Gaslighting at the Amazon synod

From Magister's blog: he posts an essay a Uruguayan missionary invited to the synod by Pope Francis, Martín Lasarte Topolanski,
that points out how the Amazon manipulated the church.

full essay here,

For example, the idea is that  if you believe in Catholicism you are bad:

9. The atmosphere of the Synod was fairly serene, fraternal and respectful, even though at the end some participants presented things rather dialectically. On the one hand, the Pharisee club was tied to the doctrine, frightened by the new, thus closed to the Holy Spirit; on the other hand, those who listen to the people (“sensus fidei”), without fear, are open to what is new and so are docile to the Holy Spirit… We must admire a Holy Spirit that came so well prepared and organised.

that last bit is sarcasm by the writer, of course.

Like the previous synod of the family, this Synod was carefully orchestrated with compliant bishops etc to astroturf the ideas that the Pope had decided needed to be changed in 2014.

one wonders how many of those who voted for him as Pope were aware of this agenda; indeed, the manipulation of the resignation of Benedict and the manipulation of the conclave (which is illegal by canon law) have many suggesting that this pope is not really a Pope since his election was irregular.

Yes, that has happened before, and resulted in the western Schism back in the middle ages, which is why so many bishops are remaining silent in the face of blasphemy because the alternative is to split the church.

the difference is that back then, both "popes" agreed on dogma (it was merely a political fight). But what is going on now it resembles Henry VIII and Elizabeth II taking over the church, pressuring the bishops to go along with the changes (and killing those who opposed them), and slowly morphing the church by changing dogma and ritual, because the reformers were willing to back the King/queen so they could manufacture their own church.

Except in this case, it's a NWO church being slowly built in front of our eyes.

As for the synod: If you objected to the idols and other stuff, you are racist. And note the "indigenous" theologian is from a Mexican tribe.

Why does this matter? Because tribes are not monoliths.

It reminds me of going to a shop selling "indigenous" souvenirs in Banaue here in the northern Philippines, and I found them selling an Ojibwa dreamcatcher.

why not? For the elite white newage types, who would be eagerly buying the souvenirs, all "indigenous" people look alike. (/s).

Guess what? all that confusion on what the idols stood for and what they were doing was pure gaslighting by those in charge of the synod.

Can you say "gaslighting" children? (fast forward to minute 8)



If you want a background into the pagan ritual that was done in the Vatican garden, the modern Jeremiah, crazy AnnBarnhardt, has done her homework (and gotten a lot of "headsup" emails from her readers).

Pachimama as new age ritual LINK

Link how to do a pachimama ritual at home with lots of explanation of what and who was doing this to honor the Dragon goddess of earthquakes.

LINK Part 2 of how to do a pachimama ritual at home. and headsup from some of her readers.

summary: several bishops are not amused with the insertion of an openly pagan idol worship into the "synod" and are bold enough to say so (here and here) and since some bishops openly said they would skip the closing mass if this was done, a slight of hand was done: the plant/dirt of the original ritual was substituted so that no one would recognize the pagan element was still being honored.

so voila, instead of holy idols, we have holy dirt and plants.

(of course, the ritual is of sophisticated tribes of the Andes, not of the primitive the Amazonian tribes, but no one seemed to notice this either).

Sigh.

the problem? It's almost impossible to fire /impeach the Pope. Yes, it can be done, but you would face a propaganda machines worse than the "deep state" which is using the Democratic patsies to get rid of Trump.

It's all there: if you are following the kerfuffle on the Catholic blogosphere, you will find Strawman arguments, bandwagon argument, guilt by association, black or white arguments, shifting definitions when you try to criticize something, and of course, that old standby: ad hominem attack aka name calling,

if you dare to oppose their agenda, according to the Pope's mouthpiece (Spandero) you are racist, of course .

That's they guy who tried to get the Cajun newscaster fired from EWTN.

Arroyo however refused to bow to his betters and replied:

These depictions “are factually and culturally misreading the situation,” said Arroyo, which end up “destroying or castigating or demonizing others.”

