Vatican strips Christchurch Catholic Order of authority amid allegations of exorcism abuse

The Sons Christchurch news

The Vatican has removed the authority of the Christchurch-based Catholic order, the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, following an investigation into unauthorised exorcisms and allegations of spiritual and psychological abuse.

The order, also known as the Transalpine Redemptorists, or simply ‘The Sons’, had previously been authorised to preach the Traditional Latin Mass in Christchurch.

The investigation, initiated by a TV3 investigation, uncovered disturbing practices including tying individuals up during exorcisms, forcing penance rituals, and influencing young followers with extreme beliefs.

As a result, all priests from the order have been stripped of their religious faculties and banned from practicing in the Christchurch diocese.

Key figures in the order, Fathers Michael Mary and Anthony Mary, face allegations of manipulation, control, and unauthorised exorcisms, including on young children.

Despite their denial of any wrongdoing, 17 individuals raised serious concerns during the Vatican’s investigation, which was led by Australian Bishop Robert McGuckin. The Bishop of Christchurch, Michael Gielen told legacy media he has accepted the Vatican’s recommendations, removing the order’s faculties and instructing all professed members to leave the diocese.

  1. In general, the New Zealand church has been conquered by the pedophile satanic death cult, leaving the reborn christian churchless, much the same in all western nations,
    This will change as there is a mass movement of young people becoming reborn, the tide is turning,

    But if the satanic NZ media is targeting this particular group, maybe something to look at further?

    As we know, the NZ church’s have been pathetic cowards accepting and promoting the government tyranny, they all had cult injection mandates, accept for a small handfull speaking out,

  2. The Beast of Revelation 13:11
    “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
    A.k.a Judeo Christianity

  3. Oh well…I wonder if the Catholic-owned ‘Christchurch Frame’ that used to be The Square’ will now come up for sale?
    Or…the Christchurch Cathedral will get the restoration finished now in record time due to non-interference?
    Catholic vs Anglican…both are equally as bad as the other.
    Religion = mind control
    The New World Order consist of;
    Religion Enforcement; Rome.
    Economic Management; The Zionist ‘City of London’.
    Enforcement of the NWO; Washington DC.
    Here in the South Pacific, we should actually be a free and neutral nation that minimises the effects of the above three elements!

  4. They can’t have people exorcising demons after all the hard work done to get them to germinate.
    A lot of time and money has been invested in developing the demonic influence in NZ and we can’t have some independants destroying this new controlling force in our nation and our peoples.
    Everybody knows that ritual sacrifice and satanic ceremonies are only for the high ranking officials of the church and state plus wealthy philanthropaths and cult controlled groups like free masons juciciary and police.
    Thank goodness that the GMO experimental injections will wipe out most of these Church types leaving their properties available for snapping up.
    New Zealand is no longer a Christian nation anyway, and satan has proven very profitable so the switch makes great economic sense. really…
    Live guilt free. and un hindered by social constraints.
    Hello NEW ZIONLAND

  5. Can I point out:

    There is no “authority” of which they have been stripped. To which “authority” do you refer?

    And you say they can’t “preach” the Traditional Latin Mass. What on earth do you mean by that?

  6. The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer have denied that they undertook exorcisms without permission and the Bishop of Christchurch confirmed they were given permission for two exorcisms. The Sons have now started a canonical appeal against Biship Gielen’s decision. He has not even given them a right of reply. Some of the complainants are known to have mental problems and have been trying to close down the chaplaincy for years. This group of priests stood up against the vaccine and joined the march in Wellington.
