I have no idea whether or not the launching of this initiative had anything to do with your own recent letters on the subject, but it does strike me as a not-so-veiled attempt to disqualify (if not vilify ) traditional Catholic resistance to the disastrous and non-binding novelties of the Second Vatican Council.

But what if we stepped outside and did something?
What this means is that, even though nobody thinks that this is a good situation, it persists all the same. Abortion is not right, but it is framed as a right, and so it continues.
“ If it is possible for this Pope to be for all practical purposes schismatic – and I would say also heretical – why could not that Council also have been so?” – Archbishop Viganò
The State may not mandate how the Church should do her liturgy or make use of her sacraments. The Church fought for centuries against state encroachments and arrogations, establishing that her ministers have a God-given right to make liturgical and sacramental determinations. [i] On May 7, an open letter, led by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò and Cardinals Gerhard Ludwig Müller, Joseph Zen, and Jānis Pujats, and signed by many clergy, reminded politicians that “the state has no right to interfere, for any reason whatsoever, in the sovereignty of the Church.”
BROKEN COVENANTS: From the Sanhedrin to Vatican II

Communion in the hand was introduced by open disobedience in the 1960s—a story told in detail by Bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise in his eye-opening book Holy Communion: Documents and History, summarized in a number of places online (e.g., by Fr. Richard Heilman in an article at NLM ). Its beginning was therefore hardly auspicious, and Paul VI, in typical fashion, surrended to the rebel camp while repeating that he reaffirmed tradition and intended to change nothing.
The University of Notre Dame has recently invited Peter Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana to join its faculty for the coming 2020-2021 academic year. Buttigieg will be a Fellow at Notre Dame’s Institute for Advanced Study (NDIAS) and will take part in a group study focusing on the “nature of trust.” This fall he will release a book on this subject titled Trust: America’s Best Chance.
As the political equality movement for women gained steam, though, women began to suffer more than they ever had in the past. The patriarchy which nearly every girl in the USA has now been taught to hate by her public school teachers used to be considered a very good thing. The world can be harsh and men, if they are to be considered worthy of the name, must protect women. Political equality targets this natural male sentiment to care for women and severs the human bonds of friendship and love between the sexes. In the Supreme Court case of Muller v. Oregon of 1908, the state still preserved a vestigial regard for the inherent physical weakness of women vis-à-vis men. In later Supreme Court cases, the true misogyny of the equality regime could no longer be hidden. Today, the state encourages women to contracept against new life within her, to kill any new life that slips through, and, ideally, to give up femininity altogether and become neutered angry lever-pullers for the state’s eternal voting machine.
Bp. Athanasius Schneider, in Christus Vincit, accurately identified that “the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ and the Eucharist is the Heart…the Heart gives blood and energy to the body.” In trying times, such as these, we must remain receptive to the graces that flow from His Eucharistic Heart.

“Allow me to express my appreciation for the Vicit Leo association, which has started its social activities with an initiative and a commitment that is of great value. It is certainly comforting to see how many lay Catholics are animated by a sincere desire to serve the cause of the Church in the civilized world….,” wrote Monsignor Carlo Maria Viganò to the Directors of Vicit Leo at a press conference in Rome last week.
Birx makes a great case for the goggles, and she does so with finesse, telling us that we can even decorate our face shields because the American people are so innovative in times of crisis.
This decision is said to have been adopted, at your zealous insistence, by the Congregation for the Clergy, which considered inadmissible the refusal on the part of clerics under your jurisdiction to administer and receive the Most Holy Eucharist on the hand rather than on the tongue. I imagined that the laudable and coherent behavior of the priests, clerics, and faithful of San Rafael offered you an excellent excuse to close the largest seminary in Argentina and to disperse the seminarians in order to re-educate them elsewhere, in seminaries that are so exemplary that now they are empty. Your Excellency has done a very good job of translating the invitation to parrhesia [freedom, frankness] into action, in the name of which we are supposed to defeat the scourge of clericalism that has been denounced by the highest Throne.
