"Leo XIV Continues Francis' Program, Empowers Hardened Synodalists"
But: “The cold shower (or rather, a whole series of cold showers) quickly woke me from that dream in the form of statements fully in line with the Bergoglian disaster and a succession of ‘peace & love’ initiatives, marked by a shallow humanitarianism completely devoid of references to transcendence, sin, conversion, and the salvation of the soul.”
On the consistory on Friday and Saturday, he writes: “Under Leo XIV, the Church is not merely avoiding any reversal of course; it is enthusiastically reaffirming the synodal model, transforming it into a permanent method of ecclesial governance.”
Valli points to the names of the cardinals (Ryś, Fernández, Brislin, and Grech) chosen to lead the principal sessions. It is, he says, a gathering of hardened synodalists, united by a complete lack of credibility: “An ideological soviet.”
He notes what is not being addressed: the crisis in the liturgy, doctrinal problems, declining religious practice, and the euthanasia of religious life.
Valli’s summary: “The cook has changed, but not the menu. And anyone who raises a hand to point out that the menu itself is not merely unappetizing but actually poisonous is politely ushered into the section reserved for the reprobates who need to be ‘normalized.’ Then you run into some conservative friend who tells you that we need patience and should trust Leo. And you feel like crying—for your friend, for the papacy, and for the Church.”
