OPFENBACH, Germany, March 20, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Almost all priests and roughly half of the seminarians currently at a German seminary of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), a traditionalist community of priests and seminarians, have been infected by the coronavirus.

On the evening of March 13, the seminary had first announced that a priest, who stayed at the seminary as a guest, had contracted the virus. At the time, the community, which is dedicated to the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass, had stated that all Masses in Wigratzbad would take place without the seminarians joining.

“With the powerful help of faith, hope and charity, we do not let ourselves be discouraged. In a few days, the first healed ones will be able to take over from the newly sick, to maintain the spiritual and material life of the house,” the seminary community wrote.

Archbishop Crepaldi: “The EU is Dead! Cause of Death:Coronavirus”

Archbishop Crepaldi, Bishop of Trieste and an outstanding representative of Catholic social teaching, notes the death of the EU in his latest statement - cause of death: coronavirus.

 Archbishop Giampaolo Crepaldi, the Bishop of Trieste and emeritus chair of the International Observatory Cardinal Van Thuan for the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the most outstanding representatives of Catholic social teaching.  He has now published a document on the coronavirus crisis, in which he states "the death of the European Union by Coronavirus".  The Archbishop of Trieste wrote, among other things:

 “The experience of the past few days has shown that the European Union is not only divided, but a phantom.  There have been selfish disputes among member states rather than cooperation.  Italy is isolated and left alone.  The European Commission intervened late and the European Central Bank intervened poorly.  Given the epidemic, every state has shut itself down.  The resources that Italy needs to deal with the emergency, which would have been associated with currency devaluation at other times, for example, now depend on the Union's decisions, which we have to bow to.

“The Corona virus has definitely exposed the artificiality of the European Union.  It is unable to achieve cooperation between the states to which it has imposed itself through the transfer of sovereignty.  The lack of moral cement was not compensated for by the institutional and political cement.  This inglorious end of the European Union by the corona virus is to be noted.  It is also important to think that cooperation between European countries in the fight for health is also possible outside of supranational political institutions.”

Luxembourg’s Jesuit Cardinal Doesn’t Believe in Miracles

Cardinal Hollerich, Jesuit and Archbishop of Luxembourg.

(Luxembourg) Luxembourg has only 614,000 inhabitants, half of whom are foreigners, mainly because of the EU institutions. Despite being such a small country, the Grand Duchy has almost 500 people infected with coronavirus. For comparison: the Empire of Japan, which has a population of 126,860,000, two hundred and seven times more, almost only Japanese, does not even have twice as many diseases with 963 cases.

The first coronavirus case only occurred in Luxembourg on February 29 and in Japan on January 16. A significant number of illnesses (more than 25) were only reached in Luxembourg on March 12 and in Japan on February 5.

Luxembourg, open to all sides, which reacted just as late as other EU member states, has been affected by the coronavirus epidemic a hundred times more quickly than Japan in a much shorter period of time.

The Archbishop of the Grand Duchy, Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich SJ, who is also President of the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Union (COMECE), is also in quarantine.

The cardinal commented on the coronavirus epidemic in a telephone conversation with the Luxemburger Wort, the country's largest daily newspaper, the majority of which is owned by the archdiocese. The advocate of open borders said that "some people" didn't "believe" in miracles.
Archbishop Hollerich was asked what he said to the faithful, who were disappointed and outraged by the bishops' draconian measures to suspend all masses in some countries. His answer:

 “Most people understand this because it's about saving lives. Saving the lives of the elderly and the vulnerable part of the population, not putting them at risk. And most people take it very well. But there are also some who complain: And now we are being taken away! Or where there is such a belief in miracles, which I do not share. ”

The cardinal's sober-sounding answer is rather sobering. Belief in miracles plays an important role in Christian belief, because through miracles Christ has revealed Himself as the Messiah and son of God and testified to his authority.

