Synodality Will Kill Catholicism

The Catholic Church has always distinguished itself from other Christian bodies by its claim to possess, and be bound by, a deposit of faith handed down from the Apostles. The Church comes from Christ, and the Church doesn’t invent, revise, or vote on its Magisterium, its authoritative application of that depositum fidei. It receives, guards, and transmits that ancient faith. Doctrine can develop in the sense that St. John Henry Newman described it, growing in clarity and application, as an acorn becomes an oak tree. But it cannot be renegotiated – or reversed! – by majority sentiment or contemporary enthusiasm.

The mosaics of shame embarrass Pope Leo

In Lourdes, Rupnik’s mosaics on the façade of the Basilica will be permanently covered. Is there an ongoing conflict? One thing is certain: Prevost will meet abuse victims—though not those of the former Jesuit

Correction: Marko Rupnik’s mosaics in Lourdes are to be permanently covered. Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes Jean-Marc Micas has refuted the rector of the Rosary Basilica Michel Daubanes, who three weeks ago had announced that the mosaics of the former abusive Jesuit would be covered only for the days of the Pope’s visit on 26 and 27 September.

WHY POPE LEO AND THE BISHOPS ACT AS THEY DO

Their pro-LGBTQ stance is not inconsequential

Fauci and the Bishops

A Catholic Reflection

The recent revelations regarding the contents of the diaries, emails, and cell phone records of Dr. Anthony Fauci have produced a curious sidebar that involves the Catholic Church, and specifically the American Catholic hierarchy. When Fauci assumed the role of Covid Commando and promulgated the reams of regulations, orders, and guidelines, combined with the mandatory punishments regarding infringements of his diktats, America’s Catholic hierarchy quickly fell into line.

What We Do Not Publish

An unvarnished assessment of the imminent collapse of the official institution of the Catholic Church.

Carlos Balén presents here a report with the clinical precision of a police report —cold, implacable, exact, and realistic—: the proliferation of more or less anonymous allegations within the Catholic Church reveals the catastrophic state of an institution more concerned with its own image than with the rule of law or the defense of the vulnerable. The current deterioration portends an imminent collapse.

Introducing the "Synodal Church"

Is synodality really all about "inclusion", "dignity" and other modern trends? What happens to "the Catholic Church" after 2028?

Since 2019-2020, during the reign of Bergoglio (‘Pope’ Francis), Catholics were discombobulated with the introduction of a bizarre phrase never before known or heard by the most well-known theologians, historians, and scholars of Catholic theology: The Synod on Synodality. A good general background on the Synod on Synodality, an apt acronym being SoS (Save our Souls), can be found on Wikipedia. One of the hallmarks of the SoS, which most Catholics seem to miss or want to avoid, is the fact that it will result in a new Church.

Rorate Coeli reported published a report from InfoVaticana yesterday morning showing that two Catholic bishops and a monsignor participated in a pagan ritual (venerating and praying to Pachamama) in a conference intended to prepare the way for Pope Leo’s trip to Peru this November.  The initial story came from the Vatican News, and unsurprisingly, Vatican News omitted several key details.
