🧵 Earlier this week, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski posted copies of two important letters R/T the Vatican's efforts to eradicate the TLM from parish churches.
The first letter (date redacted) was sent by the Dicastery for Divine Worship (DDW) to a bishop: facebook.com/groups/preserv… 1/4
The DDW letter (transcription below) eliminates the possibility of bishops invoking can. 87 § 1 as a means of dispensing Catholics (without Rome's permission) from Art. 3 § 2 of Traditionis Custodes, which forbids the offering of TLMs "in the parochial churches". 2/4
The second letter (dated Jan. 31, 2023) was sent to a priest by his bishop — the same bishop who received the DDW letter: facebook.com/groups/preserv…
The bishop explains that before the DDW will consider granting a dispensation from TC (Art. 3 § 2), certain info is required. 3/4
🧵What a joke. The ones "sowing confusion about the synodal process" are precisely those in charge at @Synod_va — who can't even manage to define the term "synodality"! 1/4
2/4 I've read all of these documents (below) and NONE OF THEM contain an actual definition of "synodality":
• Synodality in the Life and Mission of the Church (2018)
• Preparatory Document (2021)
• Vademecum (2021)
• Working Document for the Continental Stage (2022)
3/4 Comically, the Working Document (DCS) states that "it does not provide a definition of synodality in the strict sense," then directs readers to other sources equally devoid of a definition, while also noting "the difficulty of understanding what synodality means":

The elder of the Huron-Wendat Nation then asked each direction (East, South, West, and North) to "open its door".
"I ask the western grandmother to give us access to the sacred circle of spirits so they can be with us, so we can be united and stronger together."
#Russia has still not been validly consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, since no pope has ever met all the conditions specified by Our Lady herself (see below): fatima.org/about/consecra…
.@BishopAthanas1 concurs in "Christus Vincit" (@AngelicoPress, 2019): "It has not yet been made in the manner Our Lady requested. In my opinion, the consecration has to be made more perfectly, and this means with the explicit mention of Russia..." (p. 300) angelicopress.org/christus-vinci…
