” The Independent described Xi as “ one of the last major international ‘ hold outs ’ ” who had yet to congratulate Biden .
Reports suggest that Xi ’ s message came as a result of President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s transition , although Trump promises that he is not conceding the election .

lifesitenews--2020-11-27--‘Irrelevant’: NY Gov Cuomo downplays Supreme Courts’ pro-religious-liberty decision

NEW YORK , November 27 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling against New York Governor Cuomo ’ s capacity limits in places of worship , President Trump has welcomed the decision , whilst Cuomo termed it “ irrelevant ” and a mere “ statement.
” In a 5-4 ruling late on Wednesday , the Supreme Court blocked Cuomo ’ s extreme limits of places of worship , stating that “ the regulations can not be viewed as neutral because they single out houses of worship for especially harsh treatment.
” The regulations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as few as 10 people inside , no matter the size of the building , whilst “ essential businesses ” were allowed to operate as normal , with no limit on the capacity .
Commenting on this apparent hypocritical treatment , whereby “ it may be unsafe to go to church , but it is always fine to pick up another bottle of wine , ” Justice Gorsuch stated in the ruling , “ Who knew public health would so perfectly align with secular convenience ?
” In Wednesday ’ s ruling , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a pandemic , the Constitution can not be put away and forgotten .
The restrictions at issue here , by effectively barring many from attending religious services , strike at the very heart of the First Amendment ’ s guarantee of religious liberty.
” Despite this , Gov .
Cuomo has lashed out at the Supreme Court , saying that “ The Supreme Court made a ruling .
It ’ s more illustrative of the Supreme Court than anything else.
” Cuomo continued : “ It ’ s irrelevant of any practical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talking about is moot .
It expired last week .
It doesn ’ t have any practical effect.
” “ The lawsuit was about the Brooklyn zone .
The Brooklyn zone no longer exists as a red zone .
That ’ s mooted .
So that restriction is no longer in effect .
That situation just doesn ’ t exist because those restrictions are gone , ” added the governor .
Speaking to the New York Times , Cuomo took aim at the conservative members of the court : “ You have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the statement that the court was making .
We know who he appointed to the court .
We know their ideology.
” However , President Trump shared news of the victory , by a tweet with the words , “ HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
” House Republican Leader , Kevin McCarthy , also welcomed the news , saying “ Power-hungry Democrats like Cuomo have used the pandemic as an excuse to target people of faith with radical restrictions .
It has no basis in science , and the Supreme Court agrees .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a reason to be thankful today !
” Brooklyn and Staten Island Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis , said “ Last night ’ s Supreme Court decision is a victory for religious institutions , their congregations and all freedom-loving Americans .
Governor Cuomo ’ s arbitrary restrictions not only infringed on our First Amendment rights but did not take into account building capacity or safety protocols put in place.
” “ It is fitting that the Court ’ s decision was made on the eve of Thanksgiving , a holiday founded by Pilgrims who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ religious freedom .
New Yorkers & all Americans have one more thing to be thankful for today .
”

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

Considering its importance, I decided to also publish it today as a blog article so that non-subscribers could also read it.
I strongly urge you to read it and to consider the directions given at the end.
You are needed to do a simple daily task to defend our core rights and freedoms that are now in greater danger than at any time since World War II. See especially the last paragraphs of this message.
During the last few weeks, we have been seeing a dramatic lack of reporting by all mainstream television, radio, and postings in social media of positive news about Trump’s legal teams’ successes or positive or corrective news about the COVID virus. And social media censoring of anyone who does such reporting has also gone well beyond previous censoring.
People cannot possibly understand what is really happening now on the election and COVID issues if all they rely upon is the tsunami of constant lies in the regular media.
Turn off all television and radio news! Stay away from mainstream media social media postings. They will warp, and have long been warping, the minds of millions with their propaganda, creating unwarranted great fear and turning us against each other.
Google-owned YouTube is threatening to permanently de-platform LifeSite because of a video that contained audio comments severely criticizing the need for mask mandates and lockdowns, from a prominent, highly respected Canadian physician, that were similar to comments from numerous other, even world-leading, U.S. and Canadian doctors. YouTube claimed that the comments in that video, and in a previous one in a Mother Miriam program, contained “medical misinformation.” That is false!
