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.

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

By
 + JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them.   I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest.  This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis?  When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due.   This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too th...

Tradical Commentary on: Restore DC Catholicism: SSPX And Austrilian Bishops - Two Different Errors

By
+ JMJ An interesting thing has happened on the discussion that prompted my article on whether it is sinful to attend the Novus Ordo Missae .  The blog owner of RDCC has shut down discussion by locking the article. That is their prerogative, but I am puzzled as to why? Perhaps it has something to do with some of the latter comments. They didn't believe the teaching on intention with regards to confecting the Sacraments.  This is not the first time I've experienced incredulity on this topic ( reference articles ). Really this isn't about what they believe but the truth. They seem to believe that the objections to the Novus Ordo Missae are simply about "overly delicate sensibilities".  In response to this I am reblogging a number of articles by the SSPX. Perhaps it was the comment made by Bishop Schneider, a currently well revered hero (who deserved the accolades) but apparently has said something similar to the SSPX.   I suspect that it is more...

Australia: Seal of the Confessional Outlawed at the Federal Level

By
+ JMJ This is simply another step in the attack on the Catholic Church. Interestingly, California's attempt to do the same failed. P^3 Courtesy of FSSPX.news Australia: Seal of the Confessional Outlawed at the Federal Level December 19, 2019 Source: fsspx.news On December 2, 2019, the Australian Conference of Bishops (ACBC) denounced the agreement between the Attorneys General of each state and the Australian federal government, with the aim of standardizing the laws imposing on priests the obligation to denounce any alleged fact of ill-treatment of minors that would be learned in the context of the sacrament of penance. “Counterproductive and unjust” are the terms with which Archbishop Mark Coleridge, Archbishop of Brisbane and President of the ACBC, denounced the new prejudicial legal norms on the sacramental seal of the confessional in Australia. The attorneys gener...

Comparision of the Tridentine, Cranmer and Novus Ordo Masses

By
+ JMJ I downloaded the comparison that was linked in the previous article on the mass (here) . ... a very good reference! P^3 From: Whispers of Restoration (available at this link) . CHARTING LITURGICAL CHANGE Comparing the 1962 Ordinary of the Roman Mass to changes made during the Anglican Schism; Compared in turn to changes adopted in the creation of Pope Paul VI’s Mass in 1969 The chart on the reverse is a concise comparison of certain ritual differences between three historical rites for the celebration of the Catholic Mass Vetus Ordo: “Old Order,” the Roman Rite of Mass as contained in the 1962 Missal, often referred to as the “Traditional Latin Mass.”The Ordinary of this Mass is that of Pope St. Pius V (1570) following the Council of Trent (1545-63), hence the occasional moniker “Tridentine Mass.” However, Trent only consolidated and codified the Roman Rite already in use at that time; its essential form dates to Pope St. Gregory the Great (+604), in whose time the R...

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

By
+ 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
