‘A Heart On Fire for Demons’: Official Synod Publication Promotes Praying for Reptiles and Devils


We all knew the Synod on Synodality would be demonic. What we didn’t know was that they were going to advertise it so openly.


Not only is the infernal assembly taking place in the hellish Paul VI audience hall, which resembles the head of a snake, has no Catholic artwork in it, and presents a ghastly-looking demon as the ‘Resurrected Christ’.

On page 31 (numbered page 29), the following text appears:
