It's all a persona to please the average Vatican II Catholic pewsitter. "Oh, Father Ron is such a nice man! He tells us funny jokes at Mass. Plus he's a hoot at parties."
Ho, ho, ho, ho. Then he went on to say, "A bishop, an apostate and a clown walk into a bar and say, "Anybody here but me?"
Nothing is funny. It's tragedy of apocalyptic proportions
At what point does the Catholic World admit that the Synodal Church is not the Apostolic Church. The Synodal Church is the terminal stage of the Councilor Church. The Synodal Church has much more in common with the secrets of a Masonic Lodge than with the faith of the Apostles.
@myunkie At what point? When Catholics accept the fact that the Synodal "church" began under Paul VI on September 15th, 1965 - in order to effect the notion of collegiality. And every Cardinal elected to the papacy since then (John Paul I didn't have time) has embraced it. The Revolution didn't begin with Bergoglio.
Absolutely, but "Collegiality" was of bishops. Synodality includes, if I recall the documents correctly, "all baptized Christians." Whatever Collegiality was, Synodality is a complete break from the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
@Simon North What you say is true, but having strong bishops - who are more than "branch managers" of the Vatican - does have a positive side. We have bishops like +Strickland, +Schneider, etc. that can use their 'apostolic voice' against the errors of modernist Rome. The height of irony is that Francis' Vatican is much more centralizing flexing it's "absolute authority" and compelling obedience than many previous pontiffs!
@Simon North The Catholic Church has a heretic in the Chair of Saint Peter. (I think we can agree on that.) His influence is destroying the Church on Earth. Someone said, it is "replacing the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church with a surrogate of human origin." When do we walk away from the surrogate "synodal" church? How does the True Catholic Apostolic Church carry on with the Catholic deposit of faith?
