The Synod: Setting the State for Massive Future Changes

  The participants in the Vatican Synod on Synodality, held in October 2023, were unaware of it for the most part, but they were being deliberately nudged along a predetermined path.  The entire process was being dominated by radical liberal priests and nuns, under the guiding hand of the Jesuits.  This was made clear by the first woman to ever preside over a synod of bishops, a Mexican nun named Maria de los Dolores Valencia Gomez.  She said at a press briefing that the participation of women in the Synod was “setting the stage for future changes.”  “I feel that this is a gradual process.  Little by little, we shall see changes,” she said.[i]  The end goal was already decided upon.

What Is It?

  The first Vatican assembly for the global Synod on Synodality, called for by the Roman pope Francis I, officially began in October 2023.  It was the first of two planned assemblies, the second one scheduled for October 2024.

A “synod”, according to Romespeak, is a meeting of Romish bishops gathered to discuss a topic of theological or pastoral significance, and to prepare a document of advice or counsel to the Roman pope.  The 2023 Synod is a historic one for Rome, because it is the first ever to have voting delegates who are not only bishops.  Nearly a third of them are priests, nuns, and deacons.  A significant number are “lay” women.

The Upcoming Synod: Creating a Different “Church” of Rome

  In October 2023 the first session of what is called the General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on synodality will be held in the Vatican, with the second session scheduled for October 2024.  “Just another Vatican synod,” one might say, and dismiss it.  This would be a mistake.  This is no ordinary synod.  It could change the worldwide Roman Catholic institution, doctrinally and practically, in such far-reaching ways that what emerges could be essentially a radically different Romish “Church”.  Francis I admitted this, saying that the synod would not be about creating another church but a different church.[1]  Yes, astonishingly different.

The Decline of Romanism in Europe

   A recent Associated Press article stated: “Across Europe, the continent that nurtured [Roman Catholicism]… churches, convents and chapels stand empty and increasingly derelict as faith and church attendance shriveled over the past half century…. It is a phenomenon seen over much of Europe’s [Roman Catholic] heartland from Germany to Italy and many nations in between.”[1]  This is no exaggeration.  Romish church buildings, only a few short years ago packed to capacity with worshippers, stand empty, or are being converted to secular uses, such as cafes, concert stages, clothes shops, night clubs, even climbing walls.

Let us consider just three European countries.

The Invisible Children, Or, When Rome’s Fake “Fathers” Become Real Fathers

The Invisible Children, or When Priests Father Children, PDF format

In mid-2019 I wrote an article entitled, The Next Great Priestly Scandal: Priests who Have Fathered Illegitimate Children.[1]  The reader is urged to read that article before reading this one.  The article dealt with the fact that all over the world, today no less than in times gone by, Roman Catholic priests, who are forbidden to marry and have to take a vow of celibacy, have fathered illegitimate children.  This sin had not been given the attention it deserved, in large measure because the worldwide scandal of the sexual abuse of children by priests had dominated world headlines for decades, and also because, as the Roman Catholic new source, Zenit, admitted, “The topic of ‘children of priests’ has long been considered taboo”.[2]

USA, Bolivia, Spain – The Evidence of Priestly Abuse of Children, PDF format

First, the reader is urged to review the shocking revelations of the priestly sexual abuse of children which have come to light in more recent times, as documented in a number of articles of mine through the years, all of which are available on the Bible Based Ministries website:

* Child Sexual Abuse by Priests: Revelations of Shocking Crimes and Sinful Cover-Ups.  An overall summary of the priestly sex abuse scandals that had rocked the Papal system up to 2004, in many countries of the world.

Priestly Abuse of Nuns is Not a Thing of the Past!

Priestly Abuse of Nuns is Not a Thing of the Past, PDF format

Over the years there have been ignorant Protestants, wise in their own conceits, who have indignantly said, “Oh, all those tall tales about priests abusing and raping nuns – they’re just sensationalist anti-Catholic horror stories!  They’re not true.”  Others, only slightly less ignorant, have said, “Yes, that sort of thing may have happened in the past, in the Dark Ages, but it doesn’t happen today.”  Such statements are usually made by ecumenical “love gospel Evangelicals” who believe that Roman Catholics are their brothers and sisters in Christ, and that we should all just “preach Jesus and His love”.  As far as they are concerned, anyone who exposes such things is an unloving scaremonger, a dinosaur out of touch with the great “revival” we’re all supposed to be experiencing.

Pope Potty-Mouth

Pope Potty Mouth, PDF format

He is believed to be the Vicar of Christ by over a billion people in the world.  He supposedly takes the place of Christ on the earth.  He is called “the Holy Father’ by these same multiplied millions of followers.  He dresses in white to symbolically emphasise his supposed purity and holiness.

But the present incumbent of the office of pope of Rome is a potty-mouthed pope.  He is Francis the foul-mouthed.

Francis Denies Benedict the Usual Papal Funeral

Francis Denies Benedict the Usual Papal Funeral, PDF format

We always knew that Francis, the Jesuit pope, did not like Benedict XVI, the so-called pope emeritus, despite  all those photo ops which showed the two men embracing and smiling and acting like big buddies.  Benedict was a traditionalist when it came to Roman Catholic doctrine, and Francis is a liberal.  And the coup against Benedict in 2013 (for that is what it was) was a Jesuit maneouvre so that one of their own could become pope of Rome, and turn the Roman Catholic institution on its head.

Nothing Has Changed

  Over the years there have been ignorant Protestants who have indignantly said, “Oh, all those tall tales about priests abusing and raping nuns – they’re just sensationalist anti-Catholic horror stories!  They’re not true.”  Others, only slightly less ignorant, have said, “Yes, that sort of thing went on in the past, in the Dark Ages or perhaps even into the nineteenth century, but it doesn’t happen today.”  Such statements are usually made by ecumenical “love gospel Evangelicals” who believe that Roman Catholics are their brothers and sisters in Christ, that we should all just “preach Jesus and His love”.  As far as they are concerned, anyone who exposes such things is an unloving scaremonger, a dinosaur out of touch with the great “revival” we’re all supposed to be experiencing.
