The refrain is getting tiresome from these loathsome men. They spent 50 years refusing to teach the doctrine that they so obviously reject and hated, and then, when no one believes any more because of their willful and culpable neglect, they sit back with a barely suppressed grin and say, “Well, we just need to dump it, because sophisticated contemporary people don’t believe it any more.” Our young people make their decisions on marriage and the family within the context of a flawed and antagonistic social culture.

Just a straight-up bit of piracy here. Rorate Caeli reports: Explosive Revelation: Miniature Shadow Synod being held with Pope and outside guests every day at Santa Marta {.post-title.entry-title} Buried within the article published today in the Catholic German newspaper Die Tagespost is the incredible news that helps to explain both the amazing way in which rules are changed by the hourat the 2015 Synod, and the constant leaks of threats and papal opinions.

  Cardinal Sarah: Gender ideology and ISIS are like beasts of the Apocalypse According to the full text of his intervention (see below), given to the Register and Aleteia, the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship said “we find ourselves between gender ideology and ISIS”.

Well, it looks like we’ve been giving people ideas. “Get Out of the Water!” {.title} I address now the Synod Fathers: Each of you is a Shepherd and we are your flock and we know of it all too well. Lay people cannot simply sit back and watch this travesty and so while I can only say this is my own opinion, there will be some who most assuredly agree: you are being used.

“...whenever anything happens of controversy in the Synod Hall among the bishops, Fr. Lombardi and Fr. Rosica say nothing, reveal nothing, talk about none of it. They are masters at their profession of manipulating and orchestrating the flow of information to the media. Something a little less controversial had occurred last week, and when the press found about it and asked questions about it and why Fr.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, not a protestant “altar-call” “One of the problems with the way the Mass is presented in the Novus Ordo, e.g. as a very weird kind of family dinner, is that the emphasis is on ‘goin’ up for communion.'” ~ In Poland I went to Mass, as you do, and at a Novus Ordo Mass I noticed two things: 1. that those who received communion went up in no particular order, knelt on the altar step and stuck their tongues out and 2.

Go, and sin in peace... ~ Via Jeanne Smits (auto-translated from French) **Synod: “The distinction between sin and sinner no longer works” ** At the midday press conference organized by the Vatican press office, Father Thomas Rosica emphasized this statement made ​​by a Synodal Father during Saturday’s discussion on the third part of the Instrumentum laboris (while the second part is being examined by circuli minores since Monday morning):
