The Betrayal Of Faithful Chinese Catholics Will Continue -- For FOUR MORE YEARS!!!

 The treasonous apostates that currently occupy and control the workings of the (new!) novus ordo "church," have cemented -- and renewed -- their diabolical deal with the Red Chinese Communists, that, for all practical purposes, is leading to the dismantling of the Catholic faith on mainland China.

If you can believe it, instead of the deal being approved for two years, it has been extended for four years!

What this "deal" is supposed to do is to let the Reds choose the bishops for the so-called "Catholic Patriotic Association" and have those bishops then approved by the pope.  But, in reality, those demons, dressed in sheep's clothing, are installed in those bishoprics regardless of the Vatican's input.

So much for "dialogue," yet all in for betrayal of those underground faithful Chinese Catholics through appeasement and compromise...

Remember, this demonic plan to wipe out true Catholicism in China was implemented by the pervert-apostate, McCarrick, at the behest of Bergoglio!

Truly sick!

Vatican renews its secretive deal with China for appointing bishops - LifeSite

"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — The Holy See has renewed its secretive deal with China, according to a spokesman for the Chinese government today.

During a regular press conference October 22, Beijing spokesman Lin Jian revealed that the Chinese government has renewed its 2018 deal with the Holy See, this time for four years instead of the previous norm of two years.

“The achievement and the implementation of the agreement have been commended from both sides,” Lin stated, referring to the 2018 deal on the appointment of bishops in China.

He added:

Through friendly consultations, the two sides have decided to extend the agreement for another four years. The two sides will maintain talks with a constructive spirit and continue to advance the improvement of China-Vatican relations.

Emblematic of the deal in recent years, it was China who announced the renewal of the deal some hours before the Vatican gave any comment.

In the customary noon press release, the Holy See stated:

In light of the consensus reached for an effective application of the Provisional Agreement regarding the Appointment of Bishops, after appropriate consultation and assessment, the Holy See and the People’s Republic of China have agreed to extend further its validity for four years from the present date.

The Vatican Party remains dedicated to furthering the respectful and constructive dialogue with the Chinese Party, in view of the further development of bilateral relations for the benefit of the Catholic Church in China and the Chinese people as a whole

 The officially secret deal is believed to recognize the state-approved church in China and allows the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to appoint bishops. The Pope apparently maintains veto power, although in practice it is the CCP that has control. It also allegedly allows for the removal of legitimate bishops to be replaced by CCP-approved bishops.

In a 2018 letter to Chinese Catholics, Francis described the deal as forming a “new chapter of the Catholic Church in China.” Speaking on the papal plane recently, Francis affirmed his pleasure with how the relationship is proceeding: “Yes, I’m pleased with the dialogues with China. The results are good. Even for the appointment of bishops, things are progressing with good will.”

The Vatican’s Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin confirmed to this correspondent earlier this year that the Holy See aimed to renew the deal. Parolin has served as the Vatican’s secretary of state and chief diplomat since October 2013 and has been in the Holy See’s diplomatic service since 1986. Intimately involved in orchestrating the deal from the beginning, he has emerged as the foremost public defender of the deal alongside the Pope.

Speaking in July 2023, Parolin defended the secretive nature of the deal, stating that “the text is confidential because it has not yet been finally approved.” The deal “revolves around the basic principle of consensuality of decisions affecting bishops” and is effected by “trusting in the wisdom and goodwill of all,” said Parolin last summer.

Various Vatican sources also confided to certain members of the Vatican press corps that relations between Beijing and the Vatican have apparently “made progress” of late. This, the officials said, was largely due to the current bishop of Hong Kong, Cardinal Stephen Chow, S.J., who has highlighted a spirit of “dialogue” between the two parties.

However, so marked have been Chow’s signs of appeasement to Beijing that a report warned that his Diocese of Hong Kong was actively working with the CCP to effect “sinicization” – the process of CCP state-assimilation and control.

The highly secretive deal has been styled by Cardinal Joseph Zen, bishop emeritus of Hong Kong, as an “incredible betrayal,” with the much-loved cardinal further accusing the Vatican of “selling out” Chinese Catholics.

While Parolin has defended the deal as a necessary means of “dialogue” with the Communist authorities, the deal has led to a heightened increase in religious persecution since it was signed. The ink had barely dried on the deal in 2018 before AsiaNews, a website that regularly documents the abduction and torture of underground Catholics, reported that “(u)nderground Catholics bitterly suspect that the Vatican has abandoned them.”

