Priestly Ordinations for 'Heralds of the Gospel' Unblocked After Years of Suspension

 

The Heralds were right to choose Fernando José Monteiro Guimarães and Raymundo Damasceno Assis, since they were not elevated as archbishops by the false Pope Francis nor the current one; otherwise, the ordinations would be invalid.

The Heralds of the Gospel announced on April 5 in São Paulo that priestly ordinations will resume in April 2026, following a suspension in place since 2019.

31 acolytes will be ordained as deacons on April 11 and 26 deacons to the priesthood on April 12.

The ordinations concern members of the clerical society of apostolic life Virgo Flos Carmeli, which is associated with the Heralds of the Gospel.

The diaconal ordinations will be conferred by Fernando José Monteiro Guimarães, archbishop emeritus of the Military Ordinariate of Brazil. The priestly ordinations will be presided over by Raymundo Damasceno Assis, archbishop emeritus of Aparecida and Pontifical Commissioner.

Ordinations within the Heralds had been suspended following a Vatican intervention that began in 2017 and was reinforced in 2019 with the appointment of a Pontifical Commissioner.

During this period, candidates for ordination remained in a state of waiting, and no formal public accusations or clear timeline for resolution were communicated.

The intervention involved the Vatican Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life, under the leadership of Simona Brambilla and previously Cardinal João Braz de Aviz.
