Den of
Iniquity
Manchester, New Hampshire has become a true home for those who hate the Church.
Several
of us who attend Mass in Manchester, New Hampshire have complained to Bishop
McCormack that his toleration of the dissident group "Voice of the
Faithful" is particularly offensive since the group promotes both abortion
and homosexual sex.
But
Bishop McCormack is a good friend to dissenters in this diocese. Not
only does he permit this anti-Catholic group to conduct its meetings on Church
property, he has also assigned it a liason with his office. Bishop
McCormack has no problem allowing this group to promote a
"democratic" concept of "church" while advocating homosexual
sex as a positive good.
And
when those of us who see this as truly evil complain - and we have done so
respectfully - the Bishop attacks us with claims that we lack
"charity."
It
is a strange notion of "charity" that winks and nods at homosexual
agitprop, pro-abortion rhetoric, and a strange desire to overthrow the
hierarchical Church founded by Jesus Christ.
It is my belief, and the belief of many orthodox Catholics, that the diocese of Manchester has become a den of iniquity - a true home for those who hate the Church. And all because Bishop McCormack will not take a stand against this dissent.
Could
it be that Bishop McCormack, who has a record of looking the other way when it
comes to child abuse, welcomes VOTF because it does promote homosexual
sex? The very prospect is chilling.

Subject: The
spirit of Antichrist in New Hampshire
The spirit of Antichrist has come to
New Hampshire. The Granite State
has become
a
hotbed of sodomite activity, dissent from Magisterial teaching, and a spirit of
rebellion. When priests and religious contradict
Church teaching, not only is no
action
taken to correct their dissent, but such open rebellion is welcomed and
even
cheered.
The spirit of Antichrist has taken hold
of New Hampshire. Lust for
physical
gratification,
lust for power, and pride of life have crippled the diocese. It
would
appear that New Hampshire is being prepared for schism by the satanic
forces
of masonry through the dissident groups they control such as "voice of the
faithful."
There is a malaise in the Granite
State. A feeling of dread is
almost
overpowering
faithful Catholics who cannot help but wonder if the Man of Sin is
ready
to make his appearance. Surely
some sort of revelation is at hand?
For now, many faithful Catholics are
preparing for persecution.
Will
we be in the catacombs this time next year? Only time will tell.

Subject: A
possibility wrought with dire implications!
On October 1,
1986, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith published an instruction
entitled, Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on Pastoral Service for
Homosexual Persons, signed by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger and approved by Pope
John Paul II.
In this Instruction, Cardinal Ratzinger
writes, "It is necessary to point out that the particular inclination of a
homosexual person, though not a sin in itself, nevertheless constitutes a more
or less strong tendency to an intrinsically evil behavior from the moral
standpoint. For this reason, the very inclination should be considered as
objectively disordered." (No. 3).
This would appear to be especially
significant since Canon 1040 of the Code of Canon Law states that:
"Persons who are affected by a perpetual impediment, which is called an
irregularity, or a simple impediment, are prevented from receiving
orders." Now, irregularities arise either from defect (ex defectu)
or from crime (ex delicto). It seems clear to me that a homosexual
inclination, which Cardinal Ratzinger has referred to as "objectively
disordered," constitutes an irregularity ex defectu.
In fact, when asked by a Bishop if it
is licit to confer priestly ordination to men with manifest homosexual
tendencies, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments replied with
a letter signed by Jorge Cardinal Medina Estevez which stated that,
"Ordination to the diaconate and the priesthood of homosexual men or men
with homosexual tendencies is absolutely inadvisable and imprudent and, from
the pastoral point of view, very risky. A homosexual person, or one with
a homosexual tendency is not, therefore, fit to receive the sacrament of Holy
Orders."
And yet, Bishop John B. McCormack (in
an Associated Press article published on November 18, 2002) said that
"gay" men (Bishop McCormack is always PC) should not necessarily be
precluded from the priesthood.
Therefore, Bishop McCormack (who
continues to be dissent-friendly in his support of VOTF) is contradicting the
will of Christ in this matter. Faithful Catholics should respond to this
arrogance by withholding their donations to the Diocese of Manchester and
should instead forward these monies to an orthodox diocese or religious
community - one in communion with Rome.
