Synodal Workshop in Uganda: Modernist Subversion of Seminary Formation
The Vatican News portal (November 13, 2025) reports on a two-day formation workshop at Uganda Martyrs’ Major Seminary, organized by the African Synodality Initiative (ASI). The event promoted “synodality as a way of life” under the guise of fostering “communion, participation, and mission.” Facilitators included Fr. Agbonkhianmeghe Orobator, SJ, Fr. Marcel Uwineza, SJ, Sr. Anne Arabome, SSS, and lay practitioners who employed methods like “Conversation in the Spirit” to advance communal discernment. This initiative, part of ASI’s continental program, aims to prepare African clergy and laity for the 2028 Ecclesial Assembly, openly rejecting the hierarchical and doctrinal integrity of the Catholic Church.
