Stacked Deck

When the Pope is a complete bum, what are faithful Catholics to do?  Speak out continually about what an evil farce this is, and appeal to God.

May God depose and anathematize that worthless useless heretical Marxist Peronist Caudillo from Argentina! And may all the homo-erotic liberal progressive social justice environmentalist clerics follow him into permanent exile! That’s my prayer.

That’s my prayer.

LQC. I couldn’t agree more with your comments. Unfortunately, it’s going to get worse, much worse. These people deny that the abuse scandal was and continues to be a predatory homo issue. Until that filth is removed from the priesthood at all levels, nothing will change. Already over $4 billion paid out for homo abuse claims just in the US. Think about how that money could have been used.

GOD’S KINGDOM ON EARTH
When Jesus Christ redeemed the world, all creation, Christ ascended into heaven to present the redeemed creation to His Father.
Jesus Christ’s Father in heaven accepted the redeemed creation and it became God’s kingdom on earth, in heaven and under the earth.
Jesus Christ crucified asked God, His Father in heaven to “forgive them for they know not what they do.” When Jesus Christ ascended into heaven to present redeemed creation to His Father, Christ received the forgiveness for man for which He prayed.
Now, the kingdom of God is at hand in the present moment and in all creation. Therefore those who settle for less than the Truth have less than nothing.
There is no “union” of same sex couples. They are not even a “couple”. Sodomy is as close to the marital act as the colon is to the unterus.
Pornography is adultery of the mind. Adultery of the heart is a subtraction of love. Adultery of the body is a damnation of the body, heart and mind.
The chaste love of man and woman is true joy. Chastity in physical love by man and woman is heaven on earth, God’s kingdom.

It’s disturbing how so many of the protégés of disgraced ex-Cardinal McCarrick are tapped to participate in this sham ‘synod’.

Cardinal Kevin Farrell will be there in his capacity as Prefect of the Dicastry for Family, Laity and Life.
Farrell used to be McCarrick’s Auxiliary Bishop in DC, and the two men shared an apartment. +Farrell claims to have never had the least inkling of McCarrick’s crimes in all their time together…

Cardinals Cupich, McElroy and Tobin are all also protégés of ex-Cardinal McCarrick— and all ran interference for him when he was accused, and were “shocked shocked I say” when irrefutable evidence of McCarrick’s years of predation went public.

This list of synod participants is a rogue’s gallery, and the synod itself is guaranteed to be grotesque.

I was surprised to see Bishop Rhoades name on the list of attendees. He was bishop for the Harrisburg diocese some years ago, and I thought a liturgical conservative. He moved to South Bend (i.e. Notre Dame) some 10 years or so ago. Maybe the academic influence is corrupting.

Being on the list isn’t proof that a person is wrong. I’m a fan of Bishop Barron and Archbishop Gregory. And, to Clinton’s comment, no one I knew in the Archdiocese of Washington seems to have known about Cardinal McCarrick. (Sure, if I were having a synod, I’d have made a different list.)

And, to Clinton’s comment, no one I knew in the Archdiocese of Washington seems to have known about Cardinal McCarrick.

If you were a regular reader of Ignatius Press’ Off the Record blog, you would be aware that there was sotto voce discussion of McCarrick’s conduct as early as 2005. Most of the Diogenes posts were written by the late Fr. Paul Mankowski, SJ. So, Fr. Mankowski in Chicago and Philip Lawler and Domenico Bettinelli up in Boston have heard discussions of McCarrick’s conduct but his roommate in DC hasn’t.

Being on the list isn’t proof that a person is wrong.

It’s been proven that Wuerl knew and lied about it. He’s been retired to Rome with a handsome stipend, I bet he shows up at the synod too.

What in the world has Wilton Gregory ever done to be admired for?!?

Until this cast of losers bans the Institute of Christ the King Soverign Priest, I will ignore them.
Afterwatds I will go to the SSPX parish, St. James. The SSPX will not abide by any synod of simps.

I knew from day one where this exercise was going. But I work with Leftists all the time and can predict their methods/outcomes pretty regularly. I will not be a part of a church that endorses homosexuality. Period.
I am so very sad.

Won’t the SSPX churches be bound by whatever these “synodal” idiots decide? How can they not be since they are part of the Catholic Church?

How can they not be since they are part of the Catholic Church?

Are the foregone conclusions arrived at by a rigged synod of bishops composed of heretical laity and protestants binding on anyone?

Let us refer the the relevant case law:
Athanasius v Mundo
Follow Christ and pray for those who don’t. Receive what valid sacraments you can find (even when they’re presented in stupid boxes).
Christ will not abandon us. He made no such promise for individual members of the visible Church.

Well, at least the long-suffering people of San Diego will be getting a brief respite before the floggings resume. Myself, I plan to be living 3 states away by that time.
