A major story being ignored (or maybe I should say reported but in a biased way) is that the Pope is sick, and if he remains sick, retired, or dies, that this could result in at implosion of the Catholic church.
The bad news is that some bishops placed in positions of power by the last three popes are not good Catholics (and one suspects they were placed there by a Vatican bureaucracy that wants changes)
In the meanwhile, Pope Francis (or probably his minions) are pushing a synodality scam that resembles the meeting we had to attend in the 1960s, which are being promoted as a way to get everyone's opinons but in reality were reeducation meetings.
The bad news is that this is reported in the press as if the average catholic agreed with them.
The good news is that this scheme is imploding by pushback by the least likely people.
How bad it is? Well, even the very liberal/ecology minded/ liberation theology loving bishops in the Philippines are upset because they found their synodality conference was infiltrated by the Freemasons.
The article is from one of "Catholic news agencies", and never quite explains the problem and instead defends the Freemasons. But this ignores that most Yanks are easy going Scots freemasons, most of whom belonged to the local churches, and didn't see an established church as evil, whereas in the Philippines the Masons are from the European branches that hated organized religion and so are anti Catholic, influencing the elites to see the church as corrupt and anti freedom.. But if you are into theology, this EWTN News article has the nuances of the theological problems for you.
America's toleration of religion is based on the Scots Freemasonic idea that all religions are good and brotherhood overrides dogma. And indeed, this idea has been pushed in the Catholic church after Vatican II.
But like all ideas, which are benign when practiced by people of good will, it becomes rabid when pushed by radicals who have another agenda.
And in the USA today, tolerance has morphed to being called intolerant if you object to men in the ladies' room or having drag queen story hours for children (paid for by your taxes), or promoting the ethics of the gender revolution on your eight year old kids in public school that goes against the understanding of sexuality believed by most churches, mosques, or even biology students.
For Catholic Christians, in today's world the agenda being pushed means changing the target of the church from teaching how to live a holy life to supporting environmental issues and doing social work, and of course, pushing a gender neurtral sin free promiscuity agenda on the church that undermines marriage and the family.
We see this with the German synod, which is widely publicized and praised in the media.
What is not publicized a lot is that a lot of African and Asian bishops are objecting to this agenda, not just in the Catholic church but in the large Anglican churches in these regions.
And not just African and Asian bishops: The Scandanavian bishops just released a letter criticizing this agenda, and explaining why. From Magister's blog:
The fact is that this confused noise of battle is drowning out the true and profound anthropological and biblical reasons in support of the Christian vision of sexuality. To the point that those who try to explain these reasons with competence and composure seem to be saying something unheard of, extraordinary, finally new and revelatory, whether one agree with it or not. This is a bit of the feeling one gets in reading the “Pastoral Letter on Human Sexuality” that the bishops of Scandinavia circulated among their faithful today, on this fifth Sunday of Lent.
the entire letter is at the link, but is nuanced so don't expect sound bites.
So the good news is that the plans of the NWO takeover of Catholicism to make a PC church is getting some push back.
and has the tipping point been reached in the USA with the trans craze?
The trans craze is still pushed in the US press as good, and if you object or point out problems, you are told to follow the science (well, why not? It worked for Covid restrictions).
But the problem is that it is an agenda, not science: Which is why the Scandanavians have started becoming cautious about treating immature and emotionally unstable people indiscriminatly. LINK
The Karolinska Hospital’s new policies echo a growing international concern over the proliferation of medical interventions that have a low certainty of benefits, while carrying a significant potential for medical harm. The latest policy issued by the Karolinska cites the UK NICE evidence review , which found the risk / benefit ratio of hormonal interventions for minors highly uncertain; the 2020 UK judicial review , which highlighted the overarching ethical problems with the practice of medical "affirmation" of minors; as well as Sweden's own Health and Technology Assessment (SBU) evidence review conducted in 2019, which found a lack of evidence for medical treatments, and a lack of explanation for the sharp increase in the numbers of adolescents presenting with gender dysphoria in recent years.,,,,,,
again, who is attending these meetings? and why are the Germany bishops given publicity but not the African bishops, who are the ones who are promoting the importance of the family. From the Wanderer. LINK
For the sake of space, I shall end this portion of the commentary with a beautiful insight by Cardinal Sarah and thereby also recommend to others that they should read and savor the entire book: “Either we choose the way that leads us to God — and it is the narrow way of which Christ speaks — or else we take the broad way of the world that leads us away from God,” says Sarah, reminding us that we should again and always place “God back at the center of our thoughts, at the center of our action, and at the center of our lives.”
Cardinal Sarah also sees that, along with the crisis of faith, there is also a pastoral crisis where pastors do not sufficiently teach the faith anymore. Therefore, he earnestly proposes to “revive the faith within families.”
to put this into perspective:
In much of Asia and Africa, the governments are weak and often corrupt. So the first line of protection is the family: not the nuclear family but the extended family, that includes those with close ties of friendship.
So where do you get your news about the grassroots effort to keep the Pope Catholic? Maybe with EWTN.
Of course, the founder of EWTN got in a lot of trouble with the bishops in the past, and her legacy continues:
I have read several bishops are opposing EWTN
"I would not have EWTN on diocesan media either," McElroy responded. "EWTN worries me because it represents a giant of economic and cultural power connected to a religious viewpoint that is fundamentally critical of the pope," the cardinal said.
"The main anchors of the channel constantly minimize the abilities and theological knowledge of Francis, cite Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò's slander of the pope and try to move the world away from the reforms the pope is signaling," said McElroy.,,,
McElroy said that Francis has encountered so much opposition because of his "intention of completing the work of the Second Vatican Council," as well as his "constant inclusion of the experiences and spiritual points of view of the Global South at the center of the life of the church."
the Global South? Obviously this doesn't mean the actual Christians in the Global south, but his idea of the Global south, where Asians and Africans obey him because of his white privlege (/s).
as for banning EWTN: this ignores that it is available both on shortwave, on some small AM stations in the USA, and over the internet.
If you are wondering why EWTN is being made the enemy, it could be because the Papal Posse segments dare to speak the truth to power.
