[Mrs. Don-o]

Thanks for the ping, lightman. I just realized --- I mean, how dense I must be, but just realized today -- that this endless round of "synods" and "youth meetings" and so forth, convened by the Francis machine, are in fact using the Delphi Technique to conjure the appearance that the Church is "getting input from the faithful" and following the Sensus Fidelium when in fact it is enthralled by the Spiritus Mundi.

OK, I'm not totally stupid. I've been aware since, say, 2014 that there was blatant sleight-of-hand and fakery going on in the Synods. But it's just today that I remembered that there's a many-decades-old small-group-psychology technique for doing that, called the Delphi Technique, which is what the Francis machine has been following to the letter.

I recommend everybody google keywords

Delphi Technique Manipulate

and get up to speed on what's happening here.

I'm kicking myself for not realizing this before.

Lord Jesus, rescue your Bride.

The Boy Scouts used the Delphi Technique to manipulate the local troops into appearing to favor homosexuality in 2013. They held a whole round of meetings and focus groups. The one I attended evidenced just these techniques.

Being a Germanic former Lutheran I prefer the epithet Zeitgeist ("the spirit of the age") but irrespective of language or label the evil is the same.

[ClearCase_guy]

Yes. I’ve seen churches use the Delphi Technique before. Very disheartening. The serpent in action. Lies and deception aimed at drawing people away from Truth. Terrible.

It seems like the flurry of focus groups, with a variety of labels, are a pretext for future negative changes.

Thanks for sharing this. I’ll check it out. Facinating and scary.
