It has not gone unnoticed amongst Catholics here in the little City of Toronto that today marks the feast of St. Thomas a Becket - particularly because 850 years ago tonight, there was a murder in Canterbury Cathedral orchestrated by a King who was upset at the usurpation of his temporal power. (One can make the case that the temporal powers today are still upset at the power the Church holds, and are still working to take Her down.)
Since the powers that be - including Cardinal Thomas Collins - are acting like King Henry II and have decided to close the churches, here is the Mass they have elected to deprive you of. Have a blessed feast day, and may God bless you all.
Peace and tranquility to you friends.
May your day be full of contentment, as you meditate on COVID.
May you be One with His Body.
May you find contentment in the banning of Holy Mass and the public worship of Jesus Christ
May tranquility be with your bishops who are One in COVID's Body
Peace, tranquility and contentment to you all friends!

All will become One in COVID's Body. Blessed be COVID |
Dear friends of our Blessed COVID
May the Peace and Tranquility of COVID be with us.
May we find contentment in no Holy Mass.
May we all rejoice at being One with COVID.
May we rejoice in the closing of our churches.
May COVID watch over us, protect us.
May COVID bring us every Joy and Consolation.
Let us always be One with COVID...

Meanwhile, at Toronto International Airport on December 26, 2020...
Mass is from Mater Ecclesiae Chapel in Berlin, New Jersey. Please visit the website. New
Jersey has hovered at about 4,000 positive Covid tests per day over the
past two weeks yet their churches remain open. Unlike Toronto (500+
positive tests per day) where Mass has been cancelled.
So it was on October 19 that Fr. Michal Woznicki, "suspended" by the Poznan Ordinary and thrown out of the Salesians in Poznan, Poland in 2018, experienced their wrath. Having discovered that Fr. Woznicki was saying Mass and "violating "covid" restrictions, the Salesians telephoned the police requesting they enter the chapel and arrest the traditionalist priest.
Having just finished Mass, Fr. Woznicki (leading a small group of about seven faithful) began the Holy Rosary - only to be interrupted by armed police. Fr. Woznicki politely told the police that Jesus Christ was present in the Blessed Sacrament, True God and True Man, and if they could please kneel down. You watch what happens...

The Diocese of St. Catherines is a suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Toronto. It is the smallest of the five dioceses that make up the Ecclesiastical Province of Toronto, yet it is has done something to be commended.
In a time where Cardinal Collins has shuttered public Mass for his faithful, Bishop Bergie has decided to keep public Masses open for his own flock, balancing individual pastors' insights with the requests made by the provincial government.
The letter detailing his decision is below.

OPEN THE CHURCHES,
RESTORE OUR PUBLIC WORSHIP DUE ALMIGHTY GOD IN THE HOLY MASS!