Such persecution the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China described as a direct consequence of the deal. In its 2020 report, the commission wrote that the persecution witnessed is “of an intensity not seen since the Cultural Revolution.”

The commission’s latest 2023 report released this May – covering the period from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023 – highlighted a similar situation:

The Chinese Communist Party and government have continued their efforts to assert control over Catholic leadership, community life, and religious practice, installing two bishops in contravention of the 2018 Sino-Vatican agreement and accelerating the integration of the church in Hong Kong with the PRC-based, state-sponsored Catholic Patriotic Association and its Party-directed ideology.

“During the Commission’s 2023 reporting year, officials exerted pressure on both registered and unregistered Catholic communities, taking coercive action against churches and detaining members of the clergy,” the report reads.

It gave evidence of priests arrested by the Chinese authorities and subjected to “a program of political indoctrination, after which several consented to join the official church, while authorities have kept those who did not consent under surveillance and prevented them from exercising their pastoral ministry roles.”

“All bishops who refuse to join the Catholic Patriotic Association are being placed under house arrest, or disappeared, by the CCP,” China expert Steven Moser told LifeSiteNews earlier this year. “Although the Vatican said several years ago that the Sino-Vatican agreement does not require anyone to join this schismatic organization, refusal to do so results in persecution and punishment. And the Vatican stands by and does nothing.” 

Only days ago, one of the two CCP bishops present at the Synod on Synodality lauded the Sino-Vatican deal on the synod floor.

Bishop Joseph Yang Yongqiang added that in China “we effectively adapt to society, serve it, adhere to the direction of the sinicization of Catholicism, and preach the Good News.”

It remains to be seen now whether the Vatican considers that the deal – renewed for four years at the start of its sixth year of existence – is still to be kept confidential, or whether in fact it has been officially approved by either party."

Please pray for those faithful Chinese Catholics and their continued perseverance in the face of the treasonous actions by the supposed "leaders" of the (novus ordo) church in Rome!

Pray too for strength and honor because if Trump does not win next month, then we in the U.S. may face the same fate as our Chinese brothers and sisters in the faith.  I can assure you that is not hyperbole!

Time Not Ripe For Women Deacons Says Pope. ..."For The Moment"...

 For the moment???

But what about tomorrow or next week or next month or next year???

Bet your bottom dollar (which is sinking fast!) that heretical female ordination will happen...

Here is classic doubletalk from apostate Rome: Time not ripe for women deacons says pope

Time not ripe for women deacons says pope© Provided by ANSA

"(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 21 - The time is not ripe for women to be ordained as deacons in the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has said according to the head of the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog speaking Monday. The Pope has closed the door, "for the moment", to the ordination of women to the diaconate, the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, told the Synod of Bishops. "The Pope has (said) that at this moment the question of the female diaconate is not ripe and has asked that we not dwell on this possibility," Fernandez told the members of the Synod. (ANSA)."

Pray for the defeat of these traitors and modernist monsters!

The Modernists Feel Safe And Secure Now That All Religions Are Paths To God!

 The following information is nothing new, but it is important to see where the heresies proclaimed by apostate Rome have led: everyone can now get to Heaven, so they say, regardless of whether you believe in Christ and are Baptized into His one, true, Catholic Church, founded on the rock of St. Peter, or not!

It should also be noted that almost every day of the week, the secular, mainstream media -- especially on-line media -- run puff pieces on the errors, heresies, scandal and confusion of the Bishop of Rome, Bergoglio, and his deviant crew of heretics and, dare I say, sodomites?

I'll post this entire article but be forewarned: you will read massive heresies and errors proclaimed right before your eyes!

I might add, this is all planned as part of the new, novus ordo synodal "church," made in the image and likeness of man, devoid of the Holy Ghost and the sanctifying grace that is absolutely necessary for salvation of every human creature...

Pope Francis: ‘All religions are paths to God’ written by 

Story by Dr. José Mario Bautista Maximiano and Thaddeus Noel G. Laput
"In his famous work, “Anonymous Christianity,” the great Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner claims that the benefits of Christ’s redemptive sacrifice are not confined to the boundaries of any particular religious tradition or by our awareness or acceptance of Christian doctrine.
To which German theologian Hans Küng responded by saying that “any sincere Jew, Muslim or atheist would assert it is presumptuous to claim that he is an ‘anonymous Christian.”
 

