125 Days and Counting on the Archdiocese of Toronto's Holy Communion "Ban"

Catholics praying outside a CLOSED Church in communist China

Today marks 125 days since the Archdiocese of Toronto banned the reception of Holy Communion according to ordinary form. Its canonical illegality has been much discussed, and this post is but a reminder and a prediction.

A Reminder

 

On March 17, 2020 all Masses were banned in the Archdiocese. From downtown Toronto to little hamlets, two hours drive and more away, every church was boarded up. A small, but dynamic group of Christians during this time began to petition the Ontario government to reopen churches. It is VERY significant that the Archdiocese of Toronto was NOT part of this group.

When churches were reopened with limited capacity, Toronto Public Health (under the authority of Toronto City Council, via the Toronto Board of Health) officials de facto overthrew (via threats of church closure) the local supreme authority in the Catholic Church (Cardinal Collins) and have assumed control over Catholic religious/liturgical practice by unconstitutionally encroaching on religious practice and "banning" Holy Communion on the tongue.

A Prediction: We are not going to see Toronto Public Health's illegal edict lifted until a vaccine or vaccines are produced. This effectively means that many of us will not be able to fulfill our Easter Duty. We are absolved of this Duty, as the pastors of the Church are bound by the Law of the Church to give Holy Communion to any Catholic in the State of Grace who requests it. I hope I am wrong in my prediction, but don't think I will be. It may well be that some of us will not be able to receive Holy Communion for well over a year...perhaps even longer.

The 26 Martyrs of Japan are examples of fidelity to Christ

Please pray for Cardinal Collins, our bishops, priests that they stand up for Christ, His Church, and the God-given rights of Catholics.

Please also pray for those Christians who are not in full unity with the See of Peter, but are standing up for Christ. Russian Orthodox Archbishop Kirill of San Francisco wrote a powerful Letter to Governor Gavin Newsom stating that his new violent measures against religion were eerily similar to those of the Soviet Union.

The Archbishop noted that Newsom's actions are "...open discrimination, hypocrisy and the infringement of our religious rights, prompting us to recall the era of godless persecutions in the USSR". Newsom has yet to reply to the Archbishop. Has your bishop taken a stand?

Another interesting case is that of "Pastor" John MacArthur of Sun Valley, California who defied the draconian measures of Newsom last Sunday and kept his church open. He faces the real possibility of going to jail. He is 81 years of age. MacArthur certainly is a heretic, but at least he believes enough in the Divinity of Our Lord to stand against an unjust edict that violates Christ's Law. Has your bishop shown faith in Our Lord's Divinity to stand publicly against unjust edicts, to even risk going to jail?

We, as Catholics must take as our models the martyrs, the defenders of the Faith. Let us recall the Japanese Catholics, who, without priests and under severe persecution from the State held the Faith for hundreds of years. They must be our example.

Watch the "BANNED: video "FRONTLINE DOCTORS ON HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE" right here! We do NOT censor scientific debate

Here is the "banned" video

Showing this video does not mean that I agree with everything in it. I do NOT. There is at present absolutely NO evidence that hydroxychloroquine heals from COVID-19. Evidence is emerging that it may work as a prophylactic and may prevent the development of  COVID in EARLY stages. But that is NOT a cure.

Stella Emmanuel detracted from the quality of the video by claiming that she has "cured" over 300 COVID patients. Science demands evidence. You cannot just make a claim. She must produce the evidence. Indeed, if this combination was a cure do we not think that Pfizer would be out there promoting the Z-Pac for all as a prophylactic?

For all this should the video be BANNED? Absolutely not.

In doing so, Youtube only furthers the politicization of the virus, and exacerbates irrationality, fear, conflict, and lack of critical thinking.

On the other hand, perhaps they pulled it for those VERY REASONS?

Meanwhile don't forget: "All publications TO BE CLEARED through this office."

And while "they" were busy banning the video, "they" took down the "America's Frontline Doctors" website.

