Often, I guess as a form of consolation and to inspire myself, I like to meditate on previous crises in the Church. I try to put myself in the shoes of men like St. Athanasius during the Arian crisis, or those of the heroes of the Vendée resistance, and imagine what they felt, what they thought, and what their inner responses were.
I suppose we no longer have to wonder what it feels like to be alive in a time of crisis in the Church. Currently the true Church has just about been driven underground, a sophisticated campaign of persecution against Catholics from both inside and outside its structures is in full swing, and the lunatic enemies of Christ have taken over everywhere.

In early April, “Bishop” Johan Bonny of Antwerp announced his intention to ordain married men to the priesthood in his diocese by 2028. Although this is bad enough in itself, it is not surprising coming from a synodal heretic. What I would rather advise my readers is to take note of what he said in a subsequent interview published over Easter weekend on the Marxist, anti-Catholic news platform Religion Digital. This gives us not only another glimpse into the Synodal Pandora’s box and what is coming out of it, but also a good insight into the dark minds of the men now claiming to be the Catholic hierarchy.
I will bet my last dollar that Bonny’s reasoning, as revealed in the interview, is going to become the standard argument for whatever abomination the Synodalists want to commit and create in the name of Catholicism. As we delve into some of his answers, I want you to note how, just as in the myth of Pandora’s box, once opened it could not be closed again, the revolution that has been set in motion over the past few centuries—especially since 1962—can no longer be contained by the very men who are its greatest proponents.
