Amazon Synod Is Exploitation Of The Poor Masquerading As The Opposite

The Amazon Synod has convened. The game is on. It is a cheap confidence game, one that only a debased Vatican could summon. The comedy of hierarchs endorsing middlebrow eco-religion is outdone entirely by the tragedy of it.

Non-Catholics have good reason to pay attention to the month-long Synod of Bishops for the Amazon region just begun in Rome. An appointed advisory body, it was created to address a two-fold agenda: theologically significant issues (i.e., priestly celibacy) alongside facile environmentalist dogma. It is this second, more covert, ideological stance with far-ranging ramifications that concerns everyone.

Catholic media will have much to say over days and weeks to come about proceedings. Charges of heresy and apostasy will run parallel to high-sounding appeals to social justice and what the Instrumentum laboris calls “prophetic proclamation.” Proceedings will be combed, parsed, X-rayed from all angles. All except one: the fundamental dishonesty and intellectual poverty of the entire enterprise.

How did all of Francis' native Amazonians get to Rome? By canoes or via those cursed fossil fuels?

Everyone,
Pray the Holy Rosary so that this Amazon and other synods to not succeed.

Stick with the basic Church, in other words.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++AND

Pray the Rosary daily for the demise of the Amazon and other synods.

If praying the Rosary kept the Moslems out of Europe, it should work here, too.
