Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends ~ Ladies and gentlemen: The Covid Mass !

In a dystopian world, rather than succumb to the insanity, humour can go a long way. Truth to tell, that if these sad churchmen could devote one tenth of the energy they exert for physical cleanliness to spiritual cleanliness, the Catholic Church could rise from Her present state of groveling in the dirt before Her persecutors.

As the Prophet Ezekiel (36:25) wrote:" I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you".

Archdiocese of Toronto ~ they locked us out of our churches, NOW THEY LOCK US OUT OF THE ORDINATIONS

This morning I hoped to watch the Ordinations from the Cathedral. Numerous searches on the Cathedral's website, the Archdiocesan Youtube channel, Facebook, and Twitter revealed nothing at all. I DMed the Archdiocese. Naturally, I received NO response. Why would they reply? I am not a wealthy multi-millionaire donor.  

Keyword search reveals NOTHING about the Ordinations

Now, as I write, after the Ordinations have been completed though (presumably) the Mass is still in progress, I have been informed that one needs a "special link". Yes, a special link, for special people. How deliciously gnostic. Why a "special link"? What are they hiding? This is just another shameful display of clericalism. 

NO Ordinations in the Cathedral's Video Archive 

Not being a "special" person, I have been cast into outer darkness. So be it. These evil, wicked men, these corrupters of the Faith will have to answer before Almighty God for not only their connivance in demolishing the Faith, but in their derisive abuse of the faithful.  

NO video of the Ordinations in the Archdiocese's video archive

This Church of the Accompaniment is the Church of the Abandonment. This truly shows how much they despise the faithful (except of course, their money). 

DISGUSTING 

DESPICABLE

EVIL

Bishop Ronald Fabbro caught LYING about Holy Communion BAN on the Hand

The new "COVID Mass" Communion Rite
as demonstrated on video, courtesy of the Diocese of London, Ontario 

Bishop Ronald Fabbro of London (Ontario), has distinguished himself by  BANNING Confession in his Diocese with the commencement of SARS-CoV2.* To add to this great EVIL, we can now reveal that the bishop has been exposed LYING to the faithful. In the screenshot below, Bishop Fabbro claims that the Middlesex-London Health Unit directed him to distribute Holy Communion in the hand only. Bishop Fabbro: "ON THE DIRECTION OF MEDICAL AUTHORITIES, COMMUNION MUST BE DISTRIBUTED ONLY IN THE HAND".

Bishop Fabbro's LIE about Holy Communion on the hand 

But is this true? 


Let us see just what Middlesex-London Health Unit published. The following is the entire "Guideline":

The fact is the "guidelines" only mention "avoid activities...drinking from chalice" [but only if shared], and "avoid preparing distributing food and beverages". The "guidelines" do NOT state how Holy Communion is to be distributed, they do NOT even mention Holy Communion at all. There was NO "direction", NO order. 

If Bishop Fabbro is interpreting Holy Communion as "food and beverages", (besides the blasphemous flippancy of the godless health authorities) the fact is it is "guidance" and not Law. 

Let us be clear, The Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford has issued a Law (O.52/20) and there is NO mention of liturgical rites, NO mention of the Sacraments, NO mention of the the Blessed Eucharist and how it is to be distributed to the faithful. The Premier has not interfered in the Church's Divine Liturgy and Sacraments in any way. 

In fact, illegal and unconstitutional meddling, threats and interference has come from rogue public health officials producing "guidelines" and "guidance". It must be added that Middlesex-London has NO authority to comment on and interfere in how priests of the Catholic Church drink the Precious Blood from the Chalice. Nor do they have ANY authority to change Catholic worship in any manner. That authority belongs solely to the Pope, and to those whom he delegates. 

