Other topics of the synod include creating a new "Amazonian Rite" in the Catholic Church that would allow women to be ordained to the deaconate, married men to be ordained to the priesthood, and "crimes against the environment" to be officially recognized as sins equal to those mentioned in Scripture.

These are actually good ideas imo.

Well, since the priest is the vicar of Christ -- literally standing in for him offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and while hearing confessions -- a female priest would turn these Sacraments into another twisted shemale Baphomet atrocity. So it's really not a good idea. The priest being in persona Christi is why priests take a vow of celibacy, as well.

One of the interesting things about this awful synod has been the fact that Jesus was only mentioned five times in the hundreds of pages of "working documents" the participants are using for their discussions. Several faithful bishops have called this out. It's as if the Vatican is deliberately trying to make it harder and harder for people to see Jesus, the exact opposite of the Mission of the Church.

Don't worry though, the most magnificent creature made by God and the one who terrifies demons most is a woman. :-) :-)

Yes, it is sad that people do not see that Jesus gave His own mother

an important role in our salvation.

She is the New Eve, and Queen Mother who Our Lord honors.

In Luke She proclaims “ All generations will call me Blessed.”

Personal accountability is not appreciated by the Holy Roman Catholic Church. It stops the gravy train and power trip that they hold so dear.