YouTube acts against any comments that do not completely agree with the often changing directions of the heavily Chinese communist–influenced WHO, led by Tedros Adhanom, a non-physician and former communist Ethiopian terrorist. The WHO gave seriously wrong information about the COVID-19 virus at the begining of the pandemic that greatly contributed to the virus’s global spread. It was defunded by President Trump because of this and its strong pro-abortion record.
Today, we have an article related to Johns Hopkins that seriously undermines the contrived fear that Democrats and their international global elite allies want everyone in the world to be experiencing for many not just months, but even years to come. They need that fear to implement their “Build Back Better” Global Reset” with greater speed and greater intensity than many might imagine.
Dr. Genevieve Briand’s study, exposing that COVID-19 has not led to significant overall excess deaths in the United States from 2014 to 2020, is astounding. It contradicts everything the media and almost all of the “health” bureaucrats have been incessantly pounding into our heads to convince us to accept their demands to hide in our homes; not allow anyone, even family, into our homes; wear masks all the time; close up again all small, medium, and even large businesses that will surely end up permanently closed down if this continues much more; and consider everyone else a potential killer by viral contagion.
Briand’s report has of course been censored and removed by Johns Hopkins. We have the study for you to consider yourselves instead of unilaterally pronouncing that it can’t possibly be true.
Steve Mosher has written what we believe is the most encouraging and best article you will see anywhere on the latest fraud revelations by the Trump legal teams. This too is astounding.
Yesterday, we published yet two more articles on the amazing Sidney Powell. You must read them here and here. The pardon of General Michael Flynn is incredibly good news. The Democrats started to destroy him even before his new boss, Donald Trump, was sworn in as president. They made Flynn’s past four years a daily hell because of how they deliberately entrapped him.
Why did they do this? Because he was known to be the one person who could have exposed the many criminal activities of Obama; Clinton; and their crooked FBI, CIA, and other intelligence agency–installed traitors. Flynn knew, as they say, where all the bodies are buried. None of the mainstream media will have published as positive an article as we and other conservative alternative media did on his pardon. The Sidney Powell criminal fraud team is greatly blessed to have Flynn working with it. There is no one better.
Another astounding story that we recently published was on Dr. Michael Yeadon, a former vice president and chief scientist for international vaccine giant Pfizer, who has flatly rejected the need for any vaccines to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to an end. He heroically publicly stated, “There is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic. I’ve never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines. You do not vaccinate people who aren’t at risk from a disease. You also don’t set about planning to vaccinate millions of fit and healthy people with a vaccine that hasn’t been extensively tested on human subjects.”
This man is about as knowledgeable and credible as you can find in the world. That article has gone viral because it has made people realize that, YES, he makes sense!
So what is the point of all the above?
We need good people — that is all of you — to be spreading LifeSiteNews articles, and every day encouraging as many people as you can think of to become subscribers to our daily news emails. We need you to help people realize that they are being massively lied to every day by all of the media that most people are normally exposed to.
We need you to help them have hope!
We need you to help them realize that there are news services, like LifeSite, that are totally trustworthy, that tell the real, factual news, that do not manipulate or purposely hide uncomfortable news.
Most will eventually thank you for changing their lives as a result of this.
That action by you is the most effective way to save the world from the tyranny that we may be imminently facing.
On its own, truth has great power. We have learned this repeatedly over our 23+ years of existence.
When the populace is regularly exposed to truth, people tend to become encouraged, emboldened, and willing to fight to save all that is most precious to them.
PLEASE, do at least something related to this one task every day, to the extent that you are able. Do not be timid. Ignore temporary negative feedback. You and we have everything to gain and a frightening level of rights and freedoms to lose if we do not take on this responsibility.
And, of course, pray as you have never prayed before during the next several weeks.

lifesitenews--2020-11-28--COVID-19: Americans are in “delusional psychosis” and policing each other, psychiatrist warns

November 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — America is on the verge of being “ lost ” because many of its citizens are suffering from a “ delusional psychosis ” and so fearful that they are turning on each other to enforce “ nonsensical ” coronavirus restrictions , a California psychiatrist has warned .
“ We don ’ t need a police force .
We don ’ t need a secret Stasi to go after the neighbor that isn ’ t wearing his mask on a park bench .
