Okie-dokie! Let's see what we got here!
About three years ago, dissident Jesuit Father Thomas Reese disavowed belief in Transubstantiation. Thanks to Novus Ordo Watch who reported this. We can add this to his already-impressive list of heretical beliefs and behaviors.
This past April, the pope conferred with an Anglican bishop-wannabee woman. The Vatican News outlet called her "Right Honourable Dame Sarah Mullally". Again, this is a Vatican news outlet calling her that, and they did not put that in quotes. She was in full costume. I won't go into the topics of their gabfest. Suffice it to say that the pope called her "bishop" but had a fit over the SSPX ordaining bishops. I didn't hear the pope renewing any excommunication proclamation for her!
LifeSiteNews reminded us that Bishop Michael Sis, who warned Catholics not to attend SSPX masses and who falsely stated that SSPX weddings and confessions are invalid, attended in "interfaith" Hanukkah ceremony in 2023. That is a sin against the First Commandment. I believe he still retains his see. Odd how that works!
The abuses pile on. In Austria, two priests decided to commemorate their 30 years in the priesthood by attempting to consecrate flatbread on the floor.in a school. The rubrics are quite clear that the host must be unleavened and made entirely of wheat. Because the matter was invalid, the bread was not consecrated and thus Our Lord did not become sacramentally present. We can be grateful that there was no Blessed Sacrament and thus no insult, although blasphemy abounded. We don't know if the priests have received any discipline that is more substantial than a rap on the knuckles, and don't know if they received even that. This same link tells of a Muslim funeral rite in a Catholic Church, in addition to a Buddhist birthday celebration in another. Were those parish priests disciplined? Should we even bother to ask?
On June 27, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles allowed an Aztec war dance to take place during a Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. This LifeSiteNews link has video that depicts this idolatrous sacrilege.
I could go on and on, as the insults to the Faith are increasing exponentially. I will mention one last one. Pope Leo appointed a bishop to the Diocese of Chifeng in Mongolia in accordance with the agreement between the Vatican and Red China. In plain English, the dictators of Red China put forth their chosen candidate, and Pope Leo rubber-stamped him to the see.
Do you appreciate the hypocrisy displayed by that Chinese matter? The SSPX, seeking to preserve their order and the Tradition of the Church, petitioned the Vatican for months to address their concerns and allow them a mandate to ordain those men. Pope Leo et al not only stiff-armed them, but pronounced them excommunicated (canonical laws were violated, but that is another discussion). On the other hand, Red China, overt haters of the Faith, put forth their candidate and he is immediately approved by the pope..
On the surface, that doesn't appear to make sense. It does, though, if the reader finally accepts some very unpleasant but also very obvious truths. All these aberrations have the same end - the destruction of the Faith and absolute disdain for Our Lord.
Are we going to let this happen?
