*Updated to correct the Barnhardt quote.
One of my hometown papers (that’s an archaic broadside people used to read to gather information) ran a lovely piece today about the Synodal Survey Soundings of the Sodo-Synodal Synod on Synoding.
First lines usually set the tone and this one was no joke.
“Reach out to the marginalized, ordain women, engage the youth.”
I don’t like to waste time – mine or yours. Let’s cut through the bullshit. I’ll re-write it for you.
“We haven’t been inside a Catholic church, let alone practiced a scintilla of the faith since water was poured on our heads in infancy. Why isn’t the Church, like, more with the times, yo?”
In other words, the synod-goers want a Catholic Church that ISN’T Catholic. That wasn’t so hard, was it?
They want women’s orders, lay-run everything, abortion, contraception, sex, sex, sex, free stuff, more sex only as bizarre as possible this time, and general faggotry busting out all over. Thank you, no. These things are not Catholic. And I won’t apologize for saying it, nor for my tone in saying it. To quote Ann Barnhardt, “I want my Church back, you sonofabitch!”
Let’s see. They want to think of themselves as Catholic but not actually be Catholic. I think we call that the Protestant heresy.
Did someone say antichurch?
It sounded like someone said antichurch?
God in heaven, have mercy on us!
*The original version of this post misquoted Miss B. as “Give me back my Church, you sonofabitch,” instead of the correct version: “I want my Church back, you sonofabitch.” Apologies to Miss B.
