Pope Francis Appoints Men And Women To Create A ‘Synodal Church’ That Will Affirm The LGBTQIA Movement As Part Of The Roman Catholic Church

Pope Francis has been busy appointing men and women who support his vision of an affirming synodal church to positions where it matters.

How do you boil a frog? You put it in a pot of cold water and gradually increase the heat until its legs are too weak from the heat to jump out to safety. Pope Francis is busy boiling his frog right now, only his ‘frog’ is the dream of turning the 1,700 year old institution of the Roman Catholic Church into an LGBTQIA+ affirming organization. As Groucho Marx would say, ‘what’s the secret word?’ Well, Groucho, the answer is ‘synod’. Yep, that’s the winner right there.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:4-6 (KJB)

If you are not a Roman Catholic, chances are you are also not familiar with the words ‘synod’ and ‘synodal’ as it relates to the Roman church. The Vatican News had this to say about it:

“The synodal journey of ongoing conversion encourages us to become a Church that witnesses unambiguously to the equal dignity of each person and of all peoples, both within its internal life, and in its action in the world. Reading the signs of our times in the light of the Gospel, we see that God’s action in the world is not restricted to the Catholic Church! A more synodal Church will be open to ecumenical and interfaith wisdom. It will be open to wisdom from all branches of human knowledge, which continues to develop. It will be open to walking with all people of authenticity on a path of encounter, dialogue and accompaniment.” source

In the more ‘synodal’ church that Francis is building, you are going to see female priests, 6-color rainbow flags, and all manner of queers and transgenders fluttering about to administer the ‘holy sacraments’ to the faith Roman Catholics. All he needed was the right marketing tool to sell it with, and ‘synod’ will get the job done nicely. To push this through, Pope Francis has fingered LGBTQIA-affirming Jesuit priest James Martin. Isn’t it exciting watching the Roman Catholic Church blossoming into the Whore of Babylon? It is if you know your Bible.

Pope Francis appoints men and women to build a synodal church

FROM RELIGION NEWS: This is evident in his recent appointments to the college of cardinals, the synod, to the Roman Curia and to archdioceses. These appointments are important because, as every management consultant will tell you, “personnel is policy.” An organization can have wonderful policies, but if the people responsible for implementing them are not on board, those policies will fail.

On Sunday July 9, Francis appointed 21 new cardinals, 18 of whom are under 80 years of age and therefore able to vote for a new pope in a conclave. After these new cardinals are created at a consistory on Sept. 30, there will be 137 cardinal electors, three more than the previous high in 2001 under John Paul II. Seventy-two percent of the cardinal electors, who will elect the next pope, have been appointed by Francis, which makes it more likely that the next pope will continue the direction Francis has charted for the church.

To the Synod on Synodality, which will begin Oct. 4, Pope Francis appointed four U.S. cardinals and an archbishop who are close to him in thinking.

Among the non-episcopal delegates to the synod — priests and laymen and women — is the Jesuit priest the Rev. James Martin, editor at large for America Magazine and founder of Outreach, a ministry for LGBTQIA Catholics. Martin has been a frequent target of conservative Catholic activists but has been supported in his ministry by Francis. Martin could play a crucial role at the synod in discussions of LGBTQ Catholics. He is also very knowledgeable of Ignatian discernment, a prayerful process that will be key to the success of the synod.

The four U.S. cardinals are: Sean O’Malley, archbishop of Boston; Wilton Gregory, the archbishop of Washington, D.C.; Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago; and Robert McElroy, the bishop of San Diego. The other episcopal appointment is Archbishop Paul Etienne of Seattle.

Also attending the synod is Cardinal Joseph Tobin, archbishop of Newark, who is a member of the Vatican council that has been planning the synod, and Cardinal Kevin Farrell, an American who works in the Vatican Curia. All these prelates are loyal supporters of Francis and his policies. On the other hand, the American bishops selected for the synod by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are less enthusiastic in their support, although none publicly opposes Francis.

