THE LOST ART OF REQUIEMS REFOUND

There were no eulogies. There was no casket, no chatter. No slides 'celebrating the life of ...'. No ghastly overheads, because during the Mass there was no singing. Neither were there any 'Readers'. Or 'Eucharistic Ministers'. There wasn't even a sermon. 

But the Latin Requiem Mass I had the privilege to attend last Thursday at St Mary's, Palmerston North, inspired me to email my five children, in their 'nightly' that evening, to take note: a Latin Requiem is what their awkward, demanding, unreasonable mother wants for her miserable soul.

I didn't altogether overlook the difficulty of finding a priest to celebrate: it's not that easy for a man schooled in the easy-peasy, go-with-the-flow, do-your-own-thing Novus Ordo Missae ('New Mass') to learn how to celebrate the ferial (weekday) Traditional Latin Mass, let alone a Requiem. 

One such brave and faithful priest has denied that it's a case - as I'd suggested to him - of just "saying the black and doing the red" of the rubrics of the Latin Mass Missal. 

So with considerable prescience, just last week I'd told a grandson who not long ago had said "I want to make a difference", that the best way to make a difference is to become a priest. I refrained from overwhelming him with the idea of becoming a priest who celebrates the Mass of the Ages, the Immemorial Mass, but that would be the ideal.

The image above does not portray - sadly - St Mary's Palmerston North, the interior of which is raked, meaning that the church floor slopes down towards the altar, so the congregation looks down on the altar where Our Lord is sacrificed, instead of raising their eyes towards Him. That's a Masonic idea and utterly opposed to the requirements of the Catholic Church. It seems as if parish priests just get hold of an architect for their new church, and the architect and his/her ego just gets on with it, unhindered by any theological or spiritual considerations.

St Mary's Palmerston North - thank God for the tree ...

I say, above, that there were no eulogies. Everything that needed to be said about the deceased had been said the night before at the Rosary, which distance prevented me from attending. 

I'll bet it was a real Rosary, unadulterated and not truncated - not omitting the Credo so as not to offend delicate Proddy sensibilities, because the deceased was a real Catholic, a faithful Catholic dedicated to Our Blessed Mother and to her way of "praying the Gospel".

instead of a 'casket', there was a coffin. The Latin Mass does not employ euphemisms. There were no 'Readers' or so-called 'Eucharistic Ministers' because the priest performed those duties. In the Latin Mass, the priest is the priest. He does not employ deputies. 

Before Mass we sang "Holy God we Praise Thy Name." We were there to worship God and pray for the soul of the deceased, not to 'celebrate his life'. After Mass we sang "Salve Regina" - somewhat more of a challenge but there were enough Latin Massgoers there to carry the day.

Before Mass, Father gave a brief explanation of the Latin Mass and how it differs from the Novus Ordo. 

Most importantly, he explained that Holy Communion would be given on the tongue - to practising Catholics, period. 

No ifs, buts or maybes. No 'blessings' for Proddys and unbelievers, as the former are invited to receive at  Novus Ordo 'funerals', God only knows why, as everyone is blessed anyway, before they depart the church - aren't they?

'Blessings' given in the Communion queue are as fatuous as the 'Good morning, everyone' which follows the 'Peace be with you' at the beginning of most NO celebrations; and more than fatuous they are a sacrilege, if as often happens the priest proceeds after blessing one person in the queue with a hand on the shoulder, or even worse on the head, to give Communion - Our Lord Jesus Christ - with the same hand to the next.

I don't know how it is in other parishes but in mine there are no acolytes, no servers, at Requiems.  At St Mary's last Thursday there were two acolytes, father and son (the latter aged eleven), for the Mass, and a third joined in for the incensing of the coffin. All surpliced, all with hands joined in prayer, all genuflecting whenever passing the tabernacle (regrettably, at St Mary's, sidelined), the eleven year-old reciting by heart all the Latin responses with his father and "doing the red" impeccably. 

