The St. Marys Star is not a Catholic-owned newspaper. The writier of the article is an SSPX Catholic, but he had little choice but to cover both ordinations, as they were both news-worthy items. The front page layout is not done by Catholics either. Sspxbvm is once again twisting the truth for his own agenda.

The SSPX man who was ordained was Fr. Christopher Pedersen. The other person is an NO, not related to St. Marys in anyway (he's actually from Delia, and was never Trad).

You have judged me. Now, may God judge YOU.

Let me put this story straight.  My name is Patrick Murtha, the reporter on the St. Marys Star who reported on the ordinations of Fr. Pederson and Fr. Bowers.  While I am sometimes given my stories, I do at times find my own.  In both of these cases, I found them and chose them.  They are both about priests of the Catholic Church from local families, which makes both stories newsworthy.  The one is in the SSPX; the other, while he is in the Novus Ordo, is not in apostasy--as far as I can tell, and if there is doubt, the law of Charity rules in favor of the good.  (To make that judgment would require the judge to know more than you or I know.  I'll leave that in God's hands.)  Hopefully, the truth satisfies you, and you can sleep soundly.

While working with the newspaper, I have discovered that one of the faults of the modern time is the over-reaction of people who think they know but who do not know.  The internet is definitely no help.  It feeds very limited relevant information and much curiosity--and to top it off, as anyone can conjure up the "news," the truth of situations becomes rather difficult to discover.  (And these forums are often the worst offenders, creating a false arena for pseudo-intellectualism, fomenting dissent among a very vocal few.)  A few people hear a few things and, suddenly being moved, often by their emotions, jump to ridiculous and damaging conclusions, and resist fantasies.

St. John Chrysostom: "Let the mouth too fast from disgraceful speeches and railing.  For what doth it profit if we abstain from birds and fishes; and yet bite and devour our brethren?  The evil speaker eateth the flesh of his brother and biteth the body of his neighbor....Thou hast not fixed thy teeth in the flesh, but thou has fixed the slander in the soul, and inflicted the wound of evil suspicion...in slandering a neighbor thou hast made him who listens to the slander worse; for should he be a wicked man, he becomes more careless when he finds a partner in his wickedness; and should he be a just man, he is lifted to arrogance and puffed up; being led on by the sin of others to imagine great things concerning himself."

People who wish to blog and spread what they consider "news" must educate themselves on the role of the media in society.  Many of the 19th and 20th century popes spoke on it.  Pius XII spoke several speeches on it--the principles of his encyclical Miranda Prorsus apply.

Newspapers and the Internet and TV news do this openly - put out tidbits of information in an attempt to sell newspapers (best case scenario) or to manipulate the public (worst case scenario).  The free press of the US and of the world did not prevent the world from being lied into one war after another and the free press manipulated the public in every major social cause of the last several decades.

Are people who work in the media morally compromised paid agents of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ or do they just suck up to power?

I think I understand why the popes of past centuries were opposed to the Masonic concept of a free press because, largely, it gives the deceives and liars the chance to flood the public airwaves with too many lies for those who care abut truth to sift through and remove.

I'm glad those two are not the same guy.  The last thing this world needs is another novus ordo presider.  The first thing this world needs is an SSPX priest.  However, one more of each is acting like truth is relative.  The Society Priest will confect the Blessed Sacrament, the novus ordite presider will lecture the assembly on the necessity of recycling.

What I would like to read about is the ordination of eleven men to the Holy Priesthood on page one while hearing of a local diocese not only declaring bankruptcy but having a rummage sale of all those pre-Vatican II statues that they have been storing in the basement all these decades.

Being under Rome is an apostasy.

Rome is in apostasy.  Rome attacks the Latin mass
And sends lukewarm mixed signals in regards to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity in the priesthood.
Rome continues to destroy Churches and schools that were built by the original traditional Catholics.  They condoned and protect convicted priest pedophiles while excommunicating traditional Catholics for disobedience.

There was a good video from a Ukrainian Greek bishop who spoke against the apostasy of Rome.
Even the Russian Orthodox is preaching against ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity and same sex marriage.
Even the evangelicals are speaking out against ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity and same sex marriage.

Not the novus ordo and not the sspx.

Novus ordo and sspx are lukewarm and indifferent when protecting the sacraments of Holy Orders and Marriage.

All sspx hierarchy and clergy can talk about is declarations and doctrines.  

And any novus ordo priest who preaches against abortion, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity , sɛҳuąƖ abuse, modesty are persecuted by novus ordo hierarchy.

Silence and condoning and covering up sin is accomplice to sin.

I don't care about sspx, fssp, novus ordo

We need to Chaste, holy Roman Catholic Priests of The true Catholic faith
