Sinister Uses For Synodality

Chris Ferarra released a piece a few days ago that I believe details nicely the purpose that Pope Francis seems to have for all these "sin-nod" gab-fests.  I too have believed that these things are nothing short of expensive smoke-and-mirror gimmicks designed to get us to swallow the latest insults to Faith and Tradition.  To his list I might have added the pre-sinnod "listening sessions" along with all sorts of dissidents brought in for "preparatory meetings".  Anyway, the pope might as well save the Church a few million dollars and dispense with these dog-and-pony shows and just go about slashing and burning the Teachings of Our Lord Himself.  But I suppose there really are some people who allow themselves to get snookered by all the artificial hoopla.  We see similar conclusions drawn by LifeSiteNews.

I will now post a discussion by Robert Royal and the "papal posse's" thoughts just at the conclusion of the sin-nod.

Youth Sin-Nod Gives Nod To The Mortal Sin Of Sodomy

In the most recent issue of Crisis magazine, we see an article entitled, "Is The Youth Synod's Final Document Already Written?"  I've got to assume that this question is merely rhetorical, for given the Vatican's behavior with the family sin-nod (the one that produced Amoralis Lamentia) we knew from the get-go that it was probably written long before the first attendees landed at the local airport.

We got a hint of that when Book Thief Baldy lied about the letters "LGBT" being included in a pre-synod document.  They weren't but he thought it was a handy excuse to include them in the Instrumentum Laboris.  When called on his lie, he just shrugged his shoulders and said that the acronym would remain.  With that he also confirmed the suspicions of many faithful Catholics - that this gabfest is all about trying to make sodomy seem acceptable to the gullible Catholic in the pews.

It's worth pointing out here that one of the sin-nod's discussion groups took the occasion to trash-talk Catholic home schooling.  Folks, let's cut to the chase.  The progressives in the Church fear home schooling for they know that home-schooled children stand an excellent chance of learning the authentic Catholic faith.  These young people will then be able to see through their lies and shams and reject them for what they are.  Of course those lies include the acceptance of the mortal sins of sodomy and other related perversions.

The Vortex's take on the matter....

Sin-Nod On How To Spiritually Murder Our Youth

This so-called "youth synod", more accurately a sin-nod, is showing how literally hell-bent some of our prelates are to brainwash young people (and anyone else) into normalizing the mortal sins of homosexual conduct.  They are becoming more and more brazen about it.

The first ominous signs appeared in the sin-nod's Instrumentum Laboris; I touched on just a few of them here.  Archbishop Chaput pointed out another glaring fault when he noticed the phrase "LGBT youths" in paragraph 197 of the document.  He rightly stated that it is inherently unhealthy for Catholics to define themselves according to sexuality.  I'd add that it is doubly dangerous to define oneself in terms of inherently disordered traits.  What might one say to someone who claims to be a "murderous Catholic"?  Most of us would do a double-take, I daresay.  When LifeSiteNews called out "Bookthief Baldy" on the matter, he tried to claim that the phrase came from a pre-synodal document composed by young people.  LifeSiteNews called him out on the lie (politely, of course).  In other words, Baldy et al inserted that phrase themselves, pretending that they were "listening to and accompanying" the young people.

One of the small groups took up the mantle of gay-shilling, led by Cardinal Maradiaga.  In addition to being another flagrant progressive, he is also de facto leader of the "gang of nine" AND embroiled in some homosexual scandals of his own in Honduras.  They want the Church to "pay more attention to homosexuals" and the "realities they face", such as "marriage and surrogate pregnancy".  This group makes no mention whatsoever of the reality of eternal damnation that looms on the horizon for any practicing sodomite who doesn't repent and make a good confession before he or she dies and is called to his/her particular judgment.

We also heard from a "youth delegate" from Chile who claims to have listened to Catholic and non-Christian youth.  Using the excuse that she heard more from the non-Christians, she completely omitted the input that she received from Catholic youth, as though they should have no voice at all.  The woman's name is Silvia Teresa Morales.  She claims that homosexuals "live their faith within the church".  Big problem!  If people are defining themselves as homosexuals (or racists, or murderers, etc), they most likely are giving way to their disordered drives.  Therefore, they are NOT living their faith.  They have the same rights as all Catholics: to repent of their sins, confess their sins.  No one has the "right" to flaunt their mortal sins and thumb their noses at God Himself.

