In addition to the outright abominations put forth in the Synod’s already infamous Midterm Report, there are numerous flowery, and ultimately meaningless, musings such as the following:
The Gospel of the family, while it shines in the witness of many families who live coherently their fidelity to the sacrament, with their mature fruits of authentic daily sanctity must also nurture those seeds that are yet to mature, and must care for those trees that have dried up and wish not to be neglected.
The only way I can think to classify this particular style of writing, knowing that it emanated from an all-male committee of clerics, is to say that it is nothing more than pseudosacral homopoetic prose; an especially annoying symptom of the undeniable feminization of the Church Militant that began at Vatican II.
The bishops who authored this sewage are precisely the product of that roguish council wherein it was deemed expedient for churchmen to focus, not on combating the errors that threaten the citizens of this fallen world redeemed and ruled by Christ the King who reigns victorious over all things, but on entering into consultative dialogue with every miscreant that inhabits the fairytale land they invented wherein “all things should be related to man as its center and crown.” (cf Gaudium et Spes)
Is it any wonder this same body of eunuchs has produced in the place of sacred Magisterium what is perhaps more properly understood as putrid Pornisterium such as:
Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community … Are our communities capable of … accepting and valuing their sexual orientation, without compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony? … Without denying the moral problems connected to homosexual unions it has to be noted that there are cases in which mutual aid to the point of sacrifice constitutes a precious support in the life of the partners.
Exactly what kinds of “gifts” and “qualities” are properly recognized as belonging specifically to homosexuals as opposed to any other person?
Synodal Directions: Open can; release worms, witness destruction.
How is this ludicrous statement any different than saying, “Adults who are sexually attracted to small children have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community … Are our communities capable of accepting and valuing their sexual desires?”
And why in God’s name “must” it be noted that homosexuals lend “precious support” to their gay den mates? Says who?
Ramblings such as these are so utterly devoid of even the appearance of truth that they merit comment mainly just for the sheer sport of it. Play ball!
Look, the wheels didn’t come off the cart on Monday; they’ve been off for five decades. The Synod is simply doing exactly what I had hoped it would do; namely, it is howling like a wolf, and in so doing hopefully helping the ignorant and the stubborn alike come to terms with the reality of the crisis at hand.
This longed-for awakening of the masses isn’t going to happen overnight, but fast approaching is the day of reckoning wherein each and every one who calls himself Catholic is going to have to stand up in the face of the Bergoglian revolt and be counted as either with Our Lord, or with Generalissimo Humilde and his cadre of militant modernists.
Cardinal Burke is standing up, and I fully expect him to do so all the more in the weeks and months ahead.
In an interview with Catholic World Report, His Emnence said:
The debate on these questions has been going forward now for almost nine months, especially in the secular media but also through the speeches and interviews of Cardinal Walter Kasper and others who support his position. The faithful and their good shepherds are looking to the Vicar of Christ for the confirmation of the Catholic faith and practice regarding marriage which is the first cell of the life of the Church …In my judgment, such a statement is long overdue.
Pope Francis has already weighed in loudly and clearly on Cardinal Kasper’s “profound and serene theology,” and that, of course, is one of the primary reasons why the Fraternity of Finocchi are so boldly proclaiming their wicked ideas.
As an aside, the clerical enemies of the Church that are driving the current debate have been around for a very long time. They were most certainly crawling on their bellies in the shadows of Rome at the time of Pope St. Pius X, even if not in such number and rank as they exist today.
Who can imagine for even a moment this truly Holy Father sitting silent as the bishops publicly set about calling into question the immutable doctrines of the faith as they are today?
The indisputable fact of the matter is that Pope Francis is not only silently allowing this travesty to unfold, he is actively encouraging it.
One wonders if the so-called “conservative” voices in Catholic media, the same who have a long track record of publicly revering Cardinal Burke even as they refuse to acknowledge the tremendous damage being done to the Church at the hands of Pope Francis, will now be willing to emulate His Eminence in issuing their own public call for a “long overdue” papal statement reaffirming Catholic faith and practice.
Surely that isn’t too much to ask, is it?
No, my sons! For it is not a good report that I hear. You make the Lord’s people transgress. If one man sins against another, God will judge him. But if a man sins against the Lord, who will intercede for him?
1Samuel 2:24-25
Pope Francis statement: Who am I to teach?
