Synodality: An Attack on Papal Authority

We can no longer ignore this Serpent called Synodality now brazenly slithering in broad daylight through halls and chambers of the Vatican, attempting to inject its venom into the Mystical Body of Christ, falsely claiming that it is "the way" God is calling the Church to journey in the Third Millenium. It is not. The Serpent is and has always been the Father of Lies. Our Lord Jesus already showed us The Way, and it is not the way of the world, the way of sodomy, the worship of the earth and pagan gods, nor any of the other low-hanging putrid fruits with which the Serpent entices souls and leads them to their eternal ruin. We need to stand firm in the Faith that has been handed down to us throughout the centuries, remain steadfast at the foot of the Cross and seek refuge under Our Lady's most pure mantle, who will surely crush the head of this Serpent with her dainty heel whenever God so wills it.

I am a physician, so reading difficult material is usually not a problem for me. However this is very abstract and dense to read. I think it is perfectly written for a priest or someone who plans to join the priesthood. I understood it to be saying that Synodality is a grave mistake, and it gave good reasons for that belief, but I didn’t necessarily need the level of detail in it.

This book opened up the topic so I can discuss it with some backround not based on personal pejudice.

If you care about how the Church is governed, how its authority structures function, and how doctrine may be influenced by shifts in governance, this book is highly recommended. It provides a clear lens through which to view the synodal movement and asks hard questions about what is at stake for the papacy and for Catholic identity more broadly.
