Vigano: “What We Are Now Seeing is the Triumph of a 60-year-old Plan”

Father Morello:

I fear a fragmented, only-partial adoption of the Amazon Synod agenda Churchwide. In fact, I think such a development is the worst possible result and indeed, sadly, WILL be the result.

It's like this: If the AS Instrumentum Laboris served as a clear and decisive outline for future "policies" {isn't that what one calls the plans of a future wholly-secular institution?}, then many among the priesthood and prelature would in fact resist. However, I do not believe that will occur, that is, neither the adoption of the entire scope of the IL policy NOR, alas, resistance. In fact, many are probably Ho-Humming right now, placing little emphasis on the AS at all, drumming up yet again the mantra that "Church teaching cannot change" and "Synods are not Magesterial teaching" anyhow, missing, yet again, that PRACTICALLY many teachings have changed through outright public disagreement or silence whereby the teaching atrophies into effective non-existence.

What I think will occur is that the AS will end and a final report will be issued which will outline a radical, new, anti-Christian agenda, but one couched in softened terms, that is, in terms that many leaders will accept thru self-justifying, mental gymnastics which allows them to pretend to be Christian while tacitly allowing all those over whom they serve to go on to use as "the teaching of the Church" any new doctrines supposedly cooked up by the AS which will of course involve the advancement of a pagan pseudo-Gospel. Witness the absurd "eloquent ambiguity" doctrine put forth by the USCCB vis a vis the Pope's error on the death penalty.

As I've posted here many times, what I see functionally in the Catholic Church is Anglicanism, whereby all supposedly-Christian doctrines including the whole panoply of Protestant beliefs {but at times, NOT including age-old Catholic doctrines...} may exist under the Big Tent of "Catholicism". Now, with the AS, we are poised to add flat-out pagan beliefs to the mix.

Resistance must occur...but how? WE can live lives of faith, but the direction of the Church, and the message thus presented, is governed not but just the faithful, but by the leadership.

Yes Rod if it passes. Unfortunately we have deadly silence by Hierarchy except for the few, most behave like Zombies unable to think for themselves and defend the true faith their very Apostolic commission. Your suggestion seems likely that it will piecemeal and eventually spread like an infection. We have solid ground on the Rock who is Christ to stand and fight. He will never abandon us and be assured the greater trust we have in his goodness the more beyond our expectations he will strengthen and protect. If all this come to pass we will be his select witnesses.
