^^ The Pope who condemned synodality
(...) “He who does not know his history is condemned to make the same mistakes”. Today we are accustomed to hear of synodality as something new, as if it were a modern, current term, an invention of our time and it is not true.
Already in the fifteenth century, attention, in the fifteenth century already in the Catholic Church was born a movement that today we know as synodality and was condemned by the Pope, this current was called “conciliarism”.
--
The words are different, on the one hand we have conciliarism that we have just mentioned and on the other hand we have “synodality”, they are different words, friends, but the concepts, the ideas that underlie both are very similar. They are not exactly the same, no, but they are very similar, they share the same pattern of errors.
--
So that we all understand each other: what conciliarism intended in the 15th century was to reduce the power of the Pope in favor of an assembly, of a synod, of a council... that is to say that the synod, or council, had more authority than the Pope.
--
Attention now, I read: According to conciliarism, the Church was to be structured as an expression of the will of the faithful, in local and regional synods, largely autonomous, each with its own language and customs. These synods were to meet periodically in a general synod or “holy synod”, the highest authority of the Church. The pope was reduced to “primun inter pares”, that is to say, although he held a position of leadership or authority, he was not above the others, but he led the group or the assembly as one of the others. The pope, therefore, had to submit to the decisions of the Catholics by the equal vote of the participants. This heresy of conciliarism was condemned by Pope Pius II with the bull “excecrabilis”.
--
Attention, with the bull “excecrabilis”, Pope Pius II called conciliarism “pestilent poison” . [And the First Vatican Council also condemned conciliarism]
--
The summary, what Pius II condemns and what he calls “pestilent poison” is this idea of thinking that the assembly (all Christians or bishops or cardinals as a whole) have more authority than the Pope. That is, that the vote of that majority is worth more than the Pope.
--
So that we can all understand what conciliarism is and the similarities of what today is called synodality, I will try to explain it through an image [and shows a pyramid where the upper triangle is the Pope and then come the Cardinals, then the Archbishops and Bishops, then the Priests, then the deacons and at the base, the laity and consecrated. That is the Church now, as Jesus Christ founded it and as it should always be, since God founded the Church in a perfect way and God never changes]. You see that the hierarchy of the Catholic Church is like a pyramid: at the top of the pyramid would be the Pope and below him the cardinals; and then the patriarchs, archbishops, bishops; then the presbyters (the priests); and then the deacons; and then, below all, without authority, would be all the Catholic faithful, the laity, as they call them now.
--
This pyramid that I have explained to you, shows the authority of the Church, at the top, which is where the Pope is, would be the highest authority, and below, those who have a little less authority, [and he points downward] a little less, a little less... a little less. And what conciliarism proposes is that this pyramid be turned upside down, that is, that below the Pope is the Pope and above all is the majority: the council, gathered together. That is to say: to invert authority. From now on, below the Pope would be the Pope and who has the highest authority is the synod, the council, the assembly. The ultimate authority goes so far as to say that if the synod, the assembly, says one thing and the Pope says the opposite, who should we listen to? “To the assembly, because it has more authority than the Pope.” This is what was raised in the 15th century and this is what Pope Pius II was referring to when he used the term “pestilent poison.”
--
In a way this is the same thing that the advocates of synodality put forward and for that reason we have titled this video: The Pope Who Condemned Synodality in the Catholic Church. Because in fact what is being proposed when we speak of synodality is none other than this. And do not deceive us, this is a pestilent poison. And this is an error rejected by Pope Pius II [and by the First Vatican Council].
--
And some may say to me: “well, Marcos, but what synodality proposes is not what you say, that of inverting the pyramid and I don't know what, you invented that yourself”. No, you see, this pyramid thing is an example taken from those who speak of synodality [And specifically from the manual they followed to work satanically during the synod, the “instrumentum laboris”,] Specifically from [antipope] Francis, listen to what [anti]Pope Francis said on this subject, he said: “in this synodal Church, as in an inverted pyramid, the top is below the base”. He is raising what we were saying before: a Church with an inverted hierarchical pyramid, is being raised by the initiator, we could say, the [antipope] holy father the [anti]Pope Francis, the initiator of synodality in the Church.
--
But it is not just these statements. The vade-mecum of the synod on synodality says: “we are all interdependent on one another, and we all share the same dignity within the Holy People of God”. What is being proposed is precisely what has just been said: “we are all equal, therefore: one person, one vote”. It is the majority that decides what is to be done, what is to be believed, even! And this idea that was put forward in the synod of synodality, is in essence what had been put forward in the 15th century, and which Pope Pius II condemned, I insist, calling it “pestilent poison.”