Recall now the fatherly presence of Pope Francis last month in an ecumenical nation. Singapore is a city state like the Vatican, but unlike the Vatican, it is a sovereign nation of minority Catholics living in harmony with various religious groups.

During the “Interreligious Meeting with Young People” in that nation, the Holy Father highlighted the importance of interfaith dialogue and the pursuit of peace, emphasizing that different religions can lead individuals to God.

The Holy Father articulated his thoughts and said, “All religions are paths to God.”

In his long-standing commitment to fostering a spirit of collaboration and mutual respect among various faith traditions, His Holiness suggested the possibility of the grace of salvation outside the boundaries of the Christian community, nearly along the line of reasoning of Karl Rahner’s “Anonymous Christianity.”

Nonetheless, this single statement has sparked significant discussions and even outrageous debates, particularly concerning its implications for Catholic teaching.

For centuries until Vatican Council II (1962-1965), the prevailing doctrine was this: Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, or “outside the Church there is no salvation.”

While some critics view the Pope’s statement as a deviation from traditional Catholic doctrine, a closer examination of Pope Francis’ inclusivism is deemed consistent with the teachings of Vatican II, particularly Lumen Gentium (LG), the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Nostra Aetate (NA)the Declaration on Interreligious Dialogue and Ad Gentes (AG), the Decree on the Mission of the Church.

“Those who have not yet received the Gospel are related in various ways to the People of God” (LG 16).

Others may be saved “who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, yet sincerely seek God and, moved by grace, strive by their deeds to do His will as it is known to them through the dictates of conscience” (LG 16).

“Nor does Divine Providence deny the helps necessary for salvation to those who, without blame on their part, have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God and with His grace strive to live a good life” (LG 16).

“One final goal [of all] is God. His providence, His manifestations of goodness, His saving design extend to all men, until that time when the elect will be united in the Holy City, the city ablaze with the glory of God, where the nations will walk in His light” (NA 1).

“The seeds of the Word which lie hidden among their fellows [other religious traditions…] sometimes planted by God in ancient cultures already prior to the preaching of the Gospel” (AG 18).

The Pope’s statement is not off the cuff. That “all religions are paths to God” must be viewed in the context of his pastoral ecclesiology and synodality. The only correct interpretation is along the lines of the hermeneutic of continuity and the hermeneutic of reform.

First, it means the Holy Father is committed to continuing the complete implementation of the pastoral ecclesiology and reforms of Vatican II.

And secondly, while all the baptized are specifically called to take part in the synodal process, no one—no matter what their religious affiliations are—is excluded. It means that not only those who believe in Christ are called to participate, for Vatican II teaches with authority that “all human beings are called to the new people of God” (Lumen Gentium, 13), hence listening to and conversing with all religions are meaningful.

Synodality and dialogue with other religions do not mean forgetting that Jesus Christ is the definitive revelation of God, the one Savior of all, and the unique Mediator between God and humankind (Catechism of the Catholic Church 480).

Synodality and the attitude of respect and dialogue, far from opposing the proclamation of the Gospel, prepare it like planting the seed of the Word (AG 18).

If we scrutinize more deeply, Pope Francis’ statement, “All religions are paths to God,” encourages a humble acknowledgment that God can operate in ways beyond human comprehension and within diverse cultural and spiritual contexts.

 “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26)."

José Mario Bautista Maximiano is the author of the 3-volume work on Church Reforms (Claretian, 2023, 2024, 2025) and the author of the 3-volume work on 500 Years of Christianity in the Philippines (Claretian, 2021, 2022). Thaddeus Noel G. Laput is a Catholic philosopher and a hospice chaplain in Los Angeles, California.

End of article...
Notice the heretic referenced in the article?

Notice that being in the true Church of Our Lord is not necessary for salvation?

Notice the cavalier attitude, in other words, the feeling that these modernist monsters now feel safe and secure in their ability to reach God by the back door, without having to enter through the narrow gate of the true Church!?
 
This is what the "teachings" of Bergoglio has wrought since his installation in 2013.
  
Keep in mind that he wants a "different church," his words not mine...

We must resist to the face these traitors to Christ and His Elect flock -- and for their conversion!