A Toronto ecclesial community, the "Toronto International Celebration Church" has filed an application to the Ontario Superior Court for "equality under the law", challenging the unjust lockdown laws that openly discriminate against Houses of worship.
We now ask: will you, Cardinal Collins join these brothers?
Will you join as an Intervenor?
Will you assist these separated brethren out of ecumenical love, and contribute towards their legal fees?
Will you come out publicly in support of our separated brothers?
Dear friends, please pray for these, our separated brethren, who are showing more faith, more vigilance for justice, more rigor in defending the rights of Our Lord Jesus Christ than the pastors of Christ's Church. This silence and capitulation on the part of our pastors is a great scandal, but God draws good out of evil. He has exposed them; the corruption, and the hirelings who infest the Church.
A few months ago we caught Bishop Ronald Fabbro LYING to the faithful. Now, Fabbro of the Diocese of London (Essex County, southern Ontario) has issued an illegal and unconstitutional edict ("Update 13"). Though Provincial Law (Ontario. Reg. 365/20), well as local municipal laws, (City of London By-Law PH 20, Sec. 13 exempt those with a medical condition from proving same, Fabbro has rejected this and demanded that Catholics MUST show "evidence" of a medical condition to be allowed into a church. Fabbro's demands also violate Sec.2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Now Fabbro has not done this out of ignorance; to the contrary, Fabbro admits his actions are illegal (which will have serious repercussions when a Catholic sues him), but tries to blur this over by writing:
"This new protocol does go beyond the requirements in most health unit orders and local by-laws..."
According to Fabbro, Catholics who do not wear masks (I am now only referring to those who have a medical condition) may be turned away at the church door if they do not provide a letter from their GP, NP; or other allied health professional. Fabbro's plan is to initially send these Catholics via mail an order to wear a mask or they will not be allowed entrance into the church. There are initial practical problems with this: 1) Fabbro has included in his list allied health professionals who do not have access to medical records, nor have the competency to make a diagnosis; secondly, how will he obtain the mailing address of Catholics? Does he intend to create his own "Enabling Act"?
Questions: How are Catholics to obtain a Letter? Many physicians offices are closed; most allied health professionals are closed. Some Catholics may have a long-standing health condition but not currently have a GP. Think this far fetched? My GP retired three months before the first lockdown. Further, is Fabbro not aware that many GPs read peer-reviewed literature; literature that calls into question the efficacy of masks, and, as such, could easily write letters for anyone who requests? This is not about health. This is about the ravings of a fool who lives in an ivory tower, detached from the daily struggles and concerns of the long-suffering faithful. It is about ungodly control of the faithful.
Now let us turn from the impracticability to the illegality and unconstitutionality of Fabbro's demands.
We need to preface our serious concerns with the question of whether or not Fabbro understands he is opening himself and the Diocese to not only litigation, but even being charged under the Criminal Code of Canada, with "threatening" force (c.f. CCC 265, 1) as articulated in his "Update 13"? Let Fabbro not think that his buildings are "private"; the Provincial and municipal legislation is clear: they regard places of worship where the public gathers as "public". If Fabbro thinks he can claim that the buildings are part of his private fiefdom, I say, joined by innumerable Catholics: "Bring it on Ronald! Bring it on!"
Questions: How does Fabbro intend to enforce these blockages of faithful entering a church, or evicting them from a church? Call the police? He cannot, it is illegal for police to remove someone from a public building if they have not broken the law. Clearly, a Catholic who states they have a medical condition, and freely chooses not to provide evidence of same is within the law. Will Fabbro then try to use ushers to physically remove the person/s? He cannot, as this would constitute assault under the Criminal Code. Make no mistake, Fabbro in issuing these decrees could (besides paying millions when sued) face jail if a Catholic parishioner is assaulted by his diocesan thugs. Catholics who have medical conditions are going to have to "man up" and just go into church.
Finally, as a bishop, Fabbro is to uphold just laws and teach the faithful to do so as well. To violate laws unjustly, and to encourage others to do so is a grave mortal sin.
CATHOLICS STAND UP TO THIS WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING!
ACTION ITEM: Catholics in the Diocese of London: STOP DONATING. Seek our other Catholics to do the same. Find priests loyal to the Magisterium, and directly support them. STOP giving to the Bishop! You don't give to Anglicans, Methodists; nor should you give to a Modernist.
Addendum: Fabbro further informs the faithful that instructions on how to receive Holy Communion are under a certain "Father Bechard, Director of Liturgy". We had thought that Bechard had been removed from powerful diocesan positions and influence after the faithful were alerted to the "homoerotic" images on his Facebook page. Unfortunately, Fabbro did not take these grave violations of Christian morals by a Catholic priest seriously. We shall deal with this, and the mocking approach to the faithful who have used a pyx for the reception of Holy Communion in a later post, but we raise these here to draw the readers' attention to how these evils are all interconnected and flow out of the same moral sewer that is the Diocese of London, flowing from Bishop Fabbro downwards.
Stay tuned. MORE TO COME. We have just begun to fight!
The VERY empty St. Michael's Cathedral |
Dear friends, we have been warned in Sacred Scripture about the evils of money. Judas Iscariot himself exemplifies this when he sold Our Lord Jesus Christ to the High Priests and Pharisees for a mere 30 pieces of silver. What price have the Government and the various dioceses across Canada come to for selling out our rights?
We know for a fact that since March so called "employees" of the Catholic Church (at one time the Mystical Body of Christ, but now a series of "corporations") have been on the government dole for 75% of their wages. Further subsidies are ongoing, so be assured the churchmen will continue to acquiesce to the diktats of the State. One of Cardinal Collins' underlings even claims we should be "grateful" to the godless government that locks us out of our churches for the handouts of cash!