Bishop Fabbro should be concerned about this open attack on religious liberty, and he should be publicly rebuking the attempt by these faceless rogue bureaucrats to dare tell the Catholic Church how to conduct Her Sacred Liturgies. One has to ask: what has happened to the Bishop Fabbro of 2005 who rebuked and sanctioned a pro-gay Member of Parliament? Or the Bishop Fabbro of 2018 who stood down Trudeau over abortion? What is going on? Why has Bishop Fabbro become a milquetoast? 

Friends, it is a very serious act to publicly reprimand and address a bishop of the Catholic Church as a "liar". But we do so with full appreciation of this act. He has GRAVELY abused the faithful, and he must be called to account. We call upon Bishop Fabbro to confess his public lie and deception of the Catholic faithful, to repent, and to immediately reinstate Confession (which he has diabolically deprived the faithful), and to immediately retract his false, illegal and immoral edict mandating Holy Communion only on the hand. 

Finally review the scandalous video put out by the Diocese of London. In it directives are given to priests and "Eucharistic Ministers" [sic] to disinfect their hands if they inadvertently touch a Communicant's hands! This is sacrilege! Gone is the careful and essential rubric of purification with water to ensure that EVERY particle is reverently cared for whilst the REAL PRESENCE dwells under the appearance of bread.

* Bishop Fabbro lifted after NEARLY THREE MONTHS, lifted his canonically illegal ban on Confession in late June.  

Out of the Wilderness...

For some reason even I don't fully understand I decided to have a look at this blog. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I was still on here as a participant. You really should do something about that.

I have been missing the mass along with many other people and have struggled with daily prayers. I had even taken to walking over to the church at midday to say the Angelus. Just for the record I had been accustomed to receiving communion on the tongue according to the current rubrics. Sadly, kneeling is somewhat of a problem unless I have something solid to hold on to. I am fortunate to be able to genuflect at all, though I imagine that too will pass.

I am grateful that I have been able to return to mass, though I find the procedures somewhat irritating. Since I am in a prime risk group and I wish to go to mass, I put up with it.  I have had one or two encounters with parishioners who just wanted to get a bit too close. I find that from my shoulder to the tip of my cane measures five feet and at least one of these parishioners has ended up staring at the end of my cane. So far no one has attempted to confiscate my cane at the door.

I have received communion in the hand and fumbled with my mask in the process. It was awkward but after such a long fast I was extremely grateful. Confession was more of a problem but I was able to get to a neighboring parish with a friendly pastor. Monthly trips to St. Patrick's will have to wait.

A great tragedy in all of this is the number of people who have died without any access to the sacraments. I will remember them in my prayers.

BREAKING: Cardinal Collins' pretext for enforced Holy Communion in the hand has just been exposed as a fraud!

The pretext Thomas Cardinal Collins, has given us for his illegal and illicit ban on Holy Communion on the tongue is based on alleged advice from "medical authorities".

But there is a huge problem with the Cardinal’s reasoning. The problem is this: within the Province of Ontario, in the Archdiocese of Kingston, Holy Communion on the tongue is granted. Therefore the pretext that Holy Communion must be received in the hand for health reasons collapses. 

It has been exposed as a complete fraud. 

The following is a screenshot from the Archdiocese of Kingston showing a Catholic solution: 

It is time that Cardinal Collins tells us what the real motivation behind this illegal and immoral ban is. It is time he publicly apologizes to Our Lord for abusing Catholics' rights and repents. With each passing day, outrages are taking place, priests' consciences are being abused, the faithful are cast into outer darkness. The Cardinal is the Cardinal, but he has entered into rebellion (as Rome has ruled on this matter), he has committed graves injustices, and he is abusing his authority. 

UPDATE: Cardinal Collins has gone on the record that he has been threatened and bullied by Toronto Public Health with closure of churches if he did not comply with their illegal and unconstitutional takeover of Catholic Liturgy. 

CORONA COMMUNION KIOSK ~ Get your Plexiglass "Covid Mass" kiosk

The Corona Communion Kiosk  

The new Rite of the "Covid Mass" continues to evolve. Today, we present the sacrilegious  "Corona Communion Kiosk" that is being used in all parishes in the Diocese of Victoria, B. C.

