Guild Coverage of the Shadow Synod


Nicolas Bellord, writing for The Guild of Blessed Titus Brandsma, has completed a comprehensive and enlightening analysis of the 'Shadow Synod', containing the kind of arguments and...ahem, 'theology' the Church can expect to be presented in October. It is a great read but because of the subject matter you might want to pour yourself a brandy because if this is the kind of stuff that will be presented at the Synod on the Family...well...

The excellent 8-part analysis is written in separate posts which can be read as follows...










And having read that, most readers will want to pray the Novena to St Michael the Archangel for Holy Mother Church. The novena goes from September 20 to September 29, starting today.

May God have mercy on us all.
