(Rome) After the announcement of the death of Father Fidenzio Volpi,Vaticanista Marco Tosatti asks "What now?"
The Apostolic Commissioner of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, the Capuchin Volpi had suffered a serious stroke at the end of April. His health has since been very critical, so that the news of his death was wrongly been spread a month ago.
From anonymous websites who were close to the Apostolic Commissioner, or rather the small group of rebels within the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate , who support the provisional government, the false death report was polemically denied. The Secretary-General of the Order, Father Alfonso Bruno said on May 15 no less falsely, Father Volpi stands directly in the forefront of the government of the Order of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate. But his health never permitted it at any time following the stroke. Especially Father Alfonso Bruno, the big winner of the provisional administration, became increasingly nervous since the stroke.
Naming of a new commissioner is likely, but there is also an opportunity for a change of course
The death of the Apostolic Commissioner has changed the situation abruptly. Therefore, Tossati's question: "What now?" What is the Holy See's reaction? If the provisional administration is to end or will there be a new commissioner? Anyway: Father Bruno can not be certain of his his leading role. An end of the provisional administration seems unlikely. A provisional administration usually lasts at least three years. The religious congregation should appoint a new Commissioner for the remaining time and the final report out in the summer of 2016 to decide whether a General Chapter of the Order can choose a new head of the order.
The naming of a new Commissioner, however, also makes a change of course in dealing with the Order possible. Had Father Volpi pursued a course of radical devastation, a new commissioner could be benevolent to the Order. Still, however, everything is open.
Commissioner Volpi leaves a field of desolation
Father Volpi leaves the once blooming Order of Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate since July 2013 after only 22 months of provisional administration as a field of desolation. Vocations have plummeted, friars who leave the Order, monasteries have been closed down, the order's own seminary was shut down and the first measure at all, the celebration of the traditional rite has been met with prohibitions.
While many Catholic orders in Europe cite a lack of vocations, the Congregation of the Religious have suppressed under the leadership of Cardinal Prefect João Braz de Aviz, one of the most flourishing Orders. Reasons for radical intervention of the young Order is still not known. Behind closed doors were sown notions that in the Order there were "crypto lefebvrian" tendencies. See Commissioner Volpi, the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate and the SSPX under Pope Francis .

These are the news....Pope Francis has ordered to send a Jesuit( one of his henchmen), the plan is to close the Franciscans of the immaculate permanently.
ReplyDeleteBut that is not all, he has prepared a deadly attack against the Benedictine Order, confiscating the monasteries and properties. so be aware...
Leave those Fr. Angelo Geiger-types still in the order alone and isolate them; let those modernists die out: they want to ban the Extraordinary Form? Then I renounce them, let the young men and young women join elsewhere. Let God judge them, as God has judged commissar Volpi.
ReplyDeleteI will NOT join their modernist orders, and I will NOT attend their modernist Mass.

ReplyDeleteBut at least one of the dissenting friars who had brought down the founders claimed on his blog that the commissar had regained full direction of the institute; was that true or not?
ReplyDeleteBy the way not even one of the FFI has gone to the SSPX or it would have been all over the news. The charge of that leaning was another lie. Yes, the disobedient must be nervous but things can always get worse for the true brothers.
ReplyDeleteI SHOULD NOT SHARE THIS...Pope Francis will launch a deadly attack against the Benedictine Order after the Synod of Bishops in October, Pope Francis will issue a Bull ordering to sell all the Benedictine Order properties and monasteries, this to give the money to the poor and heal poverty.
ReplyDeleteTo enforce this Bull, Obama will join Pope Francis. this will be similar to what the United States did to FIFA.
Then the Benedictine Order will be dismantled and dispossessed.
They will be offered to be integrated to diocesan Church if they accept the Novus Ordo.
Be aware....
I wish. Pure fantasy satire. But what do you mean give to the poor? Does that entail giving more money to six figure Sister Gay Rage?
DeleteThe Franciscan Order already fell....If the Benedictine Order falls the entire Church will fall...
DeleteThe Church will not fall. Christ guaranteed it. I believe Him. Courage, courage, courage.
DeleteApocalyptic spammer. Bookmarking to check on this later....
DeleteNOW THIS IS THE LAST THING I WILL SAY...Pope Francis will be victorious in the Synod of Bishops....The Benedictine order must summon an extraordinary assembly and react before is too late...if they don't react now, they are as good as dead. October 15 2015..
ReplyDeleteDo you promise? The last thing?
DeleteROFL!
DeleteAs a loyal non Lefebvrite son of the Roman Catholic Church, I have to ask: What in the world is a "crypto-Lefebvrian tendency." Moreover, can the geniuses behind the closed doors enumerate the "tendencies" they cite?
ReplyDeleteLong Skirts, Mundabor, Mr Zippo the entrepreneur of Madison WI and most of his contributing disciples. They are all outstanding examples of the subspecies, 'Crypto-Lefebrvian' but none of them would welcome the austerity of Econe.
DeleteYou still haven't answered my question, I'm afraid. What are the criteria for judging someone a "crypto-Lefebvrian," and where are those tendencies identified and explained? And by what competent Catholic authority?
DeleteBTW, I have no idea who the bloggers you are referring to are, I never read them, except for Mundy, who in my judgment is a loyal son of the Church. He is just looking at things through the lens of someone who grew up in a culture that was not influence by the drooling hijackers of Vatican II, so, as people so like to fruitily put is in neoacademia. he had his sights on another reality. Lived out, not dreamt up, I add. (It was even possible to ignore the droolers for a time in certain parishes across the USA and Canada, and, I would bet, in many other places across the world.)
This is my go to Catholic website. I'll look ant Mundy twice a week, and have people sending me VC and Voris, but Ol' Barnum has other acts than the RC circus to keep an eye on.
God spoke the first Word ,and He will have the last Word.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteVolpi's life was demanded of him.
ReplyDeleteThe headline reminds me of the Federal Government. Months spent, careers built. and promotions promiscuously granted to appointed succession planners. Yet, when the time comes, the actors are always unprepared because they themselves don't understand, or acknowledge, the necessary talents, wouldn't recognize them, and, most importantly, are subject to the whims of the new Big Boys who, or Big Ideas which, came on the scene after the latest succession plan was sent to molder.
ReplyDeleteThe next guy should be quaking in his boots.