Star Trek and Coronavirus? Was the Klingon Totalitarian System the Inspiration for Worldwide Lockdowns?

Reality can be stranger than fiction, even science fiction. Was the attempted military takeover of the planet Organia, by the totalitarian Klingon Empire in the Star Trek episode, "Errand of Mercy", a source of inspiration for governments in imposing dystopian worldwide lock downs and civil liberty violations?

The following quotations, so eerily familiar, are actually not drawn from your public health official, politician, or media mouthpiece. They are quotations from Commander Kor, the Military Governor of Organia.

"...there are many rules and regulations..."

"Violation of the smallest will be  punished..."

"From this day on NO PUBLIC ASSEMBLAGES of more than THREE people."

"All publications TO BE CLEARED through this office."

"Neighbourhood CONTROLS will be established..."

"...a somewhat lengthy list of CRIMES against the State."

Protestants defend Catholics, whilst Bishops remain SILENT

Communist rioters in Portland, Oregon

We are living in revolutionary times. In the United States, as I have written before, a communist revolution is underway. This revolution has been simmering for decades. It is Jacobin inspired that seeks the complete destruction of Christianity. The hidden hand that controls this movement is very much aware that the first enemy is the Catholic Church. And when they have finished with the Catholic Church....

It is tragic, but not surprising that the American Catholic Hierarchy has distinguished itself by a near virtual silence on the demonically inspired attacks on Catholic churches and Statues.

But not all are silent. Here we present two separated brethren who are strongly exposing and denouncing these vicious attacks.

A stray thought on the Bishops' response to the coronavirus pandemic

Looking over Barona's posts for the last month and a bit, this writer wonders if the pandemic had happened in the 1940s, would the local Bishops have stood firm against the government instead of turning tail and running in the opposite direction?

Just a stray thought.

By their fruits ye shall know them.

Public Health Officials: Sex Perverts? "make it a little kinky....masturbate together..."

B.C Health promoting every possible perversion

Whilst essential medical care for cancer and cardio illnesses have been cancelled since March (which will lead to very serious spikes in premature deaths, as has been honestly conceded in other countries), with millions unemployed, suicide and psychological illnesses soaring, public health officials in the United States and Canada (and I am sure all over the "West") are busy telling their citizens to engage in masturbation,  sodomy, the use of "glory holes", and engage in various other sexual perversions. No surprise that these people do not consider the worship of God as "essential". To them, man is merely a lustful brute with no soul, no humanity.

Here we present "advice" from New York City, Toronto, British Columbia (see above)/Vancouver, and even Ottawa's advice for prostitutes.

New Yorkers are encouraged to engage in  "...sexting, subscription-based fan platforms, sexy Zoom parties...make it a little kinky...masturbate together...walls that allow sexual contact while preventing close face to face contact...". NYC Public Health also has the following advice:" Consider getting a swab or saliva test for COVID-19 on a more frequent basis (monthly or within five to seven days of a hookup)".

Torontonians are told: "consensual sex can...help pass the time when isolated indoors..."."...if you usually meet partners online, are polyamorous consider video dating, sexting, or chat rooms...". Toronto Public Health adds: "ABORTION CLINICS REMAIN OPEN IN TORONTO...". Of course they do! But churches were closed.....

Prostitutes in Ottawa are being told: "...you must do what you can to stay safe and keep working...". But you can catch COVID "If your trick is sick". However, "...have your date wash their hands and wear a mask...consider implementing a no-kissing with your clients."

Masturbation is being pushed in a big way. A so-called psychologist has even written: "...forward-thinking clergy, healthcare professionals, and educators even advise modern parents to encourage their children to do so (typically in private), in the hope of raising sexually healthy adolescent...". 

Are you still in doubt that these same people threatened our weak and ineffectual religious leaders? Are you still in doubt that they would like to see our churches closed? And let us be very honest - permanently (they would like to see Christianity disappear, as Christian morality is at complete odds with their materialist conception of life, which they openly oppose).

 

Friends, how do you think God views all of this?

