A young believer kneels in the cathedral of Lima and waits in vain for communion to be given to him. Archbishop Castillo Mattasoglio simply ignored him.
(Lima) Monsignor Carlos Castillo Mattasoglio, Archbishop of Lima and Primate of Peru appointed by Pope Francis, is so “merciful” that he refuses oral Communion to believers in his cathedral.
One scene was captured on video and posted on Facebook by Policia Liturgica. The recorded incident happened last Sunday, August 8th. The mass celebrated by Archbishop Castillo in the cathedral was broadcast directly by the main state television channel TV Perù.
The footage shows two believers, a young man and a young woman, approaching the archbishop to receive communion. Both indicate that they would like to receive communion on the tongue. The young man who approaches Msgr. Castillo first kneels to receive communion, but the bishop does not give it to him, but walks past him to turn to the young woman. He also refuses communion to her when she wants communion on the tongue. Whether Archbishop Carlos Castillo Mattasoglio also said something dismissive can be guessed from the disappointed expression on the young man's face.
Obviously, even senior shepherds are no longer aware of the Church's ordinances which they are supposed to represent. Oral communion is the regular form of receiving Communion. The Bishops' Conferences have, in the course of the liturgical reform of Pope Paul VI., showed the possibility had been offered, if they see a “necessity” for admitting Communion in hand as an extraordinary form in addition to the ordinary form of receiving Communion. While Communion in hand could be abolished at any time, Communion on the tongue cannot be refused, no matter what rank a shepherd has in the Church.
The two believers, who were denied Holy Communion by the Archbishop of Lima, would have had no problem if they had demanded a “right” to Communion with the reference to live together in a wild marriage or as divorced remarried or to be in gay relationships. (Trudeau was given a Solemn Traditional Latin Mass Funeral with Chant) The post-synodal letter Amoris laetitia by Pope Francis makes it possible. It grants what no believer is entitled to.
The same “merciful” Church of Pope Francis, the Church of the “Open Doors”, the Church of the “Field Hospital”, however, denies believers what they are actually entitled to by denying them Communion, unity with the Lord, for trivial reasons.
If things are turned upside down contrary to their nature, a spiral is set in motion that creates a suction in which more and more things are turned upside down. In this specific case, it should not be forgotten that Pope Francis retired Archbishop Castillo at the beginning of 2019, one of the outstanding bishops of Latin America, Cardinal Cipriani Thorne.
Wherever ideology prevails, as in the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes, events such as the refusal of Communion in the Lima Cathedral are not far away.

I find neoTraditionalists tend to argue details of the law and technicalities. Laws are not words. Laws live in an environment. The "Spirit of Vatican II" is the Law. People should hold onto straws and not kid themselves.And the "Spirit of Vatican II" is of the Church adapting itself to the Principles of the Enlightenment. Even Cardinal Ratzinger said that much. But the Enlightenment is the Light of,Lucifer,the Bearer of that False Light.
ReplyDeleteNot just “neo-trads” but lawyers and judges.

I had an image.
ReplyDeleteThis guy on his knees in Hell with a demon standing in front of him with a glass of cold water and an eye-dropper. Bishop fancy-pants sticks his tongue out and begs for a drop of the water. The demon laughs and walks away.
The scenario repeats. Forever.
