Theologian participating in Synod on Synodality heralds heterodox views

[Michie]

Spanish theologian Cristina Inogés, appointed by Pope Francis to participate in the Synod on Synodality, argues in a recently released document that “Christianity should never have become a religion.”

In a September article titled “Del Sínodo al jubileo: construyendo comunidad en diálogo” (“From the Synod to the Jubilee: Building Community in Dialogue”), Inogés argues that Jesus sought to hand on a way of life and human relationships based on fraternity, not to found an institutionalized religion with hierarchies and “to separate a small part from the rest, the priests — the clergy — although with influence, a lot of influence, over the rest.”

“Jesus carried out his mission in everyday life, in the reality of every day and far from the temple, to which he only makes his way in order to be the protagonist in the only [incident of] enormous anger he has in the entire Gospel: an episode related to the abuse of power and which resulted in the expulsion of the merchants,” she states.

My local diocesan magazine arrived in my mailbox yesterday; it's full of gushings about "the Synod" and all the great things they're supposedly going to accomplish.

All it really amounts to is a bigger version of those national conferences that bishops convene, where a bunch of people all get together at a Radisson hotel somewhere, and in between catered meals, engage in a lot of navel-gazing about incredibly bland and generic topics, all of which produces nothing but a lot of theo-babble and hot air.

For myself, I don't want a "Synodal" Church. I want an *Apostolic* Church.

You put it perfectly Wolseley. Most do not know what it even means.

Well said and well written, sir.

I’m in complete agreement.
