Did the Synod on Synodality Fizzle Out? (Guest: Timothy Flanders)
The final session of the years-long Synod on Synodality just ended; what did it ultimately accomplish?
A Jacobin “Synodality”
Don’t be fooled. Just because hot-button issues are not on the Synod’s agenda, it doesn’t mean that the revolution is not in full swing.
Solipsism and the Synod
The Synod on Synodality largely consists of men and women unable to look beyond their own noses but able to look down their noses at everyone else.
The Synodal Comedy: Act II
In the Synodal Sessions, the Faith’s majesty is trampled upon, then traded for the cheap trinkets of the best psychobabble money can buy.
Deconstructing Discernment
Today’s prevelant spirituality—and the discernment process that is at its heart—has an uncanny way of canonizing the prevailing ideas and opinions of those who take part in it
Why Synodality is a Sham
Synodality isn’t a process in which the laity’s concerns are heard; it is a process by which they are ignored.
The USCCB Synodal Synthesis: Testimony to a Counterfeit Christianity
The recently-released and synodal-inspired “National Synthesis” by the USCCB has nothing to do with the Catholic Faith as traditionally received, understood, professed, and practiced.
The Time of Magical Thinking

Sentimentalists Go to Rome
Last month’s Synod was pervaded with sentimentality, which glossed over the ugly realities it was seeking to condone.
Stumbling on the Synodal Path
The Synod on Synodality (Part I) just ended, and it didn’t go as pre-planned. Outside events overshadowed the proceedings, and not everyone was on board the path to a synodal Church.
Rearranging the Synod Table Chairs
The Synod was a series of fixations on matters of utter inconsequence, rather like the deck hands busily arranging chairs on the Titanic before its final plunge into the sea.
Our Emersonian Pontiff
Is clerical haberdashery really such a problem that it merits a prominent place in the pope’s intervention in a synod as overhyped as the one concluding in Rome these days?
Do Synod Doubters Really Trust the Holy Spirit?
History has demonstrated that the Holy Spirit has a way of confounding conventional expectations.
Rome Fiddles While the World Burns
The Middle East and Ukraine are engulfed in war, society has become increasingly (and violently) anti-Catholic, and millions are leaving the Church; meanwhile, Church leaders are meeting together to talk about meetings. What is a Catholic to do?
The Great Sifting
In the midst of mass apostasy all around us, we can see signs of growth in faithfulness and orthodoxy.
Blessing a Sterile Parody
Same-sex unions are not even unions, only a parody, both sad and sterile, of a relation that is not real.