In our secularized, factional times this Synodal agitprop runs the risk of burying the most important statement ever to emanate from the Vatican:
“God does not exist. Do not be shocked!”
If this statement – as well as the barrage of Bergoglian bombshells exemplified in the link below – receives no response from the Church I fear she will not merit the graces necessary to successfully defend the natural law.
Surely we must put God and the Creed first.

Perhaps the best commentary I have come across today
http://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/articles/item/1138-the-secret-synod-does-what-we-expected-evil
What is God spray???
Bishop Athanasius Schneider warned that the Synod would show just how deep the Crisis is. The Crisis has been there all along, as Traditionalists know already.
Pope Francis is a Modernist, and I think that he and his Modernist friends in the Vatican have been planning this for quite awhile, maybe even before Pope Francis was elected (just my opinion). Didn’t he announce the synod just a few months after he was elected? Bishop Athanasius Schneider also said that there may be a Schism, but I have to wonder who exactly will leave the Church if there’s Schism? The Modernists aren’t going anywhere, since they are emboldened by thier Modernist leader, the Pope.
I think that ultimately tradition will prevail, and the Modernist revolution now taking place will backfire on the Modernists, but not until they have their heyday, at least for awhile. Traditionalists know where they stand regarding Church teaching, but many Catholics will not know the right thing to support, since they been fed a steady diet of peace and luv from the clergy and hierarchy for so long that they’re in a sort of trance….lost in a comfort zone where they don’t want to think too hard about anything….or be uncomfortable or inconvenienced in any way at all. They just want an easy religion, and the Modernists at the Synod are trying to make religion even easier for everyone, since the Modernists seem to believe that there’s no such thing as sin (except for the sin of being a traditionalist).
Sometimes when I see the things Bergoglio says I cannot help but think of a religion akin to Mormonism or Jehovah Witnesses. Where does he get some of the stuff he says?? Does he just make it up? Seriously, some of it is just so bizarre and so NOT Catholic.
I am impressed.
Even Ferrara has finally realised we are now entering or already in the time of the “Great Apostasy”!
Hopefully more and more people will come to this conclusion the more outrageous Rome’s filth becomes.
Who knows? Possibly from demons haunting him at night.
There is such a thing as “Perfect Possession”, when someone not only doesn’t want to be freed by demonic influences, but he has consciously agreed to be guided and to Harbor a demon (usually more than one, as in the overwhelming majority of possession/oppression cases) inside of oneself.
In the case of P.P., the patient doesn’t display the common and usual, troublesome, signs of demonic influence (violence, animalistic behaviour, fear) because there is no struglle whitin them, and the demons are happy to guide him as long as he obeys and.. is useful to them.
I heard it is fairly common for Satanists, who often consecrate their children/lives to demons, in the hope of obtaining favours.
Also apparently said demons enjoy tormenting them when they finally approach their old age (or become mortally ill), reminding them they are soon to be damned for eternity, etc.
So maybe we’ll soon see for Bergoglio.
I heard these informations from Fr. Amorth and other exorcists’ interview some time ago while researching the subject.
There is really no way of knowing what the heck he is ever saying. He contradicts himself directly in his own sentences… It’s unintelligable… It’s like he’s trying to speak in tongues or whatever the heck will spontaneously come out… I don’t know whether he’s openly denying God’s existence or trying to use extreme hyperbole to say that God is more like your buddy than an almighty being on high caricatured in ones mind. It is probably the latter… God, I hope so… and even then, it is simply dumb. Utter confusion… Francis should pray for the Holy Spirit to enlighten him to speak first before telling us what to do… Because whatever’s coming out of him in that moment is not a gift I want.
What a terrible choice of words and blasphemous-sounding rambling.
No offense, Jorge.
Yeah, even if he were attempting to use extreme hyperbole ..what he said is just so far out in left field that it makes ZERO sense. Bizarre!!
I guess we’ll have to read the Jimmy Akin article: “Did the Pope really say God does not exist?” To learn what the Pope was REALLY saying. 😉
It’s easy to see what’s going on when you understand the methodology.
This relatio is released with the intention of FRAMING the Synod.
Everything after this will be interpreted within that framework.
So by necessity, the end product of the Synod will be something vague that need interpretation. interpretation needs a framework. Everyone will get to choose.
