There is nothing anyone can do to change or harm the substance of the Holy Eucharist. Likewise, there is nothing the Synod on Synodality can do to change or harm the nature of the Church, which is Marian. The victory of Our Lady throughout her earthly life is a pattern shown to us for the like victory of the Church throughout history. The aims of the Synod run hopelessly against her.

He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him” (Prov 26:26-27).

He that removeth stones, shall be hurt by them: and he that cutteth trees, shall be wounded by them” (Eccl 10:8-9). How much worse for those who advocate immorality, overturn hierarchy, obscure tradition and cut down the Cross. “He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made. His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown” (Ps 7:16-17).
