Kudos to @RaymondArroyo for interviewing @BishopAthanas1 on @WorldOverLive. His Excellency spends a good amount of time discussing #TraditionisCustodes.
Regarding #TraditionisCustodes, @BishopAthanas1 observes that "behind this Motu Proprio there is another agenda," namely, a "decisive rejection of Tradition".
When asked how the "Ordinary Form" (Novus Ordo) and "Extraordinary Form" (TLM) should "co-exist", @BishopAthanas1 emphasized that they are "quite different" and that it would be "more honest" to identify them as "two rites" — something @Pontifex has done, invoking "bi-ritualism".
Ultimately, @BishopAthanas1 explains, "the Novus Ordo has to go back to the essence of the Traditional Rite of All Times."
His Excellency @BishopAthanas1 has a new book due out in January 2022 from @SophiaPress (written with @AurelioPorfiri) entitled, "The Catholic Mass: Steps to Restore the Centrality of God in the Liturgy".

🧵 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":

[THREAD] As seen in these clips, @Pontifex and other Catholic prelates participated in a smudging ceremony while in #QuebecCity yesterday (July 27, 2022). #PopeInCanada

Source:
"We will honor earth, wind, water, and fire. We will honor the mineral aspect, the vegetable aspect, and the human aspect."

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…

#Fatima #ConsecrateRussiaNow
.@cardinalrlburke agrees that #Russia still needs to be consecrated "in accord with her [Our Lady's] explicit instruction" (May 20, 2017): voiceofthefamily.com/full-text-card…
.@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…

"The current events have nothing to do with a desire to infringe on the interests of #Ukraine and the #Ukrainian people. They are connected with the defending #Russia from those who have taken Ukraine hostage...." — #VladimirPutin, Feb. 24, 2022

Do you believe Mr. Putin?
Also from #Putin's speech (Feb. 24, 2022) — he refers to "the ruling #Ukrainian regime" as "today’s neo-Nazis": bloomberg.com/news/articles/… Image

For those tempted to believe that #VladimirPutin is "the good guy" in present circumstances, please consider the following: catholicfamilynews.com/blog/2018/03/0… Image
As shown above, Putin signed a "Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation" with Communist #China (July 16, 2001), "with the hope of promoting and establishing a just and fair NEW WORLD ORDER...." voltairenet.org/article173177.…
Moreover, just 20 days ago Putin and #XiJinping renewed their nations' strong ties via a lengthy joint statement, the essence of which is 'Eurasia vs. the West': washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