There will be three camps –
1. Those faithful Catholics who will decry and condemn the vagaries seeing the ploy for exactly what it is.
2. Those Catholics who are faithful to the regime, not the truth, who will interpret the vagaries according to the hermeneutic of continuity to try and declare that no error has been promoted and that one only need to understand and study etc. etc.
3. Those unfaithful Catholics who will interpret it according to the spirit of the times.
4. Those unknowledgable heathens who will assume the Church changed its morality, tweet some token praise towards Francis and the Church for being pro-LGBT, and go back to watching Entertainment Tonight or whatever slop they put on TV these days.
Additionally, this could all be a liberal ploy to gradually give themselves more room to err, but first opening up the floor with outrageous demands, then bargain their way down to a compromise accommodation, the liberals leave with their happy little victory that it more than they’d otherwise have gotten, the conservatives pat themselves on the back that “hey at least it wasn’t THAT bad…” The Catholic Polyannas will sigh in relief that things didn’t go that far so we should be happy with a little disciplinary wiggle room so long as our precious infallibly defined doctrines were not touched, because see, we’re also trying to show the world the luv of the Church. So please come in and put a piece of tribute in the collection basket and join the choir and share a meal of special bread.
All the while sin and error spread, Catholics give less of a damn, many leave the Church because just why are they in it anyway? America goads the world into WWIII, and Russia remains unconsecrated. So what if the Mother of God warned us and asked us to do something so simple? So what if she is the spouse of the Holy Spirit? The heathen ‘marriages’ are just a little intermittent step below that union she has with the Holy Spirit. Who is Jesus to tell us to honor her? So what if we don’t? Who is He to judge? Why, He does not judge! Judges do not exist! Do not be shocked! He is your buddy! He is luv ! And luv means never having to say you’re sorry! Enjoy all the flesh you want! Even God’s flesh! Soon to be handed out like Halloween candy! The more devilish you look, the more you’ll get; a treat appeasement offering so that you’ll hopefully be pacified and play no harmful tricks on us.
Clergy and laity who are truly Catholic must simply walk away and find shelter in Tradition. It is time to say: “I’ve had enough and I’m not going to take this any more!”
The New Order “institution” is not Catholic in any way, shape or form. The devils are running the show. Get out!!!!!
We need a mass exodus out of the post V2 “church”. You cannot get any graces by walking in the door. They have denied the existence of sin. Save your soul. Become a crusader to claim your birthright as Baptized Catholics.
James, all you have to do is read some of the ‘theologians’ of the past 100 years, right up to Kung et al to see the language Pope Francis uses. Let us not forget John Paul II and Benedict XVI all drank at the same well.
Pope Francis is definitely a sanguine temperament. People like that can talk the hind leg off a donkey and most of what they say sounds great. The thing is most of what they say is right off the top of their heads. I know because I have all the negative traits of this temperament too!
I don’t think it’s productive to speculate on the Pope’s relationship to the evil one. He is just steeped in bad philosophy, and therefore bad theology.
What is demonic about this whole mess is its rapidity, and the silence of the lambs.
As if we didn’t know it before, today we learned why the Secret Synod was conducted in secret, with the faithful not being permitted to see the texts of the participants’ addresses or even to know which bishop or cardinal was advancing which position. The Secret Synod was conducted in secret because evil advances in shadows.
Many others, and not just traditionalists, have already expressed outrage over the disastrous “Relatio post disceptationem,” which appeared on the Vatican website today, October 13. This is the anniversary of Pope Leo’s vision of Satan’s attack on the Church (leading to his composition of the Leonine prayer suddenly abandoned after Vatican II), the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, and the derailing of the Second Vatican Council by Cardinal Liénart’s violation of the procedural rules in seizing the microphone in order to demand new drafting committees for the conciliar documents.
I can’t get over how this all came to a head on October 13th. Our Lady of Akita said that bishops would be opposing bishops. Our Blessed Mother told Sr.Lucy that the sins that offend God the most are sins of the flesh. It will be late but the Consecration of Russia will be done. Be prepared and stick with Tradition and look for the ones you can help save, otherwise shake the dust off your feet and…..
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry” Thanks for that!!! The only memorable line from a truly, truly trashy romance of a movie…and what a mantra for our times.
You’re right Barbara.
I was just saying something off the top of my head.
Anyway keep in mind demons are MASTER manipulators, and also during the Great Deception even the elect (if possible) would be deceived.
Whoever might be under Satan’s influence inside the “Church” WOULD NOT look or sound “evil” or “sinister” at all.
He would appear as innocent and nice as possible, and be praised by the world, loved by all.
Francis fits this description, true, only surpassed by John Paul II.
Benedict, while a masterful deceiver (he still got most fooled), wasn’t much of amable individual able to seduce the world, not only whatever subset of catholics.
I don’t think that will ever happen.
What I hope for, is God not holding accountable the innocent inside of the False Church, led astray by bad magisters and shepherds due to no fault of their own.
Especially old, devoted, people, who do not even have the means to inform themselves using the internet.
Just to inject a sense of reality into these proceedings, don’t these prelates recall that the Church has been beset in recent times by a scourge of homosexual pederasts in the clergy? That pederast priests have corrupted untold numbers of young catholics and have cost the Church billions in victim settlements? That these predatory priests in and of themselves have had a hand in corrupting Catholic family life? That for the synod to truly address all the ills that are besetting Catholic family life, the synod should revisit the issue of homosexual clergy to determine if enough has been done to insure that these perverts are prevented from sharing their “gifts” with Catholic youth?
–
With this as background, how can any sane prelate claim that homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer the Church? In fact, doesn’t such a claim illustrate that either the prelate is totally detached from reality or is a likely sodomite himself. In case, he is unworthy to guide his flock.
–
Further, isn’t this statement tantamount to a freudian slip? Illustrating a weakness that the liberals perceive in their own ranks? Compare traditionalist clergy with the effeminate priests that the NO in many cases turns out. Also recall the dossier regarding the homosexual collective running things in Rome. Are the members of this collective fearful the synod may veer off its preprogrammed course and put their ill deeds under the microscope?
–
I say attack where they are weakest. Remind everyone that the Church has confronted problems like this in the past. Talk unceasingly of the great work St. Peter Damian did in routing out sodomites in the clergy in the past. Make copies of his work Liber Gomorrhianus and distribute into to all the participants in the Synod. After all, if a saint and doctor of the Church has already developed a working solution, there isn’t a need to reinvent the wheel, is there?
Here is a short discussion of St. Peter Damian’s book by Randy Engel:

http://www.ourladyswarriors.org/articles/damian1.htm
Dear Louie, we agree wholeheartedly with the idea that the more this comes out now, the better it could be for the Church.
____
There’s a lot of talk on the blogs about “possession”, “diabolical disorientation” and “lunacy” right now, and since behavoral scientists spend many hours making observations of “sick” minds, and have lists of sypmtoms for what they label “serious personality disorders”, we took a look at some of their findings.. One study of world leaders including Stalin, Mao tse Tung, Henry VIII, and Alexander the Great..claims they all showed classis symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Judging from the description, our Modernist leaders would fit right in:
__
“They typically become more and more self-assured and less and less constrained. They begin to feel invincible, attracting admirers due to enthusiasm, yet listening less and less to words of caution or advice, taking more and more risks.
____
They are not really comfortable with emotions, demanding empathy from others while lacking in genuine empathy themselves -tending to listen only for information they seek to hear at the moment. They don’t learn well from others, unless they view someone as an equal or superior being.
____
Narcissists have emotional cleverness but it is rooted more in exploitation. They know whom they can use and don’t think twice about being callously
manipulative–why the narcissist is often unlikable despite his charm, charisma and personal magnetism. He likes to dominate with speech, but his faults become ever more evident the more known he becomes. Despite this, he is still able to communicate and inspire with passion and conviction.
____
Extremely sensitive to even the slightest perceived criticism, the narcissistic leader tends to keep others at an emotional distance, building walls of isolation. Although he might say that he wants teamwork, what he really wants is a group of people who agree with him. When feeling verbally attacked, he becomes overly defensive. Preferring not to know what people think of him.. He really doesn’t care what others think unless it has become a problem, and can’t tolerate dissent -especially among those closest in command to them. He either ignores those who disagree with him or gets rid of them.”

There is a part ii to her article. Here it is:
–
http://www.ourladyswarriors.org/articles/damian2.htm
Today CNS ran an interview with Cardinal Archbishop Dolan regarding the African Bishops. Everyone needs to see this:
–
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlCVrC2C16Y
–
First off, note how thoroughly surprised the Cardinal is to come face to face with living, breathing faith – with men willing to stand up for the teachings of Our Lord in the face of real threat to life and limb. No one has pointed it out yet, but I can’t keep myself from highlighting the incredibly damning admission the Cardinal makes around the 2:23 mark:
–
“I’m afraid sometimes we in the West might say, ‘Oh, I guess we gotta dilute things, I guess we gotta capitulate. Obviously this teaching is being rejected. Oh, my Lord, we’re not popular!’ And the African [Bishops] say, ‘Well, you know what? We’re not supposed to be!'”
