It is the Solemnity of Corpus Christi in the modern rite today and the traditional if transferred. In the great and glorious Archdiocese of Toronto, there is, however, as usual, there is
On this day, some in Toronto will attend their parish to receive Holy Communion under a contrived service. One would think if you could have ten persons (under Ford's edict) you could have Mass for ten with the priest and then another ten and so on. Taxing on the priest? Yes, but many do three Masses on Sunday now, at least do that. Or, no Holy Communion at Mass, the Cardinal has already acknowledged that it can be separated from the liturgy. Holy Communion by appointment, individual or family on the tongue, if desired, in private, no China Virus risk. But no, that would anger those whom Collins referred to as "virtuous public health officials."
Tomorrow, Ontario Premier Doug Ford will announce changes to the current fascist restrictions in Ontario. As reported here on this blog through our own confidential sources a day before the Cardinal's meeting with Ford on Thursday past, Mass will be restored to 15% on June 14 and 30% on July 5. Never forget that as bad as this has been on the part of Ford, Cardinal Collins has made it worse, he has abandoned the faithful and sold out the Church to the government. The same governments that the Church sold out to more than a century ago on the matter of Residential Schools. Hypocrites and vipers, all of them.
On this day it is important to remember that Thomas Cardinal Collins and most, but not all, bishops in Ontario have forbidden Holy Communion on the tongue. Many Catholics have not had Holy Communion for over a year because they will not violate their conscience.
It is important to remember this. In a webinar not too many months ago, this is what Cardinal Collins said he would do to any parish where Holy Communion on the tongue was being distributed:

So thankful to be in South Carolina where our churches are fully open. We had a short Procession inside the church from the altar to the Adoration Chapel today due to weather but a Procession nonetheless. Our Bishop also just lifted the general dispensation for not attending Mass due to COVID. Only those in serious danger from the virus are now excused. We even passed the peace today.
Our bishop in Phoenix has lifted the dispensation effective July 1. At my local parish, all of the COVID signage is gone and people are again sharing the sign of peace during the Ordinary Form mass. Seating reservations are no longer required because social distancing is not required. The only thing left is the restoration of the holy water fonts. I think I can get our local men’s Bible study group back together now that things are pretty much back to normal there.
Oh, and Bishop Olmsted had a Eucharist procession early this morning in downtown Phoenix.
STAND UP!! FIGHT!!! NO ONE should EVER be allowed to take MASS AWAY FROM YOU!
If someone doesn't want to dip their finger in the HOLY Water, they don't have to!! EGADS!
How do you feel about holy water coming touchless out of a large container when you put your hand under a spout? I was in a church that had such a system recently.
I thought about that....like the Purell that comes out with no touch....however, NO ONE is required to dip their finger, but for us that like to I would love the fonts filled again!
My family’s farming community in central Saskatchewan held a Corpus Christi procession ALL OVER TOWN (all 5 blocks of it). The neighboring towns did as well. I don’t know if the tradition still exists, but the Royal Canadian COVID Police most likely had quite the suppressing effect over the past year+.
