The news shocked the whole Catholic world today -- decades after the arrests of Cardinals by Communist regimes, a situation all thought would remain in the past, the 90-year-old Cardinal Joseph Zen, Bishop Emeritus of Hong Kong and a huge friend of the Traditional Mass, was arrested today by the Communists currently yielding power in the former British colony. We tweeted it as soon as it became public, about 4 hours ago:

De Mattei: The Catholic Resistance has made itself heard

February 20, 2019
According to the
traditional calendar, the first Tuesday after Septuagesima - this year falling
on February 19 - is dedicated to the Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane,
which is perhaps the most painful [moment] of His Passion, of spiritual not
physical suffering, culminating in the sweating of His blood. (Luke, 22,
43-44).
One of the principal
reasons for His sufferings was His vision of unfaithfulness - not only in The
Chosen People - but in all those during the centuries to come,
who would guide the Church, founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Quae utilitas in
sanguine meo?
(Psalm,29,10). This agonizing question penetrated
His Heart and needs to penetrate ours, like a sharp sword. God responded that
every act of unfaithfulness, every apostasy, every sacrilege which passed
through the centuries, was permitted so that the purity of doctrine and life
would shine with even greater splendor in those, who, throughout the course of the centuries had picked up and held high the
blood-stained-banner of the Cross, opposing that of the followers of Lucifer.
De Mattei - Forty years against life: from abortion to euthanasia (1978-2017)

The Renzi-Gentiloni
governments will go down in history as those that imposed two of the most wicked
laws in the Italian Republic: pseudo-homosexual-marriage, called “Civil Unions”
(May 20th 2016) and euthanasia, under the name of the “living will" or DAT (Dichiarazione anticipata di
trattamento [Declaration Advance of Treatment]), approved definitively by
the Senate on December 14th 2017. This law will be registered in the
Official Journal on the fortieth anniversary of the legalization of abortion, which passed on May 22, 1978 with Law
194. Thus the circle closes.