Where there is NO repentance, NO confession of SIN, NO public acts of reparation, the wrath of God will be poured out. God will NOT be mocked.

We must NOT wait for our "leaders", our Pope, our bishops, our politicians. Leadership, if it was to come, would have come already. These men are SILENT.

We must take the lead now. We must reform our lives, confess our sins, repent, and make acts of reparation.

Toronto Public Health's attack on Religious Freedom: "SUSPEND all communion related activities..."

We have written and commented on the illegal and unconstitutional activities of Toronto Public Health (itself an appendage of the Board of Health, as appointed by the leftist Toronto City Council). Toronto Public Health does not have the authority to impose a ban on Holy Communion. In fact, its own Guidelines refer back to the Guidelines issued by Ontario Public Health (which it, in turn must be interpreted according the Law, O. Reg. 52/20). The Law is specific: 

Indoor wedding, funeral or religious service, rite or ceremony

6. (1) This section applies with respect to gatherings for the purposes of a wedding, a funeral or a religious service, rite or ceremony if the gathering is held in a building or structure other than a private dwelling.

(2) Clause 2 (1) (c) does not apply to a person who attends a gathering to which this section applies if the following conditions are met:

1. The persons conducting the wedding, funeral, service, rite or ceremony must ensure that the number of persons occupying any room in the building or structure while attending the gathering does not exceed 30 per cent of the capacity of the particular room.

2. All persons attending the gathering must remain at least two metres apart from each other and from persons conducting the wedding, funeral, service, rite or ceremony unless they are members of the same household.

3. The persons conducting the wedding, funeral, service, rite or ceremony must ensure that it is conducted in compliance with the advice, recommendations and instructions of public health officials, including any advice, recommendations or instructions on physical distancing, cleaning or disinfecting.

4. The persons conducting the wedding, funeral, service, rite or ceremony must ensure that any washrooms that have been made available to persons attending the gathering are cleaned and disinfected as frequently as is necessary to maintain a sanitary environment.

There is NO mention of Holy Communion. Public health officials are given authority ONLY over "physical distancing, cleaning or disinfecting". In fact, we know this is true as other jurisdictions outside of Toronto are distributing Holy Communion in the traditional manner and they are NOT being raided by the police. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for any government, or a proxy bureaucrat to change, alter, or in any way revise religious rites, as they pertain to religious practice. The government may legislate that "EXIT" signs must be placed in buildings that have public access (such as churches, mosques, temples and synagogues) but they NO RIGHT to directly or indirectly interfere, obstruct or change (either in addition or detraction) in ANY manner with the religious rites themselves. Ontarians are blessed with Premier Doug Ford who is neither an anti-Christian or anti-religious bigot. 

Nonetheless, the Ontario Law has not incommoded rogue bureaucrats, such as those from Toronto Public Health, from using psychological intimidation and threats of closure against local Churches. They have their guns specifically aimed at Latin-Rite Catholics and the Greek Orthodox. Cardinal Collins himself said on video that he was BULLIED by Toronto Public Health into banning reception of Holy Communion in the normal manner (that is, on the tongue). 

The Russian Orthodox Archbishop of San Francisco has denounced this persecution of religion that is now worldwide, (such as the horrors who govern California, Illinois, and Michigan) comparing it to Soviet-era oppression and tactics. How tragic that the vast majority of Catholic bishops have remained silent. Alas, we know that they are silent as they are taking billions from Caesar. They have been joined by "rapture" Darbyite sects who have long ago betrayed Jesus Christ.

Once again, let there be no mistake. The City of Toronto issued a "ban", but also knew that its ban could easily be litigated as illegal. Therein lies the rub. Within this context of a very secular city, a very hard-left dominated City Council, an aggressive media that is virulently anti-Christian, the Cardinal decided to dispense with defending religious liberty and took the now proverbial knee. Bowing to their pressure, he stripped Catholics of their rights, and set a dangerous precedent for State meddling in religious ceremonies. 

