Southwark Archbishop: [S]ex-Synod Represented Less Than 1% Of Catholics

A synod is not a ballot where people vote according to what they believe "the Holy Spirit" is telling them, wrote Southwark Archbishop John Wilson in a November 4 summary after attending Francis’ Synod (RcSouthwark.co.uk).
He clarifies that the "sensus fidei" is not a mechanism for deciding the Church's faith, but describes how the Faith received from the apostles, is received, understood, and lived.
Wilson recalls that "only a small number of Catholics in England and Wales" responded to the local synodal process, and the figure worldwide is estimated at less than 1%.
"This means we need to contextualise the implications of the contributions received”, he concludes.

Less than 1%. I wonder what the percentage of traditional Catholics is in the world. If we believe Wikipedia, then about the same. Eh, the wrong people were attracted to the synodality. But we know why this is so.

Archbishop Wilson is a very mixed blessing. For example:
WIMBLEDON, UK, December 4, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A London Catholic parish allowed a Hindu group to hold a “Diwali” pagan festival in its parish hall next to the church. The local Archbishop Wilson defended the decision after a parishioner complained, but has also decided to review policy after LifeSiteNews reached out for comment.

It matters not whether it was 1% or 100% participation. No Catholic promote mortal sins, or their occasion. It is not just baptism that defines a Catholic but also adherence to the magisterial teaching of the Catholic Church. Since these reprobates are well aware of the magisterial teachings but wish to reject them have they not have fallen from the Faith?

And I can guarantee that out of the "small number of Catholics in England and Wales" who responded to the local synodal process, all those will have some particular dissenting agenda, like the LGBT brigade or the Women Priests brigade. Well done to Archbishop Wilson for pointing this out, but watch your back, Archbishop . . . .