We have families who are willing to do that , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during a summit on the virus .
“ We have office workers [ who ] will come by and mace you if you are not wearing a mask , and no one will come to your rescue .
In fact , they ’ ll probably applaud it.
” A child and adolescent psychiatrist in private practice in West Los Angeles .
Dr. Mark McDonald made his remarks during the virtual Truth Over Fear Summit organized by Catholic broadcaster Patrick Coffin .
The “ driving force of the coronavirus pandemic and the hysteria ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the summit .
This fear has now “ grown and become so entrenched that it has reached a state of what I would call delusional psychosis .
A delusion is a fixed false belief that is contrary to reality , ” he added .
“ Fear has become a new virtue .
Never before in the history of this country have we told people that fear is good , ” or to “ settle into ” those fears and allow them “ to control and constrain your life , ” said McDonald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Line Doctors White Coat Summits in July and October .
Moreover , Americans “ who are either afraid , or who have been fed lies and misinformation for months now , have grown to not only feel afraid , but also to believe that what they are being told is true , which is primarily that all of us are at equal risk of catching a virus and dying from it , ” McDonald said .
“ This is demonstrably untrue .
It is a lie , in fact .
And we ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lie for about six months , and yet people have come to believe it.
” While there was “ a lot of infection ” from the coronavirus , there was “ very , very little death or hospitalization outside of very specific populations , ” McDonald said .
“ Less than one percent of the population accounts for over 90 percent of all the deaths , ” which occur in people “ over age 70 , mostly over age 80 , with at least two and a half to three comorbidities , according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Other than that group of people , we really are not at risk of hospitalization or death in any meaningful way from this virus , certainly less than we are of standard influenza.
” Most disturbingly , the pandemic “ hysteria ” has reached the stage of “ going beyond fear , going beyond the crazy itself , to what I would call group control , ” he said .
As a result , Americans are policing themselves to such an extent that governments have “ dialed down ” enforcement of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ notches , ” he observed .
During a recent flight on Delta Airlines , a “ furious ” flight attendant “ castigated me ” for drinking water for more than three minutes , and continued to “ hound ” him throughout the flight , McDonald related .
When the plane reached its destination , McDonald was “ escorted off ” and interviewed by a station manager .
Two weeks later , he received a letter from Delta banning him from flights “ in perpetuity , ” or until the airline withdrew its mask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told by the person he was traveling with that “ all the passengers erupted into applause ” after he was escorted off the plane , because “ their anxiety was relieved by me being punished for not appropriately wearing the mask as requested , as demanded.
” During another flight , McDonald went to the galley for some water , and an attendant on her break offered to get him some , but was berated by an on-duty flight attendant for not wearing a mask .
“ This colleague attacking colleague , passenger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of behavior I ’ ve never , ever seen before .
I was stunned , ” McDonald said .
“ So the end result of this : what appears to me is a country which is using its own citizens as a de facto police force , very similar to communist China , that has a social point system in place where neighbor informs on neighbor , family informs on family , ” he said .
“ This has a terribly damaging effect on our society.
” He said that while misinformation is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Americans are also at fault for their “ laziness ” about educating themselves .
When the pandemic was first declared , McDonald had “ patience ” with people because they were “ confused ” by all the conflicting information , but his sympathy has run out .
“ There is readily available information on all platforms of the Internet , social media that any reasonably intelligent and literate person can find and evaluate and critically analyze , ” he said .
So widespread and so rooted is this delusional psychosis that “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my office every day , I have to prepare myself for the inevitable experience of what I would call the ‘ outdoor insane asylum , ’ ” McDonald said .
The experience “ reminds me of my time that I spent in residency where I would go through a locked unit door , the door shut behind me , and I ’ d have to remind myself that anyone not wearing a badge behind that door is crazy , ” added McDonald .
“ Now I have to do the same when I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my assumption is that any person that I run into is insane.
” McDonald also warned things could get much worse .
“ With a positive outcome in the election , with the removal of those who wish to destroy the country and the election of those who wish to preserve it , we have a fighting chance , but we need a virtuous populace as well , not just a virtuous governing body , ” McDonald said at the summit , which took place a few days before the election .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and cherish freedom as a virtue , rather than fear .
Never before in the history of this country has fear been enshrined as a virtue .