What could be next? The State changing texts, State approved religious services in the interests of "public harmony and diversity"? Do not be naive into thinking it can't happen. Freedom of speech already does not exist in Canada, and freedom of religion is next. 

COVID CASH: Follow the Money: how the Catholic Church in Canada has SOLD Her Independence to the State

"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 Truth and COVID and the Lockdowns

Do NOT listen to your politicians, do NOT listen to your public health officials (beholden and placed in their positions in nearly all instances by hard-left Boards of Health), LISTEN to scientists who are NOT beholden to politicians, bureaucrats, the media...

One voice of sanity is Dr. Scott Atlas of Standford.

Archbishop Kyrill: California's new laws "recall the era of godless persecutions in the USSR"

Open Letter to The Honourable Gavin Newsom, Governor of California

from His Eminence Kyrill Archbishop of San Francisco and Western America

in light of the decree issued by the Governor of California that forbids choral singing in churches

Your Excellency,

I hereby express my protest against the recent prohibition of liturgical singing in houses of worship, which is an infringement of the rights and religious freedoms of the clergy and faithful of the Western American Diocese of the Russian Diaspora, the other Local Orthodox Churches, performing their ministry in this state, as well as other religious bodies.

During the years of Soviet rule, when the Russian Orthodox Church was subjected to persecution, Russian émigrés and their descendants comprising the Russia Church Abroad, came to the United States of America and other countries overseas, in order to freely confess their Orthodox Faith, to freely perform Divine Services, to observe the feast days, fasts and all the customs established by the Orthodox Church. In this manner, they followed the example of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, who sought the possibility of freely confessing their faith.

From the very beginning of the current global outbreak of the coronavirus the clergy and faithful of our Diocese, desiring to preserve the health of the population and stop the spread of the coronavirus, and respecting those in power, rigorously strove to adhere to all the standard norms and restrictions introduced by local health authorities. Even though they were deprived of the reverent Divine Services of Great Lent and the joyous celebration of the Triumph of the Holy Resurrection, our parishioners were sympathetic to our directives, attending our churches “virtually.” However, we now observe a contradiction in that mass protests take place everywhere, at which absolutely all precautions are violated with impunity. Yet, liturgical singing performed during the Divine Services and while observing all of the rules, is forbidden. This is open discrimination, hypocrisy and the infringement of our religious rights, prompting us to recall the era of godless persecutions in the USSR.

Nonetheless, we will continue to pray with gratitude “for this land, its authorities and armed forces,” and “for this city, every city and country and all who in faith dwell therein.” Yet, at the same time, we will defend the rights of our clergy and our parishioners who possess full citizenship in the United States of America.

+KYRILL

Archbishop of San Francisco and Western America
Secretary of the Synod of Bishops of the Russian Church Abroad

July 2020

Friends, the stakes cannot be any higher. If Newsom does NOT answer, and revoke the unjust laws, then it means he concedes guilt. What we are seeing, under a false pretext of "saving lives" and "health" (remember these same people who claim to love life fanatically promote abortion) is really a sleight of hand undertaking to muzzle, drive into penury, and silence Christians. Pray for the Archbishop, pray for his faithful, pray for the repentance and conversion of the persecutors. Would that a Catholic bishop have the courage of Archbishop Kyrill. Alas, it is not to be. 

If your bishop or archbishop is under similar totalitarian orders and he has acquiesced, then pray for him to attain the courage to stand up and reclaim the rights of the Church and the faithful to worship God. 

Here in the Archdiocese of Toronto, a vicious persecution is underway (as in California singing has been "banned"). Readers from the United States and further afoot need to be aware that both the Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church (perhaps because the Premier of Ontario is a personal friend of the Archbishop?) have been threatened and persecuted by Mayor John Tory (in America he would be a leftist Democrat Mayor, just so you know what we have here) and his hard-left dominated Council and the politicized, hard-left Toronto Board of Health (which controls Toronto Public Health). These entities operate under the control of City Council. 