Simply outrageous! The governmental hook is deeply embedded in these worldly, rich local churches. The once fishers of men, are themselves caught in a net of their own shortsightedness and greed. The Catholic Church should never be involved in taking filthy lucre from the State.
Watch the above video and learn how the lure of MONEY dangled before these episcopal "corporations" has the effect of binding and gagging the Church. The churchmen and their "mis"-advisors know well that to make a stand in the defense of religious freedom will mean not only litigation, but the severance of the billions handed out like a drug by the government apparatchiks. The timid, frightened, and misled bishops have been trapped.
But now is the appropriate time! Now is the time to "be not afraid", to reject the filthy lucre of men whose mouths are "full of cursing, guile, oppression...". Now is the time for the bishops to shout out "arise then, Lord lift up your hand...break the power of the wicked and the sinner. Punish his wickedness till nothing remains. The Lord is king for ever and ever" (Psalm 10).
Please continue to pray for Cardinal Collins and his brother bishops that they begin to lead. As we have written, Catholics will support him! There is no need for fear. Let us take St. Pius X as our example when he faced down the Freemasons in France who were violating the rights of the Church.
"I do not want ever to shut down the Church again."
So said, Toronto Archbishop Thomas Cardinal Collins on November 13, 2020 only to go against his own words by doing exactly that on November, 23. Ah, wait, he is correct, he did not "shut down the Church again," he only banned the public worship of God in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The good Cardinal left the churches open for private prayer to a maximum of ten established by the Ontario politburo diktat of General-secretary Douglas Ford after being advised by the same "virtuous" medical professionals spoken of by our good Cardinal. The same ones that recently murdered a woman by lethal injection, an elderly woman now before God and one who could not bear another shutdown. The Cardinal said he "did not want collateral damage." Well, he got it bigtime.
So, the Cardinal can make a distinction. He did not "shutdown the Church again." He only shutdown the Holy Sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
How does this make sense and why has he done this?
If the church can have ten people, why can it not have eight faithful, a priest and one server to make up those ten. I am not trying to justify General-secretary Ford's diktat, but let's just try for a moment to work within the decree.
If ten can gather and distance and mask and sanitize at St. Clare of Assisi Woodbridge which holds over 1,000 to recite the rosary, why can they not gather for Mass? It hurts the brain to try to unravel this riddle.
It is simple.
As I have been told by more than one who would know, "It is just not worth it." That is the view of the Cardinal, his Auxiliaries, the chancerycrats and the close circle of priests around him. It's just not worth it. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is just not worth it.
Christ, is not worth it.
You, are not worth it.
You, my friend, you are not worth the trouble of figuring out which ten. But hey, the priest has his Mass. Talk about clericalism.
Is part of the riddle, the distribution of Holy Communion? We know he has violated the rights of the faithful to receive on the tongue and has approved the dropping of the Host in one's hands, where it may fall on the floor and particles, each of which contains Christ, scatter. We know that without authority, Toronto Public Health and presumably others, have threatened the Church over this matter. It is not acceptable.
So, let us work for a moment again within the politburo diktat. After all, what would St. Thomas More, who Cardinal Collins so often quotes praises, do?
"I'd give the Devil the benefit of law, for my own safety's sake."
The Cardinal has the authority to say that there will be no distribution of Holy Communion at Mass. The faithful do not need to receive the Eucharist at Mass. The priest must, as the Levitical priests old, consume the Holy Sacrifice. It was later, distributed the Hebrew people. Holy Communion can be received by appointment (contact tracing) on the hand or tongue alone as an individual or family circle with proper sanitizing measures before and after.
If this little layman can figure this out, why can't the Cardinal.
My friends, as Ontario politburo General-secretary Ford is wont to say, my friends, I can only do so much. I am one person, what are you doing? What has happened to us. Do we need to use Adam Skelley as our role model?
I wrote yesterday that we will back the Cardinal, we will defend his priests, our priests.
Cardinal Collins, you wear red for a reason. You have forgotten. You will be judged by Jesus Christ for this. Imagine if Our Lord Jesus Christ said in the Garden, "Father, its just not worth it!"
Restore the public Mass in Toronto and Peel now. Do it, now and do not do what you have done again.
Advise the Premier today that as of next Sunday, we will return to 30% and in order to increase the number of Masses, limit homilies to five minutes and eliminate the distribution of Holy Communion in the Mass and do it by appointment.
Advise the Premier and the Medical Officers of Health that they can issue whatever citation, or fine, or penalty they wish. They can even arrest you and your priests as they did Mr. Skelley, who as of this writing has in his war chest $229,229.00.
Let them drag you in handcuffs from the Cathedral.
Yesterday, I visited Adamson's BBQ. It was barricaded with concrete barriers and there were over fifty police, none of whom wanted to be there. They were borrowed from across the city. I asked an Officer, "what would happen if 100 or more did this as a protest." He told me, "absolutely nothing, we could not handle it."
Bullies back down.
Unless the coward lets them continue.
Cardinal Collins, you speak much of More and Fisher as you did at the Oratory last Saturday and your Sunday homily from the same Ambo disgraced a few weeks ago by Justin Trudeau, whilst you the servant of us and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, sat behind a pillar, muted and struck dumb with a face mask. You, were silent whilst Justin Trudeau seized the place of the Word of God and received the Holy Sacrament whilst the cameras panned to the ceiling and for which I have witnesses.
Enough!
As St. Catherine of Sienna
said, "We've had enough exhortations to be silent."
To my fellow Catholics, she commanded us, "Cry out with a thousand tongues
- I see the world is rotten because of silence!"