If it stays this way and we don ’ t address it and redress it , we are lost.

— Article continues below Petition — PETITION: No to mandatory vaccination for the coronavirus Show Petition Text 1082415 have signed the petition. Let's get to 1100000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition People of goodwill can disagree about the safety, efficacy and religious implications of a new vaccine for the coronavirus. But, everyone should agree on this point: No government can force anyone who has reached legal adulthood to be vaccinated for the coronavirus. Equally, no government can vaccinate minors for the coronavirus against the will of their parents or guardians. Please SIGN this urgent petition which urges policymakers at every level of government to reject calls for mandatory coronavirus vaccination. Fear of a disease - which we know very little about, relative to other similar diseases - must not lead to knee-jerk reactions regarding public health, nor can it justify supporting the hidden agenda of governmental as well as non-governmental bodies that have apparent conflicts of interest in plans to restrict personal freedoms. The so-called "public health experts" have gotten it wrong many times during the current crisis. We should not, therefore, allow their opinions to rush decision-makers into policies regarding vaccination. And, while some people, like Bill Gates, may have a lot of money, his opinion and that of his NGO (the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) - namely, that life will not return to normal till people are widely vaccinated - should not be permitted to influence policy decisions on a coronavirus vaccination program. Finally, we must also not allow the rush by pharmaceutical companies to produce a new coronavirus vaccine to, itself, become an imperative for vaccination. Unwitting citizens must not be used as guinea pigs for New World Order ideologues, or Big Pharma, in pursuit of a vaccine (and, profits) which may not even protect against future mutated strains of the coronavirus. And it goes without saying that the production of vaccines using aborted babies for cell replication is a total non-starter, as the technique is gravely immoral. However, if after sufficient study of the issue, a person who has reached the age of majority wishes to be vaccinated with a morally produced vaccine, along with his children, that is his business. But we cannot and will not permit the government to make that decision for us. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition, urging policymakers at all levels of government to reject mandatory coronavirus vaccination.

lifesitenews--2020-11-28--French bishops mobilize against 30-person rule at Mass

PARIS , France , November 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — French President Emmanuel Macron has reneged on his promise to order a review of rules for public worship made to the head of the bishops ’ conference , Eric de Moulins-Beaufort , during a phone call in the late evening of last Tuesday , sparking angry reactions on the part of many bishops , priests and faithful .
Despite his assurances , a 30-person rule has been maintained for all Masses , whether they be celebrated in tiny chapels or vast cathedrals .
Strong statements were made , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ procedure was presented at the Council of State by the French bishops , joined by many groups , priestly associations and the Christian defense league AGRIF .
A ruling is expected by Sunday morning , but some bishops have already asked Catholics to disregard the official rule and to return to public Mass for the First Sunday of Advent .
When Macron announced the 30-person rule on Tuesday at 8 p.m. , the most benevolent interpretation of his offhand treatment of spiritual needs suggested that he had simply made a mistake , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for public Masses up to 30 percent of their nominal capacity from the first day of the relaxing of confinement measures , this Saturday , onwards .
The Bishops ’ conference reacted promptly with a firm communiqué .
The phone call from the President to Moulins-Beaufort took place near midnight , according to the latter .
Macron , said the Archbishop of Reims , committed to the establishment of a “ realistic gauge ” by Thursday , to be followed by a further reevaluation on December 15 with regard to the COVID-19 situation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than Macron had forecast at the end of October ) .
On Thursday , however , when Prime Minister Jean Castex detailed the moderate easing of lockdown rules , he flatly stated that public worship would be restricted to 30 people .
This appears to have served as a wake-up call to the Catholic hierarchy in France .
The bishops had gone out of their way to propose “ sanitary protocols ” for public worship at several meetings with the government , around the 10th and the 20th of November ; many of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over France these last two Sundays in the name of “ preserving dialogue ” with the authorities , and they were confident that their voices had been heard by Macron and the government headed by Jean Castex .
“ Anger , ” “ incomprehension , ” “ humiliation , ” and even stronger words flourished on social media as ordinary Catholics protested that they would not obey such “ absurd ” orders .
Some 45 prayerful demonstrations have taken place all over the country , and a number of open-air Masses have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to express their exasperation at “ ridiculous ” and “ inapplicable ” rules on the mainstream media .
