Rules to be Severely Changed for Upcoming Synod in October
Fr. Z's Blog ^ | 9/7/15 | Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

At Monday Vatican Andrea Gagliarducci has news about changes to be made in the procedure for the upcoming Synod in October.

Last year the organizers of the Synod changed rules in order to more easily ram through their agenda. This year is no different. Look what they are going to do. My emphases:

[…]

Some well-informed people say that the 2015 Synod will be completely different from any other. First of all, a midterm report will not be released. Last year, the midterm report was completely revised by some of the Pope’s closest collaborators prior to its release, and the report resulted in many controversies. Even Cardinal Petr Erdo, the Synod’s General Relator, distanced himself from the report. But its release united the followers of the Church’s doctrine, who stood up against the Synod’s drift. They ultimately achieved an acceptable compromise for the Synod’s Final Report, which was filled with biblical references that had been lacking in the midterm report.

Avoiding the release of a midterm report would mean eliminating any possibility of discussion. The plan is for the Synod to carry out discussions mostly in “small groups” (circuli minores) without a general discussion. In the end, the reports of the small groups would be put in the Pope’s hands, and the Pope would then give a final address. No final report or post-synodal apostolic exhortation is foreseen at the moment, at least according to recent rumors. In this way the adapters hope to convince the Pope to employ vague language so they can eventually exploit his words.

Pray for Pope Frances for if he tries to change Doctrine the Holy Spirit will not do him or his Soul well...

Story of Anani’as and Sapphi’ra, Lie against the Holy Spirit.
Acts 5:1-15(rsv)
“But a man named Anani’as with his wife Sapphi’ra sold a piece of property,

and with his wife’s knowledge he kept back some of the proceeds, and brought only a part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

But Peter said, “Anani’as, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land?

While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”

When Anani’as heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.

The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.

After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” And she said, “Yes, for so much.”

But Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Hark, the feet of those that have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard of these things.

Now many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon’s Portico.

None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high honor.

And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,

so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and pallets, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.”

The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation!

Also:

Pope Francis should be worrying more about the Lives of the Innocent being Massacre in the Womb and by muslim extremist and less about a Nations enforcing its boarders... or about flawed science of Global Warming...

Obviously the Pope is Not Truly doing his Job... My the Holy Spirit Correct the Lost Sheep!

God Bless
