Back in June, Cardinal Collins lamented that if he did not obey the Toronto public health authorities they would forbid the Sacraments, and outright ban the Mass.
A week ago, these same authorities who demanded our churches be closed in March, illegally banned singing, and, far worse, banned Holy Communion on the tongue. These same authorities who now declared that - irrespective of the size of the house of worship - no more than 50 could attend; to then within 24 hours, reduce the number to a mere 10. They were backed up by Gauleiter Doug Ford, who with the stroke of a pen, can overrule them.
So it sadly is, that Cardinal Collins continues to take the knee to these authorities; "leaders" (in reality mis-leaders), as he calls them, and worries that he might have to take "proactive" action to show to these people that the Catholic Church cares for the common good! Imagine trying to discuss the common good with people who openly and aggressively promote abortion as "essential", yet claim to be imposing lock downs to protect the sanctity of life. They certainly don't lie very well, do they?
Let us now examine two examples of how these people really care about human life, promote the "common good":
Or this:
Now that we have reviewed the type of warped minds the Cardinal is dealing with, let us watch the following video of a Webinar dated November 13.
Note how the Cardinal is torn and paralyzed with seeming fear of these people; how he agonizes, knowing the Catholic Church is being threatened and intimidated to such a degree that he has had to "argue" with these apparatchiks that the Church does indeed protect the community. The hypocritical audacity of such caluminators! How dare they threaten the Catholic Church! It is time this outrage ends!
Once again we appeal to His Eminence:
Dear Cardinal Collins, we WILL support you! We will stand with you! Do NOT fear these evil people. You know they hold to an atheistic conception of man, denying the Divine.
You have in the past undertaken charitable work in the ecumenical field: pick up the phone, call the local Orthodox Prelates, telephone separated brethren, Jews, Moslems, and others of good will. Get together and go to Court to demand our rights. Be like your brother, Cardinal Dolan of New York, who together with a group of Jews went to Court and defeated the thuggish Gauleiter Andrew Cuomo.
I hang my head in shame that this is happening in my city, my Archdiocese. And yet, there are two reactions I get from my posts on Vox Cantoris from priests.
ReplyDeleteOne is, "Keep doing it, you are saying what we cannot."
The other: "In light of our Lord's words not to judge, and considering that my knowledge is imperfect and fallible, and almost completely lacking when it comes to other people's hearts, consciences, the situations they are in, I am always hesitant to draw conclusions about people such as you do in this letter."
The latter wants us to lie down whilst the NAZI's round us up as sheep to the slaughter. How can they do this to us?
Well said Barona. I agree His Eminence should gather our separated brethren to make a united stand. But if he doesn't, we'll still have his back. Bullies only stop when they get punched in the nose.
ReplyDeleteThese bullies include not only the City, but the CBC, the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, the National Post and even the Sun. (The last two may have opinion pieces favorable to the People of God occasionally, but not their news divisions.)
So that's a heady group of enemies. And a well-reasoned argument needs to be made to satisfy legitimate health concerns. But we have the Charter on our side, and the Archdiocese still carries a lot of weight in the corridors of power. If we need to throw it around, let's do it.
