SINCE VATICAN II AND THE TWO RELIGIOUS PARTIES THAT HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE CHURCH, THE CONSERVATIVE/TRADITIONAL/ORTHODOX AND THE LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE/HETERODOX, POPE FRANCIS AND HIS NON-TRADITIONAL SYNODAL DOCTRINE IS POLITICIZING THE CHURCH ON STEROIDS

Turning the Church into a coalition of political camps truly developed in the immediate post Vatican II period of the past 55 years. One political party’s platform is to dump Vatican II, another is renewal in continuity, another is a post-Catholic Church that bows to the world’s ideologies on sex and everything to do with sex and making sex neutral. 

We see this politicization of Catholicism and religious/political lobbies on steroids on Pope Francis’ novel ideas about synodality, which have nothing to do with the Eastern and Orthodox Churches on synodality which are, well, orthodox. 

This politicization of the Magisterium by Pope Francis’ unique form of synodality which has nothing to do with the Eastern Church’s form of it, will create new doctrines and dogmas and develop dogma in a way that reverses defined Magisterial teachings that have been declared dogmas. 

The traditional lobby group in the Church has made clear that traditionally, the development of doctrine and dogma means clarifying it, not changing it in a way that makes it unrecognizable. 

Here are two examples of politicizing and lobbyizing the Catholic Church and her governance and all fomented by Pope Francis:

ROME – Participants in this month’s Synod of Bishops on Synodality, who were chosen by the Vatican to take part in a news conference Friday, condemned what they said is an overly western agenda obsessed with “niche issues” such as women’s ordination, which, they said, takes attention away from other important topics.

Women’s group announces protests over ‘catastrophic’ approach in synod

ROME – Referring to the handling of questions about the role of women in the church at the current Synod of Bishops on Synodality as “catastrophic,” a coalition of progressive reform groups has announced plans to stage protests.

“I see no desire on the part of the Vatican to seriously address the issue of women in church offices,” said Regina Franken, European chair of the Catholic Women’s Council, in remarks to KNA, the official news service of the Catholic bishops in Germany.