For Cardinal Hollerich, does this all belong to a distant past that no longer plays a role today and now? Does Cardinal Hollerich believe that God has withdrawn from his creation? Or does he believe that God can no longer work miracles in the 21st century? Or does the cardinal make a probability calculation?

No matter how you look at it, such an answer comes from the mouth of a prince. Or is it perhaps a good fit with the European Union, which he represents as the chairman of the episcopal conferences?
The questioning of the archbishop and confrom of Pope Francis appears questionable in another respect. The journalist of the Luxemburger Wort emphasized that petition processions are being held in several locations to seek protection from the almighty against the epidemic. Throughout the ages, petition processions have been a tried and tested means of Christianity to seek heaven's help against epidemics and other evils.

Cardinal Hollerich, however, vigorously contradicted:

“I call the faithful to prayer, but never to processions. The only ones who enjoy processions are the viruses. ”

The cardinal's horizontal view seems to lack the vertical perspective. The Jesuit, who was created by Pope Francis a Cardinal in October 2019, may be surprised, but there are still devout Catholics who believe in miracles and who are convinced that God, as the creator of heaven and earth, really is Lord of all creation and that it is entirely conceivable that He wants to say something to humanity even with a coronavirus pandemic.

This is contrasted by shepherds who limit themselves to being willing and hasty executors of state instructions, even in areas such as culture where the state has no jurisdiction.

Cardinal Hollerich emphasized: "Protecting life must be an absolute priority", but some might doubt that he meant eternal life.

Pope Warns: “We Need to Be Distrustful of Socialist Propaganda”

[TFP.ORG] The Pope was Benedict XV (1914-1922). He warned the faithful against the evils of socialism in a document issued exactly one hundred years ago this month on March 11, 1920.

The title says it all: “Epistle Soliti Nos: On the Need to Beware of Socialist Propaganda.”1 Although a century old, Pope Benedict’s warning remains perfectly up to date. It seems appropriate to present a summary here.2

However, the facts that gave rise to this pontifical warning must first be told.

Ideal Culture Medium for Socialist and Communist Propaganda

The pontificate of Benedict XV (1914-1922) took place during one of the most troubled periods in history. There was the First World War, which the Pope called “the suicide of civilized Europe,” with all its horrors of death and destruction. The conflict was followed by a sinister procession of revolutions (notably the Bolshevik Revolution). The “Spanish flu,” one of the deadliest epidemics in human history, struck at this time.

The “chaos and dramatic change that had arisen from the ashes of devastated Europe — the fall of empires, the creation of new states, the seizure of Russia by communism”3 — created an ideal culture medium for the germination of socialist and communist propaganda: political and social unrest, economic crisis, unemployment, misery and hunger.

Swedish “Priest” Arrested for Smuggling Invader in Suitcase

Camilla Ulén, a priest in Gävle, Sweden, has been accused of smuggling an Afghan migrant out of a detention facility in a suitcase.

The 20-year-old migrant, who was being held pending deportation, disappeared on February 23, according to a report in Nyheter Idag. He was visited by two women shortly before his disappearance, one of whom was a priest from the Church of Sweden. The priest was carrying a large suitcase which she told authorities was to be used for a baptism.

Sweden’s Migration Board has since accused the priest of helping the migrant to escape. Its Director General, Mikael Ribbenvik, said in a statement that the incident had damaged the Board’s trust in the Church of Sweden. “We were tricked,” he said.

Arsonists Set Fire to Ancient Catholic Church in France

Arsonists set fire to the church of Saint-Apollinaire in eastern France this week, after which the parish priest declared, “This was the last thing we needed, given recent events.”

The gothic church of Saint-Apollinaire, whose origins date back to the 12th century, is located in the village of Meximieux, in the department of Ain, France.

In a Facebook post, the parish priest, Father Sylvain, thanked local firefighters, who managed to put out the blaze on Monday afternoon. He also noted that police have arrested the perpetrators of the crime but does not go into detail regarding their number or the motivation behind their action.

“It is our faith that is violated and it is our community that they wanted to strike,” the priest said.

