Apparently few here know how a synod works. Nothing has been decided. It may take years before they decide. I really wish people had followed John Paul II or Benedict XVI this closely. But it's so much easier to tear the Church down around Francis.

Should we not wait until they at least conclude the synod? Why should we listen to sources that we previously would never trust? All of a sudden we are supposed to trust those we never trust.

...what sources are you talking about...? are you referring to the Remnant...?

...because I can assure you, I trust the Remnant explicitly to have Catholicism’s best interests at heart, even if I disagree on various issues...

I was thinking about this today...my family has the Vocations cup for this week. It occurred to me that as long as the laity has faith, and keeps doctrine and practice alive in our homes, we have nothing to fear, as it is the laity who are responsible for raising up new religious. It would be just like the Enemy to sow fear and doubt into the hearts of the faithful, through gossip and speculation just like this, in the hope that they will leave the Church, ensuring that the next generation of religious will come from the relativistic families that remain. I plan on remaining loyal to Christ in the Eucharist no matter what, and hold proper Church doctrine in my heart, and pray that I will be able to teach my children to do the same.