–
What the Cardinal just can’t seem to get his head around is the simple fact that a great many bishops and cardinals in the West have simply LOST THE FAITH – himself included, damned by his own tongue!
Dear Louie, the negatives are pretty hard to take right now, but God Bless Catholics like Cardinal Burke, and if it helps the Church in the long run, bring it on.
-A lot more folks are joining the search for answers, and wondering online about “diabolical disorientation” and/or “insanity” as causes for the “sick minds” that are producing so much of this stuff. We came across this study done of world “leaders” like Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Henry VIII, and Alexander T.G. which concluded they all had “Narcissistic Personality Disorder”. But those aren’t the leaders that come to mind when we read it:
__
“They typically become more and more self-assured and less and less constrained. They begin to feel invincible, attracting admirers due to enthusiasm, yet listening less and less to words of caution or advice, taking more and more risks.
____

Your comment strongly suggests that you have never understood mainstream Traditionalism – i.e., the SSPX and those affiliated with them, loosely or strongly. I say that because the notion that this crisis is the greatest the Bride of Christ has ever faced, and likely the foretold great apostasy itself, has been brandied by such men, including Mr. Ferrara, all along.
—–
Perhaps you should read dogmatic sede vacantists a bit less and rid yourself of their caricatures. Cheers.
@Matthew: I’m pretty sure Cardinal Dolan need only walk down to 128 W. 37th St. to find living, breathing faith. He doesn’t have to go all the way to Africa! The faith exhibited by the people at that address isn’t popular either! The only question is why Cardinal Dolan himself is playing the role of Boko Haram in Manhattan with respect to the faithful who attend mass at that address!
Cyprian,
Thanks for reminding us of the obvious elephant in the room. So many donations squandered because the bishops did not reign in the pederasts and pedophiles, And now they’re putting forth more verbiage to make us feel guilty about how we make them feel. Bring back St. Damian’s book!
He also once stated plainly that the bishops – himself – were accountable for modern Catholics not living or understanding the faith. But did anything change, with him personally? Certainly not. I guess that’s diabolical disorientation for you.
I’m not that familiar with the Remnant, as I only read some articles, maybe you can link us all the copious references to the Great Apostasy currently happening via the Vatican II organisation, by Ferrara&staff?
Or maybe from SSPX official sources.
Thank you.
That’s exactly my point. When people in the West attempt to live the Faith, they’re “self-absorbed promethean Neo-Pelagians.” When Africans do the same thing, they’re “prophetic, inspirational, counterculteral.”
Man… that guy… I honestly believe he’s a two faced Janus. He’ll tell whomever precisely what they want to hear depending on the company he’s in.
I believe there’s suitable evidence that a hijack has taken place and the entire Synod is all a farce!
Rorate put up an update questioning how a 6,000 page document was ready in multiple translations within a day?
Now Michael Voris is reporting in an update from Rome, that NONE of the Bishops at the Synod, ever got to read the document. It was given to the Press first! They never saw it!
It’s CLEAR WHAT’S HAPPENING here gentlemen!
There is already a pre-ordained outcome to the Synod!
The Bishops were simply gathered there, and are having their voices censored, in order to give AN APPEARANCE that a Synod is taking place! They’re basically just being suckered into a show of false collegiality! I bet Pope Francis already has his Exhortation written up and approved by Weurl and Kasper. He can’t wait to show us the surprises ‘The Lord’ has in store!
Voris is right! Now that Cardinal Burke is calling on the Pope to speak up, it’s make or break it time for this Papacy! A defining moment is upon us! And for Michael Voris’ sake, a defining moment is coming for him too, as what Pope Francis says may determine whether CMTV will continue its campaign of tiptoeing around the Pope. Though I’m guessing Francis could remain silent throughout the Synod so that confusion continues to reign.
A 6,000 page mid-term report prepared with translations within a day, which is unprecedented for the normally slow Vatican apparatus, combined with what CMTV now reports is the fact that it was released to the press first without the bishops ever getting a chance to read what was in it, with an imposed censorship on their discussions… something stinks!