Step right up to the eucharistic picnic

Bishop Gary Gordon (or, as he likes to be called: "Bish") has decided that the priest/presbyter will place the Host on the hand of the Communicant through an opening in a large Plexiglass panel. 

Welcome to the sacrilegious Covid Mass 

From Gordon's Liturgical Directives:

As there will be a small number of parishioners (below 50), only the priest/presider will distribute Communion, which will be distributed on the hand only. 

The priest/presider is to use hand sanitizer after receiving his own Communion and prior to the distribution to others.

Hand sanitizer is to be utilized at the end of the distribution of communion, and any time the fingers of the priest/presider touch the hand of a communicant. 

The priest/presider will stand behind a clear Plexiglas screen (provided to all the parishes by the Diocese) which will need to be installed on a table at the front of the aisle for the parishioners to present their hands for communion. 

All parishioners will be invited to come forward at Communion in single file, while maintaining social distancing guides provided on the floor. 

Those who do not receive communion and desire a blessing are welcome to come forward, as one does for communion. The priest/presider must not touch the individuals and maintain the safe distance rule of 2 meters.

Dear friends, we have entered upon a period of satanic profanation of the Real Presence of Christ, led by the very men who should be defending the Real Presence as the Greatest Gift of God.  

These men are trying to hoist on the Faithful outrages that are unthinkable, outrages that openly mock the Divine Majesty in the Holy Eucharist. 

THE COVID MASS: Today marks the beginning of a New Rite of Mass

This Sunday marks the debut of yet ANOTHER "Rite" of Mass. I shall call it the "Covid Mass" as eager and content attendees are "Covidites"; followers of the new religion of control, manipulation, intimidation, and fear mongering. 

The main theological innovation at the "Covid Mass" is mandated reception of Holy Communion in the hand.  

For further liturgical innovations explore your local diocese's website. 

A radical break with Catholic doctrine, The "COVID MASS" involves local public health authorities, and anonymous "medical authorities"  as theological and liturgical consultants. The religion (or no religion) of the consultant is of no interest to the local Bishop, as we are "all in this together". Except of course the vulnerable elderly being killed off with the virus thanks to the success of the enforced three month lockdown. 

So, as our Prelates continue to drone on about the virus "rampaging through our community" (Cardinal Collins). 

I ask: are you ready for your "Covid Mass"? Are you ready to join in the fun? 

The following photos were taken early this morning at Fr. Aidan McNutty's "Franciscan Flyers of the Annulment" parish, "Holy Smoke", with the "Covid Mass" special guest Presider, Archbishop Rupert Weakling leading the celebration. 

"Welcome to our eucharistic picnic"

Archbishop Lenga: The coronavirus is being used to break Catholics' consciences regarding reception of Holy Communion

"Communion in the hand is part of a diabolical attack on the Eucharist" 

H. E. Robert Cardinal Sarah

His Grace, Archbishop Jan Pawel Lenga
Defender of the Faith 

His Grace, Archbishop Jan Pawel Lenga spoke at length on SARS-CoV2 in late March; especially on its spiritual implications. Here in this video (English subtitles), he excoriates bishops and priests in their abandonment of the faithful during the lockdown. 

Catholics returning to churches to find their Ordinaries (such as here in Toronto under Cardinal Collins) enforcing an illegal and immoral ban on Holy Communion on the tongue would do well to listen and meditate on the implications of this evil practice.


Please watch the following outstanding video  (English subtitles) on why Holy Communion in the hand is sacrilege: 

Cardinal Collins Just Reduced a Catholic Lady to Tears

This morning I witnessed the tragic reality of a Catholic lady being refused Holy Communion. Her "crime" was to request reception in the Catholic manner: on the tongue. 

