Francis Cardinal Violates Covid Blasphemy Laws - Censored
Mauritius state TV MBC censored the Christmas message of Port-Louis Cardinal Maurice Piat, 80, the diocese announced on December 28.
An eliminated 179-word paragraph dealt with negative effects of the Covid measures, quarantine regulations and increased work from home offices fuelling a "climate of fear." Piat stressed the economic consequences, e.g. skyrocketing cost of living and a plummeting currency.
The diocese called the censorship shocking, hurtful and disrespectful of freedom of expression and religious culture. It announced a formal complaint with the Independent Broadcasting Authority.
MBC confirmed the censorship of excerpts “not in line” and broadcasted the entire message on December 29 - when nobody cared about it anymore.
This is off topic, but perhaps it is very newsworthy and revealing as to the actual health of Pope Francis. I watched the New Years Eve Te Deum and Vespers from St. Peter's that was today. It is on YouTube and the VAtican website. Pope Francis ALWAYS officiated, and ALWAYS celebrated Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at the end. Today, some Cardinal officiated, and Francis just gave a short speech, and then sat slumped in a chair. His participation was minimal at best. I think it is a sign that he is seriously ill. Too tired to celebrate the Vespers and give the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Nor did he kneel before the Blessed Sacrament when exposed. He also cancelled his appearance tomorrow to visit the Nativity Scene/Christmas Creche in St. Peters....the Vatican claims to prevent large crowds...which is BS, because there were large crowds in St. Peters tonight for the Vespers, and there are sometimes large crowds for his Angelus blessing on Sundays, and Wednesday general audience. He did'nt to the full Urbi et Orbi blessing on Christmas day He looked ill at his General Audience on Wednesday He did not participate in the Vespers tonight-------and always did before. He won't be visiting the Nativity Scene tomorrow as he usually did. I would not be surprised if more things are cancelled. He may very well be very seriously ill. What a blow to his media fans, and his trolls he's appointed to offices in the Vatican.
He is. I researched it more. This is copied from the "Aleteia" website "To everyone’s surprise, Pope Francis did not preside over the celebrations of Vespers and the Te Deum on December 31, 2021, in thanksgiving for the past year. While the liturgical booklet indicated the Holy Father would preside, instead he was seated in the front row of St. Peter’s Basilica.Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, dean of the College of Cardinals, replaced Pope Francis in presiding over the celebrations. The Vatican press office was not able to give an explanation for the change.After the last-minute change to the December 31 celebrations, it is not impossible that the 85-year-old pontiff will not preside over the first Mass of the year 2022." I don't wish serious illness on anyone. But I think he is.
@Kenjiro M. Yoshimori Thank you for sharing these important observations, as I could not bear to watch any video with Francis in it myself. Thank you for passing this update along. The matter of his health could also be why they hurried to publish the Traditionis Custodes crackdown Dubia before Christmas, for fear of his failing health and unknowns about how a future Papacy might handle TC. It's clear they wanted to land some very precise blows against the Immemorial Mass and praxis before possibly losing the opportunity.
Oh, so beautiful! A sermon which is so moving and inspiring. Thank you so much, Cardinal Piat, and Gloria tv! May God bless us all, and offer us the grace of joy and faith in these trying times!
