Archbishop Vigneron's UNLEASH THE GOSPEL Put on Hold

 The Archbishop of Detroit (Allen Vigneron) and his woke curia have strongly suggested that unless you "vaccinated" against covid-19, then you should refrain from public worship and personal evangelization.  Yes, that's right. Let me say that again. If you have not received the fake jab of the experimental mRNA drug that will permanently alter your body's immune system, it is strongly suggested that you refrain from breathing within 100-feet of anyone else (whether "vaccinated" or not). 

Here is the AOD's guideline as of August 17, 2021 (https://www.aod.org/emergencyresponse)

  • The Archdiocese of Detroit encourages Mass-goers, regardless of vaccination status, to wear face-coverings and to practice social distancing to reduce exposure to COVID-19
  • Each pastor/In Solidum team should evaluate their location in the Archdiocese and implement the following protocols:
    • Establish an area where social distancing is observed
    • Strongly encourage masking and social distancing
    • Hang signage indicating masking and social distancing are encouraged
    • Evaluate space for the choir, and strongly recommend that those who are unvaccinated do not participate in the choir at this time

Because of that last directive, my wife was told she could no longer play her flute with the worship music group because she refuses to get the covid-19 "vaccination." (Aerosols from wind instruments are problematic, don't you know? By this logic we should have stopped face-to-face communication when the first cold virus was spread thousands of years ago.) We're unsure if they are trying to prevent my healthy wife from spreading her heathy antibodies by aerosol transmission, of if they're politically trying to force her to get the jab. We think it's the latter.  We're convinced the AOD curia is not  much different from radical Democrats who are acting like leftist Marxists. The Catholic Church is still Christ's Church, but there is a lot of corruption in its leadership. 

But then we discovered that the musical director at the parish was taking the AOD's guidance one step further. He lied. The AOD had said nothing about wind musical instruments. (see above.) There were two people in the group that had not been, and refused to be vaxed. One was a singer. So, he made the decision, and found something on the Internet to "validate" his opinion that if these two people did not do what he said, "get vaxed," then they would be cancelled and punished... because his unilateral demand was for the good of the congregation. This is pure Marxist Communism. We thank him for the textbook example. My wife and this other person offered no threat to him, he had no evidence, except his fear. "Do as I saw or you will be kicked off the group because we have to protect the people in the building who are far from you... because you know, the aerosols you expel will kill people, and if I don't fire you, I could be sued."  

The simple logic of these guidelines is that we all should avoid any exchange of air with anyone else, even if you're 20 yards distance. Logically, this involves every unvaxed person in the building. Don't come, don't participate, no breathing... is what this really says. And since all unvaxed persons are really sick people spreading disease then don't have any personal contact with any other person, vaxed or not.

Thus, Bishop Vigneron's "Unleash the Gospel" has been put on hold. DO NOT UNLEASH THE GOSPEL, someone could get sick. Satan loves this stuff. It fits perfectly into his plan. Atheists love it, too. They've been trying for years to come up with a gimmick to stop Christianity from spreading. The communists first infiltrated the church leadership, and now this.

Devotion to Mary

[A GRAMBUS post adapted from MARK MIRAVALLE]

All relationships, of course, are a two-way street. They require something from us — phone calls and visits, acts of thoughtfulness, time spent together. They demand that that we give some­thing of ourselves to the other. In our relationship with Mary, she helps give new life to our souls, prays for us, and provides us with what we need to grow in grace. In return, she deserves our honor and love, just as our earthly mothers do. She deserves our devotion.

To make sure we’re all on the same page, I want to spend a little time explaining what I mean by devotion. The word can have more than one meaning, and the Church uses Latin terms to help us dis­tinguish between the kind of devotion we give to Mary and the kind of devotion we give only to God. These words are dulia and latria.

Latria basically means adoration. Traditionally, it refers to the worship and homage that we give to God and God alone. When we adore God, we acknowledge him as an excellent, perfect, uncreated, divine person. We give him what he alone, as God, is due.

Dulia is very different.