The head of the Christian Democrat party VIA , Jean-Frédéric Poisson , launched an appeal to “ civil disobedience.
” Bernard Antony , president of the AGRIF ( which together with others had obtained the return of public Masses at the end of the first confinement in May ) , issued a statement noting that the “ humiliation ” to which they have been submitted has likely encouraged the French bishops to react much more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He wrote : The strongest declaration on the part of the bishops came from Bernard Ginoux , bishop of Montauban , who has very consistently defended the rights of the faithful regarding assistance at Mass from the start of this crisis .
In a letter to his clergy and faithful , he wrote : In the most recent decisions of the government we are obliged to take note of the restrictions concerning public Masses .
I deeply regret that the government is refusing to listen to the Catholic Church and other cults and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us .
Limiting , regardless of location , the participation in Mass to 30 faithful is an encroachment on everyone ’ s freedom .
The Second Vatican Council recalls that “ free access to the sacraments derives directly from the right to religious liberty ” ( Declaration on Religious Liberty No .
13 ) , adding that “ the Church should enjoy all the freedom of action she needs to watch over the salvation of men.
” From the Law of Separation of Church and State ( 1905 ) it follows that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worship or in its modalities , except in matters of public order .
Churches remain open , and the faithful who wish to come to them may do so , without any authority being empowered to establish a ban or to demand that they obtain an authorization to do so .
The presence of the faithful in a church is not in itself a public disorder .
Consequently , I ask that Masses resume in the diocese at the usual Sunday hours , applying the health protocol in force ( Diocesan Circular No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ always respected .
It is the responsibility of the parish priest or his delegate to ensure that the rules established according to the health protocol are respected .
If certain persons ( celebrants , liturgical actors , faithful ) are fined at the end of the Mass , they should refuse to pay the fine on the spot .
I ask that these facts be transmitted to me and I will instruct the lawyer of the diocese to take up these cases .
If some of you wish to say an extra Mass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so provisionally in agreement with your pastoral teams .
I charge you with making this message widely known , as I am doing myself in regard to the media .
I deeply regret that , in a free country , we should have reached this point .
A frightening pandemic does not justify a stranglehold on the Mass .
I pray for all of you and I entrust myself to your prayers .
At the beginning of this time of Advent I invite you to look at the Virgin Mary , our Mother @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Savior , our Hope .

PARIS, France, November 28, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — French President Emmanuel Macron has reneged on his promise to order a review of rules for public worship made to the head of the bishops’ conference, Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, during a phone call in the late evening of last Tuesday, sparking angry reactions on the part of many bishops, priests and faithful.
Despite his assurances, a 30-person rule has been maintained for all Masses, whether they be celebrated in tiny chapels or vast cathedrals. Strong statements were made, and this Saturday, a new emergency procedure was presented at the Council of State by the French bishops, joined by many groups, priestly associations and the Christian defense league AGRIF. A ruling is expected by Sunday morning, but some bishops have already asked Catholics to disregard the official rule and to return to public Mass for the First Sunday of Advent.
When Macron announced the 30-person rule on Tuesday at 8 p.m., the most benevolent interpretation of his offhand treatment of spiritual needs suggested that he had simply made a mistake, and meant that churches could receive the faithful for public Masses up to 30 percent of their nominal capacity from the first day of the relaxing of confinement measures, this Saturday, onwards.
The Bishops’ conference reacted promptly with a firm communiqué. The phone call from the President to Moulins-Beaufort took place near midnight, according to the latter. Macron, said the Archbishop of Reims, committed to the establishment of a “realistic gauge” by Thursday, to be followed by a further reevaluation on December 15 with regard to the COVID-19 situation (that is much better at present than Macron had forecast at the end of October).
On Thursday, however, when Prime Minister Jean Castex detailed the moderate easing of lockdown rules, he flatly stated that public worship would be restricted to 30 people.
This appears to have served as a wake-up call to the Catholic hierarchy in France. The bishops had gone out of their way to propose “sanitary protocols” for public worship at several meetings with the government, around the 10th and the 20th of November; many of them distanced themselves from public demonstrations all over France these last two Sundays in the name of “preserving dialogue” with the authorities, and they were confident that their voices had been heard by Macron and the government headed by Jean Castex.
