The idiots, diabolical prelates, aging Vatican II boomers, atheists and pro-abortionists handpicked by Pope Francis, in all his wisdom, who used non-Catholic indigenous Amazonian people as a prop to push through a resurgent Marxist Liberation Theology (previously condemned by St. John Paul II) and open the door for ordination of women has been a dark comedy of errors. How could I say that the indigenous Amazonians are being used as a prop? Perhaps because Austrian Bishop Erwin Kräutler, the leading spokesperson for the Amazon Synod has articulated that,

“I have never in my life baptized an indigenous [person], and I also do not have the intention of ever doing so.”

Baptism is one of the duties of any priest. Priests and prelates are in the saving-of-souls business. That’s what they have been called by Christ to do upon ordination. They do this by performing the sacraments – baptism, confession, confirmation, marriage, Extreme Unction (also referred to as the Last Rites). When a priest, bishop, or cardinal articulates that he has no intention of baptizing someone to save their eternal soul, then that cleric is no longer working for Christ and one has to ask who he may be serving instead. There has been virtually no discussion of baptizing and converting non-Catholic indigenous Amazonians but instead discussion of melding pagan worship with Catholic worship and much moaning, groaning, and handwringing that there’s never enough priests in the region, so the Church must ordain married men, make women deacons, and consider at some point ordaining women to the priesthood. There is so much more to comment on about the Amazonian Synod that I just don’t have time to address, but Ricochet member Scott Wilmot has been doing yeoman’s work on addressing some of the other abominations.
