But there is no another Gospel: there are only any people who sow confusion among you and who would like to twist the Gospel of Christ. But if we or an angel from heaven preach to you a gospel different from that which We have preached to you, let him be cursed. (Ga 1.7-8).
Elders, therefore, who are among you, I pray thee, besides the elder, and the witness of Christ's sufferings, and the partaker of this glory which is to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God which is with you, guarding him not under compulsion, but by his own will, as God wills; not for evil gains, but with devotion; and not as those who oppress the communities, but as surviving examples for the flock. (1P 5, 1-3)
The finale of the alleged synod about synodity is coming, which can have a strong influence on the life of the Church. Therefore, this event should be carefully watched.
The Synod of Synodality is simply a threat to the proclamation of Christ’s teaching and the Church established by him. First of all, it undermines the hierarchical structure of the Church by granting the secular same voting rights as bishops, adapting it more to the Protestant or even secular model. Bishops participate in the synod by virtue of their office, holding together with the pope collegiate work for the full Church. If seculars participate with the right to vote, then it is no longer the Synod of Bishops and a ecclesiastical conference, which has no apostolic authority to teach the College of Bishops.
I even say that this is not about democratic postulates and voting on them, but about the usage of the voting method to push through their postulates, under the impression that the majority wants to do so and accept as an expression of the will of the people. Voting on Jesus' teaching is unacceptable, for the Church is to preach what Jesus has given to his disciples and what is written in the Scriptures and passed on by Tradition, not to effort to change them. But even in the way of preparing and conducting the synod of synodism there is large manipulation, due to the fact that it does not truly reflect the will of the majority of the faithful Church. The vast majority of believers have a sound sense of faith, and those who want to blur the teaching of the Church are aware of it and know that they would not usually accomplish it. So they must hotel to deception, as at the Second Vatican Council and after it is completed.
The following mechanisms of deception can be noted: people who want to change things take part in the preparation of documents, people who are specially selected to edit documents, which warrant that they will fulfil all orders of management of this event. And it should be noted that of the more than 400 participants in the final part of this meeting, a tiny group are those nominated by Pope Francis, and among them, as Vatican observers indicate, are those who want to loosen the teaching and moral requirements of the Church (e.g. Fr.J. Martin).
This leads to the danger that has become a part of modern societies. In Christian countries, first of all, specified changes were made to the electoral regulations to destruct Catholic representatives or not to follow religion in voting. It was then recognised that representatives elected to legislative bodies could vote on God’s laws and deny reality. And so they decided that they would decide on the right to life, about what is household and what is not, etc. And now gathered on the Synod of Synodality, they may want to find what the Church is to teach, regardless of what Jesus gave to his Church in the Gospels and through Tradition.
The Church does not be to redefine the doctrine of faith, but to safe the deposit of religion which was handed over to us by our Lord through the apostles, saints and martyrs. All attempts to change the actual message of the Gospel must be categorically rejected as detrimental to the Bride of Christ and its individual members. There is no another way to salvation than Jesus Christ and His Church; about God's establishment of the Eucharist; about the sanctity and indissolubleness of marriage; about the inviolability of the dignity of human life; about the sinfulness of sexual acts outside marriage; about the relativism and spiritual indifference being heresy; about the essential dimension of Christian life—martinity. In the coming weeks and months, many of these truths will be questioned within the Synod of Synodality. We must hold fast to these truths and beware of all attempts to preach the alternate Gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as to proclaim the religion that speaks of dialog and brotherhood, forgetting the fatherhood of God (John Strickland).
In turn Archbishop H. Aguer notes the synodic proximity of Rome to Agenda 2030. The Holy See should condemn this agenda as opposed to Christian anthropology and natural order. Agenda 2030 pushes on countries to accept abortion or pathological sexual education, where children are taught the worst perversions. The Pope and the Synod should profethically condemn Agenda 2030: specified a reaction would be truly prophetic, it would be an apostolic expression of vigilance and designation of evil in a globalistic program. Instead, synodity leads to “the praise of sin and perverse tolerance that sympathizes with it.”
Fr. Card. Raymond Burke believes that either the synod will stay faithful to the doctrine, with a clear message of the deposit of faith, or it is better not to happen at all. – In fact, it has no clear thought what synodality is. This is surely not a sign of the Church. The signs of the Church are: one, holy, Catholic and apostolic. The deficiency of clarity of the teaching conveys confusion that threatens to divide within the community of believers. And he adds: My individual prayer to our Lord all day is that in any way he will not make the synod take place, due to the fact that I cannot sincerely see any good that would come out of it.
Even in specified a hard situation, 1 should not break hands: 1 should pray for the pope and bishops to preserve the deposit of religion and strengthen the brothers in the faith. And let us stand firm on the Tradition and stand for the unchanging fact which Jesus Christ has given to the Church. Let us not accept the changed teaching, but let us proceed with what the Church and faithful shepherds taught for centuries.
I encourage you to perceive to the card sermon. R. Sarah: The Church's crisis is simply a crisis of religion in Jesus' presence in the Eucharist:
