OUTRAGEOUS! In Italy, a police officer interrupts mass and a priest is fined €680 for offering Mass!

 “My daughter, spend this terrible hours with Me; I need your company. Watch, pray and atone. ...The Freemasons are abusing Me in the tabernacles and in My very Gospel...These are the moments they are labouring hard to abolish My Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. My Eternal Father is so offended. What a sorrow! With their own hands, they are executing themselves.” (Our Lord’s message to Rev. Sister Ana Ali, 2.30 A.M., January 19, 1988).

“My daughter, pray a great deal. Italy will suffer great upheavals and will be purified by a great revolution; only a part of it will be saved. Obstinate sinners do not want to have anything to do with God, My Eternal Father. His wrath is upon them. There will be calamities—earthquakes, contagious diseases, hurricanes (which will swell the seas and rivers to the point of overflowing), mountains will be swallowed by the earth.

“My daughter, almost all humanity abuse Me in My Divine Sacrament, despising Me, not believing in Me. The dictators of the earth, truly infernal monsters, will destroy Churches and My sacred tabernacles. In this sacrilegious struggle, do not be afraid. Continue to speak to everyone. These are hours of terrible abandonment.” (Our Lord’s message to Rev. Sister Ana Ali, 3.00 A.M., October 5, 1987).

Our Lady of La Salette prophesied that “Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the Antichrist”. Similarly, Our Lord said—in His message to Rev. Sister Ana Ali—that “Rome will be worse than Babylon!”

Indeed, Rome has today become worse than Babylon! There are many messages which heaven has given to our sinful world over the years through many Catholic seers. Catholics and their bad leaders ignored these messages; and they ridiculed and persecuted the seers. However, some of these messages have already been fulfilled and many more will be fulfilled NOW before our eyes. At the end, it is not Satan who will win. Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart will triumph!

In his April 17 article The battle between God and Satan is playing out during the coronavirus, Roberto de Mattei, a Church historian, writes:

“The international scenario in the spring of 2020 is new, unexpected, and dramatic. Confusion dominates because no one is able to truly say exactly what has happened: where the coronavirus came from, when it will end, and how it should be confronted.

“What is certain, however, is that against this background, two cities continue to fight in history, the Civitas Dei and the Civitas Diabuli: their aim is to annihilate each other. They are the two cities that Saint Augustine speaks of: “One is the society of devoted men, the other of rebels, each one has its own angels – in the first city the love of God is superior, and in the other the love of self” (De Civitate Dei, lib. XIV, c. 13,1).

“This mortal battle was evoked with efficacious words by Pius XII in his discourse to the men of Catholic Action on October 12, 1952. The Pope affirmed that the world was threatened by an enemy much worse than the fifth century enemy Attila the Hun, “the scourge of God.” “Oh, do not ask us who the “enemy” is or what clothes he wears. He is found above all in everyone’s midst; he knows how to be violent and subtle. In these last few centuries he has tried to create intellectual, moral, and social desegregation of the unity of the mysterious organism of Christ. He wanted nature without grace; reason without faith; freedom without authority; and sometimes authority without freedom. He is an “enemy” who has become ever more concrete, with a ruthlessness that still leaves people astonished: Christ yes, Church no. Then: God yes, Christ no. And finally his full cry: God is dead; and even: God never existed. And behold the attempt to structure the world on foundations that we do not hesitate to point out as the principal things responsible for the threat that is incumbent on humanity: an economy without God, a law without God, a political system without God.”

Roberto de Mattei, after analysing the situation before us as well as showing how we arrived here, asks:

“What should counter-revolutionaries do in this situation – those who are faithful to Tradition, zealous Catholics who are full of the apostolic spirit? What should their strategy be in the face of the manoeuvres of the forces of darkness?

“First of all, they ought to show that a world is collapsing; the globalized world that the deformed projects of Bill Gates and his friends will not succeed in keeping on its feet, despite all of their efforts. The end of this world that is a child of the Revolution was announced one hundred years ago at Fatima, and the horizon that we have in front of us is not the hour of the final dictatorship of the Antichrist but rather that of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, preceded by the chastisements announced by the Blessed Mother if humanity would not convert. Today, even among the best Catholics, there is a psychological resistance against speaking of chastisements. But Count Joseph de Maistre admonishes us: “Chastisement governs all of humanity; chastisement guards it; chastisement keeps watch while the watchmen sleep. The wise man considers chastisement as the perfection of justice” (Les soirées de Saint Petersbourg, Pelagard, Lyon 1836, vol. I, p. 37).”

Last Sunday, a police officer entered a Church and interrupted a Mass celebrated with only 12 faithful present in the northern Italian village of Soncino, close to Milan. Sounds like my last report of a priest in Nigeria reporting a fellow priest for saying Mass? (See: COVID-19: This monster “priest” is reporting a fellow priest for saying mass!)
                                                                                             
Although it was a Novus Ordo Mass (a Protestantised Mass which was imposed on the Church by Vatican II heretics) he celebrated, we must praise this courageous priest for standing for the Holy Faith in the face of diabolical monsters.  

The priest, Fr Don Lino Viola, was denied by his bishop and was fined €680, while a fine of €280 was imposed on each of the faithful present for Mass!

The coronavirus has indeed exposed many evil men and women. COVID-19 has shown that not only are all of today’s world leaders enemies of the Christian faith, but they are also pure agents of Satan; COVID-19 has shown that the majority of today’s “Catholic” bishops and cardinals are working to destroy the Catholic Faith; worst of all, COVID-19 has shown that an average person in today’s world in loaded with evil spirits and is anti-Christian and anti-Christ. As Franz Skipper remarked (see the comments below): 

“Spend the next 24 hours watching your local news. See how often they comment on the closed churches. Zero. No one cares. Ask a neighbour or a co-worker how they feel about the churches closed. Chances are you'll get a blank stare. To so many, the churches have been closed for years”.
  
If you wish to understand what is actually happening to the people of our days, those for whom the current closing of Churches is not a big deal—particularly “Catholics”—I refer you to my facebook post of two weeks ago (about the works of Karl Rahner and Hans Kung, two of the most prominent Vatican II heretics). It reads partly: 

“Karl Rahner (1904-1984), a German modernist theologian, was famous for his theory of "anonymous Christianity" While the traditional Roman Catholic teaching (enunciated with clarity by St. Cyprian and restated at the Fourth Lateran Council) is that there is no salvation outside the one visible, organised Catholic Church (there is no salvation in any of the rival "churches"), the Second Vatican Council clearly rejected this teaching—it taught radically that "salvation is not only for Christians but for all men..." (The Church in the Modern World 1: 2).

“Rahner's theory seeks to explain this Vatican II position. "The anonymous Christian in our sense of the term is the pagan after the beginning of the Christian mission, who lives in the state of Christ's grace through faith, hope and love, yet who has no explicit knowledge of the fact that his life is oriented in grace-given salvation to Jesus Christ," he wrote in his “Theological Investigations” (Volume 14, Chapter 17). This is quite contrary to Christ's teaching that "unless a man is born again of water and the Holy Ghost (Catholic Baptism), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5); and again, "...he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18).

“While Karl Rahner’s theory aimed to “prove” that non-Catholics (and also non-Christians) are indeed candidates of heaven, Hans Kung was another modernist who tried to “prove” that Catholicism and Protestantism have many things in common and therefore need to “unite”.

“Kung, one of the periti of Vatican II (popularly known as a “Catholic rebel”), was born in 1928. After studying the doctrine of Karl Barth (a Protestant theologian), Kung wrote a book entitled “Justification: The Doctrine of Karl Barth and a Catholic Reflection”, which was published in 1957. In it he wrote: “It is without any doubt, then, significant that today there is a fundamental agreement between Catholic and Protestant theology, precisely in the theology of justification—the point at which Reformation theology took its departure...”

“The book was widely received—by both Catholics and Protestants. In fact, the effect of Kung’s book has been a widespread feeling among modern “Catholic theologians” that the doctrine of justification by faith alone is ACCEPTABLE and need not divide Catholics and Protestants. In 1962, “Pope” John XXIII appointed Kung an official theological adviser to the Second Vatican Council—the Council which championed modern ecumenism (condemned by Pope Pius XI in his Mortalium Animos) that places all religions (including Catholicism) on the same level as if they are all the same.

“Now one of the deadly effects of all this has been that many Catholics today, just like the Protestants, believe that “Church is not the building but the people”—forgetting that every Catholic Church is a House of God because the building itself is dedicated to God and because, quite unlike the Protestant “churches”, GOD LIVES THERE SACRAMENTALLY. We see the evidence of this belief in this current closing of Churches (even during Lent!) due to the coronavirus.”

Many Catholics around the globe have decried the incredible sacrilege! The following are some of the comments from Catholics:

Patrick Walsh : “God bless this faithful priest. In the archdiocese of Boston the secularised “Cardinal Sean” says that the Church is a mere 'complement' to government.”

Elaine M Gardens: “Patrick Walsh, I suppose there is truth in that "Cardinals" statement. If the "Plants" in the Church are agents of Satan to destroy Her and all that is Sacred.

Griffon Spitfire: “True! Here in NZ (New Zealand) the government is allowing hundreds of thousands of children to go back to school next week - crammed together in school buses while on the way there and on the way back - but are the Churches allowed to reopen? Nope. And do we hear anything from the Bishops down here on the matter? Nope - not a peep.

Mikeh: “Another thing we didn’t hear about was that about a week into the lockdown our government here in NZ voted for the killing of unborn children. I certainly haven’t heard a peep about that from the church. The hypocrisy is unbelievable, how can you be all for saving life in one breath and for killing in the next, maybe someone can enlighten me because my brain certainly can’t grasp it.”

Griffon Spitfire: “The problem with NZ is that we have a lousy pro-abort left wing government - courtesy of that turncoat Peters at the last General Election - and every single one of our Prelates are useless left wing apostates. That's a big part of the problem. Another significant issue is our secular left-wing media - and how the average Joe Blogs takes whatever they pump out as gospel. There is a high chance NZ may turn out like Venezuela - we'll see how popular the left will be then...”

Giuseppe Paolo:  “The priest, Don Viola did the right thing: "We ought to obey God, rather than men." [Acts of Apostles 5:29]”
                                                    
Michael Robinson: “I agree with Archbishop Vigano, almost all of our bishops are cowards!”

Tina“Michael Robinson, fully agree. It seems to me cowards of the worst kind. I suspect these bishops, cardinals, etc., have each a very dark secret, which makes them open to blackmail. Why then are they denying their Catholic faith and supporting hedonistic, Hindu, pantheistic, occult spiritist faiths?”
                                                  
Dr CP: “COVID-19 is not the problem here. It never was. The children of COVID-19 in positions of power, who have been hiding in the shadows until now and their master, are the problem. We will have YEARS of this. God Bless this priest and may God have mercy on the soul of his Bishop.”

Marie Halligan: “Dr CP, I was just thinking if that's the case, we'll have to go back to Mass rocks like they did here in Ireland during the Penal times. Then I wondered how many of our clergy would be faithful enough and BRAVE enough to risk saying Mass out in the open, even if it was in the middle of a field or up a mountain, and how many of our faithful would risk it as well? I'm sad to say I reckon the answer would be not many. I miss the Mass and the Eucharist and I won't feel right until I can go to confession again. Please Lord Holy Spirit; fill your clergy and laity with courage and faith again. Amen.”

Phil: “And let's give hearty thanks once again to AB Vigano who did NOT refrain from calling out the cowardice of Prelates that allowed the Italian police to break the Concordat with the Church and Italian government in 1929, and confirmed in 1984. I think the Lord is gonna have Vigano standing by His side when 'certain' Prelates arrive at the Gates of Heaven for a little discernment process, prior to ...ah, the trembling and shaking of knees!”

WATCH: Police officer interrupts Mass, priest refuses to kick out 12 faithful
'It wasn’t human to send them out,' the parish priest later explained.

By Martin Bürger

SONCINO, Italy, April 21, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Police interrupted a Mass celebrated with only 12 faithful present last Sunday in the northern Italian village of Soncino, close to Milan. A video shows a police officer talking to the priest, Don Lino Viola, right after the homily.

Moments later he returned, trying to get Viola to speak to the town’s mayor, who was on hold on the police officer’s phone. However, the priest refused to bend to the will of the local authorities.

