Australian Bishop Needed to Be "Cleansed"

Bishop Kenneth Howell, 65, had to be "cleansed by smoke" outside Toowoomba cathedral, Australia, before being installed as the new bishop. The July 11 ritual, which looked like a barbecue, was performed by Janine Mayer, who explained that she wanted to “bring healthy positive vibes, and to cleanse and remove any past negative energies.” After being "cleansed", Howell took a pinch of sandalwood to pop it into the smoke and made a wish (pictured) while the faithful might wish for a better bishop.

🤫 JPII drank Shamon potion what's the difference he is supposably a Saint

Chosen by Bergoglio and following in his footsteps in the rebellion against God, the apostate Kenneth Howell also defies the First Commandment

Martyrs have died for refusing to give a pinch of incense to false pagan gods.

I'm from Australia and this "inculturation" (i.e., bowing down to false gods in a vain attempt to curry favor with the indigenous folk) nonsense is all too common.
Seriously, the only cleansing the bishop needs is of his conscience in the sacrament of confession and from the modernist gibberish he no doubt believes.
Perhaps, instead, the good bishop could take as an example Ss. Nabor and Felix, on whose feast day he was installed. According to their acts they were both soldiers who refused to sacrifice to the gods worshipped by the Empire and were therefore beheaded.
Ss. Nabor et Felix, ora pro nobis.

Excellent comment!

They have become apostates who stand for nothing.

I half expected them to skip off singing, "Follow the yellow brick road..." but they wouldn't want to appear to be proselytizing. 🙄

This is not the Catholic church.

The Vatican II Conciliar Church masquerading as the Roman Catholic Faith. Proof that they do not have the Sacraments to cleanse them.

Good point, definitely makes one stop and think🤔

Agree that he does need to be cleansed...confession/life of penance.
