Vatican Synod ends with Openness to Dialogue and the Promise to Empower Women

The last session of the Vatican Synod on Synodality that commenced in fall 2021 came to a close on October 26, 2024, and has swung the door wide open to a heightened barrage of destructive changes for the Church including the augmented role of women.

The Synod marked a radical break from the synods of Church history in that the former were committed to enhancing and doubling down on the teachings and traditions that Christ established whereas the latter was committed to dismissing tradition and deciding what teachings and procedures the church should adopt for itself. This process of ‘deciding’ is what they call “synodality” and it is through this process that a clique of errant Vatican demolitionists are working to usher in a new church of man.

A key focus of the Synod was the empowerment of the laity with special emphasis on empowering women, which is nothing more than the Leninist clenched fist applied in an ecclesial context. This decision to empower women has nothing to do with sanctifying women or producing more ‘Joan of Arcs’ for the Church but is about producing feminists who demand change and the overrunning of the priesthood. Today’s errant hierarchy uses these dissatisfied rebels to fuel their own cause of destroying the priesthood. Many of them are homosexuals, including LGBT advocate Fr. James Martin who was a key participant at the Synod.

The Vatican Plan for Women Deacons

The mainline media is presenting the Synod as having closed on a note of disappointment for women but this is deliberately done to instigate more clamor for women’s empowerment to give the hierarchy more backing to implement their feminist plan for women.  

Placing the Synod in a less progressivist light also serves to cover the Vatican’s plan to ordain women deacons. The Synod’s final document admits that the Synod opened the door to more openness and dialogue on women deacons, which would ultimately lead to women priests, since the diaconate is a preparatory step toward the priesthood.

In the document, there was some objection to paragraph 60 dealing with certain questions about the role of women in the Church, including the statement that “the question of women’s access to diaconal ministry remains open.” (Paragraph 60: 258 for/97 against)

What this means is that they are not closed to women deacons and priests.

It said that “women continue to encounter obstacles in obtaining a fuller recognition of their charisms, vocation and roles in all the various areas of the Church’s life.”

The document adds that, “Such a scenario is to the detriment of serving the Church’s shared mission.”

In other words, it is to the Church's detriment to not have women deacons/priests.

Consequently, the Synod asks for:

“… full implementation of all the opportunities already provided for in [modernist] Canon Law with regard to the role of women, particularly in those places where they remain under-explored. There is no reason or impediment that should prevent women from carrying out leadership roles in the Church: what comes from the Holy Spirit cannot be stopped.”

The problem is that these aspirations for women deacons and their “leadership roles in the Church” are not coming from the Holy Spirit but from Satan who is the author of this synodal dialogue, openness, ecumenism, and change.

The document continues.

“Additionally, the question of women’s access to diaconal ministry remains open. This discernment needs to continue. The Assembly also asks that more attention be given to the language and images used in preaching, teaching, catechesis, and the drafting of official Church documents.”

What the Assembly is asking is that women take on authority where they surveil and boss the priests and assume their duties as Eucharistic ministers, lectors, and retreat masters. Women are now also being given the role of appointing bishops, cardinals and popes.

Women to Keep Silence in the Churches

The synodal fathers and their synodal master have forgotten that women have no business assuming authority in the Church. St. Paul makes it clear:

“Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject.” (1 Corinthians 14: 34)

Again, the Apostle says:

“I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.” (1 Timothy 2:12)

Today’s bishops have been duped by feminists and by the documents of Vatican II that encourage feminism. The Vatican II Decree on the Apostolate of Lay People, Apostolicam Actuositatem, wrongfully states:

“Since in our days women are taking an increasingly active share in the whole life of society, it is very important that their participation in the various sectors of the Church's apostolate should likewise develop.”

The conciliar document Gaudium et Spes likewise states:

“Women claim parity with men in fact as well as in rights, where they have not already obtained it.” [9] “It is regrettable that those basic personal rights are not yet being respected everywhere, as in the case with women who are denied the chance to freely choose.” [29]

What is reflected here is the protest of feminists who “choose” their own path in defiance of God’s will. In God's eyes women do not stand at “parity” with men, nor must they assert themselves as men, whether in the home, in society, or in the Church.

In his encyclical “Quadragesima Anno,” Pope Pius XI condemned women's participation in ministry as “a grave disorder to eliminate at all cost” since it “takes mothers of families” away from their duties at home. (AAS-23)

What the hierarchy has brought about a queer situation in the Church that was prophesied by Isaias when he said: “As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them.” (Isaias 3: 12)

Better that the hierarchy return to ruling their household as men and as shepherds.