“Anger,” “incomprehension,” “humiliation,” and even stronger words flourished on social media as ordinary Catholics protested that they would not obey such “absurd” orders.
Some 45 prayerful demonstrations have taken place all over the country, and a number of open-air Masses have been announced, while pro-Catholic commentators were able to express their exasperation at “ridiculous” and “inapplicable” rules on the mainstream media. The head of the Christian Democrat party VIA, Jean-Frédéric Poisson, launched an appeal to “civil disobedience.”
Bernard Antony, president of the AGRIF (which together with others had obtained the return of public Masses at the end of the first confinement in May), issued a statement noting that the “humiliation” to which they have been submitted has likely encouraged the French bishops to react much more firmly than they had until now. He wrote:
Whatever the result of the summary proceedings filed in this new case, AGRIF invites all its members and all French Catholics to do everything possible to attend Mass in large numbers, peacefully and in compliance with health safety rules. They should oppose, if need be, the force of a non-violent but heavy inertia to interventions of police forces illegitimately instrumentalized for the purpose of anti-Catholic measures inspired by the abject liberticide Jacobinism of the totalitarian governmental atheocracy.
The strongest declaration on the part of the bishops came from Bernard Ginoux, bishop of Montauban, who has very consistently defended the rights of the faithful regarding assistance at Mass from the start of this crisis. In a letter to his clergy and faithful, he wrote:
Dear parish priests, dear parishioners, In the most recent decisions of the government we are obliged to take note of the restrictions concerning public Masses. I deeply regret that the government is refusing to listen to the Catholic Church and other cults and openly ignores what the Eucharist means to us. Limiting, regardless of location, the participation in Mass to 30 faithful is an encroachment on everyone’s freedom. The Second Vatican Council recalls that “free access to the sacraments derives directly from the right to religious liberty” (Declaration on Religious Liberty No. 13), adding that “the Church should enjoy all the freedom of action she needs to watch over the salvation of men.” From the Law of Separation of Church and State (1905) it follows that the government is not permitted to intervene in worship or in its modalities, except in matters of public order. Churches remain open, and the faithful who wish to come to them may do so, without any authority being empowered to establish a ban or to demand that they obtain an authorization to do so. The presence of the faithful in a church is not in itself a public disorder. Consequently, I ask that Masses resume in the diocese at the usual Sunday hours, applying the health protocol in force (Diocesan Circular No. 3), which we have always respected. It is the responsibility of the parish priest or his delegate to ensure that the rules established according to the health protocol are respected. If certain persons (celebrants, liturgical actors, faithful) are fined at the end of the Mass, they should refuse to pay the fine on the spot. I ask that these facts be transmitted to me and I will instruct the lawyer of the diocese to take up these cases. If some of you wish to say an extra Mass on Saturday evening or Sunday, do so provisionally in agreement with your pastoral teams. I charge you with making this message widely known, as I am doing myself in regard to the media. I deeply regret that, in a free country, we should have reached this point. A frightening pandemic does not justify a stranglehold on the Mass. I pray for all of you and I entrust myself to your prayers. At the beginning of this time of Advent I invite you to look at the Virgin Mary, our Mother, the one who gives us the Savior, our Hope.
As such, the French bishops’ conference did not join the widening call to civil disobedience. A statement published on Friday made clear that while the current rules with their 30-person gauge are “neither comprehensible nor acceptable,” “the rules fixed by the Prime Minister are in force even though we are aware of the great difficulties in which these rules place the faithful.”
Individual bishops were less accommodating with the powers that be.
The auxiliary bishop of Versailles, Bruno Valentin, pointed out that in his diocese, priests would have to celebrate twelve Masses per Sunday to reach the necessary 2,100 Masses for all habitually practicing Catholics to be able to attend. “We want to get out of this journey to Absurdistan,” he insisted.
Bishop Marc Aillet of Bayonne told L’Incorrect that he had been “dumbfounded” by Castex’s announcement, because it “called the president’s word into question.” He slammed the “contempt” shown to “millions of believers who are deprived of the essential freedom of worship, as if worship was of no interest at all to society.” Like many of his brother bishops, he questioned the accusation made by Jean Castex saying that places of worship are well-known to favor contagion.
