This thread is to discuss absolutely anything you would like about the Amazon Synod.

If you want to discuss the logos and your worry they represent other symbols, you are welcome, If you want to discuss how we as catholics can appropriate ideas and knit scarves to support and advertise our moral theology, do so.
if you want to discuss indigenous culture including feeding infant animals and infanticide do so.
If you want to agree or disagree with the synod do so.

Absolutely nothing to do with the Synod is Off topic
 
Let me be the first here to say that I have no idea whatsoever what the Amazon Synod is. I gather that some good Catholics are distressed about it, and that tells me that I do not want to know more. I saw a photo of some interesting sculptures. They are not for sale on Amazon, I am sure.

The closest I ever came to knitting was making potholders out of those fabric loops in second or third grade. I could learn thought, I guess, if I have to… oh, the Synod? I will wait until its conclusion and read what ultimately comes out. Much hype and fear mongering now.
 
I want to say that people are taking it way too far , not the people organising it, but normal Catholic laity like me who have no idea what they’re talking about. The Church will never ordain women, Pope Francis has already said this, as for married priests, this is something the Church already has. When you have people who think that the Church only consists of Latin West, you end up with us problem to begin with. I don’t think that married priests are going to be a thing in the Amazon, given the their contact with Catholicism, is with Western Catholicism. I also saw something saying that deacons were celebrating Mass in the Amazon, that’s a good trick since deacons can’t celebrate Mass, but what they can do is celebrate communion services. My understanding, is that this may have been a mistranslation from Italian, I haven’t gotten a chance to read it in Italian, I do know some Italian, but I’m more familiar with business terminology. I read, I don’t remember which website but it said the term Mass sometimes refers to any liturgy. I think that might be what’s going on, because I would usually think that a Divine Liturgy is The Divine Liturgy that’s celebrated on Sunday which includes the consecration of the Eucharist, but I was at a Byzantine Catholic church in Pennsylvania at the Liturgy of the presanctified gifts, and it said Divine Liturgy of the presanctified gifts , so that maybe a terminology issue. As for infanticide, I highly doubt this is something that the Church is going to support or encourage. I don’t know enough about Amazonian cultures, because there’s a bunch of different ones, heck here in the United States there are over 500 recognized Indian tribes just by the federal government, not to mention state recognized tribes and non recognize tribes So I don’t know what the pope was doing with folks in the Vatican. I’m not an expert on tribes in South America, my area of expertise on that is more in North America.
 
The amount of hysteria surrounding this synod is baffling.

PS: I love knitting. Are we supposed to be making Synod scarves? Why didn’t someone tell me!!! Let me get my needles and yarn! 🧶
 
Not if its about the synod, anything about the synod is on topic!
 
I look forward to this synod securing free Prime for all Catholics.
