The false church will be worldly, ecumenical, and global. It will be a federation of churches. And religions will form a certain kind of global association. A world parliament of churches. It will be emptied of all divine content and will be the mystical body of the Antichrist. The mystical body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and it will be the false prophet. Satan will bring him in among our bishops.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Freedom is a right of every person: each individual enjoys the freedom of belief, thought, expression and action. The pluralism and the diversity of religions, colour, sex, race and language are willed by God in His wisdom, through which He created human beings.

If even he—a man who apparently holds the office which historically most cared for the wellbeing of Christians—will not, opting instead to play at politician, who will?
Decades have passed, and yet little has changed. In fact, we are now living under a papacy in which abusive clerics not only flourish but are often rewarded and even celebrated. In fact, there are many cases of priests who still remain in ministry today even though they have committed gravely immoral acts – priests such as Marko Rupnik, a Jesuit who was expelled from the order after decades of sexual abuse against women religious. Rupnik has been accused of sexually abusing some 30 religious sisters. However, he is currently still an active priest (now incardinated into the Diocese of Koper, Slovenia following his dismissal from the Jesuits), and he is living and working in Rome as the director of art and dean of theology at Centro Aletti.
As we can see, Bea’s victory over Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis is complete in Francis’s Synodal Church. We know, however, that actual Catholic teaching does not change in this way — what Pius XII taught in 1943 remains the teaching of the true Catholic Church. As such, we know that the Synodal Church is indeed — as Francis insisted from the opening of the Synod — intended to be a different Church (i.e., not the Catholic Church). This new Synodal Church is a counterchurch and ape church, which Archbishop Sheen described with great accuracy in 1948:
“In the midst of all his seeming love for humanity and his glib talk of freedom and equality, he will have one great secret which he will tell to no one: he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be a brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, he will deceive even the elect. He will set up a counterchurch which will be the ape of the Church, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ.” (Sheen, Communism and the Conscience of the West, p. 24)
