Crisis, what crisis? The Archdiocese of Toronto in ruins

Usually on Victoria Day I note the late Monarch and Canada's links to the Motherland. Sadly, this day, we have far greater concerns, as we must gaze into the future, and not look to the past.  

The future of the Archdiocese of Toronto does not look bright. The impending financial disaster (the concern of the Chancery officials, the lawyers, the moneybags, and the adventurists) is but the result of a lack of Faith, a timidity before aggressive secularism, and the result of a decades long adulterous affair, now transitioning into gang rape of the Church in Canada by the secular authorities, with the tacit approval of the churchmen. 

Here in the Archdiocese the past year has precipitated a paradigm shift on two major fronts: both spelling "disaster". The first and worst catastrophe is the "LGBT" conquest of Catholic education in our schools. The transforming of the classroom into an ideological incubator where innocent children will be instructed in sinful lifestyles and acts that are condemned in Sacred Scripture. Indeed children are being "queered" already in our schools through the use of picture books written by "LGBT" activists with the intended purpose of "transformative queer world-making". The result will be, if not stopped, the effective destruction of the future generation of Catholics. NO Catholics, no church. 

The second is the surrender to the Absolutist State of when and how public worship is to be held, and far worse, the actual surrender of the Sacred Rites of the Church into the hands of godless secular public health authorities. We now have bottom of the barrel graduates from medical school dictating to emasculated prelates the rites and rubrics of the Holy Mass. Incredible.

 Let us now review these two catastrophes, both of which will combine to decimate the Archdiocese of Toronto.

The "LGBT" Conquest of Catholic Education 

Contrary to the lies spread by the dissenting trustees at the school Board (e.g. that approving the "LGBT" agenda is about stopping bullying of youth who might be suffering from same-sex attraction) it really is about doing away the "archaic" notions of divorce and "remarriage, as one dissenting trustee recently stated and enshrining the sexual revolution, including unnatural vice. It is about enshrining and trying to normalize sexual behaviour that is intrinsically evil. Indeed, the same dissenting trustee even admitted they were rejecting doctrine by claiming that the Catechism (authoritatively promulgated by St. Pope John Paul II) is an "old teaching". The Board then reaffirmed that it was not about bullying, but opposing Catholic doctrine, by banning the Catechism from its meetings. This week, I understand that the pro-abortion and "LGBT" extremist, Cheri di Novo will be giving a Zoom conference to Board and staff. Now what could possibly go wrong with a person who advocates same-sex practices? Incredibly, we are faced with deafening silence: and this silence is betrayal. And when statements have been issued, they are weak, effete, miserable attempts to compromise with evil. 

This would be bad enough: the visible, public promotion of an ideology that is diametrically opposed to the Gospels, but it crosses over into a complete catastrophe as Cardinal Collins has opted to not use his apostolic authority to impose sanctions on trustees and school employees who have broken with the Faith. Vague references to a "false christ", to perversion of "reality", to warnings about the spread of evil are useless, unless the Cardinal employs a "laser focus" on the problem (these exact words he used not a couple of weeks ago when referring to St. Francis de Sales' dealing with heresy and error). If there is great evil out there, and evil people destroying society, the destroyers must be named. What is the point of bemoaning the existence of a deadly enemy, but never identifying this enemy so the faithful can avoid and be on guard ? Friends, 2021  is the year that we can say Catholic education ended with the triumphant raising in of the "LGBT" banner over our once Catholic schools. Banners raised without ONE WORD of protest from Cardinal Collins. What a tragic legacy. 

 

 The State's conquest of Catholic Sacred Rites and Public Worship 

Contrary to truth and justice, the official party line of the various "Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporations", including the Toronto variant, run by CEO Thomas Cardinal Collins (seemingly - and incredibly - under day to day operations of layman "Executive Director" Neil MacCarthy) over the past 14 months gave the discredited pretext that our churches are boarded up for the "common good" and out of "love" for our neighbour. How this squares with big box stores (including liquor stores) being open at a vastly greater capacity than churches is never explained. If a big box store can be open safely at 25% capacity, surely a church can? But no, our "very virtuous" pro-abortion and pro-sexual perversion public health authorities deem otherwise. Simply put, these de facto atheists are applying their ideology: religion is a mere figment of the mind and can is deemed "non essential". But surely you might protest, this cannot be so for they are, as Cardinal Collins has claimed: "very virtuous"?

In the face of this great injustice, Cardinal Collins has remained (as have virtually every single bishop in Canada) as silent as a dormouse. He did did peep a couple of months ago, with a letter that was full of fawning and cringing before politicians instead of powerfully proclaiming the rights of Christ's Church. Even so as we Catholics knew from day one when Cardinal Collins boarded up every church in the Archdiocese would happen, the Premier immediately backed down. But something happened: the authorities again ordered massive restrictions on public worship, and Cardinal Collins again surrendered. We have video evidence that the Cardinal lives in terror of churches being shut down. Tragically, this fear is fed by those with whom he surrounds himself. Rather than pick up the phone and inform Doug Ford that churches will be reopening matching big box store capacity, the Cardinal has - once again - imposed a de facto interdict on the Mass. Much of this grovelling and quick acquiescing to State orders is driven by the decades long adulterous "tax and money" relationship between Caesar and the Church. Caesar gives tens of millions to these "episcopal corporations" in return for obedience. One scandalous recent act of obedience is becoming a lackey in the hands of Health Canada. 

Friends, 2020  is the year that we can say Catholic independence from the State ended with the triumphant conquest of public worship and the subjugation (nay, cowardly surrender!) of our sacred rites to pro-abortion "public health authorities"without ONE WORD of protest from Cardinal Collins. What a tragic legacy. 

  

Friends, drop Cardinal Collins an email to demand that he begin to act like the great bishops who stood up for the Faith!