Tears were in her eyes, as we spoke after Mass. The dear lady was heart broken, on the Feast of the Scared Heart. She spoke of the bishops in this manner: "they are acting worse than atheists. Do they not fear for their souls?..."

Good Catholic priests have their hands bound by a Cardinal, who is, let us be clear, abusing his authority. 

This tragedy stems from Cardinal Collins' canonically illegal edict "banning" Holy Communion on the tongue:  

Upon the strong recommendation of medical authorities, Holy Communion is received only in the hand at this time. (Since each communicant has the right to receive communion either on the tongue or in the hand, the traditional practice of the option of receiving on the tongue will be restored as soon as the public health situation allows for that). Communicants are instructed to remove their masks, using the straps and without touching the front of their masks, while the person ahead of them is receiving Holy Communion. 

It should be noted that Holy Communion in the hand was NOT authorized by Premier Doug Ford. In fact, Ontarians can comfort themselves that the Premier (unlike other jurisdictions) is not an anti-Christian bigot, where these bigots have attempted to take upon themselves authority over Christ's Church. 

Let us return to Cardinal Collins' claim that "medical authorities" have convinced him to violate OUR rights as Catholics, and criminally deny Catholics the Holy Eucharist. Contrary to what the Cardinal claims, medical opinion is that it is possible to distribute Holy Communion on the tongue without unreasonable risk. 

But this scandal goes deeper. The deception by the Archdiocese of Toronto is exposed in that the Archdiocese of Vancouver, following Church Law and Catholic common sense is continuing the Catholic norm of Holy Communion on the tongue. 

"The faithful have the right to receive Communion in the hand or on the tongue". 

The full Vancouver document can be read here. 

So we have a problem: the virus is more "deadly" in Toronto. Actually what this really is about is appeasing the elite downtown establishment in Toronto, rather than standing up for Catholic rights. Collins' handlers are telling him how to maintain his public image with the powerful, wealthy, downtown elite and media.

For those Catholics still interested in their rights, and not following along like blind sheep, go here to learn that Cardinal Collins has NO authority whatsoever to do what he is doing. 

As an aside, I wrote to Cardinal Collins three weeks ago. He has not even had the courtesy to reply. Interestingly, His Excellency Bishop Henry of Calgary did reply to an email from Vox Cantoris over the H1N1 Holy Communion Scandal. Bishop Henry is a gentlemen. He was a man who had humility, and eventually God rewarded him with the courage to be the ONLY Canadian Prelate who took an open stand against the aggressive upsurge of fascist paganism in this poor, sad country of Canada.  

So where does all this leave Catholics and their RIGHTS in 2020? Perhaps we need to re-read what Vox Cantoris wrote in 2014 when "they" violated OUR RIGHTS over the H1N1 Holy Communion Scandal:  

Reminiscent of the false flag of H1N1 when many bishops in Canada had the temerity to bow to public health officials and alter liturgical norms and practices....

In a January 6 letter to priests, due to the apparent "escalation in influenza" various "temporary" measures were enacted in addition to the banning of the Body of Christ on the tongue including the elimination of the distribution of the Precious Blood, emptying of Holy Water fonts and the practice of shaking hands at the Peace. 

The reception of Holy Communion at Mass by the people is not mandatory, only the priest celebrant is required to complete the Sacrifice. If the influenza was so serious, then all should have refrained on order of the Archbishop and made a Spiritual Communion which would have come under his authority. The banning of distribution of Holy Communion on the tongue is not within the Archbishop's purview. The Law of the Church provides that it is the norm and it is communion in the hand that is the indult, the exception.

Please pray for this Catholic lady and like so many others, denied the Holy Eucharist. Pray too, that Cardinal Collins will take heed of the cry of the poor, the outcast, and the marginalized. Pray that he hear the weeping of the "daughters of Jerusalem" who wish to be with their Lord. 