Instead of a sermon, Father said a very few, well-chosen words - all that were necessary - after Mass and before the Commendation. And then we sang the "Hail Holy Queen". In Latin. We managed. 

The order of service was for a "Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of N". What? No 'celebrating the life of'? No. 

It was illustrated by a depiction of the Church Militant attending a Latin Mass with angels around the altar (as they always are present, not just during the Mass); below that, the Church Suffering (souls in Purgatory) and above them the Church Triumphant (the saints in heaven). 

The photo on the back showed the deceased not at his most glamorous stage of life but in an advanced state of his illness, trying to smile, with a crucifix beside him. It was a speaking likeness.

At the after-match I spoke to a Latin Massgoer. I said that Requiem would surely result in recruits for the Latin Mass. He rather floored me by saying, emphatically, "No!" Well, he knows the people  there better than I do. 

But in the hope of proving him wrong, here's something from the invaluable website OnePeterFive. https://onepeterfive.com/the-beauty-of-a-requiem/ 

The writer is describing his first experience of a Latin Requiem:

Having been to my share of modern Catholic funerals, I was absolutely struck by the profundity of the Requiem’s eschatology — not at all like the hagiographic approach taken today — such as that found in the Offertory:

O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of Hell and from the deep pit: deliver them from the mouth of the lion, that Hell may not swallow them up, and they may not fall into darkness; but may the holy standard-bearer Michael introduce them to the holy light: * Which Thou didst promise of old to Abraham and to his posterity.

V. We offer Thee, O Lord a sacrifice of praise and prayers; do Thou receive them in behalf of those souls whom we commemorate this day: grant them, O Lord, to pass from death to life. Which Thou didst promise of old to Abraham and to his posterity.

The Dies Irae alone is worth whatever sacrifices one must make to ensure the benefit of a Requiem on the occasion of their death. A more fitting sendoff — both somber and hopeful — one could not hope to find. 

 

 

KIWI NUN BREAKS IRISH LOCKDOWN TO ATTEND EXORCISM MASS

To comment please open your gmail account or use fb, Messenger or Twitter. Scroll down for other comments.

Sister Anne Marie 

Take a good look at this woman. She's just twenty years old. She's a New Zealander and a Carmelite nun.

She broke lockdown laws to attend a Latin Mass of exorcism outside the Irish Parliament.

Hannah Loeman, formerly of Whanganui, went to Ireland to join the Carmelite Order of the Holy Face of Jesus in 2017, at the age of 16. Correct me please if I'm wrong, but an educated guess would say that her large Catholic family were parishioners of St Anthony's SSPX in Whanganui.

"Nun on the run", blared the headline in the Otago Daily Times "A New Zealand-born nun has been caught breaching Covid-19 restrictions in Ireland to attend an exorcism," said the NZ Herald. As far as Radio New Zealand was concerned, it was  "a bizarre exorcism". 

Sr Anne Marie processes for the Mass of exorcism outside the Dáil

None of the stories says she's been arrested; to be "caught" implies she was trying to escape while in fact Sister Anne Marie was deliberately loitering with intent; and to anyone in our generally insane mainstream media, especially RNZ, an exorcism would seem 'bizarre'. To a faithful Catholic however, a Parliament which legislated for abortion on demand, and effectively enacted prohibition of Holy Mass and the sacraments is a prime candidate for exorcism, and New Zealand's Parliament having done the same is in dire need of exorcism also.

"A New Zealand nun based in Ireland breached local lockdown rules when she attended a bizarre exorcism outside the nation's parliament, it has emerged."

How long did it take before the story 'emerged'? Three months? That would be because RNZ and its MSM cohorts were too busy in the meantime, advertising the COVID 'pandemic'. 

"Seventy people took place (sic) in the illegal protest outside the Dáil on December 8 (local time) demanding places of worship reopen in the country."

It would be reasonable to assume that the Mass of exorcism was prompted primarily by the Dáil's enactment of abortion on demand in 2018. Any such assumption would however escape RNZ and if brought to their notice (imagine Kim Hill) would be ignored.  

