ABOUT THE PRELATE CONCILING THAT HE WAS PRESENT IN THE ORDINATIONS OF THE US FSSPX
http://nonpossumus-vcr.blogspot.com/2019/06/acerca-del-prelado-conciliar-que-estuvo.html

A Catholic catholic prelate of the Maronite rite attended the priestly ordinations at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Virginia, USA on June 21. It is about the C Orobispo (*)Anthony Spinosa . See this prelate in the following photos published by the same FSSPX:

The Chorbishop Spinosa has previously attended the ordinations of the Fraternity:

Spinosa has participated in the "Catholic Identity" conferences organized by The Remnant, and in which the FSSPX also participates regularly (see the initial photo of this post).

Apparently, their links with the SSPX are quite close. For example, in his ordination and investiture as Corobispo, in 2016, Fr. Scott Gardner, Econome of the United States District, attended. At the Novus Ordo Mass concelebrated on that occasion, this priest took an active part (although not concelebrating).

Wanting to know a little more about Spinoza, we found some disturbing things on his Facebook page :

- He points out that he "likes" the Fraternity of Saint Peter and a clothing site called "Romantic Catholic", not at all traditional ... nor manly.

- But also - and this is really serious - between what he says "likes" has included an "adult entertainment" site, called "Palace in the Pines", which is a nudist bar :

- He also points out that he "likes" the " Stand Up " foundation of sportsman Ben Cohen, anorganization dedicated to "combating bullying", especially against ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs, transsɛҳuąƖs, etc. This Cohen is considered a "gαy icon" that has appeared on the cover of some magazines for ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs ( source ):

Cohen's Facebook

- And he has registered as a " friend " a man who follows both openly ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ and "gαy dating " pages , as well as traditionalists . For example:

Questions:

1) Was the 2016 investiture Mass of Chorbishop Spinoza which Fr. Gardner participated in a Novus Ordo, or a Maronite rite Mass?

2) I don't know how Facebook works, so just wondering: Is it possible that Spinoza's "liking" the gαy bar, and his "friending" the sodomite pop up on their own (i.e., like ads popping up on websites we visit, or would he actively/deliberately have had to personally "like" and "friend" them)?

1- Maronite
2- yes

Louie Vorrechio gave talks at the shrine for the Assumption pilgrimage
From AKA SITE:

Quote

OLL Shrine PilgrimageI’m truly honored to tell you that next weekend, August 13-15, I will be presenting three conferences at the Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon in North Jackson, OH, as part of their annual Assumption Pilgrimage.

The Basilica is a Maronite Catholic Church under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon in St. Louis, MO.

Over the last several months I’ve exchanged some correspondence with the Shrine’s rector, Monsignor Anthony Spinosa. I was thrilled to learn that on Saturday, the 13th, he will be ordained (consecrated?) Chorbishop.

I had to admit to Monsignor that I had to Google the title!

From Wikipedia:

In the Maronite Church, a chorbishop is similar to but not identical to an auxiliary bishop. Like a bishop, a chorbishop is ordained, and may wear a bishop’s vestments including the mitre (hat) and crozier (staff). A Maronite chorbishop has the power to confer minor orders (reader and the subdiaconate), but not the diaconate or priesthood. The role of protosyncellus (vicar general) is often filled by a chorbishop.

If we have any Maronite readers who wish to expand on this, that would be terrific.

In any case, if you happen to live nearby, please join us. This promises to be a wonderful weekend.

For my part, I will give two conferences on Sunday; one on the Social Kingship of Christ and the other on Christian Marriage. On Monday, I will give a conference on Fatima and Guadalupe and Our Lady’s messages.

NOTE: Preparing these conferences has recently taken some time away from the blog, just in case you noticed fewer postings. I want to thank all of you who support akaCatholic. Without your kindness I wouldn’t be able to give conferences like the ones upcoming – something I thoroughly enjoy doing.

Please pray for hearts and minds to be touched next weekend; mine included!

On Facebook when you 'like' a site it usually brings up other supposed related pages it sometimes beings totally unrelated things up so you could like accidentally, also if I was a pro life activity chair I might deliberately like a local pro abort page to know when there activities are going on to have a counter demonstration. Or for example if the shrine is on the same city block as a gαy bar I might want to know if they planned crazy public crap before a childrens communion procession.

Pretty sure he's been attending ordinations for years pre chorbishop ordination though

What do you think Fr. Scott Gardiner's role in the Spinoza appearances?

Is he Spinoza's ecuмenical-trad mentor or bodyguard?

I could easily see him playing the role of the latter.

If too many laymen started asking Spinoza questions, he would need a character like Fr. Gardiner to intervene for him.

It was a Maronite Rite Liturgy.

Speculation: My guess is that the proprietor, either under his name, or whose profile had been named for the 'establishment' had friended +Spinoza, (then changed the profile/page from his own name to the 'establishment name,') and then in turn, switched from a profile to a business page, which makes you automatically 'like' it.

In his observance of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, a priest should always face the Congregation at those times when he directly addresses the Community or when he gives a blessing or benediction, and he should turn to the altar when he addresses or pray to the Lord.
The text of the Mass should be in the vernacular particularly at those times when the priest speaks to the congregation.” […] Souce: https://sjmaronite.org/index.php/en-us/the-mysteries/divine-liturgy.html

Quite interesting Benzel!

Looks like you've been following this subject for awhile?

How methodical was rabbi Montini, (a.k.a., Pope Paul VI) in searching far and wide to implement destruction upon the Holy Mass.

My own thought is that it would be incredibly reckless of this Chorbishop to like/friend the person and establishment in question, knowing his activity would be open to the gaze of the whole world, and this realization in turn heavily implies some other explanation beside his personal guilt (e.g., such as has been discussed above).

Oh, absolutely. 100%. There's no need for quotes - the Maronite liturgy IS the Novus Ordo. And their clergy seem to be indistinguishable from Novus Ordo clergy, too.

You can give him the benefit of the doubt if you want, because pages can get "liked" by accident. But the "Like" button has to be clicked. A liked page doesn't show up out of nowhere. It has to be clicked. Again, it could be by accident, like the slip of a big thumb on a small phone.

FB will suggest a lot of pages similar to what you've already liked, or pages that your friends like. There is usually some degree of relation to something or someone else in your circle. As far as I have experienced I have never had such a page suggested for liking since it's nowhere near my circle. But the pages could have been suggested to him as pages that that "friend" mentioned above likes and he may have accidentally liked them himself. That's the benefit of the doubt that could be afforded.

To me this is a red flag that gets filed away and if nothing comes of it, then it was a fαℓѕє fℓαg. If it is accompanied by other red flags at some point in the future, then it couldn't continue to be explained away.

I can't find the profile that is screenshot above. Only a very clean Chorbishop Anthony S Spinosa profile is showing up for me. I don't know if it's the same person.

Well besides all this, he’s a big face for the Remnant and CFN and a speaker at the CIC, friend of the SSPX, FSSP and ICK ... a tradcuмenist, we’re all ok, no principles. +ABL is ok, it’s also ok to stab him in the back. As long as we all have pretty liturgy and say some conservatives things. It’s all good!

Chorbishop Anthony Spinosa will be another face who will fade in with the indult Michael Matt/Chris Ferreira crowd.

I think his friendship to the nuSociety says more about it in this regard then it does about him.

Oh, he was just probably "reaching-out" to the sinners"

Funny, I don't recall Max Krah ever denying his facebook content?