It is interesting to note that Catholic school Trustee Ida Li Preti sits on this Board of Health, as recommended in a letter to John Tory (dated December 7, 2018) from the then Chairwoman Maria Rizzo of the Toronto Catholic District School Board. Li Preti and Rizzo both are known to openly dissent against Catholic moral teachings, and could be described as politically belonging to the hard-left. Other hard-left extremists include Gord Perks, Joe Cressy, Mike Layton, and Kristyn Wong-Tam. Li Preti is perfect fit with these people. 

Li Preti's humble "bio" in which she not afraid to confess publicly her Catholic Faith 

These are the people that Cardinal Collins has surrendered to. But all is not lost, I am aware that other Christians, both those in full communion with the See of Peter, and those in Eastern Orthodox churches have had the courage NOT  to acquiesce to these ungodly demands. 

I am also aware that many separated brethren of  the protestant communities have also refused to bow to Caesar's unjust demands. May God bless them for their bravery and righteousness. 

I denounced the unjust and illegitimate actions when they were imposed here in Ontario and Toronto, and I hereby denounce them again. 

Silence is NO longer an option. 

I call upon ALL CATHOLICS to join with our Orthodox brothers and sisters in denouncing and rejecting this attack on the open confession and praise of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

If you remain silent you have united yourself in your treachery to Satan. 

In your ignorance, you have been played as a fool, and handed over your God-given right and DUTY to be in His PRESENCE and to WORSHIP the LIVING GOD. 

Repent if you were fooled and silent. Speak up! However if you continue to remain silent, you have either lost the faith or are well on the way to losing it. You no longer understand and realize that God is truly and substantially present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in our churches in the Blessed Sacrament awaiting our adoration. 

And our bishops: when the State shut our churches, when these same bishops fell over themselves boarding the churches up: did they bless the city with the Blessed Sacrament? Did they, in solemnity, take the Blessed Sacrament about our cities blessing us? 

Or were they in hiding, under their beds, being waited upon by underlings? Friends, God always draws good out of evil: He has exposed these men, He has shown us who the true friends of the faithful are. 

Wake up! Stop slumbering along in your delusions, stop thinking these men are standing up for the Faith before a godless generation. 

Don't be like them! Stop your foolishness, stop hiding under your bed. 

Live your life. Live like a freeman. 

Stop living like a slave. 

Be a Christian. 

The "NEW RELIGION" of Ideology over Science triumphed through FEAR and PANIC

Toronto Mayor, John Tory wearing the "Red Star" of the "new religion" 

Fear and panic are two "anti-virtues" taught by the "benevolent" Oracles of the "new religion" of Ideology and pseudoscience. With this fear and panic  being preached in Toronto, so it was in the late afternoon of that fateful day of March 24th (henceforth "COVID-24"), that Cardinal Collins informed us via an "edict": effective immediately, every church in the Archdiocese would be shuttered up. That also meant those churches two hours plus drive out of downtown Toronto. That meant the little church in every hamlet boarded up tight. Not only the suppression of all Masses, but NO private prayer. Hence, NO Christian would be permitted into the PRESENCE of the LIVING GOD in the Most Holy Eucharist. 

These draconian measures were being enforced for a new "Black Death" was upon us, and the "benevolent high priests" of the "new religion" were going to  "save us". 

Upwards of 100,000 Ontarians were going to die without such measures, so prophesied "High Priest" Peter Donnelly of Public Health Ontario. The "new religion" reigned supreme in the hearts of not only public health officials, but equally in the hearts of politicians, churchmen and the lay faithful, all seemingly terrified of death, and willing to "hold the red star proudly high in hand" as a sign of devotion to the "priests" of this "new religion". 

DO NOT question the Wisdom of the "priests"

Manipulated by his "handlers", and intimidated illegally and unconstitutionally by Toronto Public Health officials, Cardinal Collins bowed to the "priests", and dutifully reported to the sheep that the benevolent "priests" were now caring for the flock. As the "priests" proclaimed in song: "...all the gifts of life are held within our walls". The true Gift of Life was NOT the REAL PRESENCE of the LIVING GOD awaiting to be adored, but now in the pronouncements of these self-proclaimed Oracles.  