Not surprising was the selection of the USCCB president, Timothy Broglio, archbishop of the military services. Presidents are always elected to go to synods. Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, Texas, was another obvious choice because he has been the bishops’ point man on the synod. Also chosen were the chair of the USCCB committee on doctrine, Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana, as well as media-savvy Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, and conference favorite Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York.

The elections took place in secret, so we do not know who wanted to go but did not get chosen. It is noteworthy that the USCCB vice president, Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, was not chosen by the conference since he will most likely step up to be the bishops’ president in November of 2024 just after the Synod on Synodality concludes. It would have helped him in fulfilling his responsibilities as conference president if he had experienced the synod. If the synod is a big success, the bishops may want to elect as president someone who was there. READ MORE

Praise The Lord! Fresh Water Is Finally Reached At Glory Fellowship Orphanage In Kenya As Workers Break Through Solid Bedrock At 60 Feet Down

The Ground Gave Way And The Water Came: Glory Fellowship Orphanage In Kenya Reaches Fresh Water At 60 Feet As Operation Africa! Celebrates A Major Ministry Breakthrough

Praise the Lord—what an incredible answer to prayer! At sixty feet down, the drill finally broke through and water came rising out of the ground at the Glory Fellowship Orphanage. After sicknesses, contaminated water, emergency medicine, the new storage tank, and weeks of fundraising and labor, this photograph captures the moment everything changed. They were not merely digging a hole, they were digging toward life, health, stability, and a better future for those precious children God has opened the door for us to minister to.

“When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.” Isaiah 41:17 (KJB)

This is what the people of God can accomplish when compassion becomes action. A burden was shared, believers responded, workers showed up, the earth was opened, and God is blessing our efforts with water by allowing us to reach the water table! Long after the fundraising appeal is forgotten, that well will continue speaking with every bucket drawn, every meal prepared, every child washed, and every thirsty person refreshed will testify that Christians thousands of miles away cared enough to help.

Operation Africa! struck water today, and to God be all the glory!

In a little under 2 months, Operation Africa! has provided 1,100 Bibles, enough medicine to help heal 81 orphans sick with malaria and typhoid, a 10,000 liter water tank that was filled with clean water twice, and now today, the well we are building hit water 60 feeto down. This is nothing short of the miraculous, and a wonderful testimony of God touching people’s hearts to carry out His will here in the closing moments of the Church Age. Please pray for this outreach, and come help us!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this overwhelmingly urgent task of providing the children of Glory Fellowship Orphange with medicine and clean drinking water. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: President Trump Threatens Airstrikes On Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain Nuclear Facilities As Tehran Says They’ll Hit Israel

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Trump Says America Will Strike Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain “Very Heavily” As Tehran Warns The Attack Could Ignite A Wider War And Put Israel Directly In The Crosshairs

President Trump once assured the world that Iran’s nuclear program had been “obliterated.” Now the target list has grown to include Pickaxe Mountain, an underground fortress near Natanz that may contain thousands of centrifuges transferred there after the 2025 strikes. Trump says America will hit it “pretty soon” and “very heavily.” That is not the language of a president preparing to conclude a war; it is the language of a president preparing to open its next, and potentially most dangerous chapter. 3 US servicemen died in Iran missile fire just last weekend, bringing the total to 17 dead that the Department of War will admit to. This thing is not ending, it’s ramping up.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Pickaxe Mountain is reportedly buried even deeper than Fordow, beneath hundreds of feet of rock. America may be capable of sealing its entrances, destroying its ventilation and cutting its power, but completely eliminating whatever lies inside could require repeated bombardment or operations far beyond a single airstrike. Once again, Washington risks making a dramatic military declaration before knowing whether its weapons can accomplish the promised result. This could become another “mission accomplished” moment followed by the discovery that Iran’s nuclear machinery survived underground. A strike upon Pickaxe Mountain could therefore produce Iranian missiles over Tel Aviv, Israeli aircraft returning to Iranian airspace and American forces being pulled still deeper into an expanding regional war. That is the trap now forming. If Trump does not strike after repeatedly promising that he will, Iran will present it as American weakness. If he does strike, Tehran will be under enormous pressure to retaliate dramatically. Every American attack produces another Iranian response, and every Iranian response becomes the justification for an even larger American attack. Pickaxe Mountain is therefore more than another target on a military map—it may be the doorway through which Trump’s unfinished war becomes an uncontrollable confrontation involving Iran, Israel, the Gulf states and the United States. The Middle East is changing by the minute, and today we bring you the latest updates on World War Trump.

