Bishop Eleganti: “We Have Enough Homosexuals in the Clergy”
Retired Swiss Bishop Marian Eleganti wrote a blog post on May 21 about the synodal “occupational therapy” ordered by the Vatican. Main points slightly shortened.
- What comes from Rome — the workshop behind the universally proclaimed synodal process — is human wisdom. Apparently, its protagonists have nothing better to do than keep issuing instructions to local churches on how to manage and sustain this synodal process, a stillbirth from the start.
- It is the full-time actors of this dysfunctional, committee-run Church who busy themselves - at great expense - with commissioned management tools and synodal papers.
- Nothing comes of it except ever more documents to read, heterodox study results, and newly invented committees — on top of the many already existing ones.
- By now, it has become clear what this process aims at: restructuring the Church’s longstanding doctrinal positions on divorce and remarriage, homosexuality and the broader queer agenda, the synodal democratization of Church leadership, new offices for women, and ecumenical and interreligious initiatives at the expense of the Church’s Catholic identity.
- The promoted inclusion chiefly concerns the normalization of homosexuality within the Church and amounts to a revision of teachings that have been reiterated for decades. Much fuss surrounds an agenda that is ultimately easy to see through.
- Apparently, there are enough homosexuals within the clergy and Church hierarchy who, as persistently as in wider society, continue pressing the rainbow agenda at every opportunity and seem convinced they are closer than ever to achieving their goal.
- But they are reckoning without the much-invoked Holy Spirit, who takes entirely different paths. Just look at the many young candidates for baptism — a growing phenomenon, yet hardly a fruit of the synodal process.
