A Biretta? US Dictator Bishop "Forbids" Facing The Lord

Lexington Bishop John Stowe "forbids" all ad orientem worship in his diocese as well as the use of biretta and maniple.

His decree which takes effect on Ash Wednesday was published by Rich Raho on Twitter.com (February 3).

For Stowe, the proper way of receiving Communion kneeling at the communion rail is an “unauthorised adaptation on the posture for receiving Communion.” Having received his "formation" at the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University, he likely doesn't know better.

The little dictator also "allows" only one Fraternity of St Peter priest to celebrate the Roman Mass only in St Francis de Sales Church. He closed a second location at St Peter's. No other priest is “allowed” to celebrate Mass, Stowe believes.

Rorate Caeli comments on Twitter.com, “Oh, the gay bishop. Not shocking. Perversion and anti-liturgical impositions seem to go hand in hand.” Another user wrote, “Tell me you want a red hat [read: biretta] without actually telling me you want a red hat.”

He has so little to do in his diocese that he has to worry about restricting the TLM, maniples and birettas for priests? He probably spends most of the day fondling himself looking at gay porno on the Internet....like most "good" Vatican II priests in their 60's-70's and 80's do.

Diocese of Lexington, KY, issues harsh decree on 1) the implementation of TC, limiting it to only one priest (FSSP) and one church (the TLM in another church had to be discontinued), and 2) banning ad orientem, birettas and maniples in celebrations of the Novus Ordo. Kneeling at the altar rail to receive communion is also described as "unauthorized".

Why would he forbid the use of Beretta? Is he one of those "Glock Perfection" groupies or HK snobs? They're just the worst.

Now this should be very interesting since the one FSSP priest in the diocese must offer the Mass ad orientum as part of the FSSP's charism.

What he really forbids is the Catholic faith

Ignore Cupich if you have the financial wherewithal to protect you from him removing you from your Priesthood and rectory.
I remember long ago telling that pro-choice Jesuit Congressman Drinan to go "f" himself. Yeah, I said it to him in NYC as he was ascending from a subway exit, I was wearing my collar. He practically pooped in his pants, never expecting a devout Catholic …More

He practically pooped in his pants, never expecting a devout Catholic calling him out on his pro-choice voting record. What did he expect a Priest (whch I am) to do? Tell him he was only helping pregnant women?

I would address Gordo the same way.

Cupich is an ass----, so is Tobin, Gregory, this bishop, and all of Francis appointments. I'm just a highschool teacher, but my advise to good priests and seminarians is basically the same....say to any liberal bishops like Francis, or Francis himself, "GO f--- yourself"

I agree these jackholes (aka fake priests) have no business in the Church in ANY capacity except as penitents..:not even to clean it. They are blasphemers of the sacred. We TLM adherents will have secret TLM Masses in homes, garages, halls, wherever we can. The deeds of this cabal (masking as Christ’s Shepherds) are only serving to increase our will, our numbers, our resolve. Our $$$ will support our dedication to our legitimate mission. Gay clergy and those who support such abominations should step down & seek penance in solitude as a cloister or as a hermit. They are anathema.
