Synodal Consistory Embodies Apostate Church’s Rejection of Divine Authority
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 7, 2026) reports on an “extraordinary consistory” convened by antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”), wherein he declared: “I am here to listen” to cardinals of the conciliar sect. The gathering, framed by references to the Synod on Synodality (2023-2024), promotes a “synodal dynamic” predicated on horizontal dialogue rather than doctrinal certainty. Prevost outlined four discussion themes: the apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, the apostolic constitution Praedicate Evangelium, “synod and synodality,” and the liturgy. He invoked Vatican II’s Lumen Gentium and quoted Bergoglio (“Francis”) and Ratzinger (“Benedict XVI”) to justify this “path of synodality,” claiming it enables a “missionary Church” through “attraction” rather than conversion.
