Synodal Dumpster Fire

Incredulity at the diabolical Synod process grows.

Odious sycophantic Cardinal Grech spouts banalities.

What "spirit" is he referring to because it doesn't seem to be the Holy Spirit! Is he seriously suggesting that the "fruit of the council" is to change the faith? I just can't believe Mario Grech - the notorious bully & abuse cover up artist from the tiny island of Gozo (where I usually holiday with my family) is now in charge of the tautologous utter disaster that is the synod on synodality. But at least shining a light on this moron shows the world how thick he is, and I'm not the only person who is noticing!

Despite the obviousness of Grech's sophistry: Papal tailgaters wax lyrical about "dialogue" & "inclusion". One has to wonder if they are deliberately misleading people or they are just so thick themselves they can't see how thick Grech is?

And the Vatican posts pictures attacking literally everything Catholic. This, apparently, is "dialogue".

It's like the Vatican is in full self-destruct mode. Pope Francis has been made head of an organisation he appears to hate. The Vatican under Francis is anti-clarity, anti-facts, anti-doctrine schizophrenic mess and it is good to hear other Catholics from another country agree with all these conclusions.

Arroyo nails it!

This synodal process cannot be an authentic version of the “sensus fidelium,” when the participation rate in many regions has been around or even below 1% of local Catholics, and has often lacked demographic and viewpoint diversity. More importantly an authentically synodal process cannot lead to the contradiction of perennial Church teaching, but must be coherent with the faith.

The synthesis is replete with pre-ordained mantras - the result speaks to the plan in place before the questions were even asked.

Discernment and dialogue can't change truth. But things happen at synods which are unpredictable. 

Grech's odium is revealed in technicolour: he pits doctrine against God's ongoing encounter with man. His comments are astonishing from a Cardinal: the Church teaches based on Scripture but Grech's comments imply a time-conditioned attitude to what is and isn't God's word...His comments simply diminish Scripture. The man is an idiot. This process is at best a complete waste of time and at worst a total disaster.

The Problem is the Bishops - Dr Janet Smith.

  Dr Janet Smith is a true gift to the Church. She is an American classicist and philosopher, and former professor of moral theology at the Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan. She is now retired and works helping victims of the sex abuse crisis where she does amazing work. It's my great pleasure to count her among my friends and I can assure you she loves Jesus and His Church with an incredible depth and honesty. She is wonderful company especially in that she is as sharp as a tack but also extremely warm and funny. This is a talk she gave recently at the Coalition for Cancelled Priests Conference at the end of June in Chicago. It's a must listen talk if you want to know the painful reality of the corruption in the Catholic hierarchy, corruption of all kinds, sexual, financial and spiritual/ theological. Having defended the Church during the paedophile crisis she was devastated when, after the Dallas Charter, the McCarrick scandal broke. She addresses the critici

Real Life Catholics on BBC TV defend Church Teaching on Contraception.

Image
This morning on BBC TV Sunday Morning Live there was a good debate inspired by Melinda Gates (who identifies as Catholic) comments about the pope potentially changing doctrine on contraception. The Catholic contributors were Fr Paddy McCafferty, Clare Short and Obianuju Ekeocha. I think they did really well. Uju's direction is very interesting and easily wrong foots those who want to impose western ideas of morality on Africans in an imperialistic way. Interesting that the presenter agrees with her on this. Fr Paddy gave a great account of his experience as a priest. He was compassionate, realistic and honest, while upholding the value and importance of the doctrine. Clare said she had experience of both ways and the Catholic way is better by far. I thought that was awesome! I especially liked her focus on equality and bringing the responsibility of both husband & wife into the discussion. Watch out for the bit where the other lady says "Pope Francis has ind

New Head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith

Image
I can hardly bring myself to write about yesterday's announcement that Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernández to be the new head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith replacing Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. (now 79) who was previously the secretary to Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller. Fernández is certainly one of the Pope's men, his whole career has been crafted and guided by Jorge Bergoglio. He headed the Faculty of Theology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (CUA) and then on December 15, 2009, the then Cardinal Bergoglio appointed Fernandez as rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. However, much to the frustration of Cardinal Bergoglio, Fernandez was not able to take the oath of office until May 20, 2011, after he had answered objections to his appointment raised by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which assessed concerns about the orthodoxy of certain elements of his scholarship