Sister Anne Marie, along with Mother Irene Gibson, from the Carmelite Sisters of the Holy Face of Jesus, travelled from Cork to Dublin to attend the event, during a period when inter-county travel was banned and outdoor gatherings were limited to 15 people."

And churches were closed and the Garda (police) enjoying draconian powers unlike any New Zealand has ever seen. Yet. Ireland is paying the penalty for its 2018 legislation allowing unborn babies to be killed on demand. And so will New Zealand.

"A member of the group held an 'exorcism' outside the Dáil, before a traditional Latin Mass was also staged.

Love that. 'Staged'. Suggesting something outre, theatrical, 'bizarre' even. 

The Mass was led by Society of St Pius Resistance member Fr Giacomo Ballini. SSPR is a splinter group of the controversial Society of Saint Pius X, founded by French bishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1970 after he clashed with the Vatican over progressive reforms.

The Irish Times earlier reported that twenty-year-old New Zealander Sister Anne Marie, formerly Hannah Loeman, was the second person to join the order of silent nuns."

The second person to join the order in Cork, obviously. Not in the order as a whole. The order claims to be OCarm, the very same Carmelite order to which I belong, but its website - apart from the icon reproduced below - looks nothing like my crowd, which in New Zealand, Australia - and the UK, going by my limited knowledge of it there - has tamely followed 'Pope Francis' into mass apostasy.

From the website of the order, which claims to be O Carm

Take a gander at the website of the Carmelites of Holy Face of Jesus:

"Consecrated to God, to His Work and to His Church

• Contemplative
• Cloistered
• Semi-Eremitical
• Apostolic

Prayer and Spiritual Life

• Holy Sacrifice of the Mass - Traditional Latin Mass
• Chanting and praying of the Divine Office in common and in solitude
• Mental prayer
• Solitude and community
• Silence and recollection
• Penance, reparation, and sacrifice
• Spiritual counsel and direction"*
  

*My emphases. 

Also from the website 

https://carmelitesholyface.com/history

Penance??? Reparation??? Sacrifice??? Quite foreign to the OCarms of Australia and New Zealand, now. 

"The nuns live as hermits in West Cork, with Mother Irene having spent almost 30 years living as a consecrated hermit.

Brought up in Whanganui, in a large Catholic family, Sister Anne Marie went to Ireland in March 2017, receiving the habit as a novice six months later, The Irish Times reported.

"It was a wonderful feeling to be at last able to make my profession of vows and to at last become a bride of Christ," she told The Southern Star after taking her first vow in 2019.

"We spend much of our time in solitude, in prayer." 

The Irish Examiner's Paul Hosford told Morning Report the nuns live in a remote part of Cork on a plot of land that they were ordered to leave for breaches of planning permission.

The compound has sleeping cells and is used as a religious retreat.

"They were ordered by court to leave in 2019," Hosford said.

"They are in the area essentially because there is a church operating out of a farm house nearby ... that is linked to ... The Society of St Pius Resistance," he said. 

Since being ordered to leave the land, the pair have raised NZ$129,000 to purchase property.

The Society of St Pius Resistance has been ordered to stop selling herbal remedies with medicinal claims, Hosford said. 

 https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/436972/kiwi-nun-broke-irish-lockdown-rules-to-attend-exorcism

None of the stories that broke two days ago revealed that Sister Anne Marie's order - the Order of Jesus of the Holy Face - is not actually in communion with the Catholic Church. Now that fact would seem pretty pertinent in this context - a public exorcism of a country's Parliament.

