+GIELEN'S BLUNT AXE FALLS ON THE MOST HOLY SONS

ROME HAS SPOKEN: acting on 'recommendations' from the Dicastery for Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, Bishop Michael Gielen of Christchurch has expelled the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (FSSR). +Gielen has removed their faculties to exercise sacred ministry in the Christchurch Diocese. 

'Recommendations'. That's all my eye and Betty Martin. 'Recommendations' is simply a euphemism for 'diktats'. +Gielen reveals himself clearly as the Vatican's man and not one to resist Rome's decrees, no matter how unjust and sinful. Not for +Gielen, evidently, the holy disobedience of St Peter, who told the high priest, "We ought to obey God rather than man” (Acts 5:29). 

It's a Roman axe but morally it's +Gielen who's wielding a blunt instrument which inflicts great pain, not only on Father Michael Mary and Father Anthony Mary, but all Latin Massgoers in Christchurch - and doubtless also from distant parts. A family from Napier, for instance, attended the Latin Mass in Ashhurst yesterday. That's a two-hour+  drive and not uncommon, for lovers of the Mass of Ages. Because what's their alternative? The Novus Ordo, said by NO priests. 

For TLM adherents, blessed as they have been in Christchurch by daily Masses at the FSSR's Oratory which are now reduced by +Rome's diktat to one a week, the NO is no alternative at all. It is the Eucharist, yes, but THE NOVUS ORDO IS A DANGER TO FAITH. Attend at your own risk.  

Bishop Gielen states, in his letter to the Christchurch Diocese:  

"Any ministry (the FSSR) carry out will be unauthorised and liturgical celebrations will be illicit - that is, outside the rules of the Church. All professed members of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer have been asked to leave the Christchurch Diocese."

 

And the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer will almost certainly humbly accede to +Gielen's request. Where will they go? Presumably, back to Papa Stronsay, the tiny island in the Orkneys that is home to the FSSR, whence they set out to preach the Eternal Truths in the far-away mission field of New Zealand.

Bishop Gielen has arranged that the Traditional Latin Mass community founded and fostered by the FSSR will have the TLM celebrated weekly at Kaiapoi, beginning July 21. We suppose we should be grateful for very small mercies. One wonders where +Gielen will find priests to celebrate the Latin Mass? Does he perhaps think Fr John Adams is still parish priest at Kaiapoi? It's not as if a priest can just rock up to a church and say the Traditional Latin Mass, as they can say the Novus Ordo. It takes time, dedication and a degree of intelligence, not to mention love of God and His Mystical Spouse the Church, to learn the Latin Mass.   

The FSSR community has been waiting for the Vatican axe to fall ever since an Apostolic Visitation last November by Australian Bishop Robert McGuckin, following complaints of exorcisms carried out without  permission made to +Gielen's predecessor, Bishop Paul Martin. https://juliadufresne.blogspot.com/2023/07/paddy-gowers-issues-with-monks-beat-up.html  And actually long before that, for 6 years during which the Oratory was subjected to a sustained campaign of slander. 

+Gielen claims that these measures have been taken for 'the good of the Church and the faithful in this Diocese'. Just how is it good for the Church or the Diocese at this moment in time, when US president Donald Trump escapes assassination only by a few millimetres and - TLM Catholics in the US believe - the intervention of Our Blessed Mother? 

It's not hard to work this one out, is it? The brouhaha stirred up by the rebarbative Paddy Gower in massaging certain 'Catholic' malcontents over 'exorcisms' was grist to Antipope Bergoglio's mill. It was merely a pretext. That accusation of exorcism was promptly deployed by Antipope Francis as a tool to do away with yet another Traditional Latin Mass community. 

Be under no illusions here: it's the Traditional Latin Mass that Antipope Bergoglio has in his sights, just as surely as the shooter yesterday had Trump in his.  IT'S THE MASS THAT MATTERS!

Bergoglio is Satan's instrument, just as Bishop Michael Gielen is Bergoglio's - unwittingly, no doubt. To rise to the episcopacy in New Zealand these Novus Ordo days requires that candidates be likeable and relatable, rather than brainy. +Gielen didn't get to where he is today by defending the Catholic Faith and our Sovereign Lord, Christ the King, in the teeth of the world's (or Catholic Novus Ordo) opposition.

The day after Donald Trump, Republican nominee for the US presidency, was shot in the ear with a bullet clearly meant for his brain - and the day after his rival, President Joe Biden stated publicly, "Most importantly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, TRUMP IS A THREAT TO THIS NATION" - is not a good day to have official confirmation that The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (FSSR) have been expelled from Christchurch.

A note in passing: the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to the children at Fatima on the 13th of 6 consecutive months. She asked that the 13th of every month be observed as her day. Yesterday, July 13, is also the Feast day of our Lady of Rosa Mystica. She saved Pope John Paul II from dying of a bullet shot on May 13th. And now Trump on July 13th. http://www.catholictradition.org/Mary/rosa-mystica.htm Just saying ...

"What's the FSSR got to do with Trump?" you ask. Nothing, superficially. But an assassination attempt on the man the Davos globalists will stop at nothing to prevent winning the US election - and the likely outcome, had the bullet hit its target, of the end of America, leader of the free world - demonstrates humanity's desperate need of prayer, and holy priests to offer that prayer. Like the Sons. Exactly the sort of priest that Antipope Bergoglio is determined to exterminate, probably just as much as his chum Joe Biden wants to exterminate Trump. For the real oil on the Sons, go here: https://juliadufresne.blogspot.com/2023/07/paddy-gowers-issues-with-monks-beat-up.html

The monstrous Fr Marko Rupnik SJ for example, who abused 30 nuns and sacramentally and sacrilegiously forgave one of them, in the confessional, for having sexual relations with him, is back in Rome now, close to 'the Holy Father' and free to continue doing his own thing. (Not to mention all the priestly pederasts in Francis Church because it's literally far too long to publish here). And the same 'Holy Father' gets +Gielen to kick the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer out of their Oratory and onto the street. Apparently for performing exorcisms, which the Church has done for millennia, with probably less reason than there is to do exorcisms now, with demonic influence more evident in society than ever it was in history.  

The Catholic faithful can only assume that exorcism is the reason for the FSSR's expulsion, as we're not likely to see the Apostolic Visitation's report to the Vatican. But if indigenous Maori beliefs and spiritual practices must be respected and accepted in the Church in New Zealand, even during holy Mass and other Catholic rituals, why not the age-old, thoroughly Christian and Catholic of exorcism? Are we seeing a double standard?

Just listen to the popesplainers and papaloters try to tell us that kicking the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer out of Christchurch was the infallibly Right Thing To Do. Or maybe the ubiquitous Professor Peter Lineham, an Anglican Baptist who's the media's go-to talking head on all things Catholic, could be wheeled out again to tell us all about it.

Our responsibility is, as Our Lady of Fatima teaches us so clearly, to transform the situation of the world and the Church by overcoming in our lives any sin and darkness, by daily turning to Christ and seeking to follow him with all our heart.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us
