Canada: From Utopia to Dystopia

August 29, 2019

A patient suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) resigned himself to starting a medically assisted death procedure—euthanasia—as the level of care which his condition needs was no longer supported by the state. Canadians are discovering that their social model is turning into a nightmare: limiting access to care, while supporting assisted suicide.

“No one should have to feel death is the only option due to lack of care,” said Dr. Leonie Herx, a physician in Toronto, Canada, in response to the news of Sean Tagert’s death.
The 41-year-old father had a neurodegenerative pathology, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Charcot’s disease.
Following a cardiac arrest in 2017, the condition of the patient required constant care at home, all the more expensive as his reimbursement for care was decreasing.
In a message of July 25, 2019, Sean Tagert revealed that two officials from Vancouver Coastal Health—the regional health authority supposed to provide health services to the sick—came to his home and talked to his mother. “They told his mother that they were there to cut his funding for care hours.” Unable to pay the 237 euros ($263.50) for the additional four hours per day needed for his care (the plan would only pay for 20 hours per day), the patient resigned himself to ask for medically assisted suicide, which, in turn, is fully funded.
On August 6, 2019, Sean Tagert passed away. “Sean often said that his son was his reason for living. We would ask, on Sean’s behalf, that the government recognize the serious problems in its treatment of ALS patients and their families, and find real solutions,” said the family the day after his death.
Suicide reimbursed, vital care at the expense of the patient: Canada—and more widely the West—discovers that the utopia of freedom without constraint, without God or master, leads to the worst dystopia, or rather to the reality of a abjectly materialistic society, without morality because it is apostate—a sordid society

Is it sinful to attend the Novus Ordo (New Mass) - Is it Sinful to Not Attend the Novus Ordo on Sunday?

+ JMJ A non-SSPX Catholic is upset over the SSPX statements on not attending the Novus Ordo Missae. Ladies and gentlemen, what the SSPX, or at least its website editor, is advocating is a mortal sin against the Third Commandment. Unless the priest deviates from the language of the Sacramentary, the consecration, and thus the rest of Mass is to be considered valid. No one may elect not to attend Mass simply because abuses are occurring therein. Might I suggest that such absenteeism is its own abuse? The Third Commandment binds under mortal sin. Father So-And-So from the SSPX has no authority whatsoever to excuse attendance at Mass, be that Mass ever so unpalatable. Source:Restore DC Catholicism Well, this is interesting. First why does the SSPX issue this statement? Because it is sinful to put your faith in danger by attending a protestant service. It is likewise dangerous to put your faith in danger by attending a protestantized mass (ie the Novus Ordo Missae

Regarding Post: Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer no longer ... now Bishop Joseph Pfeiffer (Can't see this being a problem...)

+ JMJ I've been watching the popularity of the post about Fr. Pfeiffer's attempted episcopal consecration and its continued top listing on the 'popular posts' list at the bottom of posts. After some thought, I decided that I don't want to be responsible for anyone joining Fr. Pfeiffer's 'group', however unlikely that would be at this time. So I have reverted the article to the draft state. If anyone wants it reinstated, I would ask that they comment on this post with a rationale for reinstatement. P^3

What the heck is a congregation of "Pontifical Right"

+ JMJ In a discussion with a friend the question occurred to me that I didn't actually know was is involved in being a religious order of 'pontifical right'. I had a vague notion that this meant they reported to Rome as opposed to the local diocese. I'm also aware that, according to the accounts I have heard, the Archbishop received 'praise' and the written direction to incardinate priests directly into the SSPX. This is interesting because it implies that the SSPX priests were no longer required to incardinate in the local diocese but in the SSPX. This is something that belongs to an order of 'pontifical right'. Anyway here's some definitions: Di diritto pontificio is the Italian term for “of pontifical right” . It is given to the ecclesiastical institutions (the religious and secular institutes, societies of apostolic life) either created by the Holy See or approved by it with the formal decree, known by its Latin name, Decretu

Can the SSPX be right about the Novus Ordo? Revision: Feb 11, 2013 On another web forum, I was engaged in a rather heated discussion about the documents of Vatican II.

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3
