The Bishops of the Church have failed us.
The Bishops have abandoned their flock, depriving them of a strong voice in the community as also of spiritual forms of support and nourishment.
The Bishops have too easily succumbed to Church lockdowns which, in turn, have only served to fuel irrational fears of a virus that is about as dangerous as the common flu (as attested by the World Health Organisation), deprived the faithful of the ability to gather together in Church to pray and to receive the Sacraments, exacerbated the sense of isolation and abandonment in the community, supported the rollout of so-called ‘vaccines’ that have zero long-term safety data, and, in general, offered no resistance to the variety of coercive and restrictive governmental measures that are causing enormous damage to human lives.
Apart from live streaming Church services on the internet, the Bishops have taken little to no action to fulfil their God-given ministry.
“Even if there were a real pandemic, could the Bishops actually relinquish their responsibility for the care of souls—a responsibility they have assumed in the eyes of God? Could the Bishops’ God-given mandate to save souls be justifiably subordinated to the strictures and demands of a health crisis? Would souls have less need of God in the event of a health crisis?”
“When the Bishops are all too ready to capitulate to widespread Church restrictions and closures—never before witnessed on such a scale in 2,000 years of Church history—this cannot but give a subtle impression that the Church has been transformed into a social institution, an instrument of the State, and has implicitly denied her Divine constitution.”
In April 2021, the Australian Bishops published a letter with a strong emphasis on the ‘moral permissibility’ of certain vaccines, but they failed to address the question of the ‘safety and efficacy’ of the said vaccines.
Archbishop Anthony Fisher recently reversed his position on the so-called ‘vaccines’, and one of our contributors has given an interesting appraisal of the archbishop’s position here.
“Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology, MS physician and scientist was on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast Saturday [early September 2021] with an alarming warning that we’re being set up for “Escape Mutant Virus.”
It is high time that the Bishops rise up and use their collective voice to defend, nurture, and serve the Church entrusted to them by our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Today in the midst of this crisis, as one crisis has been added to another and again to another, the Church has need of Bishops and priests who will be like the Apostles, their predecessors, who transformed the world by the witness of their word, and most often by the witness of their blood, the Holy Spirit working through them with great signs and wonders.
“There is no challenge, obstacle, or difficulty that could prevent our shepherds from achieving what the twelve Apostles achieved.
“Saint Paul testified, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” (Romans 1:16)”
I will do my best to keep this page updated with relevant information as it comes to my attention.