A spokesperson for Bishop of Cork and Ross clarified that the women do not belong to any religious community which is in communion with the Catholic Church. He said they entered into a schism and ‘attribute their allegiance to an organisation which was established in Spain in the 1970s and which is referred to as the Palmarian Church.’https://www.southernstar.ie/news/carmelites-say-the-hermit-nuns-in-leap-are-not-part-of-our-order-4214248

The Irish bishops, just like New Zealand's, will be held accountable for the tragic state of the Church there, and for their acquiescence and complicity in their massacre of the innocents. And the Bishop of Cork and Ross could very well be held accountable for the Oirishness of his claim that Sister Anne Marie and Mother Irene "attribute their allegiance to ... the Palmarian Church". Qué?

But the Palmarian Church does sound somewhat dodgy. 

"Until August 6, 1978, the Most Holy Virgin Mary directed her many faithful within the Catholic Apostolic Roman Church, as She had done for almost 20 centuries. Due to the apostasy of the Church in Rome after the death of Pope Saint Paul VI, Our Lord Jesus Christ left Rome and directly handed over the Keys of Saint Peter to the person of Pope Saint Gregory XVII the Very Great.

In this way, the True Church was moved to the desert of El Palmar de Troya, conserving the traditions and rites that the Catholic Church has taught for centuries.

Over the course of ten years, the Heavenly Court manifested Itself copiously in the Sacred Lentisco of El Palmar, spiritually strengthening, counseling, and preparing Its predilect children, to later move definitively the Holy See of the Vatican to El Palmar de Troya, the Sacred Place of the Lentisco. For nine years Christ prepared certain people to continue the Work that Our Lord had established almost twenty centuries before. Two of these people would later be Pope St. Gregory XVII and Pope St. Peter II. " https://www.palmarianchurch.org/who-are-we/

I'll say this much for the nuns of the Order of Carmelites of the Holy Face: they know how to ply a needle. The Palmarian nuns' embroidery is exquisite;

 

But the burden of my song is, thank God for a Catholic and a Kiwi of courage. She broke an unjust law - which is "no law at all" - to attend a Mass of exorcism for the Dáil which had enacted a law so heinously unjust, no other like it has occurred in Irish history.

Here in her own country, Sister Anne Marie is to be emulated. 

ARE CATHOLICS BEING GROOMED FOR MORAL VAX MANDATE?

Are NZ Catholics being groomed for a Church-imposed mandate for COVID vaccination?

https://www.cleansingfire.org/2021/02/so-much-for-free-will-and-human-dignitty

That was the headline on February 17.

The Vatican in 2013 after Benedict's resignation, struck by lightning

More or less, for Vatican's citizens it's the jab or your job.  Jorge Bergoglio,using his global status nonpareil as Pope - although he rejects the title, Vicar of Christ - is leading the world's largely unaware but woke Novus Ordo Catholics by the nose, using the Vatican City State as an exemplar - the first country in the world to issue a decree threatening legally mandatory vaccinations and suggesting that employees could lose their job if they refuse to take the jab.

 Vatican health authorities "may deem it necessary to implement a prophylaxis entailing the administration of a vaccine in order to protect the health of citizens, residents, workers and the work community." 

The decree goes against a December statement from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) "on the morality of using some anti-COVID-19 vaccines" clarifying that "vaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation and that, therefore, it must be voluntary."https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/vatican-law-threatens-mandatory-vaccine

In New Zealand it's clearly a question of the morality of all ant-COVID 19 vaccines, as all have employed dead babies in their production.   

A distinguished authority in international law, told Church Militant that the new decree has been intentionally worded ambiguously for fear of running afoul of the Council of Europe's (CoE) January decree prohibiting compulsory COVID-19 vaccinations. 

The Holy See Press Office has already made it compulsory for journalists accompanying Pope Francis on his March trip to Iraq to be vaccinated. "In order to participate in the Apostolic Journey of the Holy Father Francis in Iraq, it is necessary to have undergone the vaccination against COVID-19'" the Vatican declared. 

BUT, but but but but but: Cardinal Raymond Burke, articulating Church doctrine back in May 2020, stated that "It must be clear that vaccination itself cannot be imposed, in a totalitarian manner, on citizens."  