Strong Warning From (REAL!) Cardinal Zen: Synod Aims ‘To Overthrow’ Church’s Hierarchy For ‘A Democratic System’

 The once-prisoner of the Red Chinese, Cardinal Zen, stated: 'Obviously, the purpose of this conference was to overthrow the hierarchical class of the church and implement a democratic system,' wrote Cardinal Joseph Zen about the Synod on Synodality.

BREAKING: Cardinal Zen warns Synod aims ‘to overthrow’ Church’s hierarchy for ‘a democratic system’ - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Joseph Zen has issued a strong warning about the Synod on Synodality and the persistent division resulting from Fiducia Supplicans, saying the “future of the Church” is “uncertain” unless issues are resolved.

“I feel most anxious about how this so-called ‘synodality’ of the Synod of Bishops can be concluded smoothly,” began Zen, the emeritus bishop of Hong Kong.

The cardinal’s latest essay, published October 17, renews his prior concern and criticism about the Synod on Synodality, but also ties in to the controversial 2023 declaration Fiducia Supplicans which approved same-sex “blessings.”

Synodality to ‘overthrow’ the Church’s hierarchy

Zen presented a traditional understanding of a synod, explaining that “there is a church document that explains the Synod (meeting), an important historical fact of the Church, that the Synod is a structure in history through which the hierarchy leads the Church.”

The Synod on Synodality is comprised of lay and clerical voters, in a seismic change which has prompted much criticism that it is no longer a Synod of Bishops. Synod leaders have persistently posited the “common dignity of Baptism” as the rationale behind lay and clerical voters present at the Synod.

But Zen warned that while all the Church should engage in “the mission of evangelization,” only “the hierarchy can ensure the direction of the Church’s journey and safeguard the content of the faith handed down from the apostles. Jesus entrusted the Church to the ‘apostolic college headed by Peter,’ and the successors of the apostles are the bishops.”

The synod’s multi-year process and large scale plan for involving people was “unprecedented in its scale,” commented Zen.

But he raised concerns about the procedure:

At the continental level, the central secretariat clearly exercised strict control using specific procedures: emphasis on sharing and avoidance of discussion. Unexpectedly, the same approach was used at the official Synod.

“The Pope had the right to convene any advisory meeting, but the Synod of Bishops pioneered by Pope Paul VI was specifically designed to enable the Pope to hear the opinions of his brother bishops,” he added. “With ‘non-bishops voting together, it was no longer a Synod of Bishops.”

Outlining a way for the meeting to be true to the identity of a synod, Zen opined that “it should return to the way it was when the Synod was first established, which worked well for many years: that is, to let the bishops lead, discuss and vote, and present their recommendations to the Pope for his consideration as fellow bishops.”

He urged his fellow bishops to “fight for more power, and at least prevent non-bishops from voting with them.”

Same-sex blessings

Zen levied particular criticism at Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, S.J. – Relator General of the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops; Cardinal Mario Grech – Secretary General of the General Secretariat of the Synod; and Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández – prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith:

From the beginning of this synod, the two cardinals leading the assembly and the Pope’s appointed head of the doctrinal office did not emphasize preserving the faith, but emphasized making changes to, in particular, the operational structure of the Church and its ethical teachings; and the ethical justification of “sex,” especially regarding homosexual relationships.

Zen made reference to the famous Dubia he issued with four other cardinals last year which pertained, among other things, to the subject of same-sex “blessings.” The Pope’s lengthy reply, approving same-sex “blessings” in some cases, came just one day later – which prompted Zen last year to suggest it had been pre-written by the synod leaders.

This charge he repeated in his new essay: “The answer could not have been written by the Pope himself that day. It was obviously prepared by the person in charge of the conference to support their arguments for changing the Church’s doctrine.”

Confusion must be resolved for future of the Church

Zen has been a leading critic of Fiducia Supplicans, calling on its author, Cardinal Fernández, to resign while warning that it is “a heresy when you call a sin as something good.”

Francis and Fernández have stated that the document is not up for further discussion, something which Zen now styled as “a rude act, not allowing the bishops to discuss it, and ‘they’ have reached a conclusion on that issue.”

He highlighted the “major split within the church and chaos among the faithful” following the document’s release last December. “This was rare in the history of the Church,” he said, adding that while “the Pope and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith expressed their ‘understanding’ in the face of this situation,” they did not withdraw the document.