“No study has clarified this, and it seems obvious that no clusters have been identified in our assemblies, which would be easy since the faithful are regular worshippers in our churches and they all know each other. There has never been an identified cluster, so I would like him to show precise, statistical and scientific proof to be able to put forward such an untruth,” added Aillet.
Bishop Dominique Rey of Fréjus-Toulon also condemned the “contempt” of the State towards Catholics, calling the 30-person limit “insulting.”
“Many Christians have been scandalized by this discriminatory measure, which is both unacceptable and unrealistic, and which forces us to selective sorting of the faithful. The inconsistency and injustice of the latest measures is fracturing society by opposing small traders and large stores, theaters and restaurants, essential and non-essential activities.”
Bishop Rey asked his clergy to celebrate several Masses per day and not to concelebrate; he also stated that the faithful of his diocese can accomplish their Sunday obligation on another day of the week. But he also committed to the fact that “no selection, segregation or limitation of the People of God who present themselves in church” will take place. Bishop Rey gave his “personal guarantee” that people who may find themselves in difficulties because of the rules will be under his “protection.”
Echoes to these firm statements came from unexpected quarters. Bishop Delmas of Angers invited his priests to celebrate multiple Masses so as to ensure no more than 30 people took part, but added: “Where that is not possible, priests are not there to count the faithful.”
In Rouen, Bishop Dominique Lebrun said he found the rule “unbelievable.”
“Is there a minister who has considered what a priest should do and say when the 31st participant presents himself at the church? What would a Mass with compulsory reservation mean?” He added that the government is placing the Church — priests and faithful” in an “untenable position.”
During the hearing that took place on Saturday afternoon at the Council of State, the presiding judge repeatedly asked the representative of the government, Mrs. Pascale Léglise (“l’église” means “the church” in French) why the government had retained the rule of 30 participants.
First answer: “When a Mass takes place people don’t sit in the four corners of the church.” Second answer: “Operas are closed, too, even the Opéra Bastille” (a vast modern theater in Paris). Third answer: “I don’t know how they calculated the gauge.”
At the end of the hearing, the presiding judge promised to hand down his decision “a bit late this evening, or a bit early tomorrow morning.”

Let's get to 25000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Remarks attributed to Pope Francis (and, not denied by the Vatican) in support of homosexual civil unions have caused grave scandal to the faithful. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify these heterodox and scandalous remarks on homosexual civil unions, and which will be delivered both to the Vatican and to the Papal Nuncio of the United States (the Pope's official representative in the U.S.). As the last guarantor of the Faith, the Pope should clarify and rectify these remarks, which go against the perennial teaching of the Church, even including the teaching of his living predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. "What we have to create is a law of civil coexistence [meaning civil union law, for homosexuals]...," Pope Francis is reported to have remarked, in what is arguably his clearest statement of public support for a practice morally prohibited by official Catholic Church teaching. In fact, the Church has been crystal clear in Her opposition to homosexual unions. Just in 2003, Pope Saint John Paul II approved a document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, titled 'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons' and written by Cardinal Ratzinger (now, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), which concludes with the following: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself." It could not be more clear: the Church is calling people to repentance, not to be left to indulge in grave sin. Since becoming public, several senior prelates as well as other notable Catholic figures have voiced their opposition to these remarks attributed to the Pontiff. Cardinal Raymond Burke stated: "It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church, as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition." Cardinal Gerhard Müller commented: "Where there is tension between the plain and obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand, and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities on the other, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO [When in doubt, be in favor of God]." And, Catholic theologian and apologist Scott Hahn, without directly quoting Pope Francis, shared on Facebook the 'Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,' published by the CDF in 1986, with the statement: "Holy Father, respectfully and humbly, I beg to differ... if that is indeed what you said. In any case, please clarify and rectify your statement, especially in view of the official teaching of our Lord through the magisterium of His Church." But, the silence from the Vatican has been deafening, with no clarification forthcoming. We must, therefore, ask the Pope for clarification in this serious matter. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify remarks attributed to him in support of homosexual civil unions. FOR MORE INFORMATION: 'Cdl.

Given that tomorrow is Sunday, many Catholics are hoping the government’s decree will be suspended regarding public Masses. At any rate, the fact that the Council of State organized a hearing on Saturday afternoon and that such a prompt decision has been announced, is already a sign that Catholics are being taken seriously by France’s highest administrative court.
