On the Street: Horrible Profanation

The Daughters of Saint Anne in Santiago, Chile, were alerted on March 28 by a woman that hosts were lying in the street next to their convent.

It turned out that two ciboria with hosts were stolen from the tabernacle in the nearby Grotto of Lourdes which belongs to the Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes.

At around 4.30 p.m., the Superior of the sisters started picking up hosts from the street. Other hosts were found further down the road.

The parish priest, Assumptionist Father Pedro Pedraza wrote in a statement, “Forgive us, O Lord, because you were thrown away like rubbish, and for what we dare to do to you!”

@Jayjayem Gee You're being "judgy" when you say, "you people on this website are so 'judgy'". But that's okay when YOU do it, yes? ;-)

Jayjayem Gee

That's a ridiculous reply...nonsense!

You are doing what you accuse others of doing: being "judgy". That accusation: "You people on this website are so 'judgy' " is also being "judgy". Since you claim that argument is "nonsense" then YOU must show how your judgement of people on this website is NOT being "judgy". Good luck. ;-)

Defeat Modernism

It's a good thing the new rites of ordination and the new mass are both invalid. No Real Presence in the Novus Ordo Cult of Man

That is true. In my parish, I see women and old,old nuns (habitless femminists of course), going up to the altar, opening the tabranacle, and handing out hosts for "Eucharistic ministers" to the sick, as if they were cookies. No genuflection, no respect. Typical of everything from the Vatican II Church. I am ashamed of it, from Pope on down, and am sorry that I've been stuck growing up in the Vatican II Church in the 90's-early 2000's, just as my parents were stuck in the late 1960's. I envy the kind of great Pope and Church my grandparents grew up with in the 1930's-40's, even though it was in Japan and not Philadelphia, Pa. 😍

I love the Latin Mass-but if the Novus Ordo is invalid explain the Eucharistic miracles that happen during and from it.
