Pro-Life Academy Calls For Withdrawal Of Synod Report On Same-Sex Relations...

"YOU WILL BE REMOVED"
"I am your God, and I say unto you: continue to change My Church and you will fall! You will build a secular church, bringing in all--even heretics, even homosexuals. All aberrations condemned by the Eternal Father, you will permit in the name of humanism. Nay, no! I say unto you as your God. You will be given a short reign, for I consider you then an abomination, and as such you will be removed." - Jesus, May 23, 1979

AGAINST NATURE
"Homosexuality shall always be condemned, because it is against the nature of man *; and it is a violation of all human morality, and shall not be tolerated by the Eternal Father in the Trinity." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 5, 1985

By Edward Pentin

The John Paul II Academy for Human Life and the Family has issued an open letter sharply criticising the Synod Study Group 9 report on same-sex relations, warning that its proposed “paradigm shift” departs from Catholic teaching and divine Revelation in favour of the “spirit of the age.”

The academy argues that the text is incompatible with the Church’s understanding of Revelation, risks reviving condemned modernist errors, and “touches the very integrity of the Catholic faith,” particularly by appearing to normalise or bless unions based on acts the Catechism calls “intrinsically disordered,” and by speaking positively about children being adopted and raised by same-sex couples.

The letter, addressed to Cardinal Mario Grech, secretary general of the Synod of Bishops, questions whether the report truly reflects the faith of ordinary practising Catholics. It suggests instead that it emerges from ecclesial circles long intent on revising Catholic teaching on sexuality and family life, and accuses the process of selectively using testimonies in an “ideologically predetermined” way rather than through genuine ecclesial discernment.

Noting that similar positions were previously rejected by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under John Paul II and Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the academy expresses “grave concern” that the wider synodal process is becoming a vehicle for doctrinal ambiguity or capitulation to contemporary ideological currents, and therefore calls for the Study Group 9 report to be urgently withdrawn so that the Church can offer the faithful clarity, continuity, and confidence that the deposit of faith will be preserved without compromise.

The John Paul II Academy for Human Life and the Family is an independent Catholic academy founded in 2017 by former members of the Pontifical Academy for Life to continue and develop Saint John Paul II’s magisterial vision on the dignity of human life, marriage, and the family.

The full text:

An Open Letter to His Eminence Cardinal Mario Grech

Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops

Vatican City

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.”— Galatians 1:8

Your Eminence,

On behalf of the John Paul II Academy for Human Life and the Family, we write to express our profound alarm regarding the inclusion of the report of Study Group n° 9 on controversial doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues among the documents intended for Phase III of the implementation of the Synod on Synodality. We respectfully but firmly urge that this report be withdrawn from consideration.

Our concern is not merely disciplinary or prudential; it touches the very integrity of the Catholic faith. The methodological “paradigm shift” proposed in the report appears to imply a conception of divine Revelation incompatible with Catholic doctrine. The Catholic Church has always taught that public Revelation is complete in Jesus Christ and closed with the death of the last Apostle. Any suggestion that the Holy Spirit may inspire doctrinal or moral responses contrary to the perennial teaching of the Church risks reviving errors historically associated with theological Modernism, repeatedly rejected by the Magisterium. Authentic development of doctrine deepens understanding of revealed truth; it does not overturn truths already definitively taught.

Equally troubling is the implication that Catholic moral doctrine should be adapted to prevailing cultural mores. The Church’s mission has never been to conform herself to the spirit of the age, but to proclaim the truth in season and out of season. The moral law, grounded in divine Revelation and natural law, cannot be altered according to social pressures or contemporary sensibilities.

We are also deeply concerned by proposals that, in the name of pastoral care, separate ecclesial inclusion from moral accountability. Christian charity demands that every person be welcomed with dignity and pastoral concern; however, authentic pastoral accompaniment cannot disregard the moral realities identified by the Church, especially in cases involving public conduct objectively contrary to Catholic teaching. Mercy without truth ceases to be mercy.

In particular, longstanding Catholic doctrine has consistently taught that sexual relations outside the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman are gravely disordered. Particularly, the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered’ ” (§2357, Cf. Gen 191-29; Rom 124-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10). Pastoral approaches that appear to normalize or bless relationships contrary to this teaching risk causing grave confusion among the faithful and undermining the Church’s witness to both truth and charity.

Even more concerning is the fact that the final report of the Study Group n° 9 dares to treat in a positive manner the question of children being adopted and raised in such unions, which are founded upon depraved sexual acts. The dignity of children and the preservation of their innocence militate in the strongest possible manner against the slightest concession in this regard.

Furthermore, the report gives little indication of reflecting the convictions of the majority of practising Catholics worldwide, who continue to adhere to the perennial moral teaching of the Church. Rather, it clearly emerges from ecclesial circles that, for decades, have sought a substantial revision of Catholic teaching on sexuality and family life.

This conviction is reinforced by the evident selectivity of the testimonies included in the report, particularly insofar as the two principal testimonies are close friends of Fr. James Martin, whose pastoral and theological approach to questions of homosexuality openly contradict the Church’s traditional teaching and discipline. Such editorial choices strengthen the persuasion that the final report is not the fruit of broad ecclesial discernment, but of an ideologically predetermined process.

We further note that the themes and proposals advanced in the report bear striking resemblance to positions previously addressed to and rejected by the Magisterium, particularly through interventions of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith during the pontificate of John Paul II, under the prefecture of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.

Finally, we must express grave concern regarding the broader synodal process itself if “walking together” comes to signify accommodation to doctrinal ambiguity or capitulation to the ideological currents of the present age. Synodality can only bear fruit if it remains firmly anchored in fidelity to Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the perennial Magisterium of the Church.

For these reasons, we respectfully but urgently call for the withdrawal of the Study Group n° 9 report from the documentary corpus of Phase III. The faithful deserve clarity, continuity, and confidence that the deposit of faith entrusted to the Church will be preserved without compromise.

Respectfully,

Dr. Thomas Ward

"The judgment of your God is not akin to the judgment of man. The Eternal Father will only judge by the heart. Your rank, your accumulation of worldly goods does not set you up before another. Many have sold their souls within the holy House of God. Better that you strip yourself and remove all worldly interests now while you have the time to make amends to your God, for many mitres will fall into hell." - St. Thomas Aquinas, August 21, 1972
