Synodality and Secular Partnerships Replace the Supernatural Mission of the Church
VaticanNews portal reports on the 6th International Edition of the Talitha Kum Leadership Training Course held in Thailand, where 30 participants from 23 countries gathered to promote education, grassroots leadership, and international cooperation to combat human trafficking and modern exploitation. The event, coordinated by the Talitha Kum International/International Union of Superiors General (UISG) in Rome and supported by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, featured presentations on integrating anti-trafficking education into school curricula and addressing digital technology’s role in trafficking. While the scourge of human trafficking is a grave evil that demands a response rooted in Catholic moral theology, the article reveals a thoroughly modernist framework that substitutes naturalistic humanism, secular partnerships, and the conciliar obsession with “synodality” for the supernatural mission of the Church — the salvation of souls through the preaching of the Gospel and the administration of the sacraments.