--
[The organization of the Church is given by Jesus Christ, He decided who has authority. In the Council of Jerusalem (which I will comment very soon, Acts 15, St. Peter says that God gave the Holy Spirit also to the Gentiles and “made no difference between us and them”, which is understood: “made no difference between believers of Jewish origin and those of Pagan origin”, but if you still want to understand it in a broad sense forced: “no difference between the apostles and the faithful”, that is in the reception of the Holy Spirit. The Church does not deny dignity to anyone of men (we are all creations of God); to the baptized in a state of grace (temples of the holy Spirit); and prays for those in mortal sin (which are traitors to Jesus and are dead fruits on the vine) but keep in mind that every organization has its laws and authorities, which in the Church are given by Jesus Christ and so followed by the Church since its foundation. Another organization would not be the Church but, as Our Lady of the Roses warns us: “a church of man”, a human shit like everything the devil does through his henchmen. They hate God so much that they think they will be happy if they destroy the Church, but that will bring death and destruction to the world. An example from these days: in Canada (very lgtbi country) now their government wants to “help” children to die even without parental consent (and even with consent it is still an atrocity). The devil, through the left, offers them “freedom” (having sex surgery, which is not the solution to anything; taking hormones, which produce depression) and then death, indoctrinating children in that path of Satanism in schools without parents being able to do anything. Satan only gives eternal death. Everything he uses to dazzle men are the things created by God and misused by the victims of the serpent, who at first see nothing but that false freedom and think they discovered the “philosopher's stone” and then they are so dead that they are agents of death for others].
--
We could even say that the circumstances in which conciliarism was born are also very similar to the circumstances in which synodality was born. why? Because conciliarism was born at a time of crisis in the Church, a time when what is known as “the schism of the West” took place. In this period of the Church, which lasted approximately until 1417, that is, the 15th century, there were up to 3 Popes, and all three claimed to be the true successor of St. Peter [and at this time we had an antipope. The devil always does the same thing, he puts people to complain about something to propose them a solution apparently more interesting but that leads to hell, the same thing he does when he wants to overthrow a right-wing government: complaints about bad management and when people, who swallowed the crap, vote en masse to the left, the management is the same or worse, but the complaints disappear in the media. What is wrong must be fixed, not hidden, but not falling into Satan's proposals]. This framework was very conducive at that time to the weakening of papal authority to the point of affirming these things that we say about conciliarism. Look: "the council has more authority than the Pope”.
--
The conciliarists even went so far as to convoke a “council”, which was the “Council of Constance” that published the decree “ex Santa” [I don't know if I spelled it right] which maintained that the council had more authority than the Pope.
--
Today synodality is posed in the midst of a Church strongly divided, evidently not because there are several Popes, but divided into two great camps: that of those who want to defend the Revealed Truth, the Tradition of the Church, who want to be faithful to the Message received, who want fidelity to Divine Revelation. On the other hand, there are those who want to reconcile the principles of the Gospel with the principles of the world. Perhaps, without realizing that the principles of the Gospel come from God, and the principles of the world come from the devil, therefore it is impossible to unite them.
--
Similar contexts, in the 15th century and in the 21st century, have given rise to similar errors, in the 15th century conciliarism and in the 21st century, synodality.
--
And having arrived at this point, and understanding a little of what synodality of conciliarism is, we could ask ourselves: Does Pope Leo XIV want to continue this path of synodality? Many are concerned, and this is normal, because they have heard Pope Leo XIV speak on various occasions of “synodality” and to all of them we must say that it is true, that he has used the term “synodality” on various occasions, but at no time has he given it the meaning it deserves. But at no time has he given it the meaning of an inverted pyramid, as we were saying before.
--
[Do not be deceived, the inverted pyramid is completely associated with synodality: the attempt to destroy the Church as founded by Jesus Christ: they will not be able to kill her, although they are crucifying her. Read the Messages of Our Lady of the Roses.
To want to believe that by using that term he is saying something else is self-deception, since Leo XIV did not redefine synodality. Many will say that the Pope spoke clearly that marriage is the union of man and woman. But Francis was “openly” against abortion and yet he appointed an abortionist to the Pontifical Council for Life at the Vatican. When one has a great joy, one gives thanks to God, but Leo XIV in his speech upon his election that Thursday, May 8, gave thanks to Francis].
--
You have to understand that the problem does not lie in the word itself, but in what the word means. There is no problem in using the word “synodality” if by it the Pope means that we have to walk together, then there is no problem, let us walk together. There is no problem in using the word “synodality” if with it he means that we have to dialogue, no problem, let's dialogue. That is to say, the big problem is not in the word, the big problem is in the meaning of the word, if what we want to follow is the meaning of inverted pyramid, then yes, there is a problem.