The tragic, intimidated Cardinal Collins
before the power of "priests" of the "new religion" 

Contrary to what the "priests" and their devout political acolytes are proclaiming, the EVIDENCE indicates that the IFR is 0.26%; IFR for <60 years of age with no preconditions is EQUAL to Seasonal Influenza (0.1%). Since early May, JAMA (Pediatrics) published EVIDENCE that Seasonal Flu was actually MORE dangerous to children than COVID-19 (known amongst Catholic devotees of the "new religion" as "COVID-24"). Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria, re-opened nearly TWO months ago, and there has been NO statistically significant change in the death rate. 

But how did we get where we are in Canada, and how did "they" get away with it? Simply: FEAR. Terror and panic swept through the population in late March, and the vast majority more than eagerly hailed the "priests" dogma of  a complete lockdown. When our churches were boarded up indiscriminately due to "COVID-24" there was SILENCE, for the lay faithful already hankered for  the "new religion". They became adherents and placed their faith in the lockdown dogma. There was no opposition, no calls that a blanket lockout was irrational and NOT EVIDENCE based. Common sense, logic, science had been ousted by Ideology. The people's minds, turned to mush with fear, easily capitulated to the "priests" who re-educated them in how to think and behave. Life was taken over by the "priests" of the "new religion".

Public health officials have morphed into "priests", imposing their "new religion"

With our churches boarded up, the Archdiocese of Toronto prostrated itself before these self-anointed "high priests". Yes you read that correctly: OUR CHURCHES. Paid for, and built by the widow's mite. Vox Cantoris wrote a de facto open letter to the bishops on March 17th when yet very little was known about the virus that there was still a common sense solution. I suspect these churchmen were already well into planning a lockdown and had no time for common sense, rational thinking. Thus it was that a week to the day "COVID-24" was proclaimed to the faithful, and under this pretext the churches were boarded up. Catholics were BANNED from being in the PRESENCE of the LIVING GOD to offer worship to Him. 

I opposed their actions then, and as the EVIDENCE became clearer and clearer that the virus was no where close to the false information being issued by the WHO, I continued to OPPOSE it, and called for a re-opening of our churches and economy. I stand to be corrected, but on that fateful March 24th I may have been the only voice denouncing the indiscriminate, irrational locking down of our churches in the Archdiocese of Toronto. I again denounced this outrage in early April. Sadly, Catholics, intoxicated with terror, eagerly drank of the spiritual poison disseminated by the "priests", and happily accepted the closing of churches and loss of civil liberties to "save lives". As Dr. Scott Altas of Standford has pointed out, churches never needed to be closed. Meanwhile throughout the entirety of this "pandemic": abortion mills, liquor, beer, and pot shops (briefly shut then re-opened) remained open. It was, according to the dogmas of the "new religion" simply safer to buy liquor or get an abortion than to pray in the PRESENCE of the LIVING GOD. 

The Archdiocese of Toronto outdid itself to prove its loyalty to Toronto Public Health and even closed cemeteries; going so far as to station police to repulse the few faithful who were still trying to pray at the gravesides of their families. I know of a Catholic lady who was told she could not pray by her recently deceased daughter's grave. How evil and heartless are these adherents of the "new religion".  

The terror had gripped so many Catholics, that it was clear sailing into "Dystopia" for the Archdiocese of Toronto. It logically ended up in the public health officials taking over Catholic liturgy, as was recently admitted by Cardinal Collins. This OUTRAGEOUS abuse has been met by Catholics with barely a whimper. We now have learnt that Toronto Public Health has also turned its guns on the Archdiocese of the Greek Orthodox Church in Toronto. 

