AMDG posts on a chapter of Voice of the Faithful<\/a> in St Louis being in solidarity with the Rev. Bozek and the board of St. Stanislaus which has recently been declared to be in schism by Archbishop Burke. VOTF’s mask of fidelity to the Church was never fastened very securely, but it now seems to be slipping even more. They say that their mission is to support priests of integrity and then support a priest who has just been excommunicated. I guess my definition of integrity doesn’t match theirs. Obviously they support lay investiture even when it is a schismatic act.<\/p>\n

They end their letter of support by saying.<\/p>\n

We hope that all Catholics in the archdiocese will honor Rev. Bozek and his new parish by joining them for 10 p.m. Mass on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

Oh great come on down and commit a mortal sin for Christmas Eve. That surely we please our savior. As Archbishop Burke said:<\/p>\n

The faithful who approach a schismatic priest for the reception of the sacraments, except in the case of danger of death, commit a mortal sin.<\/p>\n

Being that this is Christmas here is the hymn Adeste Infidelis I wrote for them before<\/a>.<\/p>\n

O Come, Voice of the Faithful,
\nBoastful and defiant,
\nO come ye dissidents to Boston, Mass
\nCome now and scold him
\nScorn the resigned Cardinal<\/p>\n

O come, let us exploit it,
\nO come, let us exploit it,
\nO come, let us exploit it,
\nthe situation<\/p>\n

Sing, litigation,
\nAll ye choirs of attorneys;
\nO sing, lay investiture that old heresy
\nGlory to the Globe-
\nFor their many stories!<\/p>\n

O come, let us exploit it,
\nO come, let us exploit it,
\nO come, let us exploit it,
\nthe situation<\/p>\n

Attacking celibacy
\nWe give you this warning
\nMarried or priestesses is our solution,
\nBegone now father
\nSchisms fresh appearing<\/p>\n

O come, let us exploit it,
\nO come, let us exploit it,
\nO come, let us exploit it,
\nthe situation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
