Father Sixto Eduardo Varela Santamaria, recently the Chancellor of the Diocese of Alajuela, has been suspended and sent for a psychological assessment for the offering of the Holy Mass according to the Missal of Paul VI as it was intended, in Latin and "ad orientem." Father Varela Santamaria was offering the Vetus Ordo for the faithful until ordered to stop in a unanimous action by all of Costa Rica's bishops.
Between the actions of bishops such as the one from this diocese on one hand and that of our governments now threatening employment and preventing the ability to buy food on the other, is there any doubt that we are under a spiritual crisis never seen before in history?
God is our strength. We have no other.
