Murder and Mayhem: Ministers of Euthanasia

 I'm still overloaded, but there are a few events, incidents and thoughts that bear some consideration.

Euthanasia in Canada

In Canada euthanasia is called "Medical Assistance In Dying".  

While the 'slippery slope' argument is regarded as a fallacy (Wiki Article link), the deletion of a principle was foreseen to enable a much wider application of the 'service'.  Plus there was the example of other countries.  

An SSPX priest told me that in the Netherlands they were called to give the last rites to an elderly grandmother.  The priest arrived and there was a party going on and the Grandmother was in no distress. A family member explained that she was going to die the next day and this was her farewell party. The contradiction was obvious to the priest.

In Canada, there are no abortion laws as they were struck down decades ago.  The result is medical abortion (the technical term to exclude spontaneous abortion which is commonly called a miscarriage) is available any time up to birth.

This set the stage for euthanasia and I have remarked that the negation of the principle taking an innocent baby life would eventually result in taking an elderly person's life - voluntarily or otherwise.  

It is sad, but an indication of how weak the Catholic Church really is when a country in which Catholics represent  29.4%  of the population (it used to be higher - around 40%) has both abortion and euthanasia. 

That is the reason why this article is labelled as Crisis of the Church.

I have also noted that while there are noble efforts of the various pro-life organizations, they don't seem as well organized as the pro-death / choice organizations.  

This lack of strategic cooperation will, in my opinion, make it a very, very long road to recovery.  

Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson was prophetic when he wrote these words in the Lord of the World:

 For instance, when a volor [aircraft] crashes in front of her, Mabel's "heart leap[s] in relief" when she witnesses the Government's Ministers of Euthanasia rush in to dispatch the wounded and dying. Her husband later comforts her by saying that she knows that "the euthanisers [sic] are the real priests." Source

The Ongoing Assault on the Tridentine Mass

 The Mantra (link) is firmly in place as Cardinal Roche has made clear and just like a new religion of man emerged in 'The Lord of the World' we have a New Mass, New Theology and ergo, as some have said, a New Religion.  

Before you trot off to the wrong conclusion. The modernism is, simply a movement with  the Church. Like a cancer festering the flesh and bones of the Body of Christ.  But Our Lord waits giving all the chance to repent.

Cdl Roche's words are simply and echoing of another mantra that has been uttered for decades and we should thank him for making the situation so crystal clear.

The theology of the Church has changed,” argued Roche. “Whereas before the priest represented, at a distance, all the people – they were channeled through this person who alone was celebrating the Mass. ... it is not only the priest who celebrates the liturgy but also those who are baptized with him, and that is an enormous statement to make.

This is a distortion of the actual Teaching of the Church on this point of theology.

Suffice to say, it seems that many of the sisters, nuns, brothers, monks, priests, bishops, cardinals, and perhaps even popes have become Ministers of Euthanasia of the immortal souls of the faithful, condemning them to an eternity of suffering in Hell.  

That is not to say that there aren't those who are stand with Our Lord Jesus Christ, but the former occupy the positions of power and the good are too weak, too unorganized (like at the beginning of the Second Vatican Council) to mount a defence of the Catholic Truth.

Conclusion

The reality is that there is nothing new in these events, Traditional Catholics have seen them in the past, hopefully it will help some awaken from their stupor. 

The news can be depressing, but the reality is that nothing has changed for us. We need to work for our salvation and those under our care. Once that is in underway, then we can offer a hand to others.

There is consolation to be found in this, God is Just and we are not to judge the state of the soul of others, we have to answer for ourselves. That will be quite enough for anyone to do.

