Bishop Strickland Warns Against Elevating Synodality and Accompaniment Over Truth
- “We see it whenever the Church begins to speak more about comfort than conversion, more about synodality than truth, and more about accompaniment than fidelity.
- We see it when the sharp edges of the Gospel are sanded down so that no one is disturbed, no one is challenged, and no one feels the weight of the Cross.
- We see it when what was once received with reverence is treated as an obstacle, when what was once handed down is described as rigid, and when the Church begins to borrow the language and priorities of the world rather than offering the world something different.”
Monsignor Strickland summarizes: “Christ did not come to make the world comfortable. And the Church was never meant to mirror the world so closely that the Cross disappears from view.”
