Catholics around the world need to know that the Vatican communications machine is still doing its best to manipulate the results of the Synod on the Family.
As can be seen from the link here and below to the relevant page on the Vatican website, all the preliminary and more liberal documents of the Synod are up there in multiple languages, while the only one that matters de jure - the final and official relatio which did not even propose - much less approve - Communion for divorced-and remarrieds or "welcome" for homosexuals and their "gifts", is posted only in Italian.
As Chris Ferrara noted this morning, "it is even worse than this. All of the problematical documents pertaining to the preparation and interim Relatio of the Synod on the Vatican website page linked to above have titles that are active hyperlinks, so that you can click on the title and immediately go to the document. But the title of the Synod’s final Relatio—the only document that was supposed to represent the Synod's official outcome—is merely in dead type that cannot be clicked.
"Worse still, the Synod's final Relatio is the only document on that page which appears in one language only, Italian, whereas the positively evil midterm Relatio, which the Synod completely rejected, appears in English, Italian, Portuguese, French and Spanish as do ten other documents related to the Synod.
"The bottom line is that the Synod document that receives the least prominence on the Vatican website is the very document reflecting the Synod's actual outcome, which is widely (and rightly) reported as a “defeat” for Francis. Unbelievable!"
So de facto, far more publicity is still being given by the Vatican itself to the intermediate relatio of October 13 which was roundly denounced by the firmly orthodox Fathers than to the much sounder relatio finalis wich replaced it on October 18.
Why? In heaven's name, what is going on in the Vatican?
Ping!
Let me put this out there: Is the Pope gay?
No, he’s just a leftist Jesuit. “Gay” is one of their causes.
One look at him and you can tell that he is indeed gay. He is one of the happiest people I’ve ever seen, and he has a very positive attitude.
The sodomites and Marxists have taken possession of the hierarchy, that’s what is wrong
This Pope is all for the novelty of “collegiality”, unless he doesn’t like the results.
Kim Jong-un comes to mind.
LOL! Had the same thought.
“No, he’s just a leftist Jesuit”.
And there lies the problem.
Okay...that makes sense. Thanks for the info!
I think the Pope is a lifelong leftist, and a mediocrity. He is totally unqualified to be Pope. I think he could be suffering from some dementia. His preaching is shallow and childish. Or maybe it has always been so.
The hard left in the hierarchy and the bureaucracy are having a field day.
I don’t think this is anybody’s deliberate strategy, but the hard left is out of the closet under this Pope. Pope Burke will have an easier time cleaning them out, now that so many of them have come out of the woodwork.
You've summed him up quite well.
