This image summarizes the LGBT "Youth" Synod

The LGBT "Youth" Synod (officially, 'The XV Official General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops", dedicated to the "Youth") opened today in Rome.

In his opening address, the Pope attacked "clericalism" -- as if he were not the most clericalist man in the world, refusing to respond to the Viganò accusations that he protected and promoted Ted McCarrick. He also railed against "blogs", meaning we are doing our job right.

The symbol of this Synod that no one asked for and that will have no legitimacy (since its composition was carefully manipulated to avoid any resistance to the Pope's pro-LGBT agenda) is the ferula Francis chose to use: not the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but this contraption:

Who does he think he is ... Gandalf the Grey?

[Ouchthatonehurt]

[ebb tide]

Gandalf the Gay, perhaps?

[GCC Catholic]

I propose that once the Synod's exhortation drops (or before if we get solid info on what was discussed), all Catholics under 40 who feel unrepresented there need to storm Social Media -- memes, hashtags, articles, etc:

Current hashtag in use is #Synod2018

[NorthMountain]

LOL!

Perhaps the Cross is just not relevant for this man.

[DuncanWaring]

He serves a different master.

Anne Barnhardt describes it on her website today as a “stang”, a Satanic implement in witchcraft. If I lived in Rome now, I’d be seriously looking for a new abode on another continent.

He’s carrying a “stang”.

Hey Francis...you ain’t Gandalf!

[Salvation]

From that article.

**“Gary describes the Stang as primarily a symbolic tool rather than a working one, and as such it stands in for the Devil himself, holding his power and his dual nature. The Devil and the Stang is often less about strict duality and more about the transgressing of boundaries, The Devil being a spirit I often think of as non-binary and difficult to define in terms of absolutes.”**

[Salvation]

**A Stang is a witch/warlock’s ceremonial staff. It is always forked, and always has an iron nail driven through it. Ideally it has a human form carved or integrated into it somehow. The Stang signifies several things, the first being a satan himself. Read the quote below from a witchcraft blog:**

[NorthMountain]

He should be carrying either a cross or a shepherd’s crook.

Instead, he has a wizard’s staff.

Can he recite the Nicene Creed without bursting into flames?

Can he recite the Lord’s Prayer without being hit by lightning?

Is there a point to this other than a pathetic attempt to appear “relevant” to young people? The message it sends is that the cross is too “rigid”, dated and traditional for young people, at least in the strange mind of Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

[Biggirl]

What he is holding a broken 🌳 tree.

[Bigg Red]

What is that? A slingshot?

Yes, the point is to renounce the Cross and to promote witchcraft, apparently.
