This dear Cardinal needs our prayers too, as we pray with the Fatima network tomorrow, (6 AM (CST)).
Like us, his poor head must also be spinning to be so marginalized, treated as an outsider in a Church gone mad at the top, at least in the halls of influence.
It is nearly impossible to recognize the Catholic Church from the denominations, on Sunday morning, but many of the seat warmers seem pleased with the minimization of the Mass, the prayers, the artless, the architectureless, stadium lights and etc., etc., etc.
**Synods Originally Meant to Preserve and Strengthen Doctrine and Discipline**
Yes!
Let the truth prevail.
Dear Ebb Tide,
Why fear the Magesterium? The sensus fidei? Is God not in charge? Do not all things work to His purpose? What can even one worry from you do to change His plans? Would you lead an insurrection to overthrow the synod? Don’t you trust the Holy Ghost? Or is this not the one Holy and Apostolc church and the gates of Hell will prevail?
Foolish man.
Burke for Pope.
I don’t know if my nerves will take another week of this gutwrenching synod... I just hope and pray that in the end we will all be pleasantly surprised by the God of surprises and that doctrine will not be overturned either directly, or by change of discipline, or by allowing local “pastoral” decisionmaking.
These Synods are Vatican II/Paul VI novelties. They are not Traditional.