“They make the mistake of casting orthodox Catholics in America as right-wingers, players in a political plot to undo the agenda of Francis.”

“The truth is much more simple,” noted Arroyo. “American Catholics actually believe what the Church has always taught and they are loud enough and have big enough platforms to broadcast that belief.”

you mean people actually believe that nonsense? How gauche.

so where are the other voices?

I suspect they are being manipulated by lies and open falsehoods to be too confused to take a stand, or afraid to be called names if they dare associate with the crazy trads who want a pre vatican II church.

Not true, of course; I am not a trad. I am aware of the importance of culture in religious expression (or in curing the sick for that matter).

But when the Pope and bishops who are supposed to be teaching the truth spread confusion and move the goalposts whenever you object, well, maybe someone needs to recognize what is going on.

I'm sorry to post so much about what seems to be a minor religious story, but the MSM is ignoring it, and if the Catholic church is destroyed and morphed into a puppet of the NWO/UN, it will have major ramifications in the future.

update:

MsgrPope at the NCRegister has a good summary of what a lot of us are worrying about. 

One: it wasn't a true grass roots synod, but one with a stacked deck to insure the desired outcome:

Pope Francis ... seems to have learned his lessons well at previous Synods where he was publicly resisted. There was a tight leash on the proceedings and press conferences were highly scripted.

so did anyone question them about what was going on? 

Catholic reporters did a worthy job, asking often tough questions. The usual reply to these questions by the hand-picked press panel was to express surprise and outrage that such questions were even raised...

The whole process has been steeped with the jargon and ambiguity that is the hallmark of this papacy. And the ambiguity reaches to the most serious matters...

Here the writer brings up some theological areas of confusion, such as an interview where the reporter said the Pope told him he doesn't believ Jesus was God. WTF? 

. 

 Do not such wild claims that the Pope holds such views, touching on the deepest roots of our faith, deserve immediate disavowal from the Pope himself?

And here we get to the idol worship stuff: 

...Add to all this the appalling event in the Vatican Gardens, attended by the Holy Father and a number of Synod participants and fathers. There are pictures of some of them, bowing fully prostrate before a wooden statue of a naked, pregnant woman. After weeks of silence we are told by the Pope that this was not idolatry and there was no idolatrous intention. But then why did people, including priests, prostrate before it? Why was the statue carried in procession into churches like St. Peter’s Basilica and placed before altars at Santa Maria in Traspontina? And if it isn’t an idol of Pachamama (an earth/mother goddess from the Andes), why did the Pope call the image “Pachamama?”

What am I to think? And why am I not reassured by the ambiguous and contradictory statements?...

One could argue that the idol was nothing real, so respecting it was like respecting the American flag, or kissing an ancient Koran: Not an act of worship and not approving of the things done by those who revere the symbol, but showing respect for the beliefs of others who revere these symbols.

After all, in the Bible, sometimes idols are called demons, but other times they are merely called absurd things with no power at all.

But in the context of actions showing participation in a pagan rite, it suggests those who participated either were worshipping the spirit behind the idol, or else that they really don't take the idea of God seriously. As if they are saying: Hey these things are all nonsense, so who cares.

These are but three very grave matters that touch on the divinity of Christ, the First Commandment, the doctrine of hell and the very nature of Holy Orders.

God’s faithful deserve more than ambiguous and confusing replies...

 the entire summary of the synod is being published but few have read and analyzed it.

But Father Pope does summarize what a lot of us wish was in the report, but probably was not.

Pray for an apostolic exhortation that glorifies and lifts up Jesus as the only way to salvation. An exhortation that focuses not merely on a clean environment but purified souls. An exhortation that doesn’t speak of listening to the spirits of the rainforest, but of listening to Jesus, the Eternal Word of the Father. An exhortation that summons us to prayer, to the sacraments, to the Word of God and to the ancient and perennial teachings of the Church. Pray for an exhortation that casts aside Pachamama and points to Mary, who leads us to her Son!.

Amen and amen.
