Synodal Sentimentalism Replaces Christ’s Kingship in Manila Conference
The Vatican News portal reports on the 12th Philippine Conference on New Evangelization (PCNE XII), held at the Pontifical University of Santo Tomas in Manila, where the Pro-Prefect of the “Dicastery for Evangelization,” “Cardinal” Luis Antonio Tagle, and the “Archbishop” of Manila, “Cardinal” Jose Advincula, presented a vision of evangelization reduced to “authentic friendship” and “patient accompaniment.” Framed by the “Synod on Synodality” implementation phase, the event promoted a missionary paradigm devoid of the Cross, dogma, the necessity of Baptism, the Social Kingship of Christ, and the extra ecclesiam nulla salus doctrine. This is not a renewal of the apostolic mandate but the institutionalization of a naturalistic, immanentist humanitarianism that serves the religion of man.