To the Bishops of America

By David Martin

In the wake of the Coronavirus scare, we are seeing an escalating ban on Communion on the tongue, the suspension of Masses, and the closing of our Churches. In all honesty, is turning our back on divine help the answer in a crisis situation? Can you not see that political fear mongers are using the bishops to try to shut down the Church?  

The truth is that there exists no pandemic here at home. Some 45,000 people die from the flu each year in America, this having been the case for the past several years, yet there was never a pandemic crisis, and now a mere 101 deaths from Coronavirus in America suddenly has areas on lockdown, with flights cancelled, important events postponed, and schools and churches closed.

This corona-phobia crisis was sprung on us by the global elite to tank the market and restrict our mobility as citizens and Christians, and now we see people hallucinating and scurrying about out of fear, thanks to the satanically controlled media that is working overtime to advance this scare crusade through our channels of communication.

The worst of it is that these secular powers are seeing this as a means of controlling and closing down our Church and they are banking on you to execute this for them, knowing it could turn their scare tactic into the real thing. Hence we ask that you not buckle under pressure but that you stand firm as true shepherds and call the shots as to what or what will not be done in the Church in response to Coronavirus.

For the leaders of the Church Militant are called to stand against the forces of Socialism and U.N. Globalism and not allow these pestilent forces to exert the least influence in the Church. For what they promote is a virus of disinformation dubbed by St. Paul "the operation of error, to believe lying." (2 Thess. 2:10)

The coronavirus exists but it’s not the pandemic they’re making it to be – yet. Coronavirus was cultured by globalists so they could use it as a bio-weapon to instill fear and put us on lockdown, so we ask that you repel this negative influence and not move forward with any decision to suspend Masses or close Churches.

The Adversary Fears the Mass

The fatuity of suspending Masses is that it short-changes the faithful of needed grace just when they need it most. The infernal enemy fears the continuance of Holy Mass more than anything else since he knows this will dispel his fear crusade and thwart subsequent plans he has to turn this into an all-out epidemic.

Until now, the adversary has sought to move forward with his plan but couldn’t do so until the Mass was hoisted out of the way, but now the bishops are opening the way for him to shift gears into part-II of this plan. Is this the time to cast aside the only Medicine we have that will prevent this gruesome outbreak?

During pandemics of history like the Black Plague or Spanish Flu, the Church had recourse to God and would carry the Blessed Sacrament through the streets imploring God's help, and God heard their prayers and shielded many from sickness. 

Our only recourse during temptation or crisis is to likewise turn to God with trust, for we will certainly forfeit divine protection if we close the Church and turn to the fearful ways of man.

Communion in the Hand Spiking the Plague

I might add that if your objective is to not contribute to the spread of COVID-19, you should ban Communion in the hand, since this is the very thing that spreads virus, at least according to the experts. Before Mass, parishioners put their hands on handrails, faucets, toilet bowls, and wipe their kids' running nose, and then have the Host placed in their infected hands so they can put the contaminated Host in their mouth.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider has issued an excellent statement on this, in which he also points out that there is no historical record of Communion on the tongue having assisted in the spread of any contagious disease. We urge you to consult his statement as it will convince you that Communion in the hand will most certainly enhance the spread of Coronavirus.

Especially, we urge you to recognize the God-given power you have to make a difference in this crisis. If the American bishops agree with one mind to keep the churches open, to continue the celebration of Mass, and to ban the practice of Communion in the hand, they will foil this sinister plan to enslave America and make her sick. You have push-button power to make the difference, so please use it, remembering the admonition of Christ: “Unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required.” (Luke 12:48)

Sincerely in Christ and His Holy Mother,

David Martin

Corona is the Plague Saint

In Anzù, Northern Italy, the hotbed of the coronavirus in Europe, is a basilica where the relics of Saint Victor and Saint Corona are being preserved since the 9th century.

Saint Corona was only fifteen when she professed her Christian Faith during the persecution of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius around 165.