When His Grace, Archbishop Vigano and a number of brave Prelates published an Open Letter challenging the technocratic globalism and tyranny of this "new religion", it too was met with SILENCE from the vast majority of Catholics (INCLUDING many of those who claim to be "traditional". Yes, the "priests" of the "new religion" had discovered a secret weapon: the "traditionalists" feared death more than God; they too, were at heart liberals and indistinguishable from their co-religionists. What is known as  "fifties-ism" (or "Bing Crosby Catholicism") had done its work and rotted even "traditional" Catholics' minds.  

Why think? Let the "priests" think for you. They love you, and want take care of you

So here we are THREE and a HALF MONTHS later and counting, and the insanity, the dystopia, the foolishness just gets worse and worse. 

On Sunday the 5th of July, Catholics were being told they need to wear masks in churches thanks to Mayor John Tory's (American readers think "urban progressive") new By-Law mandating mandatory face masks in Toronto. This being a complete reversal from March and April, when Toronto hospitals were BANNING hospital staff from wearing masks, due to "frightening" patients. One begins to see the arbitrariness of this "religion", and its socio-political implications. 

Given the statistics in Toronto, this new By-Law is completely irrational. However, it is  "rational" if one is promoting a "new religion", and the "mask", rather than being used for those who have pre-existing conditions, becomes degraded into a symbol of this macabre farce. Perversely the "priests" are actually demeaning the necessary and serious use of a mask for medical pre-conditions. Now we all have "pre-conditions", as it is, in the words of the song:"... its one for all and all for one...equality our stock in trade, come and join the brotherhood of man". 

We ask: if churches are enforcing strict social distancing rules, why the masks? And if all are wearing masks, why the distancing? Needless to say John Tory's Toronto is not one for following empirical science, objective reality. Tragically, the entire City Council voted unanimously for this madness.

An examination of the City of Toronto's new "Mask" By-Law includes the following "doctrinal" exemption from mandatory mask-wearing as declared by the "priests": 

People who require accommodation in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code.

John Tory and his "urban progressive" gang do not explain what this means, nor do they and their political appointee medical "experts" explain how the killer virus (so they keep preaching) will not jump to or from an infected person who is being "accommodated" for "human rights" purposes. It is not so much masks in the name of science, but muzzles in the name of ideology. Here the City follows the "priests" doctrine: "never need to wonder how or why". 

Such is the lunacy. Such is the madness. Such is the devotion to the "new religion". This is what happens when you elect immoral and irrational people to public office.

Three and a half months later, if you are still SILENT, you can no longer claim ignorance as defense. SILENCE NOW MEANS CONSENT. 

Cardinal Collins on St. John Fisher and the Persecution of Christians by the State

Catholic worship according to the dictates of Toronto Public Health 

On March 22, 2012 Cardinal Collins having been just made a Cardinal by then Pope Benedict XVI, spoke the following words about Christian witness in the face of persecution and even the possibility of martyrdom. 

May he recall his words, his advice, and his warnings.

Pray for Cardinal Collins in the face of this subtle, but brutal persecution, from Toronto City Council and Toronto Public Health.

Wake up blind Christians: The State IS Persecuting the Church

Gavin Ashenden discusses the very grave, spiritual, social, and political implications of the State closing of our churches. Ashenden outlines the argument that the State - at the very least - violated the civil liberties of churches to conduct religious services. The example he gives is that supermarkets remained open, whilst churches were closed. 

Ashenden develops the theological reasons as to why the State did NOT have the right to impose a blanket, universal closure of churches. This is not rendering to Caesar what is Caesar's, as Caesar does NOT have power over the Church. As Ashenden says we should "smell evil" when hearing the argument of universal church closure.  

The closing of churches WAS a DIABOLICAL attack on the Blessed Sacrament. 

The government told us we do NOT have the right to worship, to adore, to be in the PRESENCE of the LIVING GOD. 

This surrender, this silence can only be explained by a loss of faith. Nothing else can explain a Catholic's acceptance of the State banning them from being in the PRESENCE of the LIVING GOD. 

Watch and learn. Pray and think. Please no longer remain SILENT. 

You now have to answer the question: do YOU serve Christ or Caesar?