“Will this issue be discussed at the 2024 meeting?” he queried.

Zen urged his brother bishops to persuade the Pope not to implement Fiducia Supplicans, and warned that if the issue “is not resolved at the meeting [Synod 2024] the future of the Church will be very uncertain”:

I would have thought that at least the question of blessing same-sex partnerships should be spared endless debate. I hope the bishops will persuade the Pope to decide to postpone the implementation of that statement sine die (indefinitely). Jesus told Peter, “Tu aliquando conversus, confirma fratres tuos” [“thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren,” not] After you have thoroughly considered it, confirm your brothers.

If this issue is not resolved at the meeting, the future of the Church will be very uncertain, because some friends of the patriarch and the pope who insist on changing Church traditions continue to vigorously promote their plans.

He decried the LGBT lobby which he described as “actively promoting their plans outside the assembly hall while the assembly is in session,” as evidenced by recent events hosted by Father James Martin and New Ways Ministry.

“What is worrying is that even those so-called ‘new pastoral ministers’ who advocate gender change have been warmly received by the Pope in recent days,” continued Zen, making a direct reference to to New Ways Ministry’s papal audience last weekend.

Synod to split the Church?

Members of the synod are currently discussing whether to afford local bishops’ conferences increased autonomy, including on whether to be able to decide doctrine on a local level. The question has reportedly received pushback in the synod hall, but it remains to be seen what the final document will recommend to the Pope.

READ: Synod proposal could give ‘doctrinal authority’ to local bishops’ conferences

Warning about this focus and synodality itself, Zen said that “this is tantamount to discussing whether lay people should have more rights to ‘share’ the responsibilities of hierarchical ‘pastors.’”

“If those advocating this change cannot win over the whole Church, will they fight for diversity among local churches?,” he questioned.

Will individual Bishops’ Conferences have an independent position on matters of faith? This is a frightening prospect. If this idea succeeds, we will no longer be Catholic (the Anglican Church in London has approved same-sex marriage, and their followers have become a minority of less than 20% of the global Anglican Church. Can we not be vigilant?)

The cardinal closed by recommending his readers not to be anxious but to turn to prayer and penance in the timeless custom of the Church:

It is useless for us to be anxious about these problems. Fasting, praying (especially the rosary)! We must never despair."

Recognizing Heresy And Apostasy Is Different Than Judging Someone To Be A Heretic Or An Apostate!

 God gave us practicing Catholics a mind and an intellect to be able to judge right from wrong, good from evil, orthodoxy from heresy, by the standards of what the Church has always and everywhere taught and believed down through the centuries as opposed to the novelty and modernism of the present day.

If we don't make such judgments, we will be held accountable for our actions or inactions, whether by our words or what flows from our pens and what we pound out on our keyboards.

Dare!  Dare anyone compromising with or appeasing the heterodoxy and zeitgeist that has been emanating from those wolves in sheep's clothing simply to go along to get along -- for so-called "church unity" -- are not worthy of calling themselves followers of Christ, Our Lord!

If we have to suffer for Christ, then so be it.  But if we submit to error, heresy, scandal and confusion, then we are not Catholic, period!

What we must do, is to continue to pray -- and act! -- like true Catholics and shun the lunacy we see in the new, novus ordo "church"!

The aim of the current regime in Rome is to create a different "church" -- this is not my opinion, but a stated fact in the documents and the lexicon of synodality.

Can this new "church" get any worse??

The answer is a resounding, yes!

By the way, what is synodality, exactly?  Can anyone figure that one out??

In closing, please continue to resist -- to the face! -- any cleric who is willing and able to compromise and preach a false gospel (as St. Paul condemned in his epistle!). 

Pray too, for strength and honor!

Satan Possess The Intellects Of The Novus Ordo Hierarchy! The Bizarre Conspiracy Of The Sodomites And Their Accomplices In The Vatican -- And The U.S.

 Ever since the 90-plus-minute meeting of the diabolical creatures mentioned in this article -- who have mutilated their bodies, "changing" their birth sex to some hellish Frankenstein, man-made creation -- and the presumed pope, new information has surfaced that further reveals the real aim of apostate Rome and their accomplices in the U.S.: to forever change the unchangeable Church teaching on the sin that cries to Heaven for vengeance! 