Corona was arrested and tied by her feet to the tops of two palm trees which were bent to the ground. When the palms were let loose she was torn apart. According to the Roman Martyrology, this happened in Syria.

Saint Corona is especially venerated in Austria and Bavaria as the Patron Saint against epidemics.

Her feast day is May 14.

Reported Seven Priests Succumb to Corona

Edit: has anyone read Rini’s novels? 

Cremona, Italy, Mar 15, 2020 / 09:58 am (CNA).- A Catholic priest has died in Italy from coronavirus, and local Italian media reported Sunday the death of several others. No priests have previously been reported dead from the global pandemic, which has struck Italy more gravely than nearly any other country in the world.

Monsignor Vincenzo Rini was a priest of the Diocese of Cremona, close to Milan, and near Italy’s epicenter of the pandemic. Rini died Saturday.

Msgr. Rini ran Cremona’s diocesan newspaper for 30 years, and was at one time the president of the Italian bishops’ news agency. He was also a novelist, and a noted literary expert, who served as the Church’s liaison to the Cristina di Savoia Cultural Congresses, which aim to promote Christian culture in Italy.

In Avvenire, the newspaper of the Italian bishops’ conference, journalistic colleagues of Rini wrote that the priest “represented an open window to hope, the virtue that had always characterized his life.”

Coronavirus: A Globalist Scare Crusade

By David Martin

It appears that what we are seeing with the Coronavirus pandemic is a globalist plot to destabilize and spread fear. The increasing reports of bishops and priests imposing Communion in the hand on account of Coronavirus speaks of conspiracy.

45,000 people die from the flu each year in America, this having been the case for the past several years, yet there was no pandemic crisis, and now less than 20 deaths of the elderly from Coronavirus in our country suddenly transforms the praxis of Catholics rooted in 2000 years of tradition!

We know that Coronavirus was deliberately cultured by globalists, courtesy of billionaire donors like Bill Gates and George Soros, but what we're really looking at is not so much a created pandemic as a created fear crusade. Their plan is to create a state of emergency to strengthen internationalist control of the masses, e.g. to impose infected vaccines, to halt necessary imports, to rock the market, and also to control the Church. This is why we’ve been seeing U.N. globalists like Jeffrey Sachs in and out of the Vatican for the past couple years. They aim to put the Church out of commission by subjugating it to globalism.

Already we’re seeing the fruits this globalist infestation. Just this past Sunday, it was announced that all Masses in Rome have been cancelled until April 3 because of the Coronavirus epidemic. The Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes is now closed, many churches no longer allow holy water in the fonts and Communion on the tongue is now banned in several areas, including the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Why weren’t these precautions taken before when just as many people were dying each year from the flu? Why the sudden panic? The whole thing reeks of conspiracy.
 

To ensure that the public remains on edge about Coronavirus, there is every chance that globalists may soon increase the spread of this controlled virus and thus usher in part-II of this episode—a population control program wherein we might witness millions of deaths—but right now it's basically all bluff and scare, with a few deaths.

And what do the bishops do but roll along with this scare crusade like ducks on water! Prophecy has it that the day will come when the doors of the Church will close, so we may be seeing the first stages of this now.

This is all the more reason to exhort fellow Catholics to remain in their Catholic parishes since the need for true Catholic militancy assumes more importance now than ever before. The fact that churches are using Coronavirus as an excuse to impose Communion in the hand signals a real crisis, which certainly will not be solved if the good Catholics run away.

Catholics should confront their priests about their God-given right to receive Communion on the tongue and how ridiculous it is for priests to allow secular politics to run their Church. If they want to be bullies, they can bully the globalists, but their duty as shepherds is to guard the flock from these deceitful wolves. Priests should be reminded, too, that receiving Communion in the hand is far less sanitary and far more apt to spread virus than Communion in the mouth could ever be.

How is it that this political bullying from the secular powers-that-be has caused them to lose sight of simple common sense?
