Our Lord Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church to be the “light of the world”, that through the successors of the Apostles we might hear His voice and all nations be led to eternal salvation.

Yet in recent times the moral authority of the Catholic Church appears to have been co-opted by the spirit of the world, and her voice silenced on matters that threaten the lives and eternal salvation especially of the young. In some Western nations today, children and adolescents are being physically mutilated by gender reassignment surgery, puberty-blocking drugs, and chemical castration, while confusion is sown in their minds and hearts by the spirit of impurity and the culture of death. And yet, many of those entrusted with the preservation and propagation of the deposit of faith are more preoccupied with ‘non-judgmental’ acceptance of those who indulge in and promote these practices than with protecting the innocent from the predators who seek to corrupt and destroy.

This surrender to the world is reaching its climax with the forthcoming gathering in Rome called the “Synod on Synodality.” In the preparations for this gathering, much has been made of the “role of women” in the Church. Suggestions have even been made that the “structures” of the Church be “reformed” so that women might participate in “governance” and that “women’s inclusion in the diaconate” be considered.
Female participants whom Pope Francis has appointed and given a vote equal to a bishop or cardinal have advocated heretical doctrines and espouse views contrary to the Catholic Faith.
In the preparatory documents themselves, poisonous error is insinuated to the effect that unrepentant notorious public sinners should be “welcomed” into the Church without repentance as a precondition of sacramental Communion. Such a “welcome” would only ensure more terrible torments for these individuals in the world to come, as anyone who professed the Catholic Faith would know.
We have also witnessed Church leaders and lower clergy who are willing to revise the Church’s teaching on homosexuality and endorse the blessing of unnatural unions. Regrettably, Pope Francis has appointed some of these individuals to key organizational positions or as voting members of the October assembly.
As Catholic women who practice the faith and believe all that Holy Mother Church teaches, we wish to be represented only by bishops, to whom Christ entrusted the governance and leadership of His Church, and only insofar as they believe and profess the Church’s Faith.
