Selective Use of Canon Law: Good Bishop "Forced" to Clamp Down On Canons Of St John Cantius

Springfield Bishop Thomas Paprocki, 69, Illinois, a canon lawyer, has clamped down on the Canons of St John Cantius in his diocese.

Parishioners received a January 23 letter explaining that the Canons are [allegedly] forbidden to celebrate the Old Latin Mass on every first Sunday of the month.

Paprocki explained that he acts upon request of the rigid and legalistic Chicago Cardinal Cupich who imposed this in his Archdiocese.

Further, the Canons from Chicago Archdiocese need to claim in a written statement that the Novus Ordo “is the unique expression of the Roman Rite".

Although serving in Springfield, the Canons remain Chicago diocesan priests, and Cupich has canonical authority over them. Theoretically, Paprocki has therefore no options. Noticeably, Canon Law is not respected in the Council Church except to clamp down on Catholics. Therefore Francis rightly calls those [Catholics] who still obey Canon Law "legalistic."

So the "unique" expression of the Novus Ordo is turning away from God then?
Thanks for putting the horns on the horns and tail. Clear teaching at last!!!More

Does someone fear ruining his chances for promotion??
Side note: These grinning head shots make me ill. At the very least, take on a serious look when you're photographed, please. Think Stalin propaganda pic. Conveys the message better.More

Archbishop Fulton Sheen said “The False Prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit church. . . . The third temptation in which Satan asked Christ to adore him and all the kingdoms of the world would be His, will become the temptation to have a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world …More

The third temptation in which Satan asked Christ to adore him and all the kingdoms of the world would be His, will become the temptation to have a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a religion to destroy a religion, or a politics which is a religion--one that renders unto Caesar even the things that are God's.

Superb cartoon. I'm the sheep at the bottom or rather the sheep you can't see - hanging on to the foot of the sheep at the bottom. Not to worry - Our Lady has her mantle spread out underneath the Priest.

@imajvmb I'm really jealous of that sheep with a whole leg to cling on to - looks way too comfy there!

Saint Sabina in Chicago has taken down all videos of its recent Masses.

Gelovige priesters blijf trouw aan uw geloof en uw overtuiging, gehoorzaam uw bisschop niet en begin een eigen Romeinse Rooms Katholieke kerk.

Who will submit to the proposed “program of reeducation”.

They treat the lay faithful like children, from their childish looking modernist graphic design for the sinodal way to this ridiculous new catechesis on learning to love the NO.

Over my dead body!

The faithful are still left to wonder what about the TLM is so threatening to the NO that it must be strangled out of existence. If the NO is simply an updated expression of the same faith, coexistence should not cause a problem.

The Pope and his cardinals are paving the way for a one world religion and the TLM is getting in the way.

I tend to think that the reason the Germans were asked to temper their “synodal path” was because the Synod on Synodality is going to attempt to draw the entire Church into the depths of filth they were digging towards. The TLM is thoroughly incompatible with this.

We all know that, were it not for those recalcitrant Trads, the Church would be blossoming into the full flower of its Second Pentecost by now.

Sarcasm, right?

Reeducation for Catholics - why not for liberals?
Lisi Sterndorfer
And this from Bishop Paprocki. Does anyone still believe that many bishops will stand up for the traditional Mass?

This is all very depressing. One thinks there are no "good guys" in the episcopate. Remember, Cardinal Dolan was considered a "conservative" Catholic!
