I am not shamed to admit that I am a traditional Catholic…

As a “trad” as many people refer to me as, it is important to remember some key elements. When learning theology you can’t use the clips and phrases found on News media (both secular and Catholic) as your end all be all. I have been keeping up with the most recent synod…to see the current reactions and stretches that have been made have been appalling. Linked on the post I have the direct Vatican source as well as a unbiased (as far as I am able to discern) video going over the most recent dubias. The behavior and reactions of those who seemingly hold the title of Catholic is sickening at their ability to scorn and denounce the Pope over wicked lies and false information.

As Catholics we must submit to and pray for our Holy See!

We are not called to ‘like’ him or think he is the best Pope to ever grace our history, but remember what our Bible says…

Romans 5:8 “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

Matthew 25:40 “The King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me”

But I continue, we are called to love and support each other. Everyone knows the phrase “love the sinner hate the sin” and although I do not believe that the Pope is the sinner in this situation it reminds us that we are all fallen and are trying to live like Saints, so listen to the words of the man trying to guide us and make prudent decisions when listening…

i think what people don't realize is that the current pope did meet with catholic intersex and catholic trans people during the october synod, so catholic intersex and trans people exist (even when the pope will be carefully bigoted about it), and while im not catholic anymore it's not exactly the gender-religion contradiction "this film is unrealistic and hilarious because catholics are incapable of change" some people make it out to be

"In March 2013, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio gave a short speech to the assembled Cardinals before the conclave wherein he described his vision for a Church that was far less “self-referential”. He instead sought a Church serious about reading the signs of the times and responding to them with pastoral creativity and fervor.

But what has become of this vision over eleven years later?

The Synod on Synodality, one of the capstone projects of this papacy, is a very self-referential set of processes now three years in the making. Furthermore, this exercise is not only an exercise in self-referentiality, but it is also a distraction from the true pastoral needs of our time. It is a wasted moment when there are so few moments that can afford to be so wasted in the current cultural crisis."

Literature connected to Whitby:

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Marmion by Sir Walter Scott (sort of—he took the abbey's name and its founder's and transferred them to Lindisfarne)

The Ecclesiastical History of the English People by the Venerable Bede (the Synod of Whitby is the climax of the history's third volume)

Caedmon's Hymn (probably the oldest surviving English poem, composed at Whitby)

#OTD in 1642 – A Catholic confederacy (‘the Confederation of Kilkenny’) is instituted to administer Catholic-controlled parts of the country pending a final settlement.

The Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland held a national synod at Kilkenny in Leinster to discuss ways of controlling the Irish Uprising and of achieving national unity against the Protestant invaders. With representatives of the native Irish nobility and the Catholic “Old English” aristocracy in attendance, an alternative government for Ireland was proposed. Asserting their loyalty to King Charles,…

A WARNING AGAINST SYNODALITY, THE SYNODAL PATH & THE SYNODAL CHURCH

[apesoformythoughts]

"This pontificate is marked by a deep bifurcation, if not an open contradiction, between what it says and what it does. It talks big about synodality and collaboration and listening, but then does whatever it wants in largely old-fashioned, non-synodal, autocratic ways. And all it is going to do is breed more cynicism, more division, and more rejection of the so-called synodal way as at best an irrelevance and at worst a Trojan Horse for progressive causes."

Archbishop Chaput Offers Advice to the Synod on Synodality ‘The Church belongs to Jesus Christ,’ he underscored.

"Referring to the theme of the gathering in Rome, “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission,” the archbishop emeritus explained that “‘communion’ is not a matter of shared opinion but shared faithfulness to truth received.”

“‘Participation’ is the task of bending our own wills to that truth. And ‘mission’ is the pursuit of Our Lord’s Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20): not simply being leaven in the world, as vital as that is, but making disciples of all nations,” he wrote."

… “Jesus was crucified precisely because he did not conform or accommodate, but rather bore witness to his Father,” he said, noting that when he “accompanied the disciples on the road to Emmaus, he directed them to the Scriptures and the truth … and it was only then that they recognized him.”
