The secularised Curitiba Archbishop José Antônio Peruzzo, 61 (left picture), Brazil, published a decree "prohibiting" to Father Thiago Bonifácio (right picture) any ministry. Bonifácio belongs to the Roman Rite Institute of The Good Shepherd (IBP).
Father Daniel Pinheiro, the Latin America Superior of the community, informed in a December 20 press release, about this abuse of power, and stated that “we consider the decree invalid and null according to canon law and natural law.”
Pinheiro informed that the Institute filed a canonical appeal which suspends the decree. The decree is also a slap in Francis' face who opposes clericalism, legalism, rigidity, and wants "dialogue."
The Institute assures the Curitiba Catholics that they will not be abandoned by the Good Shepherd Institute. At the same time, the Institute declares that it remains faithful to the "Holy Father" and the Catholic [meaning: Novus Ordo] hierarchy.

The recent document from the Congregation for Divine Worship released on December 18th does not directly address the former Ecclesia Dei communities such as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter who possess their own proper law.
For how long will the Ecclesia Dei societies resist the apostate pope; and will they be successful? The apostolic inquisitions visitations should begin in February.
