| "COVID CASH" for "churches". How Caesar buys obedience |
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you
have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
Christianity is under attack as it has never been before. Churches are now being burnt and vandalized across North America. Most people are unaware that churches have been subject to arson attacks for years. Canada is not immune to these events. Vox Cantoris reports of a monstrous attack on a statue of the Blessed Mother just outside of Toronto. All hell would have broken loose in Canada's media had the attack been on a synagogue, mosque, or temple. But the media knows its enemy and are silent. They know that it is Christianity, and the Catholic Church in particular, that stands in the way of a complete overthrown of civilization and morality.
Though the media are correct, the rot, the corruption in the Church has virtually paralyzed Her. I wish to touch upon one contributing factor: the Catholic Church in Canada's strange relationship with the State. The Catholic in Canada is de facto ia collection of "not for profit corporations". They are behaving like them, and NOT like local churches devoted to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is the same old story: follow the money. Once Caesar establishes a financial relationship in which the Church becomes beholden to the State, the game is over. Who bites the hand that feeds it? And when money is taken, a relationship is established, and the giver controls the relationship.
An example of this corruption, and falling for the siren's call, is the legal entity known as the "Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation for the Diocese of Toronto". Gone is the Mystical Body of Christ, the local Church. Gone is the local church that could (if She took a stand for Christ) reflect a small bit of what must have been the radiant beauty of the pure, undefiled ancient Church of Rome during the persecutions. The local church is be leaven, salt, light, and a "counter culture". We have not so much a church anymore, but a "corporation". An adulteress who has betrayed Christ to give herself to Caesar.
And so it is that the Catholic Church in Canada is prostrate before the Canadian Caesar, kissing the edge of his toga, begging for, and as a faithful and obedient Subject, receiving a bag of denarii.
The Church in Canada has done that for years - selling Her soul to the State. Only now are we seeing the rotten fruits of that ghastly business.
ReplyDeleteSo true, they take the State's money and are shocked, shocked when atheistic schemes are foisted on us.
ReplyDeleteCan we talk about Doug Ford and what an (almost) wasted vote this turned out to be? Remember his promise to repeal Wynne's sex ed curriculum, and the fake 'consultation' that resulted in its being NOT repealed. The opt-out provisions are as complicated as a Rube Goldberg device.
His C19 response is such that there are NO COMPLAINTS from the left wing MSM. Which means he's bought into all the machinations of provincial and municipal "health experts", which take their lead from the WHO. His advisors likely have told him that if he deviates from the heath experts' advice and there's one extra death, he will wear it. In effect, unelected health authorities are running the province.
All that said, he did allow the Church to open at 30% capacity when other jurisdictions haven't. And no doubt against the recommendations of the health authorities.
It is only when the monkey goes up the tree do we find out what's inside of him. Spanish proverb
ReplyDeletePhineas, Agreed. Ford is hog-tied by the media and the elite establishment.
