Summary of the Synod part 1 and It's not good! Are We Surprised?

Set up for the Delphi Technique under the eye of the serpent

In an interview with Vatican journalist Edward Pentin, Cardinal Gerhard Mueller gave his assessment of the process and the goal of radicals in the group. Nothing he says is really a surprise in view of the previous synods which all had manipulated outcomes to undermine the faith. This one so obviously used the Delphi Technique that anyone familiar with it could recognize what was happening. More on that later. The cardinal's interview appeared in the National Catholic Register with this introduction:

VATICAN CITY — Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former prefect for the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, says the Synod on Synodality is not an episcopal assembly but more like an Anglican synodal meeting, and is being used by some participants as a means to prepare the Catholic Church to accept ideologies that run contrary to Scripture and Tradition. [Whodda thunk it? Wow!]

In an extensive Oct. 24 interview with the Register, Cardinal Müller also warned that some in the assembly are “abusing the Holy Spirit” in order to introduce “new doctrines” such as an acceptance of homosexuality, women priests and a change in Church governance. [Anybody surprised?]

As one of 52 delegates personally chosen by Pope Francis to attend the Oct. 4-29 meeting, the first of two assemblies which will conclude in 2024, the German cardinal participated in all of this month’s session before departing early on Oct. 25 to ordain new priests in Poland.

Cardinal Müller said the synodal meeting was “very controlled” and quite manipulated, with most of the interventions coming from only a few keynote speakers who spoke to them as if they knew no theology. He said that he, himself, was given only three minutes to speak to the whole assembly. [It's all the setup for next year and the final document that will once again herald the "spirit of Vatican II"  to make sure the faith is gutted as much as possible.]

Read the interview. It's absolutely clear that the Delphi technique was being used to manipulate the outcome. 

If you aren't familiar with the Delphi Technique here's a brief description:

The Delphi Technique is a “manipulative method used by governments, organizations, and unions to cause a ‘per-selected outcome’ at a meeting, event or function. . It is based upon the Hegelian Dialectic of creating ones own opposition in order to manipulate that opposition to a unified consensus.

In a group setting, the Delphi Technique is an unethical method of achieving consensus on controversial topics. It requires well-trained professionals known as “facilitators” or “change agents,” who deliberately escalate tension among group members, pitting one faction against another to make a preordained viewpoint appear “sensible” while making opposing views appear ridiculous.

Everything about this meeting smacks of the Delphi Technique. Breaking everyone up into small groups, limiting the discussion, creating tensions that resulted in delegates walking out of the meeting, manipulating everyone to sign a "Letter to the People of God." 

It's all part of the Delphi Technique. The National Catholic Reporter (aka The Fishwrap) reported on the tensions which are very deliberately created and exploited under the tequnique:

"We are not afraid of tensions," Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich of Luxembourg told participants on Oct. 9. "Tensions are a part of the process, as long as we consider ourselves to be sisters and brothers, walking together."...For synod organizers — and, indeed, the pope himself — disagreement was all part of the plan. 

Again, folks, that's the Delphi Technique. All of the synods have been controlled and manipulated, but this one the most of all. And the agenda is clear -- turning the Catholic Church into one more Protestant sect operating on moral relativism. Their idea of unity is to ordain women and to approve of all sexual sin under the guise of compassion.

 If you can read The Letter to the People of God without gagging, you have a stronger stomach than I do. It sounds like it was written by a Hollywood screenwriter and it's all about luv and dialogue, but almost nothing about Jesus Christ, His doctrine, Sacred Tradition, etc. Not only that, the entire process essentially clericalized the laity by putting them on the same footing as our spiritual Fathers, the bishops who are the successors of the Apostles. There's a lot of talk in the letter about the "spirit" just like we all heard about the "spirit of Vatican II." Well her's the spirit they're talking about right in time for Halloween. Just as he tempted Jesus, he's now tempting and trying to seduce the people of God. Just imagine what Synod Part 2 next year is going to be like. Hold on to your rosaries!
