Opinions/Editorials Title: Priest proposes three steps for breaking free from COVID’s stranglehold on society Fr. James Mawdsley joins a list of priests who advocate for conscience rights in light of COVID measures. (LifeSiteNews) – A priest released a video on Wednesday that used Catholic principles to overcome tyrannical COVID measures. Fr. James Mawdsley’s video at The Remnant TV, which was removed from YouTube on Feb. 10, explained three steps to overcome the measures put in place to fight COVID-19. Speaking about the use of masks, Mawdsley said, “If you understand it is irrational to wear a mask in your car, or anywhere outdoors, or even indoors, then you cannot do it. If someone is afraid and thinks that a mask is part of the solution, then nobody’s gonna give them a hard time for wearing it. But it is not charity to feed a mental illness,” Mawdsley said. “Wearing a mask is not without cost. It reinforces a narrative of fear, of desperation, and worse, it’s a sign of subjugation. None of which is charity.” The second step described by Mawdsley is not to compel others to comply with mandates. “Tyrants absolutely depend upon layers in the population inflicting control on layers beneath them,” Mawdsley explained, adding that all a tyrant needs for compliance is the compliance of a few, who in turn would make others comply with them. “The more people who refuse to comply and refuse to compel, the easier it becomes for those up the hierarchy to refuse as well,” Mawdsley said. “The resistance begins below. If it is strong below, then those in the middle layers will not stand out for failure to impose the ideology.” The third step Mawdsley outlined is to foster devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Encouraging viewers to pray the rosary every day, Mawdsley explained that “the Blessed Virgin Mary will give clarity, courage, and will open doors.” Stating that the devil wishes that people give in to hatred or despair over COVID measures, Mawdsley declared that Mary protects them. Mawdsley also said that people must be ready to pay a price for defense of the truth. “No creature paid a higher price than Mary,” he said. “Seeing her Son die was more painful to Mary than dying herself.” “If we become like Mary,” Mawdsley continued, “we will be ready to pay any price. But we can start simply by praying the rosary.” Mawdsley appeared in the news earlier this month when he left the Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) over Pope Francis’ motu proprio Traditionis Custodes, claiming that the suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) was an act of sacrilege. He also served 14 months in prison in a Burmese prison for protesting the Burmese government’s human rights abuses. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread |
