Following the 2014 Synod on the Family titled "Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelisation", the second session of the Synod on the Family has chosen as the theme "The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and Contemporary World". The Synod will be held in Rome from 4-25 October 2015.
My fear is that notwithstanding the genuine desires of the majority of Bishops around the world, the Synod will be hijacked by the Pope's elite guard of Sith Lords, who revealed their true nature at the 2014 Synod. The emphasis will be on "Contemporary World", and dragging the Church down into the sewer of the contemporary world.
Cardinal Walter Kasper has acted as the leader of the Pope's Dark Lords of the Sith, with the mission to ram through the Synod of Bishops on the Family, by fair means or foul, the modernist "family" agenda. This agenda is (first step) communion for divorced and re-married people, (second step) tolerance without criticism or attempts at conversion of persons in homosexual relationships, (third step) communion for persons in homosexual relationships, (fourth step) recognition of homosexual civil unions, (fifth step) recognition of and the creation of liturgical expressions for homosexual "marriage" etc.
This year Sith Lords like Kasper will say the first and second steps are ok and reject the subsequent steps. Next year, especially if they have achieved the first two steps, they will say the third step is OK, and so it goes.
The Sith Lords speak in sweet tones about "mercy" and "pastoralism" but never mention the sacredness of the real presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, or that divorced and re-married people are living a life of public adultery. The Sith Lords also assume that the Church has been merciless to people for the last 2,000 years.
Here are some reports of the words used by this Sith Lord:
Critics commonly point to the several scriptural prohibitions of second marriages, especially Jesus’ words in Matthew 19:9: “Whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery.”
Cardinal Kasper says condemning second unions on that basis reflects a “fundamentalistic” reading of the Bible.
“We have to integrate such a word, one word of Jesus Christ, in the whole context of his message. We cannot take only one phrase and suddenly make all the consequences. We have to integrate it in the whole message of love, and of mercy, of forgiveness, of a new chance,” he said.
Notice how an unambiguous teaching of Our Lord is overturned with weasel words. Notice how the modernists' favourite pejorative term - "fundamentalist" - is now even applied to our Lord.
Here is some more Sith slime from Cardinal Kasper, perhaps carefully chosen to prepare the groundwork for the homosexual agenda:
Under the right circumstances, he said, the church might not merely tolerate sexual relations in an “irregular” union but even consider them good:
“Such a sexual relation within such a couple has also its positive values; it’s not only its negative values, and I think the first word of the church always, in every situation, is a ‘yes.’ ‘I’m happy that God gives you this love and that you can express this love.’ It’s not the fullness already, but who of us loves God and loves the neighbor as he should do it? We are all on the way.”
This is the mindset of the Sith, positive and negative values coexisting at the same time. This is the ultimate relativism. There is no objective truth and right behaviour to be upheld and defended, there is always an inherent opposite to be recognized, or a different "context" (to use Kasper's other excuse), and so everything is possible, everything has the potential to be "right" even the opposite of Our Lord's teachings.
The Pope has also personally asked the retired Belgian Cardinal, Godfried Danneels, to play a role in the Synod on the Family. Danneels is another Sith Lord, who presided over the ultra-liberal Belgian Catholic Church and who is a prominent supporter of homosexual "marriage". Here is a report of Sith Lord Danneels weaselling away:
In the interview he granted us (L'Echo, May 31, 2013) Cardinal Danneels expressed himself notably about homosexual marriage which has been making headlines across France in recent days.
"He says to obey the law and not oppose gay marriage. 'We need to understand: The Church has never objected to the fact that there is a sort of 'marriage' between homosexuals – however we're talking about a sort of marriage. This is not the same as the true marriage between a man and a woman, so we need to find another word for the dictionary. However, insofar as it is legal - that it has been rendered legitimate by law - the Church has nothing to say about it. (...) If a state opens civil marriage to homosexuals, then it is the problem of that state."
So loyal Catholics are doing their best to oppose so-called 'marriage equality' legislation around the world, and the Sith Lords say do nothing. They even say the Church should say nothing about this. This is a far cry from St. Francis de Sales (below).
