The Synodal Way to hell.

The latest of the continuing assaults on the Catholic Church, by Catholics.

Reader GWR kindly sent your Tatler a link to a superb self-described polemic by retired Prof. Dr Larry Chapp of deSales University in his blog Gaudiam et spes. It is noteworthy, paradoxically, for both its savagery and elegance, and the author nicely lays waste to the shallow heresies of the German bishops and their proposals in their so-called Der Synodale Weg, The Synodal Way. If passed, it will pretty much spell the end of what’s left of the German Catholic Church, which, as the author points out, is almost there already with average attendance down to two-percent.

It is not, however, only the German Church that is threatened by the innovations the bishops embrace, it is the entire Church, as church-wide, the liberal-left is at it again, as they were  in the horrendous ’70s, attempting the pushing of Holy Church into bland, broadly inclusive doctrine that promises salvation for all, whatever the hell one does in this life; judgment is an antiquated notion.

Well worth reading, this remarkable piece, which is not only entertaining, but in which the author displays fluent, yet not pedantic, use of a remarkable vocabulary.