 

Thank God for Cardinal Raymond Burke

Forced vaccination by the State "violates the integrity of its citizens," Burke stressed. "While the State can provide reasonable regulations for the safeguarding of health, the State is not the ultimate provider of health. God is. Whatever the State proposes must respect God and His Law."

https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/vatican-law-threatens-mandatory-vaccine

So what's going on here? I specify NO Catholics as unaware and ripe for manipulation, because honestly, the great majority who get all their spiritual formation at Mass on Sunday, don't know grade A from a bull's foot. 

I cite the bullet points from Monday's post, 'Bishops say take the jab, never mind the dead babies' as evidence. And that's without mentioning the sermons. Just don't get me started on the sermons. Especially the COVID sermons.

Of course, unlike the 'Pope', the bishops can't make vaccinations mandatory. Not physically. Thank God. But oh my word, they can try to make them mandatory, spiritually speaking. They're doing it already, in their public statements earlier this year, and are bound to develop the theme. You know how it goes.. 

"The vaccination is necessary for the good of the community. You will put people at risk if you don't have the vaccination. You need to do this out of love for your neighbour. You must put others first. Even if you don't agree with it, you should do it to protect the vulnerable." 

Such will be their cajolery, their blandishments. And the NO faithful will follow suit, looking sideways at fellow congregants at Sunday Mass, especially those who've made their anti-vax sentiments known, and not just refusing their proffered hand at the Sign of Peace but generally steering well clear of any such possibly contaminated Massgoers. 

"Why," asked a mystified Proddy friend, "are the bishops wanting you to get vaccinated?" (She's better informed I'd say, than the bishops.) The obvious answer is, because the 'Pope' wants us to get vaccinated.

So why does Jorge Bergoglio want us to get vaccinated? For the same reason Jacinda Ardern wants us to get vaccinated. Because that's Big Pharma's plan, because it's essential to the Great Reset and the One World Religion. Vaccination to "keep us safe" is another manoeuvre, like lockdowns, to get us whipped into line, suborned, subdued and subjugated. 

Note that the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments - now that Cardinal Robert Sarah has gone, in effect sacked by Bergoglio - is asking bishops to make “prudent decisions” concerning Holy Week celebrations.

"It’s important," says the Catholic yellow press, Cathnews, "that (the bishops) consider how their communities should celebrate Holy Week because of the danger of spreading coronavirus." If that's not a heads-up, I don't know what is.

Last year, the Congregation told the bishops to comply with any local health measures. They were permitted to celebrate Holy Week without the presence of the faithful.

So once again, come Holy Week, prepare for Stalinda to have her wicked way with us. An atheist, unmarried mother will dictate how the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church in New Zealand celebrates the most solemn moments of the liturgical year. Aided and abetted by Jorge Bergoglio and his Congregation, thusly:  

It also suggested that bishops celebrate Holy Thursday without the washing of the feet and Good Friday without the kissing of the cross.

Oh well, why don't we do away with Holy Week altogether? Wouldn't that 'keep people safer"? "Over my dead body," as my mother would say. And that should be our response, too. 

The letter does suggest a new development in this year’s arrangements however: that bishops encourage people unable to physically come to services to take part through livestreams or media coverage..https://cathnews.co.nz/2021/02/22/vatican-message-easter-bishops/

Oh, wouldn't that make things easier all round. We just stay put in our sitting rooms then, and watch the telly or read the newspaper. It's so disheartening, dismaying, disgusting.  And the bishops call it 'prudence'. 

So in the interests of clarity, if not justice, some information for these oh-so-poorly informed prelates, and for the laity who because of their Sunday obligation are forced to listen to them :

 

For readers over the age of reason yet still, like our bishops, unable to reason this issue out,  there's this:

Scientists Say the COVID19 Test Kits Do Not Work, Are Worthless, and Give Impossible Results

Posted byJason Hommel  21st March 2020 

A pregnancy test is 99% accurate. The coronavirus spectrum test kit is 20% accurate or worse. If a test is only 20% accurate, is the better word “inaccurate”?

