Rev. Larry Holland, a 79-year-old Catholic priest recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada, said he was offered medical assistance in dying twice by hospital staff. This was despite him making it clear that he is a Catholic priest and is morally opposed to euthanasia.
Canadian Doctors Try to Railroad Catholic Priest into 'Assisted Suicide' Over Broken Hip | Frank Bergman, Slay News A Canadian Catholic priest is sounding the alarm after doctors tried to pressure him into “assisted suicide” twice while recovering from a broken hip in a hospital, despite him telling them that euthanasia goes against his beliefs. Father Larry Holland, a 79-year-old priest from the Archdiocese of Vancouver, was horrified that Canadian government-sanctioned doctors attempted to railroad him into being euthanized, despite not being terminally ill. The priest’s alarming story underscores growing concerns that Canada’s state-sanctioned assisted suicide program is spiraling far beyond its original limits. Holland said he was “very shocked” after medical pushed so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) as an “option” during his recovery from a hip fracture. Priest Offered Death While Recovering, Not Dying Holland broke his hip after falling on Christmas Day. He is …އިތުރު
The Transalpine Redemptorist community has proclaimed itself sedevacantist. In a letter dated 2 May, they wrote: "The pre-Vatican II popes condemned indifferentism as a deadly heresy. The post-Vatican II claimants to the papacy have embraced it, promoted it and acted upon it." The group has three monasteries. The community's mother house is located in Papa Stronsay, Orkney, Scotland. They also have a house in the Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand, and a pioneer community in the Diocese of Great Falls–Billings, Montana, USA. In 2008, they broke away from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X in order to obtain regularisation from the Vatican, they were then invited by diocesan bishops to establish priories in New Zealand and Montana. Critics accuse the community of fostering a personality cult surrounding the two leading priests. In their new letter, signed by all the members, they state that "the modernist presence within the structures and hierarchy of the official Church has gone …އިތުރު

What if I told you that one of the most important parts of the Mass was deliberately changed not accidentally, not organically, but because the Church’s understanding of sin and sacrifice on the Cross was being re-emphasized in a completely different way? All one must do is look closely at the words changed in the Offertory, from the Traditional Latin Mass to the Novus Ordo. I’m going to walk you through the exact words so you can see why this is a problem. Once you see not only what words were deleted and added, but why these sacred words were changed, you’ll see the Offertory like never before. To get the big picture, we have to go back to the “spirit of Vatican II.” In the years leading up to the council, a new theological movement began to take hold. It emphasized love over sin, mercy over judgment, resurrection over the Cross, and none of those things are wrong in themselves. But you can see in our modern world that the notion of sin has been cast aside. Why focus on the Cross …އިތުރު

DC1 St. Athanasius of Alexandria – The Doctors of the Church with Dr. Matthew Bunson From Vatican.va, an excerpt from the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI General Audience 2007: Athanasius was undoubtedly one of the most important and revered early Church Fathers. But this great Saint was above all the impassioned theologian of the Incarnation of the Logos, the Word of God who – as the Prologue of the fourth Gospel says – “became flesh and dwelt among us” (Jn 1: 14). For this very reason Athanasius was also the most important and tenacious adversary of the Arian heresy, which at that time threatened faith in Christ, reduced to a creature “halfway” between God and man, according to a recurring tendency in history which we also see manifested today in various forms. In all likelihood Athanasius was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in about the year 300 A.D. He received a good education before becoming a deacon and secretary to the Bishop of Alexandria, the great Egyptian metropolis. As a close …އިތުރު

First of all, I believe that the Novus Ordo Mass is a valid Mass. But also, in my personal opinion, it is insufficient. What do I mean by insufficient? It lacks some of the elements that mark it as our HIGHEST form of worship. Not because it is less elaborate in external elements. Not because it is not in Latin. But because it was stripped down in its prayers. Those prayers and psalms that are embedded into the rubrics themselves, most of them are gone. Now, this isn’t about whether the new Mass is valid or not. I’ve already said it is. That’s not the issue. The point here is that there’s an objective weakening in the new Mass that affects the doctrinal clarity of its sacrificial nature. And honestly, this ties into a bigger problem. Our society right now tends to oversimplify everything. But when you start simplifying the way we worship, it doesn’t just stay there, it starts to shape and weaken how we believe. Now my question is this: why did the reformers do it? If their only reason …އިތުރު

“Pope Francis was like a second father to me, and I still miss him deeply,” said his nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, 56, in an interview with Corriere.it on April 19. Francis hated hospital stays and joked whenever he had to go to Gemelli Hospital: “You’ll see—the cardinals are preparing the conclave now.” “Every morning when he woke up, he would ask me, ‘Hello, who died today?’ That was just how he was,” Strappetti recalled. One day, Strappetti told Francis that he was divorced and living with another woman. The pope replied: “And what’s the problem?” He then asked: “Do they let you receive Communion? If not, tell me the names of those priests who refuse - I’ll go speak to them myself!” For Strappetti, Francis was a “surprising” pope. #newsAzcbcontal
