Cardinal Collins become a "meddlesome priest"! Your Eminence cry out: "the church shall be open!

Icon of the 40 Martyrs of England and Wales canonized in 1971

 Unbar the doors! throw open the doors!

I will not have the house of prayer, the church of Christ,
The Sanctuary, turned into a fortress.

The Church shall protect her own, in her own way, not
As oak and stone; stone and oak decay,
Give no stay, but the Church shall endure.

The church shall be open, even to our enemies.
Open the door!
(from T. S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral )


Dear friends, as we end this year, we end it with great sadness, knowing that the enemies of Christ, oppressing the Church have achieved a near universal ban on the public celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The false pretext given by our oppressors is to save life, yet as our churches remain shut for public worship, our oppressors ensure that women are able to destroy the fruit of their wombs. Perhaps even more lamentable than the persecution and lies of godless oppressors is the cowardly acquiescence of the Hierarchy of the Church of Christ. Nothing is more tragic than to see the man who be the Vicar of Christ, shut down the churches of Rome. This tragedy of capitulation has been replicated worldwide, such that in most of our towns and cities, the faithful have been deprived of attending Holy Mass, even receiving the Sacrament of Confession. Where is the courage of the saints to withstand this evil?
In 1170 (850 years ago) a "meddlesome priest", St. Thomas Becket was struck down by henchmen of the King at Vespers. A century earlier, in 1079, St Stanislaw was murdered by the King himself. Both of these "meddlesome priests" stood four-square for Christ and His Church. They would not compromise the rights of Christ's Church to the State. They paid for it with their blood. Witness to the Faith brings conversion. The English martyrs forgave their persecutors, prayed for them. But they gave the example of Jesus Christ: they laid down their lives for their Master. Let us not forget to not only pray, but in opening our churches (and being persecuted) we can give witness to the godless, and through witness to Christ, lay the foundations of grace to move the heart of the persecutor to conversion.
We ask: is there not one "meddlesome priest" left who will stand for Christ and His Church? Who will defend the rights of Holy Mother Church? Who will witness Jesus Christ to the persecutors?

In the meantime, following the holy example of the English Catholic Martyrs, we cry out:

IT IS THE MASS THAT MATTERS

Tuesday, 29 December 2020

850 years ago today, there was a Murder in Canterbury Cathedral

 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.



SAINT THOMAS OF CANTERBURY
Bishop and Martyr

Within the Octave of Christmas

Saint David the King
(Historical)

DOUBLE / RED
Thomas Becket, like "the good shepherd," laid down his life for the flock entrusted to his care. Already chancellor of England at the age of 35, he was consecrated archbishop of Canterbury in 1162 at the recommendation of Henry II. The king, relying on Thomas' gratitude and friendship, attempted to extend his jurisdiction over ecclesiastical affairs. But the archbishop fearlessly defended the independence of the Church and as a result was punished by banishment. After six years in exile, he returned and was brutally murdered by royal retainers while celebrating Vespers in his own episcopal church on December 29, 1170.

INTROIT
Let us all rejoice in the Lord as we celebrate the feast in honor of the blessed martyr Thomas, at whose martyrdom the angels rejoiced and praised the Son of God.
Ps. 32:1. Rejoice in the Lord, you just; praise befits the upright.
V. Glory be . . .

Gloria

COLLECT
O God, for the cause of the Church the glorious bishop Thomas was slain by the swords of evil men. May all who implore his aid obtain through him the petitions they ask. Through our Lord . . .

Commemoration of the Octave of CHRISTMAS
Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that the new birth, in the flesh, of Your only-begotten Son may deliver us whom the bondage of old keeps under the yoke of sin.
Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. 


EPISTLE Heb. 5:1-6
Brethren: Every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins: Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity. And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was. So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: "Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee." As he saith also in another place: "Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech."

GRADUAL Eccli. 44:16, 20
Behold a great priest, who pleased God in his life.
V. There was none found like to him, who kept the law of the Most High.

Alleluia, alleluia! V. John 10:14
I am the good shepherd and I know my sheep, and mine know me. Alleluia!

GOSPEL John 10:11-16
At that time, Jesus said to the Pharisees, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep, And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me. As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd." 

OFFERTORY ANTIPHON Ps. 20:4-5
You have placed on his head a crown of precious stones, O Lord. He asked life of You, and You have given it to him, alleluia!

SECRET
Bless the gifts we have set apart for You, O Lord. may the prayers of Your blessed martyr bishop, Thomas, help these offerings to win Your mercy for us. Through our Lord . . .

Commemoration of the Octave of CHRISTMAS
 Make holy the sacrificial gifts we offer, O Lord, and by the new birth of Your only-begotten Son cleanse us from the stains of our sins.
Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.