The Radical Left Turns On The Democratic Party As The Democratic Socialists Of America Make Their Authoritarian Power Play For Control Of Base

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

America At A Political Crossroads As Democratic Socialists Make Their Move And History Warns What Happens When Extremes Turn Fear Into Power

The Democratic Party spent years feeding the radical Left, excusing its rhetoric, empowering its activists and pretending that socialism was merely a more compassionate form of liberalism. Now the movement is growing beyond the party’s control. The Democratic Socialists of America are no longer content to protest from the sidelines; they want candidates, political offices, institutions and eventually the machinery of government itself. The Democratic establishment believed it could use the socialists for votes, but the socialists appear determined to use the Democratic Party as their vehicle to power.

“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34 (KJB)

That places America at a dangerous political crossroads. Germany faced its own version of this crisis during the collapse of the Weimar Republic, when communist revolutionaries and militant nationalists battled for control of a frightened, divided and economically wounded nation. The rise of communism terrified millions of Germans, and Adolf Hitler exploited that fear by presenting the Nazi Party as the only force strong enough to restore order. The radicals on the Left strengthened the radicals on the Right, and the radicals on the Right used the threat from the Left to justify increasingly authoritarian power.

That is the trap now beginning to appear in America. As the revolutionary Left becomes louder, more aggressive and more openly hostile toward capitalism, private property, law enforcement and the constitutional order, millions of Americans will naturally demand someone strong enough to stop it. But desperation can make a nation surrender its liberties to the very leaders who promise to save it. One side declares that the system must be dismantled, while the other insists that extraordinary power is necessary to preserve it. In that atmosphere, constitutional restraints begin to look like weaknesses, political opponents become enemies and authoritarianism is marketed as protection.

Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin were not harmless revolutionaries or misunderstood reformers. They were totalitarian, murderous rulers whose governments imprisoned, starved, purged and killed tens of millions of human beings. Any political movement that romanticizes these men, excuses their crimes or borrows their revolutionary language should be treated as a flashing warning sign. But Americans must also understand that fear of communism has historically been used to elevate dictators, militarize politics and silence lawful opposition. The answer to Marxist revolution is not fascist reaction, both roads lead away from liberty.

America is therefore under political siege from more than one direction. The deepest danger is not simply the rise of the DSA or any single faction. It is the collapse of the political center that once recognized opponents as fellow citizens, elections as legitimate and constitutional limits as binding. When both sides become convinced that losing an election means losing the country forever, compromise becomes treason and political violence begins to appear justified. The Democratic Party is alarmed because it is beginning to realize that the DSA does not merely want a seat at the table. It wants to rebuild the table, choose who may sit there and remove those who refuse to submit. Meanwhile, an increasingly angry Right may decide that only concentrated power can defeat the socialist threat. That is how a free people become trapped between revolution and reaction, each side using the other to frighten the public into surrendering more power.

The answer to this problem is not “more Trump” and more “MAGA”, the answer is found in the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Indepence. This is how the “grand experiment” continues, and the ignoring of these things is how it will come to an end.

America does not have to repeat Germany’s descent, but history is sounding the alarm. Our nation must reject socialism, political violence, totalitarian romanticism and authoritarian government—regardless of which party or personality offers them. The real battle is not simply Democrat against Republican or Left against Right. It is constitutional liberty against every movement that believes its cause is so righteous that laws, elections and individual rights may be pushed aside. America is standing at the crossroads, and the road it chooses will determine whether the republic survives. The political siege is real, but the choice is not between communist revolution and authoritarian retaliation. The choice is between preserving constitutional government and allowing fear, rage and ideological extremism to tear it apart.