Pray that the Church in Toronto cease being the Church of the Abandonment. As the Catholic lady told me, "a thousand bad things happened, but two thousand good things...this crisis has cleared up a lot...it has exposed the bishops for what they really are..."

BREAKING: Cardinal Collins mandates Communion in the hand on the feast of Corpus Christi!

Much to this writer's shock, I have learned through Vox Cantoris that Cardinal Collins, head of the Archdiocese of Toronto. has mandated Communion in the hand throughout his jurisdiction for the time being. This is to respect the wishes of the public medical authorities, and he has promised to restore Communion on the tongue once the medical situation improves.

It is a universal mandate - that is, all Masses (yes, even the Traditional Latin ones) under his eye will be forced to give Communion in the hand at Mass. Priests have also been told to refuse those who want to recieve on the tongue. (The SSPX is exempt from this, and if you are so inclined, head on over there with your wallets wide open in thanksgiving.)

https://www.archtoronto.org/covid19/Documents/Archdiocese%20of%20Toronto%20Return%20to%20Church%20-%20WorshipSafe%20Guidelines%20-%20June%2010%202020.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0taKYCHymLb9u-ckoGUg5CO3umi3AFjE0sCjNOkrJCpQFrn_Gd0wEHpR4

The axe of obedience strikes once again.

That this announcement comes out on the old feast of Corpus Christi (Body of Christ) is egregious.

No, not egregious. Wrong. Sacreligious. One could even say evil. Evil, as in the privation of good. What good can come out of this, when it has been established time and time again that Communion in the hand erodes belief in the Real Presence (as it has been), and that only the priest's consecrated hands are allowed to handle It, barring an emergency? (For the record, no, this is not an emergency. We are not dealing with a church burning down or in danger of being ransacked.) Seriously, what good can come out of this mess?

For the record, I will not be receiving Communion in the hand. I will not even present myself for Communion publicly. I will not be participating in this farce. As for my wallet? I will not be opening it and depositing anything in the collection basket. I am grateful for the resumption of Mass next weekend, of course, but if I must abstain so as to avoid sacrilege, so be it.

I do have some words to say about Cardinal Collins, though.

I will not deny that I am miffed at him, almost to the point of anger. But it is more so frustration and irritation that I am feeling. Despite our reporting on how he intervened in the local Catholic school board's affairs to ensure that the inclusion of rights for transgenders be "viewed through a Catholic lens," I held out hope for him. I expect him to know better. After all, he is well-versed in canon law and is surely aware that the Vatican has reiterated the view that the laity are allowed to receive in the hand - and that no bishop can take that right from us.

Alas, it is a mistake for me to think that way, or presume he is weak. I don't think it was weakness when, during the 2009 H1N1 epidemic, the priests at my local parish instructed us to receive in the hand on his orders. Yes, the same epidemic that led Il Vaticano to reiterate the Church's stance on Communion on the tongue. I don't think it is weakness that has led him to forbid the method of Communicating which has been scientifically demonstrated to be the safer option. I don't know what it is, but I don't think it is weakness.

Suffice to say, I am disappointed in Cardinal Collins' actions on this matter. I see it as a betrayal, what he has done. My patience has worn out.

Now, speaking of Holy Communion.

Today is Corpus Christi. Let us rejoice in this beautiful day and give honour to the Lord of Creation.

BREAKING: TORONTO CHURCHES TO RE-OPEN ON FRIDAY JUNE 12

Premier Doug Ford today announced the day we have long awaited: this coming Friday June 12, 2020 commencing at 12:01 a.m., churches across Ontario will be able to open. The Premier's full Statement can be viewed here.

Catholics joyously await this coming Friday, so that we will once again be able to re-enter our churches.

In his decree today, the Premier announced that churches in the Greater Toronto Area can re-open on Friday, even though the same area is still said to be within "Stage One" of the Ontario SARS-CoV2 reopening Plan. 

