The Meaning of Catholic

Uniting Catholics against the enemies of Holy Church

Fact/Opinion: The Amazon Synod

Remains of an Arian temple in modern Slovenia
Remains of an Arian temple, modern Slovenia

Fact:

  • In the 1960s the “Rhine Group”[1] successfully gained control of Vatican II and threw out the original document drafts to craft new ones. On the whole, the documents were perfectly orthodox but on particular points ambiguities remained where the Rhine group had successfully lobbied the Council for vagueness. Their aims in doing this (as revealed in the work of their greatest minds Rahner, Kung, and Schillebeeckx) was to use the ambiguities in Vatican II to promote the Modernist evolution of dogma against the Catholic faith.[2] One of these aims was to abolish celibacy and ordain women.
  • Reaching for this ultimate goal, the Rhine group has successfully spread the practices of “female altar boys,” female lectors, and female “Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers.”
  • Their efforts, however, have been obstructed somewhat by the popes, notably St. John Paul II who issued a document defining that every Catholic must definitively hold that women cannot receive holy orders.
  • Pope Francis, however, has given great power to the Rhine group and even praised those who openly promote female ordination. Early in his pontificate it became an open secret (fully documented by well-respected, mainstream journalist Edward Pentin) that the synods are manipulated by the Rhine Group with Pope Francis. The chief author of the Instrumentum Laboris (first draft document) supports female ordination, and his document has been condemned by bishops (and a Cardinal) as “apostasy” and “heresy.” Moreover, it has been publicly admitted by some of the Rhine group that they do intend to ordain married men, then women deacons, then women priests (++Brandmueller confirms this as well). Secret meetings have already been held by the Rhine group ahead of the Amazon Synod.

Opinion: due to the amount of power the Rhine Group holds in the Vatican (and very few bishops oppose them), it is likely their plan for a married priesthood and “unofficial” female orders will succeed. They will ordain married men first, then female “deacons.” Meanwhile, the new Curia constitution will allow women to run dicasteries in the Vatican, which has already begun. After a period of time when women dominate so many forms of leadership, the Rhine group will ask “Why not ordain women?” They will then “ordain” women, but their orders and  “sacraments” will be invalid. This strategy has already been executed successfully in the Anglican Church.

As the doctrinal and moral crisis in the Church worsens, Catholics will have much to suffer in the coming years and our Lady, who is witnessing the Passion of the Body of Christ, will see the Death of the Church. Only then will come the Glorious Resurrection. Let every Catholic offer up prayers and sacrifices to petition Almighty God to turn away His just wrath and send us the hoped-for restoration.

[1]. The “Rhine Group” is so named because it is composed mostly of Bishops and theologians from Germany, France, Belgium, and Denmark with a few exceptions, notably the powerful Italian Cardinal Martini.

[2]. When these aims became clear, a more conservative group led by Ratzinger broke from the Rhine group journal Concilium to form a rival journal entitled Communio, which promoted a more conservative view of the council.

    I sure hope it doesn’t come to this but I imagine some of this at the very least will happen given the current pontificate is clearly not concerned about handing on the tradition given by the apostles.

    Please stop this grave mistake. 1 Tim 2:11-12. It’s one thing to advocate for gender equality in the society, it’s a whole other thing when it starts encroaching on religious practices. Let the Church practice continue as it was, instead focus your energy on uplifting women from the poor and desolate nations. Help them to be self-sufficient. That’s the way to female empowerment.

      Thanks for your comment. The faith tells us that both genders have particular perfections which order them in a certain way according to their nature. Thus each gender is “special” because they can do things that the other gender cannot do. Thus in both secular and religious life, genders are interdependent and there is community. But with the radical egalitarianism which denies reality by seeking equal outcomes from different inputs, every person is an individual who has some imagined right to accomplish everything anyone else can do, which is ludicrous.

    I am not opposed to female deacons provided that they are not “ordained” but rather appointed in the mode that St Hippolytus describes. They should not have a liturgical function either. Rather, they can function in baptisms and do other important church work. It would be akin to recognizing the “babushkas” with a name a tad more official.

      Yes none of that, to my knowledge, is contrary to Tradition per se. Instead, it is a matter of prudence to oppose these things since the enemies of Christ openly boast of their intention to use them to further their aims. In the same way and for the same reasons I also oppose the relaxation of a celibate priesthood for the Latin rite.

      Unfortunately, the enemies within do not see this development in the same light that you do. For them, this ‘reform’ is simply another step along the path to having priestesses. You are honest; the enemy within is not.

    The role of women in the Church has been, and continues to be very great indeed, both as Religious and as laypersons. Therefore, the push to take on the roles of men in the Church can only have a malevolent hand behind it, whether those who promote it realize it or not. The need of the prayers of the faithful on behalf of the Church cannot be understated. I had no idea there even existed such a group as this ‘Rhine Group’ until chancing upon this blog. Thank you so much for educating those of us who desire to be faithful to our Catholic heritage.

      My sister Monica,

      Thank your for your comment. Yes, there seems to be a strong push toward including women in every traditional male role as much as possible except priesthood–for now. From my view, this ultimately denigrates the immense and always underestimated role that women play as mothers both religious and biological who lay the foundations for every human person. To say that women must participate in every role the same as men is to claim that women and men do not have particular gifts that make each of their genders entirely unique and needed, and ultimately hurts both genders, from my view. Most tellingly, it was the Rhine group who was successful in suppressing the Vatican II document on the Mother of God and relegating our Lady to the final section in Lumen Gentium. To me, Marian devotion is in many ways the key to our crisis, and I will have further articles on that topic. I’m glad the writings have been help to you my sister! 🙂

      In Jesus and Mary,

      Timothy

Big Tech is very much in bed with Big Government. To pretend that Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and other tech titans aren’t working in union, either explicitly or implicitly, with government leaders is naive at best.

The problem isn’t Fr. James Martin. He’s a garden-variety heretic with a large following. In that, he’s no different than Joel Osteen.

The problem is that he’s a Catholic priest “in good standing.” By refusing to discipline him, the hierarchy is helping him lead people to hell.

We should ever learn lessons of humility from the faults of others: “If I had found myself in like circumstances and had had the same temptation, perhaps I should have done worse.” Bergamo. Humility of Heart.