"Father, Should I Attend That Mass?" Advice on Attending Non-SSPX Latin Masses

By
 + JMJ I see that the 'resistors' are in a tizzy because Fr. Robinson used them as an example instead of the sedevacantists. What is interesting is that you can apply the exact same reasons against going to a sede mass as that of the 'resistors'. Namely: On the other extreme are those situations where an SSPX priest knows that a certain non-SSPX traditionalist venue is a grave danger to the faith . Frankly, most, if not all, of the Resistance Masses would fall into this category. In many cases, the behavior of these priests has been and continues to be scandalous, by their (A) spirit, their (B) preaching, and their indiscriminate conferral of the (C) priesthood and (D) episcopacy. To attend a Mass with such ongoing scandals poses a serious danger to the souls of the faithful. Yep, looking at A,B,C and D the shoe fits. On this basis the "resistors" = "sedevacantists".

Correcting Caricatures of the SSPX

By
 + JMJ Introduction First, a little background on the FSSP St. John Vianney Chapel in Mission Hill Kansas.  After the 1988 consecrations and the foundation of the FSSP there was a consistent trend of Dioceses allowing the SSPX to run chapels and churches near SSPX locations. As with any 'organizational change' there were those who didn't agree with the change and no longer sought the sacraments from the SSPX. I heard from friends that in that era there was a lot of anger and tension (on both sides) between the St. Mary's SSPX and Mission Hill FSSP.  Second, there have been caricatures of the SSPX position (some are evident below) in which personal opinions of SSPX priests and laity are taken as the official position or conflated with those of sedevacantists or 'resistance'. Recent Perspectives of the SSPX Position In the shadow of the consecrations a fever pitch accusations and opinions how surfaced - many of which include caricatures of the SSPX positions, of w...

SSPX: Why Is the SSPX So Criticized?

By
 + JMJ As long as you are ok with what happens in other Catholic Churches, Traditional Catholics will be left 'alone'.  This is a paraphrase of words spoken by an Archbishop to Traditional Catholics (with a sprinkling of SSPX) who had requested the Traditional Latin Mass under Summorum Pontificum. This reflects that attitude of the Church towards anyone who takes issue with some of the ambiguities of Vatican II and the post-conciliar magisterium.  If you reject the papacy but are ok with V2, the New Mass, and what Rome has stated since 1965 - then you are welcome. Question some of the more abiguous statements and ask for Rome to realise that a circle is not a square - then you are in for a world of hurt. This is where the SSPX exists and has existed from almost its very first moments. Pointing out contradictions with previous magisterium is not acceptable - under any condition. Why? Because it will cause the whole V2 house of cards to fall. I guess only when the contradic...

Stories: Early Days of Tradition Part 8 - Convention Centre Chapel

By
 + JMJ I came to Tradition a few years after they had bought a chapel. My wife told me of the earlier years when Fr. Normandin would come to town and Mass would be held in a room at the convention centre.  He'd start by blessing the room and then proceed with Mass. This went on for a while before the one of the faithful found a small hall that would suit just fine. They pooled their money and bought the building.  Then came the work as the retiree's refinished the floor, setup the sactuary. Oh, did I mention that I heard that the hall had been used by a motorcycle gang? The floor needed a lot of work.  I remember seeing pictures of the founders working to make the hall into a fitting place for the Sacrifice of the Mass. That little chapel would be a refuge like many others serviced by Fr. Normandin.  From Thunderbay, Ontrario to Nanaimo, British Columbia - the SSPX chapels are all the results of Fr. Normandin's missionary work in those desperate times. Without h...

How many more must die for the throne? or How to combat FUD!

By
 + JMJ How many more must die for the throne? (Movie Quote: Prince Caspian) The Spread of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt I've seen a lot of FUD spreading across the intergnat on various stats etc.   So let's put this in context ... especially the perspective of those people in positions of authority who need to make decisions to protect the lives of their citizens. Yep, this is going to be that type of post.  Like it or not the leaders of our governments have their authority from God.  So, as Catholics should know, you need to have a very good reason to deliberately disobey the orders of their superiors. This is basic St. Thomas Aquinas ... so don't blame me for discussing things from a Catholic perspective. The leaders of our countries have taken action to protect the vulnerable of our countries.   As much as the young and not-so-young may whine and complain - I have to ask how many more of our elderly have to die? What the armchair virologists and ec...
