The 59th World Day of Prayer for Vocations will take place on May 8, the Fourth Sunday of Easter, also known as Good Shepherd Sunday.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis said on Thursday that “the Church must become increasingly synodal.”
The Pope made the comment in his annual World Day of Prayer for Vocations message, published May 5, as Catholics worldwide participate in a global consultation process leading to the 2023 Synod on Synodality.
In the message, he emphasized that vocations have a communal as well as a personal dimension.
He wrote: “Each of us shines like a star in the heart of God and in the firmament of the universe. At the same time, though, we are called to form constellations that can guide and light up the path of humanity, beginning with the places in which we live.”
“This is the mystery of the Church: a celebration of differences, a sign, and instrument of all that humanity is called to be.”
“For this reason, the Church must become increasingly synodal: capable of walking together, united in harmonious diversity, where everyone can actively participate and where everyone has something to contribute.”

We are not a synodal church.
Synodal = I want us to be woke so lets just take polls on tik-tok and let that determine church dogma.
The Church must become less Marxist.
With a papal bull against America under his arm I’m sure.

Time to return to the Torah. You know, the same Torah that God gave to Israel on Mount Sinai; the same Torah that Jesus taught to all of his Disciples. The same Torah that he said would endure as long as the Universe. Leave Rome behind and come home to Torah. You, and your children will be glad you did.
The church is not a republic nor a democracy but a theocracy based on God’s word.
You don’t get to “vote” on that.
A thought that occurred to me this evening… Pope Francis doesn’t hear the Spirit… is he truly Pope? Someone anointed to share the truth of the faith shouldn’t have to “listen” to others to figure out what is truth.
A church that listens to the world is no church. The Church that hears and teaches the truth of God is the Church instituted by Christ.
Um- no.
The question is: “Who is more senile, Biden or Francis?
The pope is a DOPE!