This is like the American Patriot Act and Obamacare all in one. We need to sign off on it and make it law before reading anything… It’s the United States political process at work!

The FALSO SATANIC SYNOD OF SIN.
Unfortunately Louie, it’s not working: “… it is howling like a wolf, and in so doing hopefully helping the ignorant and the stubborn alike come to terms with the reality of the crisis at hand.” I just read Fr. Barron’s Take A Deep Breath piece, a bromide, a Zen moment, minimizing the grave concerns by pro-life Catholics and clergy around the world. It’s just a little heresy folks, pay no attention to those men behind the curtain. But don’t worry, be happy because “it’s not binding.” As you can see, the Novus Ordo crowd and the Opus Dei are hell-bent on excusing error to the point of denying Christ. It will take a miracle to get them back. It’s very sad.
When Padre Pio was suffering from unjust persecution from the Church hierarchy, he said something about Satan being able to twist the minds of clever men. I think that this is true of the hierarchy today, and especially the Pope, even if he’s not possessed (I don’t think he is). I think, too, that the Pope and his Modernist buddies believe that they are doing the right thing.
I think that the Sedevacantists are going to have a field day with the latest scandal with the synod. But they’ll just endlessly complain about Francis not being a true Pope, which leads to complacency. We have to do more than complain – like pray (yes, even for the Pope), and possibly send letters and emails to the Vatican (or something like that). If I lived in Rome, I would try to protest by praying outside of the door of the synod building. What would St Athanasius do in a situation like this? Well, I would think that at the very minimum he would take some kind of action, like Louie has done with this blog. I wish that we could do more.
The DICI piece is good, but notice that Pope Francis isn’t mentioned at all. The SSPX, nowadays, is no different from Michael Voris when it comes to not saying anything negative about the Pope (The SSPX is of course more traditional than Michael Voris, but the SSPX haven’t any teeth anymore, as they did in the days when ABL was still alive. What would ABL have thought of the Synod? I think that he would have had strong words for the Pope, since he cared most of all about Truth, and not of what others in the conciliar Church thought of him). I’m not an adherent of the SSPX, but I’m glad that Louie is telling it like it is, and not following the lead of Michael Voris or the SSPX.
A lot of Lay Catholics feel very very let down by the contents of these documents, if the people I have spoken to are any indication. Several of the NO Catholics I have talked with since the Relatio was published have told me that the contents of that document directly contradict their understanding of church teaching. People aren’t fools. They know that the document is heretical.
They know too that the excuse given for the release of the document with it’s words about cohabitation and homosexuality, was balderdash.
The question is what lies ahead? Schism? Perhaps, although I think it unlikely.
@Mary Regina,
Where do you see “Opus Dei…hell-bent on excusing error to the point of denying Christ?” Can you provide a reference?
Thanks.
The Church is loaded with homos, and this Synod (nod-to-sin) is their coming-out party.
It seems that people brush aside my comments, but I sincerely believe that if 100 or 1000 or more people joined my painless campaigns (letters to the BORF–inexpensive, and since Monday, Twitter comments—free!) it would allow us in non-influential positions to still be heard. Numbers DO speak!
Mary,
I missed your comment about writing letters to BORF. What is BORF? I don’t have Twitter, so I can’t participate in that, but would like to know more.
Denise, I started a letter-writing campaign a few months back, to the Pope (BORF–bishop of Rome Francis, per Fr. A who occasionally comments here). I grow tired of feeling like I can’t do anything. By writing a weekly letter to the Pope (it’s very brief—his address, ‘dear Pope Francis’, a one-sentence message about upholding the Church’s teachings on whatever topic he has stirred up that week, then my name, address and telephone). I know he won’t call because of the English language, but it shows I’m in earnest. I spend about 55c /week on postage. This week I opened a Twitter account only for critiquing the Pope on the week’s topic in one short sentence. It was easy! I just think if 1000 people wrote actual letters each week, they would be noticed! And we would make our voices heard. When Catholic Family News asked this week for people to contact the office of the Nuncio in their country, I emailed him, and also called, and emailed again. I figure it can’t hurt to state my complaint. And I rest much easier by knowing I’ve done something. And it is short, sweet, painless.
Thanks for asking. I wrote on the Forum about it a couple of months ago.
