Swiss Bishop’s Response to Tragedy Reveals Modernist Apostasy
VaticanNews portal reports on “Bp.” Jean-Marie Lovey of Sion, Switzerland, commemorating victims of a January 1 fire in Crans-Montana that killed over 40 people. The prelate celebrated what he termed a “Eucharistic celebration” with 400 attendees, joined by Protestant leaders, before participants laid flowers at the disaster site. Lovey emphasized “shared presence” as the Church’s primary response, describing this as “the very being of God” while omitting any mention of the Mass’s propitiatory value, the necessity of prayer for the dead, or the Four Last Things. His concluding message reduced Christian hope to vacuous sentiment: “families must believe in the possibility of light” without reference to Christ’s Sacrifice or the Church’s mediation.