From lifesitenews.com and written by Michael Haynes, Snr. Vatican Correspondent

Pope Francis said he will consider 'openness' to 'transgender people' when naming new US bishops: report - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

The subheading: Pope Francis allegedly ‘said that when he appoints new bishops in the US he will consider their openness to [so-called] transgender people as a criteria,’ according to a member of a meeting between Francis and the LGBT activist group New Ways Ministry.

"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Two people who participated in Pope Francis’ private meeting with New Ways Ministry on Saturday have attested that the Pope committed to consider “openness to transgender people” as a criteria for appointing new U.S. bishops.

According to Deacon Raymond Dever, who was cited in The Times, Francis was impacted by the closed-door meeting he had with LGBT activists.

The Times reported Dever – who was one of the 11 guests of Francis in the meeting – as saying that “Francis mentioned that situations experienced by [so-called] transgender people will be more on his mind.”

Dever added that “He [Francis] said that when he appoints new bishops in the US he will consider their openness to transgender[-identified] people as a criteria.”

The Times cited another member of the meeting who attested hearing the quoted comment from Francis.

LifeSiteNews contacted New Ways Ministry – the LGBT group that sponsored the meeting – asking if they could confirm the remarks attributed to Pope Francis, but did not receive an answer.

Held on Saturday, the meeting between Francis and the New Ways Ministry group lated nearly 90 minutes.

The guests “urged” Francis “to move past the Church’s negative approach” to so-called “gender-diverse people, and to encourage Church leaders to listen more attentively” to what they called “the lives and faith of LGBTQ+ people.”

READ: Pope urged to approve ‘sex changes’ during meeting with New Ways Ministry

Dever was one of five people in the meeting who shared a personal testimony with Francis. A retired married deacon, Dever is father of a “transgender” male who attempted suicide after “transitioning.”

Delivering his testimony to Francis, Dever stated about his son (now living as a “woman”) that “with our unconditional love and support, [he] eventually came out and transitioned fully, socially, legally, and medically, a process that took almost 10 years – if [he] hadn’t done that, [he] probably wouldn’t be alive today.”

However, transgender drugs have been linked to bone density losssuicide risk, and other major medical problems and can leave individuals permanently infertile. Transgender surgeries aim to remove healthy organs, including genitals, thus making individuals infertile and mutilated.


Dever claimed that gender-confused people “are being excluded from the life of the church in too many dioceses and parishes – they are denied the sacraments, they are not allowed to attend Catholic schools.”

Instead, Dever and his wife urged the Church “to talk about, to learn, and to discern the truth about these issues.”

Catholic teaching rejects transgender ideology, affirms the reality of the two sexes, and condemns bodily mutilation, such as “gender transition” procedures, as “against the moral law.”

Another individual who testified at the meeting was “Michael Sennett,” a “transgender man” involved in church work “for many years,” who told Francis that he appreciated having had “sex-change” surgery.

There are a number of U.S. episcopal sees which could become vacant in the coming years as bishops reach the age of 75, at which point they submit their retirement to Francis who makes a decision on whether to accept it.

A number of prelates already seen as very much in line with Francis’ thinking, and open to LGBT issues, are already in key sees. Indeed, just two days before the NWM meeting Francis met with three of the U.S. bishops who conform to this description.

Cardinals Joseph Tobin, Blase Cupich and Robert McElroy were all received in private audience, with Tobin telling journalists the next day that he had personally requested it.

He said briefly that they discussed the Church, synodality, and “discernment,” stating that they are topics that the three cardinals talk about amongst themselves.

Notably, D.C. Cardinal Wilton Gregory was not present, stating later that “I didn’t get the invitation.”

NWM was co-founded by Sister Jeannine Gramick, the heterodox pro-LGBT nun whose official Vatican censure remains in place, though she has received signal favor from Francis in recent years.

Gramick was personally censured by the Vatican in 1999, and in 2010 the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) further declared that New Ways Ministry “has no approval or recognition from the Catholic Church” to speak on the LGBT issue."

But they don't care, because all they want is to fulfill their sexual lust and corrupt other confused and scandalized "Catholics," instead of being true shepherds as their office dictates!  

Traitors!

Not only that, but they also want a "new church" that embraces the zeitgeist and the soon to arrive (?) anti-Christ!
