The cited article from VaticanNews (March 15, 2026) reports on the launch of a synodality formation manual by the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA). Bishop Bernardin Francis Mfumbusa of Kondoa Diocese, Tanzania, whose address was delivered by Bishop Edwin Mwansa Mulandu of Mpika Diocese, Zambia, stated that the success of synodality implementation depends entirely on the bishops. The manual, developed through a “collaborative” process involving clergy, religious, and laypeople, is presented as the tool for this transformation. Priests are identified as “the first point of encounter” for the synodal vision. The article frames this as a continuation of the “journey” mandated by the antipope “Leo XIV” and rooted in the “spirit” of Vatican II’s Optatam Totius and Presbyterorum Ordinis.
The thesis is clear: the conciliar sect is actively exporting its revolutionary, apostate principle of “synodality”—a disguised form of democratic naturalism—to the African continent, using local bishops as agents of the revolution and framing the destruction of hierarchical, monarchical Church governance as “formation.”
