Archbishop Viganò Denounces Pope Francis for Cancelling Christmas Mass While Presiding at a Syncretistic Rite

STATEMENT

by His Excellency Carlo Maria Viganò

regarding the celebration of Christmas

October 20, 2020 – On October 19, an article appeared in the Italian daily, Il Messaggero, entitled, “Christmas, the Pope’s midnight Mass is skipped over; restrictions on All Saints’ Day celebrations: the bishops impose rigor.” According to its author, Franca Giansoldati, the Midnight Mass on Christmas has not been included on the calendar of papal liturgical celebrations, while the December 25 Blessing Urbi et Orbi is indicated.

This news, insofar as it corresponds to the actual decisions of the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff, suggests that the Holy See wants to replicate the unfortunate lockdown of past months, which deprived the faithful of the Mass and the Sacraments, even on Easter. If this were the case, it would confirm the Holy See’s intention to support the “pandemic” media narrative. Yet, according to recent statements made by the Italy’s Higher Institute of Health, the “pandemic” has a mortality rate equal to the normal seasonal flu.

This latest news has left the faithful bewildered, scandalized and abandoned by a hierarchy that found a way to gather in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Ara Cœli today for a syncretistic rite presided by Jorge Mario Bergoglio, but which does not hesitate to suspend the celebration of Holy Mass on the Night in which the Church celebrates the Birth of the Savior.

The process of demolishing the faithful’s most beloved traditions, carried out by those to whom the Lord has entrusted the government of His Church, continues relentlessly. On the one hand, through the utopian affirmation of a Masonic brand of human fraternity that is independent of God’s paternity, and on the other, through the methodical cancellation of liturgical solemnities, beginning with Holy Easter and continuing with Christmas.

I invite all Catholics to pray and do penance, imploring Heaven that this umpteenth outrage against the Majesty of God, the honor of the Church, and the souls of the faithful be averted. I also exhort the Shepherds of the Church to raise their voices in defense of the flock entrusted to them, reminding them of their grave responsibility before the Lord.

+ Carlo Maria Viganò, Archbishop

Right.

There are so many Catholics who are simple and they are being terribly ill-served.

I wonder if he even believes in Christ?

He doesn’t act like it.

Jimmy Carter ordered the General Services Administration to turn off hot water in some federal facilities, and requested that all Christmas light decorations remain dark in 1979 and 1980. He directed that thermostats in government buildings would be set so as to prevent people from raising temperatures above 65 °F in the winter lowering them below 78 °F in the summer.

He cancelled Catholicism. What is one mass celebrating the shell emptied of all theology?

You do not need a Pope. The papacy is a fraud and antiI Christ. Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father but by Me”.

Message to Thyatira

18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write:

The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:

19 ‘I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.

20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

21 I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.

22 Behold, I will throw her]on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.

23 And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the [n]minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

24 But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them—I place no other burden on you.

25 Nevertheless what you have, hold fast until I come.

26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations;

27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father;

28 and I will give him the morning star.

29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

This pope loved and admired obammy so I’m not surprised that he is not so much into Christianity.

William F. Buckley was a Catholic.

Hopefully, you'll become one, too.

I agree, but I meant that YOU are responsible and do NOT let him stop you from receiving the SACRAMENTS!!

_______________

I agree, Ann, and feel your sense of urgency. I just had a friend of mine - very devout Catholic - whose husband just came into full Communion with the Church a few years ago. He is freaking out over the last nonsense out of Jorge’s mouth. I tried to tell them that no matter WHAT we cannot abandon Our Lord in the Eucharist. There is no where else to go.

Prayers that all is well for Salvation.

I moved my regular Sunday Mass to Fridays as I found a church that did not impose the mask restriction, I was able to receive on the tongue without having to sign up.

However, this last Friday the deacon at Mass announced that everyone needed to be wearing masks and to go in the back of the church to get one. As he said it he looked straight at me. I was the only one not wearing a mask. Then he added that they would no longer allow people to take on the tongue. If that is what we want we need to wait until after Mass and receive at the back of the church, (along with the box of masks, I suppose).

So there it is, respect for masks is way more important than respect for Our Lord.

Now I have to search again.

I’m not Catholic ... but have brothers and sisters in Christ who are, and I think we should pray for them during such troubling times, that God’s will be done.

Well then you chose a poor screen name for yourself.

You do the good man a disservice.
