Bishop Rigoberto Corredor Bermudez: Merciful like the Godfather...

Our spiritual-director sometimes reflects on the fact that Satan has obviously learned that persecuting the Church from without has only ever strengthened her. As Tertullian famously pronounced: ''The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church!'' And so it has been the case, down through the ages from ancient Rome, through the Christological struggles, the Protestant persecutions, on through the sufferings of the missionaries, the cruelties of the Nazis and the Communists, and all the way down to the Islamists and secularists trying to crush the life out of Christian civilization in our own day. Wherever the Church was opposed and tormented in Her members, she eventually grew stronger, gave birth to new saints, flourished and triumphed over her enemies. Indeed, given time and grace, many of her enemies were even converted! 

And so, as our spiritual-director points out, the infernal enemy of our souls is now trying to take over the Church from within. Just as with ISIS, the present attempt to deconstruct orthodoxy, going fist-in-glove as it does with the persecution of the orthodox by Modernist prelates, represents a move to actually decapitate the Church from Christ; and to thus leave the members of His body to wither and die spiritually.

Be sure of one thing before reading further though: events in the present-day Catholic Church may read like something out of a Malachi Martin novel, but in the end these Judases, and the evil spirits behind them, will not win. Always remember: ''Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today; and the same for ever'' (Hebrews 13:8).

A couple of days ago, claims emerged in various places that the sacrilegious Judas-bishops Scicluna and Grech, in Malta and Gozo, had been threatening to suspend their priests a divinis, for refusing to obey their illegitimate order to collude in sacrilegious confessions and communions with unrepentant adulterers. Although Grech has tweeted a denial of these claims, it remains the case that a priest contact of 1 Peter 5 argues differently. In any case, it would be ridiculous to think that bishops would bring out a new set of instructions, without meaning to enforce them in some way.

Perhaps these traitors will stop short of suspending good priests from their priestly orders, but all orthodox Catholics in these times know of priests who have been persecuted by their superiors in other subtle and not-so-subtle ways; and this just for promoting the true teachings of the Church in the realms of doctrine, liturgy, prayer and/or morality.

All right-thinking Catholics must shudder at the spectre of bishops telling lay people to be easy with sin in their supposedly ''enlightened'' consciences, whilst at once trying to rigidly govern the consciences of their priests into commiting with them the sins of sacrilege and heresy. As we said when the Greek Bishop Papamanolis went apoplectic at the 4 cardinals over their Dubia in November, it seems to these men that the unrighteous must be given Holy Communion at all costs, but the righteous who resist this evil must be refused!

May God give grace to all orthodox priests to remember that, though they have taken vows of obedience to their bishops, they are to obey them in all things, except for sin.

No sooner had many of us trembled, yesterday, at the thought that Hilary White's long-prophesied warning about a deliberate purge of the remaining orthodox Catholics, was about to become true on a wide scale, than today's news broke about a priest being suspended a divinis in Colombia, over this very issue!

Just to recap Hilary's position: she has basically been saying for a long time that the master-plan is to force priests to collude with sacrilege in order to get ordained in the first place and to then keep their priestly faculties in the second. Following from that, lay people will be required to go along with the sacrilege, under the guise of the new-mercy, in order to receive the sacraments; or instead be denied them if they resist. Hilary sums this up thus at What is Up With the Synod?: ''It comes down to a metaphorical gun to their heads - abandon the Faith, desecrate the Holy Eucharist or you're out.''

Having been spiritually mangled at Ushaw seminary in the 90's over similar matters pertaining to the treatment of the Most Holy Eucharist and reverence at Mass, I have already stated here some months back that Hilary was indeed onto something with this argument.

In any case, this very scenario is now being played out over in Colombia. As Rorate Caeli reports today: Urgent - Bergoglian Persecution Begins: Priest is suspended a divinis for criticizing the new papal doctrine on Marriage and the Eucharist.

Whilst we cannot know all the details of the case, it remains a spectacularly heavy-handed move for the above-pictured Bishop Rigoberto Corredor Bermudez of Pereira to officially remove Fr. Luis Carlos Uribe Medina from the clerical state! Especially, given the fact that the last five decades have been dominated by modernist dissenters remaining undisciplined in the ranks of the priesthood to spread their evil, heretical ideas. 

On the face of it, Fr. Medina of Colombia's supposed ''crime'' is to have publicly defended the Catholic Church's true teachings on chastity, Holy Matrimony, Confession and Holy Communion, in the face of the present Bergoglio-made crisis.

At some point the old devil always has to show his hand; and this can be seen in the said-bishop's official communication regarding Fr. Medina's removal from the clerical state.

In a remarkably myopic reading and application of Canon 1363, paragraph 1, from the Code of Canon Law, the bishop quotes that, ''an apostate from the faith, a heretic, or a schismatic, incurs a latae senteniae excommunication''.

Upon this Bishop Bermudez builds his case in a manner which can be easily read over at Rorate.

The point here is that Bishop Bermudez and all those promoting sacrilege and heresy in these evil times have just been hoisted by their own petard. For it is no difficult thing to show that a priest who affirms the true teachings of Christ and His Church, in a way that perfectly harmonizes with 2,000 years of Sacred Scripture and Tradition, cannot legitimately be said to be an apostate, heretic or schismatic.

However, those who are promoting apostasy, heresy, schism - aye and even sacrilege! - are the ones to incur the latae sententiae excommunication. It doesn't matter if you are a lay-man, a priest, a local bishop, or even the Bishop Dressed in White, Canon Law provides for no exceptions.

By drawing on this particular article from Canon Law, Bishop Bermudez therefore merely erects his own petard; and begins to merrily raise himself, and all those others who are promoting sacrilege and persecuting orthodoxy, by its solid hoist.

Conclusion

An attempt is being made to finally cut orthodox Catholics off from the Sacraments of the Church; and to instead throw them to unrepentant sinners, who have neither orthodox belief, nor love for Jesus Christ. Imagine a Church in which orthodox Catholics can only access the sacraments if they agree to go along with a new culture of sacrilege and to acquiesce in an environment of perpetual mortal sin!

The full impact of this reality has broadsided Angie and I this weekend. For sure, we have seen this nightmare coming, at least in some degree; but seeing an oncoming train is not the same thing as being struck by it!

We must all rely on Divine intervention to ultimately prevent this travesty from spreading throughout the Church; but we must also do our part to prevent it by standing up to the abuse of Canon Law and letting the light of truth expose the real apostates, heretics, schismatics and sacrilegious Judases for who they really are.

This article has been written by way of our contribution to that stand for Catholic Truth.

Our Lady of Quito - Pray for us!