COMMUNION ANTIPHON John 10:14
I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and mine know me.

POSTCOMMUNION
O Lord, may this Communion cleanse us from sin, and bestow on us spiritual health from heaven through the intercession of Your blessed martyr bishop Thomas. Through our Lord . . .

Commemoration of the Octave of CHRISTMAS
Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that the Savior of the world, born this day, Who is the author of our birth in godliness, may bestow on us immortal life.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.

Priest dragged out of Chapel and arrested: How Modernists had a Traditionalist priest arrested for "Covid" violations

The real enemy is in the House of God. Today, as we celebrate St Stephen, let us recall that every age had its martyrs. 

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...


Is this the time of "the abomination of desolation"?

Yesterday was Christmas. It was a rather lovely day with the family. We gathered early in the morning around the tree, ate a late brunch, and watched three Christmas movies back-to-back in our pyjamas. It was a generous reprieve from the nonsense of the past year. We have become exhausted with the incessant talk of COVID-19 for months on end, and are just waiting for it to be finished.

That was yesterday. Today is St. Stephen's Day, a brand new day. As I write this on the feast of the protomartyr, St. Michael's Cathedral sits empty while Toronto Pearson International Airport is packed with people. I thought we were in the midst of a global pandemic and rising case numbers that necessitated a provincial lockdown? If so, why is it business as usual at Toronto Pearson and not business as usual at St. Michael's Cathedral?

St. Michael's Cathedral remains closed...

Our Premier, Mr. Ford, talks about how we must do everything in our power to make sure the curve is flattened and the vulnerable are protected. The local Cardinal, Thomas Collins, says much the same.

...while Toronto Pearson is open for business.

Yet, one has allowed Toronto Pearson to remain open for business while the other has deprived the Mass to his faithful. Both men have categorically gone against the principles they supposedly hold dear. (Cardinal Collins has been followed by his Ontario brethren, with the exception of Bishop Bergie.) 

It is upsetting, to say the least.

Are we in the time of the "abomination of desolation," as I allude to in the title of this post? I will let readers come to their own conclusions about that. After all, St. Michael's sits empty and our Cardinal does not put up a fight.

Regardless, we must do our best to rise above the "abomination of desolation," and buck the trend of cultural Catholicism. In the post below, we heard from a Jew who correctly noted that God offered a window for America to turn back to Him. Instead, our southern neighbours continued on with the same old nonsense. It is now rearing back on its hind legs and biting them - hard. Much the same could be said for Canada, only we were stuck with Trudeau rather than Trump. As Canadian Catholics, I fear we have been too compliant with the promotion of deadly sin for far too long as a society, because we had our cultural, nominal Catholicism. That was enough to satiate our needs, but the time has come and gone for that. We need to only look towards Cardinal Collins to see the fruit of that collective mindset.

As Catholics, we are asked to be counter-cultural and become something more for those around us. Break the cycle. What that means for each of us individually differs, but break the cycle we must. 

Cardinal Collins would be a good candidate for that by opening St. Michael's Cathedral in the same way the Ontario government has kept Toronto Pearson open - but I am not holding my breath.

We may be in the time of the "abomination of desolation," but that doesn't mean we need to sink into despair and dejection, as I have unfortunately seen too many Catholics (including myself) fall into since March 13th. 

After all, peace and hope has just come to us once again in the form of the Infant Jesus.

JONATHAN CAHN: URGENT MESSAGE DECEMBER 2020 | Where We Are Now And What ...


This was sent to me this this morning with a question: How long until Catholics speak in this way?

Jonathan Cahn is a Jew, speaking here about the window of time for repentance in the time of Jehu and our own time, in the person of Donald J. Trump.

There is much to ponder here. I invite you to listen.

Those whom the Church has abandoned seem to be the ones seeing the most clearly.

Bishop Bergie of the Diocese of St. Catherines bucks the trend of Ontario's Catholic Bishops

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.

Bishop Bergie is to be commended for this action.

Now, only one question remains.

When will Cardinal Collins follow Bishop Bergie's example?

It is the Mass that matters, NOT a Communion Service


"The light of good example is extinguished in those who ought to shine as luminaries to the whole world like watchtowers and beacons on the mountains. No light, alas! comes from them, but horrid darkness and pestilent mischief, by which innumerable souls are falling into destruction".

St. John Fisher  

 

 Cardinal Collins: 

OPEN THE CHURCHES, 

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

Monday, 14 December 2020

The proof is in the pudding


On Friday, I was given a chance to avail myself of the Sacrament of Confession in the driveway of my home. After the priest had heard my Confession, he and I spent some time discussing some topics of interest. One of them was the shuttering of public Masses by the Cardinal. I confided to Father that while I did not miss the Eucharist - not having had It for many months, I had offered it up as a privation - I missed going to Mass for the sake of going to Mass. Like many good Catholics, Sunday Mass is the highlight of my week. It is what keeps me going until the next week - the older I get, the more I need to rest in Christ's arms. Seeing the Mass shuttered twice in the space of less than a year has been saddening and upsetting for this writer.

