And The Seminary Of Terrassa Diocese?

What happens in Toulon, France, has happened in a similar way Terrassa Diocese, near Barcelona, Spain, GerminansGerminabit.Blogspot.com (June 19) writes.

Bishop Josep Saiz, 65, and his excellent seminary became a “dangerous competitor” for Barcelona Cardinal Juan Omella. Bishops started complaining that Saiz was “taking away” their seminarians.

So the machinery necessary to neutralise Saiz was set in motion. Saiz was “promoted” to Seville in June 2021.

Toledo Seminary faced similar complaints. Since it was refounded by Cardinal Gonzáles Martín (+2004), nearly 1,000 priests from all over Spain were ordained. The bishops without seminarians were not happy.

Only, at that time, the Vatican was not run by people who persecute the Mass while promoting those bishops who let their dioceses quietly die.

Our family in USA, and before that when we were in Japan until I was almost 15 (2008) has been CAtholic since the late 1600's, at great risk in those days because the Tokugawa Shogunate actively persecuted and executed, often by crucifixion, Japanese converts to Catholicism. But we still have alot of relatives in Japan who never converted, and are Buddhist/Shinto, or some don't practice anything. One cousin who is fairly secularist but goes to Buddhist temples or Shinto shrines for major holidays reads alot about Catholics and the Church, and e-mailed me a question which I foound extremely embarassing. He asked if Pope Francis and his Vatican were actually Catholics. I was ashamed to have to answer "NO". My cousin, whose name is Akira, said "I didn't think so." How embarassing cor me, and for all faithful Catholics!
