Again we see John Henry Westen embracing lies, deceit, and misrepresentations to appeal to his intended audience and enrich himself.
The cleric’s ordinary is actively working to stifle the ‘TLM’ but also granted him permission to associate with the quasi-schismatic SSPX to learn to celebrate according to the 1962 Missal. Hmmmmm. Can’t have it both ways.
Considering Samuel Maria is preaching Catholic ‘traditionalism’ as separatists who are the ‘real’ Catholics, in possession of the ‘real’ truth and celebrate the ‘real’ mass, is it surprising the ordinary is not grating permission to celebrate ANY form of the mass publicly?
Is it surprising that some of the faithful seek out the ‘TLM’ after being instructed by religious or other leaders/influencers that it is the only ‘real mass’ or ‘authentic tradition?’
It is also concerning that Samuel Maria is using his incoherent and confused homilies to instruct the faithful in his personal conspiracy theory that the age of the anti-Christ is being ushered in by AI propagated humans who are genetic machines…humans without souls. In a 9 min homily this cleric demonstrates in multiple ways he does not understand the faith nor is he joined to the mind of the church.
As to Viganò’s blessing of Samuel Maria’s group (irregular at best), it is interesting that while expressing his sympathy that the group is being ‘oppressed’ by church authorities he includes the following:
“…those who object to the psychopandemic or denounce the plan of the New World Order are called “anti-vax” or “conspiracy theorists.”
If authentic, the letter of blessing is yet another example of how unhinged and detached from reality Viganò has become.
Keep in mind that John Henry Westen knew all of this or should have known prior to publication. What a completely embarrassing debacle from all angles.
We continue to see persons of faith amplify these types of messages meant to solidify their notion that ‘traditional’ Catholics are routinely and unjustly ‘cancelled’ and/or oppressed. Not one moment is spent considering the deep and abiding problems present in so many of these situations.
