Pray for a Miracle — An Initial Reaction to the Close of the Synod

Pray for a Miracle — An Initial Reaction to the Close of the Synod| National Catholic Register

Msgr. Pope is one of the more reasonable and mild, as well as knowledgeable priests bloggers on the internet and even he is sounding the alarm. Here is his exhortation at the end of this article:

Pray for an apostolic exhortation that glorifies and lifts up Jesus as the only way to salvation. An exhortation that focuses not merely on a clean environment but purified souls. An exhortation that doesn’t speak of listening to the spirits of the rainforest, but of listening to Jesus, the Eternal Word of the Father. An exhortation that summons us to prayer, to the sacraments, to the Word of God and to the ancient and perennial teachings of the Church. Pray for an exhortation that casts aside Pachamama and points to Mary, who leads us to her Son!

Let us pray: Help us, Lord. Save us and have mercy on us, and draw us back from the brink. We acknowledge our sins Lord and that all of us have fallen short of the glory and holiness to which you have summoned us. But now, on the edge of a precipice, we pray for a miracle — indeed, Lord, one that will stun the world. Guide the Holy Father, who now writes an apostolic exhortation, and may his thoughts be directed only to you and the precious faith you have revealed. Lord, we are poor and needy — whom do we have but you, O Lord? To whom else can we turn? In these times of deep confusion and division we ask a miracle, Lord — yes, a miracle.

Mother Mary, intercede for us. Amen.

Jesus was definitely left out of this synod and is hardly mentioned anywhere. An in-depth summary of what has just transpired just appeared in the Catholic Herald. https://catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2019/10/28/letters-from-the-synod-october-28-2019/

It does an excellent job of highlighting the threats and challenges facing the church starting today. The author’s argue that the synod challenges the foundational dogma of Christianity.
At stake is the reality and binding authority of divine revelation as conveyed to us by Scripture and Tradition. Does revelation judge history – including this historical moment and its legitimate concerns about the environment – or does history judge revelation (and thus demand, for example, that 21st-century Catholicism jettison the biblical view of humanity’s unique, and uniquely responsible, position in the natural world)?

Much of what has been coming out of the various quarters prior to the synod suggests that the synod is confirming the idea that the marxist-based liberation theology is on its way of replacing what is the nature of our church. We do need profound prayers and miracles.

My pastor said many of the same things to me after Mass yesterday that Msgr. Pope says in that article!
Mighty rough times we find ourselves in.

An exhortation that focuses not merely on a clean environment but purified souls.

Their is no shortage of exhortations of the second part of purified souls. The Catholics of the year 4,000 A.D. prefer to evangelize in a healthy climate and will be slightly mad at us if we do nothing.

Also, if the rain forest emitted oil, I think we would take over Brazil [‘We've secured the oil… And we're going to be protecting it’ – Trump - YouTube], to bad it only helps us with the oxygen we inhale.

I am waiting to see what the final response of the Holy See will be.
