“If I did not believe God, I would be convinced that the Catholic Church was about to end.” —Mgr. Joseph C. Fenton on Vatican II, Nov. 23, 1962

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Sorry I have been away for awhile. Too many reasons to list here as to why..... and at the current moment .... there is too much to comment on since so much is happening in the skies, in the Church, in our families, in our world .... but I will choose the destruction of the Catholic Church which is not a new topic nor will it be the last time mentioned.

I want to give the Detoit Diocese as an example of what has happened and is currently happening SINCE VATICAN II and its New Evangelization!  Here is an interview to dissect (listen carefully to his chosen words) and below that a commentary from LifeSite News....evaluation below after you view these!

Restructuring Detroit with Their New Archbishop

LifeSite News Perspective

 OK  hopefully you have viewed these two very depressing videos. The first is an interview of the new Archbishop of Detroit who was placed a little over a year ago when Archbishop Vigneron stepped down, March, 2025. He came from an Arizona diocese where Bishop Wiesenberger was known for the most draconian measures taken in the churches during COVID.  Looks like he is the right man of power for this job of destruction!

I do not have an official number for you but the total amount of parishes in Detroit at the moment number 209 and it is estimated that it will be down to close to 50 by the end of 2027 or earlier. The Archdiocese is publishing financial and demographic workbooks for each of its parishes online, ahead of area listening sessions to get community feedback.

"I promise you there is no set plan; if there was, we wouldn't be doing all of this work. But we are committed to that transparency, and we're committed to a process that engages every person that wants to be involved," said Fr. Mario Amore who is the executive director of parish renewal for the Archdiocese, the department behind the restructuring process.

I believe that all of this waste of time of analysis is a front to make it look like they DID NOT HAVE A PLAN.....but in reality DID.  Too cruel to just take the ax to it!

He began in March 2025 and went right to work with his destruction of the Diocese by firing three influential professors in August, (five months in). Archbishop Edward Weisenburger was accused of breaking several institutional policies and even civil law in his abrupt firings of three renowned and faithful professors from Sacred Heart Seminary.

Weisenburger also came under fire in June 2025 (3 months in) for promulgating a new liturgical policy which significantly reduced the numbers of Traditional Latin Mass offerings in the Archdiocese.

While the archbishop said he was simply implementing Tradiitionis Custodes, issued by Pope Francis in 2020, he went much further and prohibited ad orientem in the Novus Ordo form of the Mass as well.

In April, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski called the changes “by far the bloodiest reduction I am aware of since TC came into force almost four years ago.” And upon their implementation he has noted that the affected parishes were “powerhouses” sustained by thriving traditional communities and warned that the closures would cause “long-term damage to parishes.”

Soooo, this is just one diocese of many in the US and in the world which are going to sustain tremendous reductions in parishes and priests. Notice that in the interview Archbishop Wiesenberger uses such twisted language to make this look like a good thing when it is almost a complete obliteration of the life of the Detroit Catholic Community. How many parishes will be in Detroit in 5-10 years time? Hopefully, God will intervene before that time comes.... chastisement maybe for us all???

I know my children's generation have fallen away from the Church in a huge way since COVID. There is not only a lack of priests but no parishioners that want the Sacraments. In the interview with Archbishop Wiesenberger, he talks about Catholics turning to the internet instead of going to Mass for "community". WHAT! He was one of the VERY guilty ones telling Catholics to STAY HOME during COVID and not go to Mass. We better pray for this man's soul and all those guilty of destroying the little faith that was in Catholics before COVID. My own children except one have not gone back to Mass since the COVID restrictions. I know that can not be the only reason for them to stay away.....I am saddened that they are now secular humanists who got college degrees and now look at believing in any religion as ridiculous. I pray for this generation that have witnessed SO MANY SCANDALS and SO MANY PROMOTED HERESIES OUT OF ROME ITSELF!

I am not a regular on "Novus Ordo Watch" website but here is a link to information of a very amazing hero during the Vatican II Council....Msgr. Joseph Fenton. 

Monsignor Joseph Clifford Fenton was a priest of the diocese of Springfield, Massachusetts, ordained in 1930. He taught at the Catholic University of America and served as editor of the American Ecclesiastical Review from 1943-1963. In 1931, he received his doctorate degree in Sacred Theology from the Angelicum in Rome. His dissertation was written under the direction of Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. (d. 1964) and was published in expanded form ten years later as The Concept of Sacred Theology (Bruce Publishing).

​Of greatest interest to most, of course, will be what Fenton wrote about his struggles against the Modernists during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII, when a lot of errors were being fought that later resurfaced at Vatican II, and about the council itself and the theological discussions that took place behind the scenes. Fenton had a direct connection with Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani at the Vatican, which gave him much more influence than other theologians had, and also more inside information.

One example of a diary quote from the below link is.............

• “The sense or feeling of this gathering seems to be entirely liberal. I am anxious to get home. I am afraid that there is nothing at all that I can do here. Being in the council is, of course, the great experience of my life. But, at the same time, it has been a frightful disappointment. I never thought that the episcopate was so liberal. This is going to mark the end of the Catholic religion as we have known it. There will be vernacular Masses, and, worse still, there will be some wretched theology in the constitutions.” (Oct. 31, 1962)

Msgr. Joseph Fenton died of a heart attack in his sleep on July 7, 1969, less than 5 months before Paul VI’s imposition of the Novus Ordo Missae as the liturgical norm in the Latin rite. The last diary entry is dated March 27, 1969. His death reminds me of the sudden death of Pope St. Pius X when it was revealed to him theat WWI had just started.....he too died of a broken heart! May he rest in peace.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
Msgr. Fenton, pray for us!
​All ye holy priests of Heaven, pray for us!
