Grescham's law: Synodality pushes out good Christians

A lot of folks watched when the Anglican bishop crowned King Charles III.

But while he was busy strutting his stuff, did the press notice that his policies are chasing many believers from the church (not including of course those who just see the church believes in nothing, so why bother to pay attention to it) 

GetReligion quotes the Anglican bishops of Africa correcting the oh so very politically correct head of the British Anglican church, saying 

“We have no confidence that the Archbishop of Canterbury nor the other Instruments of Communion led by him … are able to provide a godly way forward that will be acceptable to those who are committed to the truthfulness, clarity, sufficiency and authority of Scripture," warned the Global Anglican Future Conference, which met April 17-21 in Kigali, Rwanda. GAFCON IV drew 1,302 delegates from 52 nations, including 315 bishops.


Welby will try to finagle around charges of heresy, and rejecting the ten commandments in favor of the latest perversion pushed by the twittermob trendy mentality... this is nothing new in the Anglican church.

But the important part of this is the statement:

(Leaders who) are able to provide a godly way forward that will be acceptable to those who are committed to the truthfulness, clarity, sufficiency and authority of Scripture.

For Catholics, we would say: acceptable to those commited to the truth and the beliefs of tradition for about 2000 years (3200 years, if you include the ten commandments).

Grescham's law states that bad money drives out good. Meaning that if you debase the coinage, the good money will be diverted (hoarded or melted down but not used in circulation).

This is an observation of why a lot of Catholics are leaving the trendier than thou churches for churches that actually believe in God.

I mean, doing social work etc is fine: But you have to start with personal reform. And stressing social work as the only way to be a Catholic ignores the people whose holiness is found in the deeds of ordinary life: being faithful to one's spouse, caring for children, praying for each other, etc. 

The so called little way of St Therese, where you do ordinary things with love as a prayer. Because it is easy to go out and feel self righteous demonstrating for the cause of the day: It's a bit harder to change the diaper of your kid in the middle of the night, or clean up the garbage left behind after the riots.

So now the big thing for Catholics is the synod on synodality, (what ever that means). But what it seems to mean is to get the well organized and well funded Catholic left take over these meetings, while ordinary Catholics who have a life and have stopped being active in "parish work" run by these types, already know their concerns are not welcome.

They can use fake meetings with prechosen outsiders who don't want to follow Christ but want to change the church (read hijack the church institututions) all they want to, pretending they are "welcoming" outsiders (read those who have a political agenda to take over and change the church) but in reality they are driving out "those who are committed to the truthfulness, clarity, sufficiency and authority of scripture (and tradition).""

Those bent on reforming (deforming some might say) the Catholic church figure that Catholics will just obey, and if they don't, they will be sidelined and told it is wrong to criticize the pope (tell that to Catherine of Sienna or St Athanasius).

But this movement in the Anglican church is a warning to the Vatican that believers are being sidelined by the StGallen mafia takeover of the Vatican to reform it (read destroy dogma, moral rules, and belief in God) will simply stay quiet, or maybe even leave the church.


 Because these synodality meeting are about hearing the objections of people who don't like to hear that hard stuff about not boinking your neighbor's wife, or not killing your unborn child, or in places like the Philippines, reminding people not to take drugs, or take bribes, or steal money meant to be used for public works.

Such things are not acceptable to those who see the church's mission is to provide a godly way forward that will be acceptable to those who are committed to the truthfulness, clarity, sufficiency and authority of Scripture  the traditions of the Christian church for two thousand years

update: One reason that the Pope hasn't been thrown out is one: He says stuff the MSM/ NWO and the so called reformers like, and Two: He does say stuff that is in line with Catholic dogma, although often what is reported is distorted, so a lot of people give him the benefit of the doubt.

So he says A and it's correct. But then he informally says B and lets heretical bishops push B without correcting them, confusing the ordinary Catholic. 

Here is an example: Most secular reports on the Pope's visit to Hungary seem to be about letting in Muslim refugees, and not much else. 

But this report by Hungary's ambassador to the Vatican, points out that the Pope actully praised Hungary for their help with the huge number of Ukrainian refugees. 

And he also notes that Pope Francis gave a strong condemnation of transgender agenda, something that resulted in the is silencing all and sundry in the US and Europe.  

But give it time, and he will say something like "who am I to judge" (which was a comment about a pederast), and the press will shout it from the rooftops that the church will change it's rules.
