at Mass when watching on a computer or television screen. These people will not return. Others are angry and will not return. But we are not alone as Roman Catholics in this - even the local Orthodox edifice in my neighbourhood has on its outdoor sign, "Church closed until further notice." Even them.
Yet, through all of this, there is one Catholic Church in Toronto, Peel and York Regions that soldiers on. Daily Mass with no more than ten, massive bookings for Confession and Holy Communion. A little church on a residential street formerly owned by Baptists and under the direction of the Society of St. Pius X.
I hear from priests daily on what I am writing. They urge me to keep going, not to stop. I tell none of them of the other and I assure you, there are many. I ask for their prayers, that is all. I can tell you, they are working. They are hearing confessions, some from cars, they are providing the sacraments and doing what they can under the restrictions imposed by the Cardinal. Not all are cowering in their rectories, but many are. If your priest is not available to you I can't even guarantee that an email to archbishop@archtoronto.org northern.region@archtoronto.org eastern.region@archtoronto.org bishop.boissonneau@rogers.com or even to the spox, Neil MacCarthy neilm@archtoronto.org, will change anything, but I urge you to try.
The other day a priest told me what I already suspected, that the post-China virus Church in Toronto is facing devastation. How sad that the last year of Cardinal Collins' tenure in Toronto will be one of desolation caused by his own decisions. He speaks often of St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher. How eloquent he was at Our Lady in Guelph upon receiving the red hat and returning to his boyhood parish where he served the Mass - "ad Deum qui laetificat juventutem meam." He did it at the Oratory when ordaining deacons a few weeks ago just before he shut it down. So much talk of More and Fisher.
Maybe he should act like them instead of just talking about them.
