20-7. Cardinal Cupich Reprimands Faithful Chicago Priest who Criticized Mass Restrictions, Suggests He Violated Canon Law...
“I hear all cries of peace, peace, and security, going throughout your world, My children. But there is no peace, there is no security. And your country, the United States of America, the great eagle has been plucked by satan and his agents. You see lying now before you a majestic eagle, the once proud symbol of America, fallen because of paganism and sin.
“It is known through history that once a country has given itself over to all manner of paganism and sin, it is not long before that country falls into a system of dictatorship, bringing great sorrow, even murder to the masses.”
- The Bayside Prophecies
Jesus, May 26, 1979
“My children, you will all recognize the faces of evil. Satan has entered into the highest ranks of My Church. Pray now for your priests: your bishops, your cardinals, your clergy. Many prayers are needed, for many are on, now, the road to perdition and taking many others with them.”
- The Bayside Prophecies
Jesus, July 15, 1977
“There will be many mitres in hell. Many priests are on the road to damnation; with them they take others. For this, the lowest pit of the abyss will be eternity! Those entrusted in My Son's House will be held accountable for the fall of young souls. Your rank will be no guarantee of your entrance into the Kingdom. You have betrayed My Son. How dare you sell His House! You have sold My Son's House for the profit of your temporary lifetime!”

A well-known Chicago priest has been sternly reprimanded by Cardinal Blase Cupich after he wrote a letter to the prelate criticizing the decision to prohibit saying Mass facing east and noting how faithful Catholics are “cruelly demoralized” by persecution from Church authorities.
Father Anthony Buś, C.R, of Chicago’s St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, has been seemingly ordered into a 10-day private retreat after earning the rebuke of Cupich who suggested the priest was publicly inciting “animosities or hatred against the Apostolic See or an ordinary,” due to his request to celebrate Mass ad orientem.
The rebuke came after a series of letter between the Archdiocese of Chicago and the priest, who has been described as “one of the hardest working priests in Chicago.”
Fr. Buś complies with Cupich’s orders, laments Pope’s ‘chiding’ of faithful Catholics
In light of Cardinal Cupich’s new restrictions on the Mass, Buś initially wrote December 15, 2021 to Chicago’s Auxiliary Bishop Robert Lombardo, asking for permission to continue to say Mass “ad orientem,” in line with the Catholic Church’s “General Instruction of the Roman Missal.”
Such a practice “has transformed my priesthood immensely and has been transformative for those who find here all those wonderful places of encounter with the Lord as written about in Sacred Scripture,” Buś wrote. Fr. Buś has previously defended and explained the practice of celebrating Mass in this manner on the parish website.
His request to continue saying Mass thus was refused by Cupich, and in a second letter dated January 13, Buś clearly stated he would obey the order: “I will comply with his directive that this is forbidden in his Archdiocese.”
The priest, who hosts a popular daily radio show, also critiqued Cupich’s outlawing of Mass ad orientem. “Even so, the Archbishop does not provide evidence that ‘Ad Orientem’ was abrogated at the Second Vatican Council,” Buś wrote.
“As I read Sacrosanctum Concilium and the Roman Missal, the implication is ‘Ad Orientem’ was not abolished or prohibited — on the contrary.”
Buś slated those who had a “glorious time after the Council, taking liberties to ‘change the face of the Church.’”
He referenced the “constant chiding” of Pope Francis toward Catholics who want to “remain in solidarity with our ancestors who heroically and courageously defended the faith in times of persecution,” and how such Catholics are being “cruelly demoralized — thrown into confusion, which is something the Pope admittedly takes joy in, and are purposefully being pushed to the fringe.”
“I don’t mean to be offensive, but my words come from a place of having been offended over and over again for far too long,” Buś lamented. “I speak for many because I listen to many who are away from the faith or trying hard to hold to the faith.”
Accused of inciting unrest in the Church
Following the two letters, which were published on the parish website and elsewhere, Fr. Buś was reportedly summoned to meet with Cupich on January 17, and hours later posted a new letter online that replaced his original. In the new letter, Buś expressed his “deep-felt sorrow” that his January 13 letter was “interpreted by social media as though I was being unjustly critical of, disrespectful to, or lambasting the Holy Father, the Cardinal Archbishop of Chicago or Bishop Lombardo.”
Buś wrote: “As was stated to me, the letter verges on a violation of Canon 1373: ‘A person who publicly incites among subjects, animosities or hatred against the Apostolic See or an ordinary because of some act of power or ecclesiastical ministry or provokes subjects to disobey them is to be punished by an interdict or other just penalties.’”
Buś further noted how he had been accused by the Archdiocese of possibly violating Canon 1369, suggesting that he “utters blasphemy, gravely injures good morals, expresses insults, or excites hatred or contempt against religion or the Church.”
Buś reiterated that he had no intent of violation either aspects of Canon Law, and simply “wrote for love of the Church to whom I’ve given my life. I have always acted for love of God and I have the deepest regard for the Papacy and the Prelates of the Church.”
“As a priest, I am bound to the Lord in service to His Mystical Body,” he added. “As a priest, as with all popes, prelates, priests, and deacons, I am not above challenge.”
Reaffirming his “high regard” for the documents of the Second Vatican Council – which he had originally quoted when defending the practice of Mass ad orientem – Buś does not wish for “any further division in the Church.”
“I do, however, feel the Body of Christ is broken and I felt before Almighty God and the Blessed Virgin Mary, I had acted in a manner to assist in its healing,” he added.
He announced that he will now spend 10 days in retreat to “reflect on my priesthood.”
“I will be praying for all of you and the Church Universal,” Buś closed. “I will always safeguard the peace and tranquility of our worship here at St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish – the people entrusted to my care and whom I love dearly.”
LifeSiteNews contacted the Archdiocese of Chicago for further comment but received no answer.
The faithful priest was defended by Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, who criticized Fr. Buś’ punishment, and stated he saw “nothing disrespectful” in either the “tone or in his actual words.”
Strickland was echoed by Crisis Magazine as well as Deacon Nick Donnelly, but somewhat predictably attacked by pro-LGBT dissident Jesuit Fr. James Martin.
“My children, no country now shall be free from the evils of communism. My heart is torn, for I have come to you in countless appearances upon earth to warn you as Our children to avoid compromise with the enemies of God, though they come to you with smooth tongues, rationalizing their behavior. And because man has fallen out of grace, he will accept these lies and become enslaved.”

Our Lady of the Roses, May 13, 1978
“Bishops and cardinals in My Son’s Church, you have fallen asleep. You go about with your heads in the clouds, dusty clouds, dark clouds that blind you. Awaken from your slumber while there is time. The time is growing short. How many earth-years do I come to you to warn you? You cannot hide the truth now, My children and My pastors. It is too late. The time of the Apocalypse is upon you; your days are numbered. You must save now your soul and the souls of all under your care. Convert the unbeliever while there is time.”
- The Bayside Prophecies
Our Lady of the Roses, May 30, 1978
“The judgment of your God is not akin to the judgment of man. The Eternal Father will only judge by the heart. Your rank, your accumulation of worldly goods does not set you up before another. Many have sold their souls within the holy House of God. Better that you strip yourself and remove all worldly interests now while you have the time to make amends to your God, for many mitres will fall into hell.”

St. Thomas Aquinas, August 21, 1972