Please take about 1 minute to at least glance at the bold copy. My prior article got 30,000+ views and was criticized for my commentary. Here are my limited comments: The CDC and FDA both admit the COVID19 test kits suffer from false positives and false negatives. They just fail to tell you those rates. But others have revealed those rates. “The false-positive rate of positive results was 80.33%” and 85% false negative rate. The test kits don’t work. If the test kits don’t work, or are less reliable than a coin flip, then all the data on “who has it” is utterly meaningless and it’s all a total fraud and hoax. People are still dying, but from the same illness as always: the flu. https://revealingfraud.com/2020/03/health/test-kits-do-not-work/

Still trying to keep it simple - because the truth is always simple:

 

The lockdowns are based on high levels of COVID cases. 

"We have so many new cases, we have to lock down.”

This claim is based on the diagnostic PCR test.

The more tests you do, the more positive results come up. A positive result is taken to mean: the person is infected with the virus.

But overwhelmingly, these so-called “infected” people have no symptoms. They are healthy. Nevertheless, each one is called a “COVID case.” This is absurd. [2]

A case should mean the person has clinical symptoms; he is sick.

These people aren’t sick, and there is no indication they will get sick.

So…expand testing, test millions of people, obtain results claiming “infection,” call all these healthy people “cases,” and order lock downs. [3]

This is a straight-out con. The real goal is lockdowns and economic devastation.Now let’s go to published official literature, and see what it reveals. Spoiler alert: the admitted holes and shortcomings of the test are devastating.Those quotes, from official government and testing sources, torpedo the whole “scientific” basis of the test.

CONCLUSION: The PCR test is useless and deceptive. It provides de facto dictators the opportunity to cite “new case levels” and lock down populations, creating economic and human devastation.

RESIST, REBEL, PROTEST, OPEN UP THE ECONOMY ANY WHICH WAY YOU CAN.

If you're not convinced yet:

Eight of thirty-one residents in a German nursing home have died after receiving the COVID mRNA shots, some of them against their will. Attorney Reiner Fuellmich, talking about the residents who were previously in good physical health and only suffered from “dementia,” stated:

One of them was a runner, in his late 70s, or WAS a runner, I should say, who was also an opera singer.

He outran one of the nurses who is in her mid 30s. He was still singing operas on the day that he got vaccinated.

After he got vaccinated, a couple of days later, he died.

So this opera singer, doesn’t sing anymore.

We are getting more and more calls from other whistleblowers from other nursing homes in this country, Sweden, Norway, Gibraltar, England and in the United States. 

A vaccination team consisting of an aged vaccinator, three aides and two federal soldiers in camouflage uniforms performed the vaccinations. The presence of the uniformed men greatly intimidated the seniors.

Sharon Crooks of Palmerston North can wrap up, with her comment on Monday's post: 

"I'm ... absolutely dismayed by the sheer lack of critical thinking skills of these men. Their inability to discern good from poor research, including comprehension of statistics is a real problem.

It is not as though good research is entirely hidden, and statistics have been available from the start regarding covid, and even in their inflated form, they still tell the story that covid is not something to fear, nor something to be vaccinated for, nor something requiring sanitation stations, the loss of holy water, or umpteen prayers of the faithful, least of all there being a need to support the abortion industry.

If this last year has taught me anything about these men, ontologically changed for the glory of God, it is that they are in the most part, undiscerning men and not living according to their otherwise glorious state. They are more fixated than ever on physical well-being (theirs and ours) to the detriment of spiritual well-being (theirs and ours).

Covid has brought these fixation(s) into the light ...

It is the extraordinary spiritual witness we need from them, not their penchant for Marxist political propaganda."

BISHOPS SAY TAKE THE JAB, NEVER MIND THE DEAD BABIES

Priests and prelates of New Zealand, are you receiving? All vaccines for the COVID-19 virus being currently distributed are produced and/or tested with cell lines that originated from an aborted child. 

