A painless way to help Fr Mawdsley. Just buy a book or two. Buy several and give them to your friends or leave them in the back of the Church!
From Fr Z's Blog
The ramifications for a priest of being canceled are manifold. Depending on their past (whether they are late vocations and have a pension) or their families (perhaps well-to-do), life can be really complicated.
“Canceled” usually means not just emotional turmoil and enduring moral injury but also financial devastation.
There is a Coalition for Canceled Priests now, which is a good initiative. They too, as I have tried to do with Gregorian Masses, help to arrange Mass stipends to help men get by. Give them some consideration.
Here is a concrete instance of a canceled priest and a concrete way of support.
Fr. James Mawdsley was ordained in 2016 for the FSSP. He was subsequently suspended because he refused to go along with COVID restrictions about Communion on the tongue and face diapers and because on account of Traditionis custodes which complicated reassignment. He is a man of very firm will. For example, he once spent 17 months in solitary confinement in Burma as a prisoner of conscience.
Fr. Mawdsley has some books. You can give him some support by getting his books and perhaps also giving them to others. HERE For example, for the Kindle edition (there are also paperback and hardback)

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
