As we witness the awful spectacle of Francis’s Synodal Church separating from the Catholic Church to partner with Satan’s globalist forces, it is natural to ponder God’s Providence in permitting all of this.

It was part of Michael’s informal discussion of the ecumenical engine that drives the Synod on Synodality – an engine which was condemned many times by Francis’s predecessors but most specifically by Mortalium Animos in 1928. No wonder the Synod Fathers and “Mothers” never talk about anything the Church taught before Vatican II. They can’t, because that teaching condemns Francis’s entire Synodal misadventure.
There aren’t too many modern writers personally honored by a pope. Among the very few chosen, one of the most distinguished is the Polish author Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846–1916). A laureate of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1905 for his novel Quo Vadis (1896), he continued to write until the end of his life, keeping a distance from Polish politics. At his death, which occurred towards the end of 1916 in Switzerland, Pope Benedict XV sent an address to be read in honor of the great writer.
In a worldwide witness to the Catholic Faith, more than 1,500 Catholic faithful from over 60 countries have taken it upon themselves to answer the recent dubia sent by five Cardinals to Pope Francis on key areas of doctrine currently being undermined at the highest levels of the Church. Organized by the campaign Missae pro Missa, this grassroots initiative has called upon all Catholics to provide the correct responses to the dubia, thereby reaffirming the unchanging Catholic Faith “regardless of the Supreme Pontiff’s willingness to do so.”
SYNODAL PUSHBACK: Bishop Schneider Launches Major Counter-Synod Offensive
The Pope’s new book, The Shepherd: Struggles, Reasons, and Thoughts on His Papacy, originally published in June in Spanish, was released in Italian on Oct. 24. Within the following passages on the ordination of women are creating quite a stir:

“Living Tradition bobs along like a cork through the stream of evolving dogma. What a pleasant euphemism for the old heresy of dogmatic historicism.” (Fr. Dominique Bourmaud, One Hundred Years of Modernism )
How can natural law exist in an environment in which everything must change, everything must progress, everything must conform to the modernist, in this particular case the LGBTQ spirit of the times?

In order to do this, we need to reflect, using as vivid and expressive imagery as possible, on the human condition before the fall, so that we can contemplate our situation after the fall. Only when these aspects are clarified, can we revisit the topic of Holy Baptism and discuss the effects it has on those saved “by the laver of regeneration” ( Titus 3:5).
Pius XII’s Humani Generis from 1950 was the last major encyclical warning Catholics about the dangers facing the Church prior to Vatican II. In it, he denounced what he termed the “imprudent zeal for souls” that led some Catholics to question the necessity of belonging to the Catholic Church:
“69% of Catholics do not believe the Eucharist is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ… This book can help.” (from inside cover of the book)
To someone not initiated into the symbolic universe of the Roman Catholic Church, the liturgy, the Sacraments, and the interior of a church building mean nothing. Invisible to physical eyes, their profound and coherent meanings remain inaccessible. Comparing this situation to a foreign language doesn’t help because someone seeing a page written in, let’s say, Japanese, knows for sure that there is a language he does not understand. Yet, it is a language that, even if not comprehended, is rich with meanings. In the case of the sacred symbols, however, a profane observer sees only elements made from familiar materials: water, oil, fire, bread, wine, etc. These are things he could even use without realizing he is committing sacrilege because all of these are commonplace in the profane context of our everyday lives. So, an observer whose mind is not attuned to perceive their meanings will see nothing more than that. The only intelligible things, partially, to an accidental participant in a Sacrament or the celebration of the Holy Liturgy, would be the words spoken by the celebrants of the sacred mysteries. But even those words do not fully reveal their meanings.
For those who are unfamiliar with this issue, Pope Benedict issued his motu proprio Summorum Pontificum in 2007 allowing a wide use of the Traditional Latin Mass (the Mass that had been celebrated in the Catholic Church for over 1,500 years). He desired that it be a part of normal parish life and celebrated in parishes alongside the current “new” or Novus Ordo Mass. However, in 2021, Pope Francis issued his motu proprio Traditiones Custodes which practically reversed the decisions of Summorum Pontificum, signaling that the Traditional Mass would soon be phased out of Catholic parochial life.
“Father Congar, of blessed memory, once said: ‘There is no need to create another Church, but to create a different Church’ ( True and False Reform in the Church ). That is the challenge. For a ‘different Church,’ a Church open to the newness that God wants to suggest, let us with greater fervour and frequency invoke the Holy Spirit and humbly listen to him, journeying together as he, the source of communion and mission, desires: with docility and courage.”
The growing progressive wing of the Church’s episcopate views the Synod as a de facto Vatican III, where the opportunity to implement heretical changes presents itself in distorting doctrine and subverting tradition while questioning the magisterium.
