Synodal Happy Places
At this year’s upcoming World Youth Day in Madrid (June 6-12), they are yanking the outdoor confessionals and replacing them with casual outdoor booths dubbed “listening centers” that could pass for confessionals but that will be used for ‘lay counseling.’
Each booth is to be occupied by two lay people, one a counselor and one a listener, with the counselor being trained to subvert his or her listener with modernist ideology. The implication is that lay counselors can now replace priests in counseling the faithful. With this empowerment of the laity, we see the Leninist clenched fist being applied in an ecclesial context.
The listening booths, dubbed Synodal Happy Places, also serve to erase from peoples’ minds the need for penance and sacramental Confession. It is a deliberate mockery to advance today’s clerical Marxist agenda of making fun of religion.
Infidelity
Our Catholic bishops and priests are called to renounce synodality and to return to the way of penance, sacrifice, and prayer. Unfortunately, the Spouse of Christ today behaves like a harlot flaunting herself before other religions and their idols. After Vatican II, she began casting off her wedding veil and flirting with the world to the end that we see the women of the Church throwing off their head coverings and flirting with strangers while snubbing their husbands. Infidelity has become the new order of the day, which is what the synodal way is all about – a way that started at Vatican II.
St. Mary Magdalene had the goodness and decency to reject her adulterous ways and to come to Christ with a sincere and contrite heart, so the bishops should learn to follow her lead. On this sublime Feast of Pentecost, may God the Holy Ghost enlighten the clergy to do just that.
1. That is, the clergy at large. There are still good and loyal priests who adhere to doctrine and tradition.
