What the so called Youth Synod was truly all about, boiled down to paragraph 150 of the closing document:
150. There are questions relating to the body, affectivity and sexuality which require a deeper anthropological, theological and pastoral elaboration, to be carried out in the most appropriate ways and at the most appropriate levels, from the local to the universal. Among these, emerge those relating in particular to the difference and harmony between male and female identity and sexual inclinations. In this regard, the Synod reaffirms that God loves every person and so does the Church, renewing her commitment against all discrimination and violence on a sexual basis. She also reaffirms the decisive anthropological relevance of the difference and reciprocity between man and woman and considers it reductive to define the identity of people starting only from their “sexual orientation” (CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH, Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons, October 1, 1986, no. 16). In many Christian communities there are already paths of accompaniment in the faith of homosexual people: the Synod recommends encouraging such paths. These paths help people to understand their own [personal] history; to recognize freely and responsibly their own baptismal call; to recognize the desire to belong to and contribute to the life of the community; to discern the best ways to achieve it. In this way, we help every young person, excluding no one, to integrate the sexual dimension more and more into their personality, growing in the quality of relationships and walking towards the gift of self.
The blessing of homosexuality by the Catholic Church is the ultimate goal of the Lavender Mafia and they took a long step towards that goal with the above paragraph. At first it may seem to be meaningless gibberish, a perfect example of ecclessi-speak, but read carefully it is anything but. The catechism used to condemn unjust discrimination as to homosexuals. The current formulation against any discrimination will be used as an argument against restricting marriage to man and woman, against preventing homosexual propaganda being taught in schools and against restricting the “right” of homosexuals to adopt kids. Thus the victorious “gay rights” movement in the West is given an imprimatur by the Church, and is to be imposed on the entire globe, at least in areas where the Church has a strong presence. Thus Pope Francis continues his role of being chaplain to the reigning zeitgeist of the chattering classes of the West.
We have no King but Jesus.
If the Catholic Church will bow to homosexuality might it bow to other fashionable disorders of the day?
They rushed the voting process, not allowing enough time for the translation of the documents;
voting procedures dictated that the final document was to be given to the Synod Fathers in the morning and read in the hall, with simultaneous translation. After several hours for reflection, during the afternoon session the Synod Fathers were to vote on the entire document, paragraph by paragraph.
But according to Archbishop Charles Chaput, “many bishops were frustrated by the lack of advance translations for important issues they were expected to vote on. As one of the synod fathers argued, it’s actually immoral to vote ‘yes’ on significant issues if you can’t even read and reflect on what the text says.
A poor used car salesmanship tatic at best.

Under the guise of “pastoral” Pope Francis ignores the souls of the people. Yes, “God loves all persons”… everybody, but do all persons… everybody love God? Homosexuality is an act of Nature. “the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God” (Declaration. Sorry, Pope Francis, our Declaration of Independence does not allow sodomy. Our Declaration of Independence and independence itself is reliant on Divine Providence WHO you withhold from the people) Addiction to the vice of lust and sodomy is a free will choice that violates the human body and the human soul. All addiction violates the free will of man. Homosexuality, same sex attraction, and the practice of sodomy must be differentiated: homosexuality as a condition and sodomy as an act acting on the condition. Same Sex attraction is innocent. Sodomy is the bottom of hell.
Sodomites often defend their addiction to lust and sodomy by saying that heterosexual persons indulge in sodomy. That is ludicrous.
Issues must be judged. Persons must be loved. Discrimination against the sinful and criminal acts of persons is loving them. Allowing evil to persist in the souls of men is hating them. Jesus says: “Test everything.” God’s privilege to procreate is violated. God’s command to increase and multiply is violated
God is love. Love is not God. (The message from the apparition in Medjugorjie is that love is God) In this instance, Pope Francis is glorifying love as God. If love is willing the good of the other, then sodomy is not love…and sodomy is not God, except maybe to Pope Francis.
The devil is fallen creature. Serving the devil is falling with the devil into hell. IF HELL WERE SUCH A GOOD PLACE, THEN WHY DOESN’T THE DEVIL STAY THERE?
Sodomy is repulsive. Sodomites are possessed by the devil. Can anyone outside of the devil imagine sodomy as an end for eternity or do they expect to become deathbed converts? Going to hell and being sodomized by all demons in hell is hell. Persons die they way they live. Live for God and die for God.
“They rushed the voting process, not allowing enough time for the translation of the documents;”
“Pass it so we can find our what is in it.” Pelosi on Obamacare.
It will be overturned, if not by the people, then by God, Himself.
and I thought to myself, “What a bunch of crap”. and then I realized that a truer word has never been spoken,
“In many Christian communities there are already paths of accompaniment in the faith of homosexual people: the Synod recommends encouraging such paths.” Are these “other Christian communities” Protestant denominations? What the hell is going on here?! Where are the other Viganos in our Church?>
Bishops,
“Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female,”
Contraception is a Hydra, for sure.
O Tempora O Mores.
I’m not old enough to remember when the Church was “Contra Mundi.” Do those people believe the Church needs conform itself to the World?
T. Shaw.
They absolutely do.
They had every opportunity to teach truth, clearly, about same sex attraction and it’s disorder within couples acting out the sin.
No.
They chose to be cowards.
Catholic in name only…… cowards! Shame on them!
Room for all sinners, yes. If they think they are not sinning then the dog and pony show that resulted in this final draft is a Huge waist of time.
The Lavender Mafia wins one.
Now Don, don’t forget what Yoda said:
“Luke stay away from the darker side
and if you begin to go astray
let the
forcehermaneutic of continuity be your guide.”“She [the Church] also reaffirms the decisive anthropological relevance of the difference and reciprocity between man and woman and considers it reductive to define the identity of people starting only from their “sexual orientation”[.]” for the win!
T. Shaw. My response to your rhetorical question was “they do,” because the Church leadership has an ugly agenda. Anti-Church.
Chalk one up for the dark side. Francis and his puppetmasters are pleased.
Are there any bishops who will speak against this BS? If they don’t care why should I? I’ve had about enough of them.
translation of the documents
From what? Latin? Shouldn’t Bishops know Latin?
I’m no dope, but I do need a translation even when these documents are in English. Sick of the double speak gibberish !!! Sneaky, sinful and craven the Lavenders deliberately sow confusing ambiguity.
