OPEN LETTER TO CONFUSED PRIESTS: Viganò on Obedience, Resistance, Francis and Vaccines

The problem of a perverted authority – that is, one that does not act within its proper limits or which has autonomously given to itself a purpose opposite to that which legitimizes it – is addressed by Sacred Scripture, reminding us that omnis potestas a Deo [all power comes from God] (Rom 13:1) and that qui resistit potestati, Dei ordinationi resistit [whoever resists authority, resists what God has ordained] (Rom 13: 2). And if Saint Paul tells us to obey civil authority, all the more are we bound to obey ecclesiastical authority, due to the primacy that spiritual matters have over temporal ones.

The Mature Fruits of Vatican II

On a practical level, there are at least two significant ways Vatican II impacted the manner in which the Church hierarchy confronts error today. The first, and arguably less significant for present purposes, was the apparent abandonment of the idea that “error has no rights,” an idea which should be self-evident and non-controversial if one simply understands the words.

Pardon my Boat-Rocking: A Respectful Debate

After sixty years of “off and on” dialogue with new breed, trendy philosophers and theologians, this author has finally, at long last, come to the most obvious conclusion that the only way to counter the writings of a Jesuit (in this case, Rev. James Martin, S.J., the editor of America magazine) is with the writings of another Jesuit (in this case, Rev. Edward Cahill, S.J., the noted Irish scholar).

ADORAMUS TE, CHRISTE: Bishop Schneider Calls for COVID-Abuse Reparation Crusade

Although Christ is now in His glorious state and hence no more subject to suffering in a human way, He nevertheless is affected and touched in His Sacred Heart by the abuses and outrages against the Divine majesty and the immensity of His Love in the Blessed Sacrament. Our Lord has expressed to some Saints His complaints and His sorrow about the sacrileges and outrages with which men offend Him. One can understand this truth from the words of the Lord spoken to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, as Pope Pius XI reports in his Encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor:

American Prisoners of War & the COVID Psy-op

The public is finally coming to realize that even this forecast is optimistic − there is no end in sight in the government’s plans to never allow the country to return to normal. Fauci has warned it would last two years, some academics have advocated for mandates to continue years until the virus is completely eradicated, and World Economic Forum stakeholders are saying that normal life (without masking, social distancing and other restrictions) won’t be permitted until after 2022, even after lockdowns are lifted.

The Homily Is Not Part of the Liturgy

In his great work The Idea of a University of 1852, John Henry Newman at one point turns aside from his main point to explain the difference between a minister of the sacraments and a preacher:

Archbishop Viganò’s Considerations on the promotion of the vaccine by the Holy See

A few days ago, an interview was broadcast on Canale5 in which Jorge Mario Bergoglio appeared in the unusual role of sponsor of the pharmaceutical companies. We had already seen him in the role of politician, of trade unionist, of promoter of uncontrolled immigration, of supporter of welcoming illegal immigrants, and of philanthropist. In all of these metamorphoses what has always emerged, alongside his capacity to totally remove himself from his institutional role, is the polyhedric character of the Argentine, who, we now discover, is also the promoter of pharmaceutical companies, a convinced supporter of vaccines and a zealous cheerleader of those who for a year now have been using Covid as a means to control the masses and to impose the Great Reset desired by the World Economic Forum.