Some readers will be aware that the Premier graciously changed the Emergency decree several weeks ago, permitting outdoor religious services after he was contacted by those who still believe in Our Lord's Divinity. We need to be thankful that we do not have an anti-Christian as our highest elected Official. 

The ONLY two Catholic parishes that signed the Petition at "Re-Open Ontario Churches" were the Ukrainian Catholic Parish of St. Elias the Prophet in Brampton, and St. Anthony's of Oakville (Polish). Very interesting.  They were joined by a number of Eastern Orthodox churches, even a Synagogue. But NO other Catholic churches. That tells me all I need to know. Well, as the Archdiocese of Toronto so "eloquently" articulated the other week: they are in "no rush" to re-open. Well, the Premier gave the green light, lets see what happens. 

Friends: you know what to do. Keep YOUR wallets and purses firmly SHUT. If you have pastors who still take the Faith seriously like those from St. Elias and St. Anthony, by all means support them! You MUST support them. But be careful. Be very careful as to whom you give your money to.

The world may forget, I shall NEVER forget

The inconsistency of Archbishop Wilton Gregory

On Tuesday, American president Donald J. Trump visited the Saint John Paul II Shrine in Washington, D.C. with his wife Melania, both to pay their respects to the man and issue an executive order on religious freedom in the United States.

This visit had been planned for months, long before the riots currently underway in America began.

Despite this, D.C. Archbishop Wilton Gregory strongly condemned the President's action in a statement, even going so far as to call it "baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles."

Leaving aside the mere absurdity of the statement - Gregory has time to compose an attack against his President while he could be working to implement measures to reopen the churches under his jurisdiction? - I want to note that Wilton Gregory is not being consistent.

In late September last year, pro-abortion journalist Cokie Roberts died and was given a grand Catholic funeral Mass at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, the Catholic cathedral in Washington, D.C. Gregory presided at that Mass, despite the clear statements from the Church that anyone who promotes abortion in a public fashion is automatically excommunicated, and does not have the dignity of a Catholic funeral. At that Mass, he waxed glowingly about Roberts, calling her an "extraordinary, professional servant of the truth, [who] believed in God's word ... accepted it and fashioned her life around that word."

At that same Mass, well-known Catholic pro-abortionist Nancy Pelosi gave a similarly glowing eulogy about Roberts, where she called the deceased "a national treasure."

Archbishop Gregory, where was the bafflement and reprehensibility when Nancy Pelosi "so egregiously misused and manipulated" the Catholic lectern "in a fashion that violates our religious principles?"

Where was it then? Why is the outrage and disgust only coming out now? (I need not mention that you failed then to extend those same sentiments to yourself.)

You're not being consistent, Archbishop Gregory. One could even call you a hypocrite.

As for President Trump, I note that he has been expressing a growing appreciation towards S. John Paul II for some months. I suspect Melania is working on him, similar to how S. Monica worked on S. Augustine. In all likelihood, he could become Catholic at some point in his life.

When Trump dies, it could very well be that he is greeted with a hearty "well-done" while Gregory and Pelosi are denied that same grace.

May God bless Donald J. Trump, and offer the chance of repentance to Wilton Gregory and Nancy Pelosi.

Rest in peace, Fr. Robinson

Much to the sorrow of the faithful in Toronto and the international Oratory community, the Toronto Oratory has announced the passing of Rev. Fr. Jonathan Robinson, Provost of the Toronto Oratory and their founder, into eternity.

He had taken a nasty fall on St. Philip's Day (26 May) and was placed in Toronto's St. Joseph's Hospital. He passed on in his room at between 9:30 and 10am this morning, as related by Fr. Marco at the Usus Antiquor Mass held at the Oratory today.

I was not fortunate enough to know him, though those who did spoke well of him and his kindness.

May God rest his soul, and welcome him into His Kingdom, wiping away his tears and turning his sorrows into joy.

Rest in peace, Father Robinson.

Rev. Fr. Jonathan Robinson

Founder and Provost of the Toronto Oratory
