Smoking Gun Book™ about last year’s chaotic Synod
Do not… DO NOT… succumb to Synod Fatigue!
We need all hands on deck right now, before the storm, to batten down the hatches and reef the sails.
My spies tell me that this upcoming Synod will not be smooth sailing. The “other side” has been preparing their machinations ahead of time. My hope is that the “good guys” are also consulting with each other before the Synod begins.
What can we do? We can keep ourselves informed, use alternative Catholic media sources for news… you can bet that the liberal catholics will have their outlets as well as the secular MSM on their side.
What else? You can fast and you can pray.
That said, my friend Edward Pentin’s new book has been released by Ignatius Press (bless them for fighting the good fight). HERE
The book is not inaccurate! Note especially the part about how the head of the Vatican’s Synod office, Card. Baldisseri, boosted and hijacked the Five Cardinals Book™, Remaining in the Truth of Christ: Marriage and Communion in the Catholic Church (UK HERE), sent through Italian post to the Vatican Post mail slots designated for each Synod member.
It’s Cold War stuff.
The Rigging of a Vatican Synod?
An Investigation of Alleged Manipulation at the Extraordinary Synod on the Family
Excerpt in CWR HERE.
BTW… I don’t think that Communion for the divorced and remarried is going to get anywhere. I don’t think that that was the true agenda from the start. There is some discussion of a certain lobby at work. But I digress….
Pentin, who is fair, tries to view the Synod from different perspectives. He explains the influence of the media in the controversy.
Is the Holy Father trying to create some “lío” in order to produce clarity down the line?
The Eleven Cardinals Book™ is on its way.
