Please be advised that the following video is not satire!
That's right! Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is being treated with all the dignity of a Happy Meal from the McDonald's drive-through. As we watch the people walk to their cars with their arms swinging in a normal gait, we know that Particles of the Host are flying everywhere from the wrappers. By the way - did you hear any directions regarding the disposal of the wrappers - that probably containg pieces of the Host? I didn't either.
Note: In the 0:07 mark, notice the drums to Father's right. In most localities, singing is banned. Perhaps that is a blessing in disguise for now the ears of the few Catholics who now attend Mass are not being assailed with all manners of ungodly racket. Also at th 0:09 mark, take note of the lady in the pink sweater (bottom right of the screen) giving us all a demonstration as to why the masks accomplish the exact opposite of their touted purpose. Just for fun, go to their website and look at all the laudible causes being pursued by their Justice Council. What's that? Where's any mention of fighting abortion? Oh, how..how.. rigid of you! But I digress!
I understand that since this video from Complicit Clergy was released till now, that the uproar resulted in this debacle being canned. That shows what can happen when we raise our voices and make these careless clergy uncomfortable in their sacrilege. Please advise via comments of any other such nonsense, providing corroborating links so that we can shine light on cockroaches. Thank you.

Cardinal Sarah: Priests Do NOT Have To Wash Women's Feet On Holy Thursday
Cardinal Robert Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments made clear that priests are not obliged to wash the feet of women on Holy Thursday. Please read the articles at the Wanderer and Aletia
As we all know, Pope Francis amended Canon Law to permit the washing of women's feet this past January. Prior to that, the washing of women's feet on Holy Thursday was a direct violation of canon law. However, some of the more progressively-inclined bishops, in the wake of the canon law change, have taken it upon themselves to require their priests to wash women's feet. The latter is actually a misrepresentation of the canon law change, and most likely a deliberate misrepresentation.
Mindful of the moral and theological quandary in which faithful priests now find themselves (including some in my diocese who, for obvious reasons, must not be named), Cardinal Sarah stated that the individual priest "has to decide in accord with his own conscience, and according to the purpose for which the Lord instituted this feast".
So what is this purpose for which the Lord established this feast? We all know from basic catechesis that the purpose was two-fold: the institution of the Eucharist AND the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. The Wanderer article picks up on an important point. We read in John 13 of the washing of the feet of the Apostles. After He is finished, Jesus exhorts them to wash one another's feet. Notice that He doesn't say "wash the feet of any random person". It would appear that the priests are to wash the feet only of men who are in Holy Orders or preparing for the same. It is unseemly, therefore, to wash the feet of women and even more so of non-Catholics.
Regrettably the pope is preparing to depart once again from the focus on the priesthood. He intends to wash the feet of some Islamic refugees. It's supposed to be a "powerful symbolic gesture", you see. At a time when many countries are waking up to the dangers to which they've exposed their citizens by unbridled immigration, when they are starting to take measures to protect their own people, the pope will try to lull their consciences back to sleep. This "symbolic gesture" is really quite political in nature, one that if heeded, will contribute to the endangerment of Christians throughout Europe.
Getting back to Cardinal Sarah's statement, priests are reassured that they can decline to wash the feet of women. They cannot be coerced into doing so. It is my understanding that the washing of feet itself is entirely optional. I hope and pray that many priests will take heart and stand strong against progressive tyranny, even from their own chanceries.
Please spread this, as many priests may not be aware of Cardinal Sarah's pronouncement.

When Bishop Gracida Thwarted Then-Bishop Wuerl
As one might imagine, the information relayed by this Vortex is particularly heart-warming to me. I live in the Archdiocese of Washington, and in the parish from where Father Guarnizo was expelled after he defended the Blessed Sacrament from profanation.
Cardinal Wuerl has now reached the age of retirement. Has he submitted his resignation, as per canon law? Since he disregards Canon law in matters of Holy Communion distribution and washing women's feet on Holy Thursday, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. But maybe he did anyway, believing (understandably so) that the pope won't let a close ally be unseated. Anyway, here's the video. God bless Bishop Gracida and all the faithful prelates and clergy.

Disruption Planned for Pentecost Sunday Masses Nationwide
"American Papist" informs us that the Rainbow Sash crowd (a CINO "gay rights" group) is planning to disrupt Masses nationwide this Pentecost Sunday, e.g., next weekend. While they are emphasizing their intentions to strike at Cardinal George in Chicago (presumably because he's USCCB president), I've got to imagine that they won't pass up the Nation's Capital.
Ladies and gentlemen, faithful Catholics, has anyone any information regarding plans for local profanation of Holy Mass? It may be up to us to guard the dignity of the Eucharist. Remember the martyr St Tarcisius, who gave his life to protect the Eucharist from desecration. Yes, Tarcisius was a lay person. In fact, he was a 12-year old boy when he was martyred. Therefore, let's hear no cop-out excuses that "it's the clergy's job".
St Tarcisius, pray for us!