--
But if the pope uses this term as a synonym for “walking together” or as a synonym for “dialoguing with each other,” there is no problem, but it must also be understood that this walking together, this dialogue is to seek the truth, not to define the truth.
--
Truth is defined in divine revelation, which is expressed in the Word of God and in Tradition, that the Church has the help of the Holy Spirit to interpret correctly this revelation and to transmit it to the Catholic faithful. But she never has the authority to invent new doctrines. As defined by the First Vatican Council when it defined Papal infallibility. There are many who are attacking Pope Leo XIV for using this term synodality. And to all of them I would say “patience, let us allow Pope Leo XIV to advance and I am sure that he will try by all means to transmit to us an idea of synodality in accordance with the revealed truth, and in no case will he propose to us, I am convinced, synodality in this sense of an inverted pyramid”.
--
[Beware, do not wait idiotically inactive waiting for an invented goodism. Obey Our Lady of the Roses, prepare yourselves, spread the Messages. Can fresh water and salt water come out of one fountain? asks the Old Testament. My answer is that if even that were possible, a little salt water in the fresh water would make the fresh water undrinkable. Pope Leo XIV has the obligation to eradicate everything that goes against Holy Tradition, and unfortunately what he did was to appoint a nun in worldly garb, without a veil and with pronounced cleavage as secretary of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life, a key position in the Catholic Church globally. Jesus Christ did not appoint women to decision-making positions in the Church. If He could have, He would have, He would have chosen H is Mother as Apostle, but it was NOT THE WILL OF THE FATHER. Read the Messages of Our Lady of the Roses. And God never changes]
--
There are also many, on the other hand, who are also attacking the Pope precisely because they see that he is separating himself from these concepts of synodality that had been previously established and they are worried because they are realizing that Pope Leo XIV does not intend to go down those paths of the inverted pyramid and those paths of that false synodality or at least those paths of “conciliaris” synodality. What should we do? For the time being, we should remain patient, wait, let the Pope do what he does and pray for him, pray and sacrifice ourselves for Pope Leo XIV.
--
For the moment I want to tell you about an initiative that we have started here in Tekton which is to make a spiritual bouquet for Pope Leo XIV. To participate in the spiritual bouquet you should go directly to the description of this video and you will see a link that says "spiritual bouquet, click on it, and on that page you have to indicate the number of Masses that you want to make for Pope Leo XIV. You have to indicate the number of Masses that you want to offer for Pope Leo XIV this year, the number of rosaries that you want to offer for Pope Leo XIV this year, the number of sacrifices, the number of works of charity... that you are going to offer this year. This collection that we could say of prayers and sacrifices, we will continue to do throughout the month and a month from now we will write a letter to Pope Leo XIV in the name of all of you who have participated in the spiritual bouquet and we will send him in the form of a gift all our prayers, our sacrifices, [that he already receives when the prayers are made, etc. Because we make them to God for the Pope, they do not go as a gift in a letter, beware of alternative methods] so that Pope Leo XIV may know that we are supporting him and that we are praying for him so that he may have a very long pontificate full of blessings, so that he may have a pontificate in fidelity to the truth and to the tradition received by God.
--
--
So you know, if you want to participate in this gift for Pope Leo XIV, go to the description, click on “spiritual bouquet” and make a spiritual offering for Pope Leo XIV. And before I say goodbye, I wanted to tell you that in the description of this video I leave you the link to our whatsapp channel and there we share diverse content, always apostolic and Roman Catholic and you are all invited to participate. Also if you want to participate in the charity work that we do in Tekton in the Association of Family and Youth of St. Joseph, also in the description of this video you have the ways to make your contribution in the form of a grain of sand in this work of love for the needy that we carry out in Family of St. Joseph and Tekton. Thank you very much to all and God bless you

SINODALITY IS THE RETURN OF THE CONDEMNED CONCILIARISM
^^Conciliarism or conciliar theory is a doctrine that considers the ecumenical council as the supreme authority of the Catholic Church, elevating it (conditionally or on principle) above the pope.[1] In this way, the superiority of the council over the Roman pontiff, who would not be the holder of plenitudo potestatis in the Church, is affirmed. There have been several conciliarist currents throughout history, until finally the First Vatican Council defined the plenitude of power of the Roman pontiff over the Catholic Church.[2] The Council of Vatican Council I defined the plenitude of power of the Roman pontiff over the Catholic Church.
--
This doctrine argues that an ecumenical council represents the whole Church and derives its power directly from Christ; to that power all the faithful, also the members of the hierarchy, including the pope himself, are subject and must obey.^^]
