Cardinal Raymond Burke, who serves on the highest court at the Vatican and is the former Archbishop of St. Louis, Mo., denounced the Amazonian synod occuring at the Vatican this week, describing its working document as a “direct attack on the Lordship of Christ.” He added that the synod, along with a pending synod in Germany, is undermining the “catholicity of the Catholic Church.”
In a September interview with Sohrab Ahmari and published in First Things magazine, Cardinal Burke explained what a synod is supposed to be and how church leaders today are perverting the process to advance heterodox and heretical ideas. “The fundamental concept of a synod was to call together representatives of the clergy and the lay people to see how the Church could more effectively teach and more effectively apply her discipline,” said Burke.  “Synods never had anything to do with changing doctrine or with changing discipline.”