In any case, Father also confirmed my sentiments that these new measures - by both the Ford government and the Cardinal - are unnecessary and extreme. We both agreed that it is wrong, and even called into question some of the hysteria around the coronavirus. However, one of the more interesting points Father and I discussed was how to respond to all of this. Father is aware that I write under this pseudonym, and he is also aware I struggle with finding a balance between speaking out and remaining silent. He and I came to the conclusion that there is little I can add to the conversation which hasn't already been said, and it would do little good for me to be angry.

However, this was before the Archdiocese decided to close down York Region's public Masses as of 12 o'clock midnight this morning. Pursuant to this development, I received an email which called the members of the Archdiocese's highest echelons to account. Upon reading this email, I was moved to ask myself that if the Cardinal is regarded as pious, devout, and a firm defender of the Catholic faith, why has he closed down the celebration of public Mass a second time in the space of a year? It is a difficult circle for me to square.

I do not doubt I am not the only Catholic in the Archdiocese asking themselves this same question. What I am told the Cardinal is does not match up with the facts. Sure, pious and devout men can temporarily suspend the Mass without significant damage to their reputation. After all, suspending public Mass was a measure undertaken with necessity during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic - a pandemic, we can be sure, was much more serious than the one today. Ours is not so serious, as Barona and others have demonstrated, so why are we suspending the Mass once again? Something is not right here.

Therefore, it is with great sadness that I formally join the crusade calling for the Cardinal to restore public Mass for the City of Toronto, the Region of Peel, and the York Region. I do it with sadness because I should not have been placed in this position to call on the Cardinal to do his duty. He should know what to do - safeguard the rights of God - without being told to do so. But it has fallen to the likes of little people such as myself, Barona, Vox Cantoris, and Everyday for Life Canada to remind the Cardinal of his duty. As Blessed Pope Pius IX once said in response to the social movements of his day, "The world has heard enough of the so-called 'rights of man.' Let it hear something of the rights of God."

I respectfully ask Cardinal Collins to uphold the rights of God, one of which is that He is worshipped in the manner most pleasing to Him - the Mass - and restore its public availability for the greater good.

As for the question of the Cardinal's piety and fidelity to God in light of his closing of public Mass twice in one year? I leave that to more able men. 

The proof, after all, is in the pudding.

BREAKING: Toronto church sues Government asking for "equality under the law". WILL YOU JOIN THIS ACTION, CARDINAL COLLINS?

 

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.

Bishop Fabbro issues ILLEGAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL edict on Masks in churches!

 


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!

Money? Is it the root of the evil that has the Archdiocese of Toronto surrendering to the Covid Gestapo?

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.

Would the Catholics in the City of Toronto and the Region of Peel please stand up?

"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!"

Vox Cantoris: REPORT: ONTARIO GOVERNMENT WAS PREPARED TO LIFT CHURCH RESTRICTIONS AS EARLY AS LATE APRIL INTO MAY - WHY DID CARDINAL COLLINS DELAY UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF JUNE?

 

Vox Cantoris: AN OPEN LETTER TO THOMAS CARD. COLLINS ON THE CESSATION OF PUBLIC DIVINE WORSHIP IN PARTS OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF TORONTO.

Take the time to read Vox Cantoris over the coming weeks

 Long-time readers of this blog will be aware that we like to refer to Vox Cantoris from time to time. Thus, it comes at no surprise that we are encouraging all of our readers to pay special attention to our sister blog over the next few weeks in this time of crisis for the Archdiocese of Toronto.


To the uninitiated (and even those who used to be familiar with him), Vox is described as mean, disgusting, rigid, aggressive, and toxic - all words I have personally heard used to describe either his blog and his person - and all other sorts of cruel epithets. The aptest word I can use to describe Vox's writing style is blunt. This is a positive trait to have. As someone said to me recently regarding Vox, he says what they would say if they were of any position and importance as a Catholic. High praise, indeed.

So, go on over to the link below to the homepage of Vox Cantoris. I strongly encourage all to take in what he says with an attitude of meditation. Reflect on what he writes. Ponder it. Chew on it if need be. Take something away from with you when you click away from the post you are on. I may be biased, but I think Vox has a lot of important things to say, and people (at least in the Archdiocese of Toronto and surrounding environs) have a bad tendency to dismiss him as a "touchy and self-righteous" person, or some such term, when that is far from the case at all. Break that cycle.


Oh, and Vox? Thank you for your witness and ardent love of Christ and His Church.