Cremona Oggi, a local online news outlet, spoke of “few faithful” present at the Mass, “only about fifteen, but still too many for the strict rules that have imposed the prohibition of religious celebrations and any other form of assembly.” Public Masses in Italy had been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic back in March.

Mayor Gabriele Gallina said “it would have been enough” for Viola “to get the faithful out and continue the celebration.” However, the priest refused to do that.

The mayor explained that he had already talked to Viola on Sunday afternoon. “Nothing was broken, there is a good relationship between us, but it would have been enough to let the faithful go out, and perhaps everything would have gone smoothly.”

Don Lino Viola later clarified that 13 people were present in the church, including the priest. He pointed out that “six extra people” walked in while he was changing in the sacristy to get ready for Mass.

“They were a family who at that Mass commemorated some people who had died, plus a lady who had lost a relative to the coronavirus two days earlier. It wasn’t human to send them out,” he emphasized.

The priest explained that the faithful were four meters apart from each other, even though most so-called social distancing guidelines only recommend about two meters, at most. Everybody was wearing masks.

While a fine of €280 was imposed on each of the faithful present for Mass, Viola told people not to pay. The priest, who was fined €680, said that “if anything, the parish will take care of it. I’m convinced that I haven’t created an assembly.”

He promised to talk to local authorities, specifically the Prefect of the Province of Cremona, “and I want to talk to a lawyer to understand if there hasn’t possibly been an abuse of power.”

La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana pointed out that police entering the church building and interrupting the celebration of Mass might actually constitute a violation of international law between Italy and the Vatican.

The agreement states that “the public authority may not enter for the exercise of its duties in buildings open to worship without having given prior notice to the ecclesiastical authority,” unless there is an emergency.

Bishop Antonio Napolioni of Cremona did not support his priest. A statement issued by the diocese on Monday called out Viola for “failure to comply with current emergency regulations prohibiting the celebration of Mass in the presence of the faithful.”

“With regard to the matter, the Diocese of Cremona, while aware of the intimate suffering and profound discomfort of so many priests and faithful due to the forced and prolonged deprivation of the Eucharist, cannot but emphasize with regret that the behavior of the parish priest is in contradiction with civil norms and canonical indications that for several weeks now have been affecting the liturgical and sacramental life of the Church in Italy and of our Church of Cremona,” the statement continued.

Instead of thanking Don Lino Viola for standing strong and defending the faithful present at the Mass, the diocese felt “the duty to thank all the priests of Cremona who, in this difficult period, have been able to express a deep sense of communion and ecclesial belonging also through the rigorous and precise respect of the current norms, aware of the responsibility that the Church has towards civil society and the health of our fellow citizens.”

Avvenire, an Italian daily newspaper owned by the Italian Bishops’ Conference, only reported on Bishop Napolioni’s statement. Prior to that, there was no article discussing the fact that a police officer had interrupted Mass.

The interruption of the Mass in Soncino was not the only case of government harassing priests amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

In mid-March, a priest in Marina di Cerveteri outside of Rome did not “have the chance to begin the concluding rite inside an empty church (but with faithful watching live on streaming) when two local police officers in antiviral masks swoop in behind the altar,” reported the New Daily Compass.

The police argued that “the parish priest had left the doors of his church open and outside in the churchyard, faithful had gathered in prayer. However, the few faithful present in the churchyard had kept a safe distance, far greater than the commonly known one-meter recommendation decreed by the Italian government.”

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United Statessuggested that this case “may simply have been an excess of zeal by two local policemen, especially if they have to work under all the extra stress that has arisen since the coronavirus outbreak.”

“It must also be clear, though, especially in a country like Italy which signed a Concordat with the Church in 1929, that the ecclesiastical authorities have sole rights over places of worship,” Viganò explained. “The Holy See and the local Ordinary really ought to have protested over such a violation of the Lateran Treaty, which was confirmed again in 1984 and which is still in force.”

According to Viganò, “the authority of Bishops, given directly to them by God, melts away like snow and shows how cowardly they all are. This might lead to even worse abuses in the future if it is not corrected now. Let me take this opportunity to ask for a forthright condemnation of this unacceptable meddling by government forces in affairs which are the direct responsibility of the Church Authorities.”
