SYNODALITY

11 And he himself granted some to be apostles, some to be prophets,
some to be evangelists, some to be pastors and teachers; 
12 to equip the saints for the work of service for building up the body of Christ, 
13 until we may all come together into unity of faith and profound knowledge of the Son of God, into the perfect Man,
 into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

TRADITIONALISM & TRAD RECOVERY PROGRAM & CLERICALISM
MISOGYNY & XENOPOHOBIA & AGEISM & SPIRITUAL ABUSE & ABUSE IN THE CHURCH

*By Traditionalism we here refer to an ideology that includes rejection of
or suspicion of the entirety or parts of the Magisterium from the Second Vatican Council up to the present day,
as well as the reform of the Roman Rite. We believe that to be authentically Catholic is to be “traditional”;
however “Traditionalism” takes that love for older usages a step further, fostering schismatic attitudes
and behaviors that tear apart, rather than build up, the Body of Christ.

“[t]oday … there is a supper to prepare. It is not only a matter
of the liturgy, but of our readiness to enter into a
gesture that transcends us. The Eucharist is not
celebrated only at the altar, but also in daily life,
where it is possible to experience everything as
offering and giving of thanks.”

… quoted from Pope Leo XIV’s General Audience catechesis on the Eucharist,
delivered on Wednesday, 6 August 2025, in Rome. “

LEO XIV

O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favourably on your servant Leo,
whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;
grant, we pray, that by word and example
he may be of service to those over whom he presides
so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