“How," asks Bishop Athanasius Schneider, "can you use for your temporal health benefit the murdering, and all these horrible crimes, of the most weak and innocent unborn children? The end never justifies the means. You cannot enter into this chain.”https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/catholic-bishop-calls-for-new-pro-life-movement-to-protest-abortion-tainted-medicines-like-covid-vaccine

The Church says Catholics have a “moral duty” to avoid cooperation in evil, however remote, as the default condition. But the NZ Conference of Bishops has told all the faithful to take the jab: in essence, to try to save our lives by murdering babies. How can this be?

This can be only because the NZ Conference of Bishops has stopped preaching the Gospel. Not suddenly - people might notice. No, ever so slowly, ever since Vatican II and the fabrication of the Novus Ordo Missae, a trivialized travesty of the Traditional Latin Mass which produced fearless prophets and priests in the Catholic Church for over 2000 years, with the result that we now have bishops and priests who are controlled not by Our Lord but by His sworn opponents, the propagators of the One World Church.

All the usual suspects

Our bishops and priests can't excuse these vaccines on the grounds of "grave danger". There is no such danger. In the US, the COVID death rate returned to the normal flu death in early September. The pandemic in the US is over.

Dr Michael Yeadon

A former vice-president and chief scientist for Pfizer has flatly rejected the need for any vaccines to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to an end. Dr. Michael Yeadon, who “spent over 30 years leading new [allergy and respiratory] medicines research in some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies,” and retired from Pfizer with “the most senior research position in this field,” wrote: 

There is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic. I’ve never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines. You do not vaccinate people who aren’t at risk from a disease. You also don’t set about planning to vaccinate millions of fit and healthy people with a vaccine that hasn’t been extensively tested on human subjects.

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/former-pfizer-vp-no-need-for-vaccines-the-pandemic-is-effectively-over

In NZ there never was a pandemic. And that's not because Stalinda 'went hard, went early' but because New Zealand is the most isolated temperate land mass in the world. Temperate. In other words, rendering a healthy environment. We breathe fresh air (or we did till 'our dear Dr Bloomfield' told us to mask up); we're well fed, we have an outdoor lifestyle.

26 deaths is not a pandemic. Ergo, no vaccine is needed. The current scare tactics regarding "escalating cases" is based on a PCR test that is 100% inaccurate in people with no symptoms.

The other reason you don’t need a vaccine for COVID-19, at least in the US, is that substantial herd immunity has already taken place. This is the primary reason for the end of the pandemic.

I would much rather get a COVID infection than get a COVID vaccine. That would be safer and more effective. I have had a number of COVID positive flu cases this year. Some were old and had health concerns. Every single one has done really well with natural therapies including ozone therapy and IV vitamin C. Just because modern medicine has no effective treatment for viral infections, doesn’t mean that there isn’t one. (Frank Shallenberger, MD, HMD).

• 

  Dr Sherri Tenpenny

Dr Sherri Tenpenny, an osteopathic doctor in Ohio, states: "I refuse to call it a vaccine because it doesn’t meet any of the standards by which a vaccine is supposed to work: 

• to prevent the spread of infection 
• to keep you from getting sick 
• to keep you from being hospitalized 
• to decrease the amount of illness 
• to protect people from this contagion
  
  Even Pfizer and Moderna acknowledge this fact on the vaccine packaging, Tenpenny noted, before questioning why anyone would “take on all the risk of this injection, all the risk of what’s coming through the needle and in creating these adverse antibodies that literally are going to kill many people.”

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/doctors-expose-untested-covid-vaccines-warn-of-cascade-of-harmful-effects-and-deaths?

A priest of the Diocese of Palmerston North (still, and perhaps blessedly, still bishopless) was wondering out loud yesterday what might be talked about at the priests' meeting this week. Hmmm. Let's think, now ...