Some voices of sanity and decency still remain in the Church hierarchy.  In addition to Archbishop Chaput, Cardinal Sarah spoke out, stating quite plainly that the watering down of Church teaching will not attract young people (or older ones, for that matter).  He said correctly that they want clarity

But wait a minute!  It appears that the pope is once again railing at those of us who do hold onto the crystal-clear teachings of Jesus Christ and refuse to let them be obscured by all this "accompanying" jibber-jabber.  Yesterday during his Mass he lambasted us "rigid" Christians.  Again, this is talk specifically designed to shut us up.  One of the sin-nod's small groups took a swipe at Catholic parents who home-school their children.  They fear that these parents might have an "ideological basis".  Well, if they mean that the parents intend to pass on the unadulterated Faith to their children, as they are called by God to do so, maybe that can be called "ideological" but that is by no means to be interpreted in a pejorative manner.

So it appears that this youth sin-nod does have a theme, doesn't it?  It's about contradicting the clear commands of Our Lord with regards to homosexuality, affirming perverts in their mortal sins and making it more likely they'll find themselves in hell.  Why else would the pope wear this?  He's both promoting the gay ideology and profaning the Cross of Jesus Christ.  Please continue with your rosaries by all means.

More Vomit From The Youth Sin-Nod

What else can be expected when it starts off with the pope carrying a wiccan stang into the opening Mass?  I just started to glance at the Instrumentum Laboris and that promises to be a stinker, too.

At this thing, the attendees were put into fourteen groups for discussion, all led by prelates.  Cardinal Cupich led one, Cardinal Maradiaga another.  Right there you can see the rigging in the works.  Cupich's group allegedly called for "recognition of other forms of family".  Stop right there.  A family comes about when a biologically born man and a biologically born woman enter into matrimony and beget/raise children.  Not two men, not two women, not self-mutilated people or any other permutation, pretenses and delusions notwithstanding.  So why might I think that Cupich might have forced that conclusion?  Well, let's examine the following facts about his Archdiocese of Chicago.

Father Rigoberto Gamez of St Aloysius parish has recently been charged with several instances of sexual battery.  He is now ordered to wear a monitoring bracelet.  Currently he is Associate Vicar for Canonical Affairs for the Chicago archdiocese.  Will he retain that position and his parish assignment?

Father Michael Guimon of the Friars Servants of Mary is head of the priory at Our Lady of Sorrows National Basilica in Chicago.  Within that priory he hosts what are essentially gay hook-up meetings and he is a "gay masseur".  In other words, he has turned the basilica into a sodomite orgy den, profaning that sacred place with filthy abominations.

Will Cupich laicize these two?  Who knows?  We do know he has the long knives out for Father Kalchik who is still in hiding lest he be dragged to St Luke's because his parishioners burned a gay flag.  This is the sort of prelate who has been given a key role in this sin-nod.

I post now a video from Remnant TV showing a rather raucous performance by young people, with prelates obviously enjoying it.  One commenter wrote that he noticed just how much the bishops were enjoying seeing young men gyrate and prance about.  Sadly he's probably correct.   See for yourselves and keep praying.

Youth Synod's Instrumentum Laboris - A Disaster At First Glance

After last week's extremely inauspicious beginning, we had to expect more mess to come from the "youth synod".  Indeed it has.  We can see it in the Instrumentum Laboris.  I won't have time this evening to do an exhaustive study, but will point out some glaring departures from the Faith, ones that can only be overlooked by the obstinately blind.

The first few sections list all manners of "concerns" facing young people, whether imaginary or fancied.  However, all these concerns were those of this life.  Nowhere was there mention of mankind's ultimate destiny.  Nowhere was there mention of God's purpose for our lives.  While they ostensibly are kvetching about the need to reach young people and how the Church can be relevant, the bishops refuse to acknowledge Jesus Christ's reason for establishing the Church: to save souls.  That is the ultimate concern and goal of everyone - young and old.  The Church's primary and overarching mission is to guide people to heaven.

As I read this document, it seems that whoever wrote it is hell-bent on doing the precise opposite.

Look at section 16 under "life choices".  I'll quote: "Crucial moments for the development of our identity include: deciding our course of study, choosing our profession, deciding our beliefs, discovering our sexuality and making life-changing commitments."

Do we have here an attempt to insinuate acceptance of the gay lifestyle?  "Discovering sexuality" is not a choice as is "profession" and "course of studies".  One is born male or female.  One acknowledges that, or one sins against truth.  With that, there is no choice among several morally acceptable options, as with the others.  Whoever allowed that to be published deserves many rebukes - even if he sits on Peter's chair.

I will examine this thing more closely soon.  Meanwhile, here's an analysis from Crisis.  Suffice it to say that if this is a harbinger of the guidance that our young people can expect, their chances of eternal salvation are greatly imperiled and parents must be extra vigilant.
