The priest authoring the blog “Southern Orders” watched enough of the Saint Patrick’s sacrilege funeral video to determine that Dougherty, the Maryknoll priest who “presided” over the event, is responsible for allowing the evil desecration to continue, whether or not he had any role beforehand.
As I suspected, the Cathedral indeed assigned a staff member, perhaps clergy, to be present who was coaching Dougherty as the event unfolded but who was also rebuffed by Dougherty when he tried to intervene to prevent further sacrilege as the transgender political activist stunt spiraled out of control. The primary intervention appears to be that, as the blogger writes, what perhaps started out as a Mass was changed midstream into a liturgy “outside of Mass”, that is, with Scripture, prayers and remarks but without celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
This priest is the enemy inside the gates. If he is allowed to return then not only does he have a problem, Saint Patrick’s does as well. This may be a suspending offense but I’m not an expert in canon law. Seems to me some disciplining of the priest would be in order, though. Dangerous precedent if he is not.
Remember this follows another event in nearby Brooklyn where a half-dressed woman brought a crew inside a Catholic church and recorded a music video as a stunt to promote what clearly involves no talent on her part.
From Southern Orders blog:
FROM A FUNERAL MASS TO A FUNERAL LITURGY OUTSIDE OF MASS AND HOW THE DECISION TOOK PLACE
I watched the beginning of the Funeral Liturgy Scandal again. The priest, who Cardinal Dolan should hold responsible for the sacrilege and blasphemy in his cathedral, is dressed in a Chasuble which is used solely for a Mass, not a Liturgy outside of Mass. Outside of Mass a cope may be used, or cassock, surplice and stole or alb and stole.
After blessing the body of the deceased at the entrance of the Cathedral, the procession arrives at the altar. A priest wearing a cassock but with his surplice off and over his arm, speaks to the priest whose microphone is on. This priest, who may be the rector, I am not sure, says to him that this is not going to be a Mass but rather the Liturgy outside of Mass.
Thus the decision to change it from a Mass to a Liturgy outside of Mass was done after the Liturgy began, not before.
I can’t watch the full liturgy as it turns my stomach, but when it is time for the eulogies to take place, the same priest, perhaps the rector, is miffed about the eulogies and tries to intervene, but the celebrant priest, who should be disciplined by the Cardinal, waves him off and more sacrilege/desecration takes place in the sanctuary publicly videoed for all to see and hear.
God help us.
The Church is a hospital, but the mentally and physically ill should not run the institution, they should be treated, restrained if necessary and given bitter medicine which will help them in the long run. They should receive treatment, to include discipline and sedation if needed. They should not run the Church, I mean the hospital, or overrun it!
The Church, which is a “hospital” for the mortally sinful and spiritually dying, cannot be run by those whose sinfulness is highly contagious and corrupts the healthy if they aren’t quarantined. They can’t take over a sterile environment meant to cure their contagious and thus compromise the treatment the Church offers, which is God’s grace that convicts us of our diseased sinfulness and enables us to repent and believe God, not our own sick truth.
God help us!

Today my prayer group prayed in reparation to God for the sacrilege at St. Patrick's. Another reason to embrace the Holy Face devotion which is a counter to blasphemy and sacrilege as well as communism and the profanation of Sundays and holy Days.
ReplyDeleteIt is not credible that the ADNY didn't know who Cecilia Gentili was and that everyone and anyone can be buried at St. Patrick's Cathedral just by requesting it--especially when the funeral is being covered by NYT, Vogue and Time Magazine.
ReplyDeleteWell Cdl Dolan says bravo to the priest, hes a "hero". The decision to change it to a funeral Mass was the saving grace, as to have the Holy Eucharist at this event would be an abomination, the deceased was an atheist. Why a church event then, and who okayed it. Slipshod. Monkeys run rhe church, always oversights when monkeys run things.
