Cardinal Collins Just Reduced a Catholic Lady to Tears

This has nothing to do with the CCP virus! It's just another modernist attack on the Blessed Sacrament and an attempt to end reverent Communions!

From Toronto Catholic Witness

By Barona

This morning I witnessed the tragic reality of a Catholic lady being refused Holy Communion. Her "crime" was to request reception in the Catholic manner: on the tongue. 

Tears were in her eyes, as we spoke after Mass. The dear lady was heart broken, on the Feast of the Scared Heart. She spoke of the bishops in this manner: "they are acting worse than atheists. Do they not fear for their souls?..."

Good Catholic priests have their hands bound by a Cardinal, who is, let us be clear, abusing his authority. 

This tragedy stems from Cardinal Collins' canonically illegal edict "banning" Holy Communion on the tongue:  

Upon the strong recommendation of medical authorities, Holy Communion is received only in the hand at this time. (Since each communicant has the right to receive communion either on the tongue or in the hand, the traditional practice of the option of receiving on the tongue will be restored as soon as the public health situation allows for that). Communicants are instructed to remove their masks, using the straps and without touching the front of their masks, while the person ahead of them is receiving Holy Communion. 

It should be noted that Holy Communion in the hand was NOT authorized by Premier Doug Ford. In fact, Ontarians can comfort themselves that the Premier (unlike other jurisdictions) is not an anti-Christian bigot, where these bigots have attempted to take upon themselves authority over Christ's Church. 

Let us return to Cardinal Collins' claim that "medical authorities" have convinced him to violate OUR rights as Catholics, and criminally deny Catholics the Holy Eucharist. Contrary to what the Cardinal claims, medical opinion is that it is possible to distribute Holy Communion on the tongue without unreasonable risk. 

But this scandal goes deeper. The deception by the Archdiocese of Toronto is exposed in that the Archdiocese of Vancouver, following Church Law and Catholic common sense is continuing the Catholic norm of Holy Communion on the tongue. 

"The faithful have the right to receive Communion in the hand or on the tongue". 

The full Vancouver document can be read here. 

So we have a problem: the virus is more "deadly" in Toronto. Actually what this really is about is appeasing the elite downtown establishment in Toronto, rather than standing up for Catholic rights. Collins' handlers are telling him how to maintain his public image with the powerful, wealthy, downtown elite and media.

For those Catholics still interested in their rights, and not following along like blind sheep, go here to learn that Cardinal Collins has NO authority whatsoever to do what he is doing. 

As an aside, I wrote to Cardinal Collins three weeks ago. He has not even had the courtesy to reply. Interestingly, His Excellency Bishop Henry of Calgary did reply to an email from Vox Cantoris over the H1N1 Holy Communion Scandal. Bishop Henry is a gentlemen. He was a man who had humility, and eventually God rewarded him with the courage to be the ONLY Canadian Prelate who took an open stand against the aggressive upsurge of fascist paganism in this poor, sad country of Canada.  

So where does all this leave Catholics and their RIGHTS in 2020? Perhaps we need to re-read what Vox Cantoris wrote in 2014 when "they" violated OUR RIGHTS over the H1N1 Holy Communion Scandal:  

Reminiscent of the false flag of H1N1 when many bishops in Canada had the temerity to bow to public health officials and alter liturgical norms and practices....

In a January 6 letter to priests, due to the apparent "escalation in influenza" various "temporary" measures were enacted in addition to the banning of the Body of Christ on the tongue including the elimination of the distribution of the Precious Blood, emptying of Holy Water fonts and the practice of shaking hands at the Peace. 

The reception of Holy Communion at Mass by the people is not mandatory, only the priest celebrant is required to complete the Sacrifice. If the influenza was so serious, then all should have refrained on order of the Archbishop and made a Spiritual Communion which would have come under his authority. The banning of distribution of Holy Communion on the tongue is not within the Archbishop's purview. The Law of the Church provides that it is the norm and it is communion in the hand that is the indult, the exception.

Please pray for this Catholic lady and like so many others, denied the Holy Eucharist. Pray too, that Cardinal Collins will take heed of the cry of the poor, the outcast, and the marginalized. Pray that he hear the weeping of the "daughters of Jerusalem" who wish to be with their Lord. 

Pray that the Church in Toronto cease being the Church of the Abandonment. As the Catholic lady told me, "a thousand bad things happened, but two thousand good things...this crisis has cleared up a lot...it has exposed the bishops for what they really are..."
