The introduction of of vaccine passports & certification is proof in my opinion that the covid 'crisis' is not actually about health but about control. I am amazed at how many support this stupid and dictatorial idea. In reality if anyone you know or love supports this idea they are at heart fascists wanting the state to impose it's will and trample on our natural God given rights. They must be opposed at all costs.
I agree that they are using this as a means of control and to use our budget to fund so called related expenses. The virus is real...but I’d sure like to know it’s origins...and yes, I’ll question the vaccine because the likes of Bill Gates and Fauci pushing it makes me cringe with horror. Gates wants to depopulate the world, his family was involved with planned parenthood and I’m going to get a vaccine he is promoting? No....
So, the $64,000 question is— when we are only allowed to attend mass and receive the sacraments if we have taken the vaccine— what do we do?
I will officially leave my parish after writing a letter to the parish priest and bishop. Probably then try to find an underground and valid Catholic church to receive the sacraments if there is no other alternative parish.
Underground Church. Honestly, that's one of the reasons I'm switching to a TLM parish and getting involved in the community there. I believe the FSSP priests will be faithful and brave and take care of our spiritual needs should the Church get run underground.
Well I hope the Lord leads me to an underground church because I really have no clue of where to find one in my area!
I would love to commit to the FSSP parish in our town, but I have two or three concerns. What if Rome decides to kick the Latin Mass to the Kerb. We would end up in schism or have to return with our tail between our legs to the Novus Ordo parish. Because we have to stay with the Pope or we are not in the Roman Catholic Church. Our Bishop here allows the FSSP in our town T.G. What if a new Bishop is appointed to our diocese and he then decides the FSSP are not welcome anymore. It could happen, and God only knows how far we would have to drive to attend Holy Mass. At our age longer drives are a big challenge, especially on a regular basis. It is true the FSSP Priests are like Priests used to be, father figures. I have been able to get a few things off my chest since having the FSSP priests to ask for clarity or advice. There is more that I hope to bring a little at a time so as not to take up the confessional for too long in one go. Thank God for these men, they seem to know souls need spiritual fathers like bodies need physical fathers. I might even get to heaven with these precious Priests guiding us.
We're all in this together! is the slogan (repeated like a mantra) here in the States, or at least in my region of it. Most vigorously repeated by Leftists, who've proven they DON'T want to be "in this (anything) together" with people who disagree with them. This is yet another symptom of how nuts the USA has become: I honestly figured most mainstream and evangelical Christians would be pushing "wear a mask!" and mask mandates, and that Hollywood (and co.) would be "No, no -- that's fascism! Be yourself!" That it is entirely the opposite of that astounds me. If this were the 1990s, it WOULD be mainstream and evangelical Christians insisting on obedience to Fauci ... and Hollywood giving it all a "raspberry." Whenever I hear "We're all in this together!" I'm like, yeah...we sure are. Meanwhile it's now a never-ending free-for-all with lots of people at each others' throats. And yet the Left pushes that slogan as though it's all a big Kumbaya Love Fest here. I've never seen such dripping hatred and violence ... BEFORE Covid. But we're all looking out for each other! I have to wonder if Conservatives made the initial move of NO MASKS, and the ever-reactive nincompoops (Leftists) of course had to immediately oppose that and shove their "reaction" down everyone's throats.
It reminds me of walking into a Deep Bog by mistake up the mountains. You take a few steps in and start to sink a little. You think to yourself, 'Why this isn't so bad!!' You walk on a few steps more and suddenly you are in up to your ankles. If you're really, really stupid you try to plough on. But with sudden shock you find yourself in a place where you understand there is nothing to stop you sinking in well over your head and go back. Do you recall at the start of this when they said the lock downs would only last for two weeks? I do. That was over a year ago now.. Now they are talking about wearing masks , social distancing and virus passports forever and ever and ever. Suddenly we have ended up in a horrible bog were we are well, well in over our heads. Thank God , the choice is up to us, we can always turn back. We can always say a clear, 'No'!! 'No more!!' 'I quit!!' 'I'm not having this!' 'No! No! No!' I was in a supermarket last week and a group of women began to grumble and complain about me not wearing a mask. I just thought to myself well let them. I have had enough. I recall at the start some people did not wear masks. Now I never see anyone at all without one apart from myself. Sickening. Deeper and deeper into the bog, the sinking sands. I don't force anyone else to wear masks or not to go to Church. I leave people to get on with their lives. Let them leave me alone to get with mine. Period.
I have a reputation at work at being able to predict fairly accurately government strategy with regard to covid decisions. With regard to UK and Ireland I predict major openings almost back to normal July and August. By September & October a new covid variant will magically appear again to scupper plans we will have to go into a new winter lockdown. It's at this stage they will introduce digital ID cards via smartphone ap. Mass will be suppressed again. After this comes the great reset as economies will be in shambles.
I'm already hearing about covid variants and never ending vaccines . . .we will probably have two societies, vaxers and non.
Summorum Pontificum = The TLM has NEVER been abrogated. Pope BXVI made that clear in this motu proprio. Obedience to the ancient liturgy cannot at the same time be disobedience to the Magesterium. That would be illogical. Anyone who goes underground would be safeguarding the Mass of the Ages established by Our Lord Jesus Christ and organically grown in the soil of His Bride, the One True Catholic Church. Refusal to switch back to the Novus Ordo could not, in reality, ever be true disobedience.
Padraig I was thinking of you and your dogs at the door of Clonard lol The police would dare not come in. This Polish man is my new hero. God Bless him for his courage and righteous anger.
I think that is the oldest trick in the book of the totalitarians - create a two-tier society One group are the 'virtuous' who conform the 'double-maskers' and the vaccinated - The other are the lepers, the outcasts, those who are a bio-hazard because they refuse to conform, wear masks and get vaccinated. They are a threat to the majority group and need to be identified and 'tagged' for their non conformity. It is a policy of divide and conquer by the totalitarians that makes the virtuous feel good and gives an excuse to target the minority. We are on the cusp of this divided society as totalitarianism has already begun. The vaccines are just a means of getting control.
I don't honestly know where all this might lead. But here is an observation that causes me much concern. I told you all a month ago my elderly sister in Ireland got the first vaccine. She was contacted by her local authority to make her appointment to get the jab. She told them she was not happy to get the jab after all she was 84 years old and never went anywhere nowadays. Living in the country she did not come in contact with anyone. They told her if she did not get the vaccine, she would no longer have any home helps willing to come to her house. She needs some help and because of the fear of being left without any support, caved in and went and got the jab, even though she did not want it. I knew she was getting her second vaccine on Good Friday, so phoned has last evening her 85th birthday and in the course of our conversation she told me she knew they should not have forced her to be vaccinated, so I was glad to know she does know her rights; even so she was effectively forced to take a vaccine against her better judgement and her conscience. She said to me, what can I do, I need someone to come and help and the help is conditional on accepting the jab. Sad old world.
