THE HOLY SPIRIT’S REDEMPTION OF SYNODALITY EXERCISED THROUGH HIS VICAR OF CHRIST, POPE LEO!

I learned in the almost 13 years of Pope Francis’ papacy that those things he complained about His Holiness’ was also most guilty. 

Talks too much ✅

Rigidity ✅

Mentally ill (✅by His Holiness own admission, btw, not that there’s anything wrong with that)

Longing for the past, the 1970’s in particular ✅

and there is more.

But also when he claimed that certain things aren’t the way they appear, but in fact are very much as they appear:

Pachamama ✅

Synodality is not a political parliament ✅

Thanks be to God, that Pope Leo XIV, understands the irony of Pope Francis’ many disclaimers. 

This is especially true of synodality and the heterodox who control it trying to turn it into a parliament with political lobbies of a variety of political parties vying to make the Church post-Catholic in faith, morals and sacraments, not to mention Sacred Scripture and Tradition.

I have always said that if the Vatican wants a talking fest lasting months and costing inestimable amounts of money, which the Vatican doesn’t have, that it should be to figure out how to present the immutable truths of the Church in a way that makes sense, not by changing these truths to conform to worldly sociology and ideologies, but by making them logical and a way that can be chosen to live. 

In this context, reports of Pope Leo discussing with all the cardinals in an extraordinary meeting with them in January will focus on the orthodox (which is also Eastern, in union and in schism) understanding of synodality.

This is what is being reported, thanks be to God:

The second point concerns the theme of synodality, which had been one of the most discussed elements of the pontificate of Francis. From the letter in question, it emerges that Leo XIV intends to propose a specific reading of it, in which synodality is not presented as a process of “democratization of the Church,” but as a path of communion: an instrument aimed at disposing clergy and laity to accept and to put into practice, in a concordant manner, what is established by ecclesiastical authority. This approach is explicitly linked by the Pope to the horizon of unity, indicated as the guiding criterion and key word of his pontificate.
