    Catholic Priest Sues NJ Governor Phil Murphy to Hold Mass
    By Sasha O'Conner  May 1, 2020




    Link




    Catholic priest Father Kevin Robinson has sued NJ governor Phil Murphy alleging that executive order 107, invoked to fight the Corona virus Pandemic, is infringing on his 1st and 14th amendment rights.

    Fr. Robinson who serves St. Anthony of Padua church in North Caldwell, NJ alleges that he has been unable to carry out his priestly functions due to the COVID-19 lockdown, saying in an email to his parishioners ”my civil rights have been violated as a result of Gov. Murphy’s unconstitutional order to shut down religious services in the State.”

    According to the suit Father Robinson:
    “has been threatened by local law enforcement with arrest and criminal prosecution if he dares to offer a Mass or conduct any other public gathering in his church, which remains closed due to this threat.”


    While churches have been placed under interdict as “non-essential” in New Jersey, The Red Elephants has confirmed that it is still possible to schedule appointments at the Montclair Center (A Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinic) as early as Monday Monday May 4th at 9:40 AM.
    The lawsuit, filed by Christopher Ferrara of the St. Thomas More Society of Catholic Lawyers alleges that the governor’s executive order has violated Fr. Robinsons Free Exercise of Religion, Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly among other things.
    Fr. Robinson stated:

    “It is our hope that this lawsuit will force the State to treat religious institutions as an “essential service,” with the same allowances that are already made for other essential services. If we prevail, we will once again begin holding Mass at St. Anthony’s, albeit under some limitations.”

    Despite stay at home orders, churches in Las Cruces, NM, Southeast Texas and Montana have begun to re-open, but in New Jersey, if Fr. Robinson tried to hold mass this Sunday with only 50 people, he would be subject to arrest and criminal prosecution.

    This past January, Fr. Robinson led a group of protestors to the State House in Trenton, NJ to protest mandatory vaccinations on the premise of religious objections. Ultimately, Fr. Robinson and his band of protestors were victorious, as the courts in new jersey struck down the bill.

    Robinson’s case is currently underway, and depending on the ruling of the judge, mass may once again be celebrated in St. Anthony of Padua church as early as this Sunday. This is a developing story, and we will bring you updates as they become available.

    • I knew him at seminary.  While I applaud the effort, what the heck is he doing by saying that he hopes to be classified as an “essential service”.  That is to basically concede the state’s position that they can violate constitutional rights if you’re not an “essential service”?

    Yeah, the SSPX speaks the Masonic vernacular.  


    They should speak like the Holy Pope Pius IX on the Curch’s rights.  Of course, the state is so judaized, it could not comprehend this language.


    But all the same, it sounds like the SSPX is showing “some” leadership, we hope.

    Constitutional rights, in the first place, are not all based on natural law so there is no intrinsic violation of a person's liberty if they are superseded for a greater good.
    As for Father using this language in his legal battle then that is not a concession of anything. He has to fight this legal battle in the court of his opponents, using the law methodology of his opponents, and through a judge put in place by his opponents. Thus using this legal jargon is to be very expected and does not necessitate such a conclusion as you stated.

    Using legal language in a legal battle is not "masonic vernacular."

    Yes, charity... I need more of it.

    But still there are many examples where the SSPX too easily adopts to ʝʊdɛօ-masonic, world friendly concepts.

    Usury (interest bearing loans paid by their faithful), Branding and even dialogue with Destroyer Pope’s are some examples.

    BTW, Governor Abbot of Texas just backed down after being sued by St. Jude’s Shrine and 19 other plaintiffs.

    Are you tipping your hand?

    The priest should simply resume saying public Masses, without regard to the illegitimate intrusion of the temporal authority into the spiritual sphere.

    One does not ask permission to do one’s duty.

    Complying with these tyrannical police state measures only guarantees and emboldens their tyrannical police state, and further enslaves us.

    What is needed to remedy the situation is widespread civil disobedience.

    My apologies if I understood incorrectly. I thought it was Fr. Robinson being quoted.
    But my argument still stands via my post above (not about SSPX criticism, but about using terms such as "essential" in a legal battle).
