From Sandro Magister:
To His Eminence Card. Robert Sarah
Dear Eminence,
Pain and indignation invade my heart to hear certain incredible news: They have forbidden private masses in St. Peter’s!
If it were not for the restrictions imposed by the Coronavirus, I would take the first flight to come to Rome and get on my knees in front of the door of Santa Marta (now the Papal residence) until the Holy Father has this edict withdrawn.
It was the thing that strengthened my faith most every time I came to Rome: at exactly seven o’clock I would enter the sacristy (where I almost always would meet that holy man, the Archbishop, then Cardinal Paolo Sardi); a young priest would come forward and would help me to dress in the vestments, and then they take me to an altar (in the Basilica proper or in the grottoes, that would make no difference to me, we were in St. Peter’s Basilica!). I think these were the masses that, in my life, I celebrated with more fervor and emotion, sometimes with tears praying for our living martyrs in China (now abandoned and pushed into the bosom of the schismatic church by the “Holy See” [as that document of June 2020 was presented without signatures and without the revisions of the Congregation for doctrine]).
It is time to reduce the excessive power of the Secretariat of State. Remove these sacrilegious hands from the communal home for all the Faithful in the world! Let them content themselves with playing worldly diplomacy with the father of lies. Let them make the Secretariat of State “a den of thieves”, But leave the devoted people of God alone!
“It was night!” (John 13:30)
Your Brother Joseph Zen, SDB
Go here to read the rest. None of this would be happening if the Father of Lies were not an honored guest at the Vatican throughout this kidney stone of at Pontificate.
God has given us Cardinal Zen as a sign of hope and as His response to the devilish Vatican. Some day Cardinal Zen will become a saint for our era. In my mind he already is.
In cold New England we use to put our young tomato plants out early in cold frames to “harden them off” before planting. I feel like God is doing that (preparing us) to his faithful to harden us off against this present gang in Rome. Hopefully, the warmer light will come soon and we can continue growing in the faith again.
Not a shock Pope Chastisement hung a picture of Judas in his office.
Father of Seven, Judas is his patron “saint”.
