Fr. Girouard's email to his parishioners and email list

(With permission)

Dear Friends,

Thanks be to God, I had the opportunity to see the new Pope coming on the balcony and receive his first blessing.

The new Pope was born in Chicago, but his last name is French Canadian: Prevost. Possibly his great-grand-father came from Quebec in the late 1800s, like many others, to find work in American factories when times were rough in Canada.

Good News: We are going back to a traditional name of a Pope: Leo. Away with newfangled names like John Paul and Francis.

But remember: Benedict XVI did the same and came very close to absorbing the Neo-SSPX. This may very well happen now, especially in view of the Neo-SSPX wanting a new bishop.

Bad news: His first message was a promise to continue to move forward after Francis, and look for peace and justice, and work on a Synodal Church. He referred a lot to Francis, and even repeated some of his words. He said the Church welcomes everybody, just like today at St. Peter's square, and we need to dialogue and build bridges. We need to be missionaries of the Gospel. (Fine, but which Gospel? the one of Francis?). In other words: More ecuмenism is on the menu. Except for his reference to the Gospel of St John, when Leo XIV said Christ is the light that dispels darkness, I heard nothing about the need to fight for Truth and against Errors.

If you click on the link of the Cardinals website, you will find more on where he stands. Once again, he is in favor of a Synodal Church. Also, he was accused in 2022 to have covered up the sɛҳuąƖ abuse of 2 of his priests in his Peru diocese, and giving $150,000 in hush money to the victims.

As you say in English: "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree".
