Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, the secretary general of the Synod of Bishops, has announced the names of the nine prelates who will work with him to draft the final report of the upcoming synod on the family.

Each of the three weeks of the synod, which begins on October 4 and concludes on October 25, is devoted to the discussion of one chapter of the synod’s instrumentum laboris, or working document. The final report, based on the discussions, will be presented to the synod fathers on October 24, whereupon it will be presented to the Holy Father, who is free to accept or reject the various recommendations.

The members of the committee for the drafting of the final report are Cardinal Baldisseri and:

Cardinal Peter Erdo (Hungary) Archbishop Bruno Forte (Italy) Cardinal Oswald Gracias (India) Cardinal Donald Wuerl (United States) Cardinal John Dew (New Zealand) Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernández (Argentina) Bishop Mathieu Madega Lebouakehan (Gabon) Bishop Marcello Semeraro (Italy) Father Adolfo Nicolás (superior general, Society of Jesus)

Who needs God's Word in the Scriptures when you just change it with a "Synod"?

I'd like to declare a "Rackeinfest" whereby I declare whatever I darn please. OK by you? No? Well, I swear I have Peter's corpse to say it's OK.......even if God Almighty says otherwise.........

Will you still not bring your heart to Jesus Christ?

"Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

Matthew 10:32

Doesn’t look like a winning team at all.

"Will you still not bring your heart to Jesus?" is a tendentious question, like "Are you still beating your wife?"

My heart belongs to Jesus. He is my Lord and my God.

I don't see it. Your heart belongs to an institution, that you defend vigorously, but not Christ Himself.

You make very free with reading my heart -- as if you could ---- judging me interiorly, and saying I am untruthful about my own commitment to God.

You are quite out of bounds.

No.

I have read your posts.

You have displayed your true heart.

Here it is.

I have read post after post from you. You care nothing of God's Word in the Bible, and in fact, you have contempt for those who follow Him.

May you reap what you sow.

May He bless you as well. However, as usual madam, you fail to see His Word.

Do you not see? Are you so blind?

If you loved Christ, you would love those He saved. You would love those He blesses.

But you don't.

His words and warnings echo as if they were written for you:

John 5: 31-47

"31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true. 33 “You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. 34 Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. 35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light. 36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, 38 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. 39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life. 41 “I do not accept glory from human beings, 42 but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. 47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”

_______________________________________________________________________

John 8: 12: 20

12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 13 The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.” 14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. 16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me. 17 In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true. 18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.” 19 Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” 20 He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

That is not true. Every word and action that Jesus Christ undertook had intense meaning and eternal significance. They apply to all of us, and are timely and invaluable.

What exactly have I not done that has endeared your wrath and criticism? Or have your simply accused me falsely?
