To Hell With Pastoral Care: Irish Bishop Forbids Mass

Bishop Fintan Gavin (56) of Cork and Ross has banned weekday Masses at St Peter and St Paul's Church in Cork, Ireland's second largest city (population 222K).

This very successful mass has been celebrated for years. In July 2020, popular radio DJ Gareth O'Callaghan tweeted that there were "so many young people there."

Gavin also suppressed the Dominican Rite Mass at St Mary Church, which drew an impressive crowd early on Sunday. The church houses the Dominican novitiate under the care of former Manchester United player Father Philip Mulryne.

The third Mass in Cork at Rosary Church is out of reach for the destructive Gavin as it is celebrated by the Society of PiusX.

CatholicArena.com (17 September) comments that many young people will now move to PiusX, others to the ICKSP in Limerick and some will simply feel unwanted and lose interest.

Welcome to the Francis Church, where ideology and rigidity are more important than the faithful!

The last part of the last canon in the Code of Canon Law says that the salvation of souls is the highest law of the Church. That is not being followed to the least extent.

Definately plorizing the Masses! Also a communist!

"Do this in remembrance of Me." It doesn't get much clearer than that. Any prelate who prevents the mass from being said is committing a grave derilection of duty as commanded by our Lord and Savior.
