Living out the ten commandments is only complex when you try to lie and twist no for yes.
*Unless you become as one of these, you shall not enter my Father’s house.+
It’s amazing how quickly a child will figure out that you can’t place a square peg into a round hole, yet so-called religious leaders will never admit that they can’t do it. The complexity isn’t material. It’s a horrible defect called pride. Pride makes living the 10 commandments complex.
For this command which I am giving you today is not too wondrous or remote for you.
It is not in the heavens, that you should say, “Who will go up to the heavens to get it for us and tell us of it, that we may do it?”
Nor is it across the sea, that you should say, “Who will cross the sea to get it for us and tell us of it, that we may do it?”
No, it is something very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to do it.
~ Deuteronomy 30:11-14
This is the whole sawing off the branch one is sitting on. Ultimately the agenda being pursued is self-defeating and will lead to maximum chaos; as I’ve mentioned before, the papacy as ouroboros. After all, if the current pontiff can undo all that came before, so can the next guy for the same reasons. The only limiting principle is one’s will.
My guess is that the plan is to create such fracturing that it will be impossible for the next guy to do much about it, as the things currently in motion will already be baked into the cake, so to speak, and thus much harder to dislodge practically. I don’t think they’re stupid; rather, I think they know the time window to do this is narrowing; hence the ramping up of the timeline and (so it seems at least) making kissy faces with as many globalists as possible.
As far as the ecological advice, they missed an important opportunity to make the synod into a multi-year pilgrimage in which the participants travel to Rome by means that don’t employ fossil fuels. After all, they certainly wouldn’t want their hectoring to seem insincere…