What distresses me most is that the Sith Lords and their mission is guided by the Pope himself. And when the Synod resumes in October 2015 the Sith have a reinforcement with the Pope's new appointment of Fr. Timothy Radcliffe OP as a consultor of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. Radcliffe was Master of the Dominican Order from 1992 until 2001 and he is another prominent supporter of the stepping stones above.
Here is some commentary about Radcliffe:
Last year, Radcliffe was at the center of a controversy over his invitation to speak at the International Conference of Divine Mercy, Ireland’s largest Catholic gathering. The American television network EWTN dropped plans to cover the event because of Radcliffe’s participation. A host at the station called Radcliffe’s views “at sharp variance to Catholic teaching.”
The row was caused by comments Radcliffe made in 2013 about homosexuality, as reported by The Tablet:
“Certainly it can be generous, vulnerable, tender, mutual, and non-violent. So in many ways, I would think that it can be expressive of Christ’s self-gift,” he said. He expressed surprise that his views caused such a stir, stating that they were “deeply in resonance with the teaching of Pope Francis.”
In a December 2012 article in The Guardian, Radcliffe wrote, “It is heartening to see the wave of support for gay marriages. It shows a society that aspires to an open tolerance of all sorts of people, a desire for us to live together in mutual acceptance.”
When I first read about the machinations at the Synod on the Family I immediately thought of Vatican II, and how a small group of modernists could inject a poison that would spread and ultimately decimate the faithful. The same tactics are in play again, and well summarised by this commentator:
In the interview that Cardinal Kasper granted to the Vaticanist Andrea Tornielli on September 18th, the Cardinal says: “Church doctrine is not a closed system: the Second Vatican Council teaches us that there is a development, meaning that it is possible to look into this further. I wonder if a deeper understanding similar to what we saw in ecclesiology, is possible in this case (i.e. that of divorced Catholics who have remarried civilly). Although the Catholic Church is Christ’s true Church, there are elements of ecclesiality beyond the institutional boundaries of the Church too. Couldn’t some elements of sacramental marriage also be recognized in civil marriages in certain cases? For example, the lifelong commitment, mutual love and care, Christian life and a public declaration of commitment that does not exist in common-law marriages.”
Cardinal Kasper’s proposals in favor of communion for divorced-and-remarried persons are an illustration of what we blame on the Council. In the talk that he gave to the cardinals during the Consistory on February 20th of this year, he proposed doing again what was done at the Council, namely: reaffirming Catholic doctrine while offering pastoral overtures. In his various interviews with journalists he harps on this distinction between doctrine and pastoral practice. He says that theoretically doctrine cannot change, but he introduces the notion that concretely, in reality, there are some situations in which the doctrine cannot be applied. Then, in his opinion, only a pastoral approach is capable of finding solutions… at the expense of doctrine.
For our part, we blame the Council for making this artificial distinction between doctrine and pastoral practice, because pastoral practice must follow from doctrine. Through multiple pastoral concessions, substantial changes have been introduced in the Church, and its doctrine has been affected. This is what happened during and after the Council, and we denounce the same strategy that is being used today against the morality of marriage.
Cardinal Kasper proposes applying pastorally to marriage the new principles concerning the Church that were spelled out at the Council in the name of ecumenism: there are elements of ecclesiality outside the Church. He moves logically from ecclesial ecumenism to matrimonial ecumenism. Thus, in his opinion, there are elements of Christian marriage outside of the sacrament. To look at things concretely, just ask spouses what they would think of “ecumenical” marital fidelity or fidelity in diversity! Similarly, what are we supposed to think about a so-called “ecumenical” doctrinal unity that is united in diversity?
That is a good summary, matrimonial ecumenism. Then everything ecumenism. All behaviours and practices tolerated. All actions good. All religions equal. No need for the Church. No need for Our Lord. Mankind triumphant and in his pride doing anything he wants.
I saw the following omen in the sky tonight on the dog walk. The Moon was between Mars and Saturn and was a quarter waxing. The meaning is clear! In a weeks time, there will be great warfare and a little wisdom (or perhaps insanity).