Well, for starters, the foregoing, re the complicity of New Zealand's bishops in the murder of unborn children and popping them, still alive, in the fridge for dissection later. Are the PN Diocese priests in favour of that? And in view of the foregoing, how about:

• Reinstalment of all holy water fonts, complete with holy water.
• Removal of 'sanitising stations'.
• Removal of all sign-in and scanning procedures.
• Reinstatement of Communion on the tongue.
• Reinstatement of the Sign of Peace (in the hope that one day it will be moved to the beginning of the Mass).
• Abolition of the fatuous 'Good Morning' rendered by so many priests (right after praying that "the Peace of the Lord be with you").
• Relegation of the Psalm Response to its proper place, i.e. as a response, not a cue-in.
• Rendering the Prayers of the Faithful as prayers, not as one irate reader has described them, as "pious wishes". Prayers are communication with the Almighty (in this instance) and not communication with the community, along the lines of “May we all work for justice and peace"; "may we all be nice and kind to each other" (okay, besides being ungrammatical that's an exaggeration but you get the point). "Even my littlest grandchildren," says the irate reader, "when praying to their Heavenly Father, phrase their petitions along the lines of “Please look after Nana & Grumps as they travel back home tomorrow”.
• And no more Prayers of the Faithful about 'global warming' or worse still, 'save us from COVID and get us quick vaccinations all round.
• And always a prayer for the Church (yes, God knows She needs it but do the faithful?) and for those who have died (not, pace Evelyn Waugh, 'our loved ones') and for babies in the womb and their parents.
• Abolition of 'Eucharistic Ministers' (the only Eucharistic Minister is the priest celebrant)
• Use of Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (as they are correctly termed) only in extraordinary circumstances, as the term indicates, i.e. when the priest is unable to distribute Holy Communion or when the number of communicants would make it impossible for the priest to distribute Communion in a reasonable time.
• Abolition of altar girls. Yes, come on priests, you know that's (belatedly) been requested, or at least preference of boys over girls, and you know you can do it. You "can do all things with the help of Christ who strengthens" you.

  The irate reader goes on: "My wife opined to me that she thinks many who used to go to Mass will not now go back; they’ve got used to Massless Sundays. And most of those currently attending Sunday Mass will fade away because (1) they’re mostly elderly, and (2) they have no solid commitment. I can’t argue with that. It seems likely that Wanganui will become the hub of the Church in New Zealand." By Wanganui, the irate reader (or 'Grumps') means of course, the flourishing parish of St Anthony's of the Society of St Pius X (SSPX), which celebrates only the Traditional Latin Mass and gives Communion only on the tongue. At St Anthony's, which of course is in Palmerston North Diocese, and at the Latin Mass they celebrate every third Sunday in Napier - in a funeral parlour because Cardinal Dew won't let them into St Patrick's Church - the priests preach the Gospel. And come to think of it, I believe they would agree with all the suggestions above for topics for discussion at the priests' meeting in Palmerston North this week. “The hour has now come," says Bishop Schneider, "that all people of goodwill, especially believing Catholics, all pro-life organizations have to stand up and make a fiery protest with one voice and say, ‘We will never agree [with], we will never admit [into our lives] these evils.’”

  Schneider quoted Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, the Russian author’s warning of the moral cost of attempting a utopia of “peace and rest” which  was, however, founded on the torture, death and “unavenged tears” of “only one tiny creature—that baby beating its breast with its fist.”

  And one last suggestion for our priests and prelates to think about, and talk about in Palmerston North this week - a message from Our Lady to the Church-approved mystic Luz de Maria Bonilla, IN 2015:
  "This is the hubris that Satan himself instills in souls so they will detest My Son and join the files of Satan who has prepared the stage for the antichrist.
  Misused science has penetrated the pharmacological industries so these will dare create vaccines contaminated with
  viruses so human beings will carry death or diseases with them.
  My children, why do you feed on the garbage with which the great transnationals want to eliminate most of the world population? DO NOT ALLOW IT. YOUR BODIES ARE TEMPLES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU MUST PROTECT THEM AND TAKE CARE OF THEM."
