I’m stopped at a diner in rural Illinois en route to Sr. Wilhelmina’s childhood city, St. Louis. I’m happy to report that the local diner Old Route 66 Family Restaurant in Dwight, IL has excellent signature hot sauce.
Pilgrimage to Sr. Wilhelmina has begun!

“From Another Spirit”
Meanwhile, the synod in Rome is continuing, “hand in hand,” …to wherever it is they are going.
Said Cardinal Besungu:
Synodality is a new way for the Church to walk together, hand in hand, towards the shore where the Lord awaits us.
I’m sorry, what?
Diane Montagna asked one of the most important questions: “How is this assembly discerning whether something comes from the Holy Spirit or from another spirit?”
That is really the question isn’t it?
As Cardinal Zen remarked “I see clearly a whole plan of manipulation.”
“I see clearly a whole plan of manipulation.”

The whole thing has the same model as modern Liberalism. From the American Revolution to the French, to their ugly daughters Communism and Feminism, it’s the same old thing: a bunch of elites figure out how they can whip up the mob using vague slogans, and they use it to generate a mass movement. After this gets going and has some momentum, the emotional appeal becomes an appeal to heaven, and the zeitgeist which is the product of social engineering becomes a divine oracle, which the demons exploit:
[At the American Revolution], Thomas Paine exuded with enthusiasm that the blood that had been spilled had “contributed more to enlighten the world and diffuse a spirit of freedom and liberality among mankind than any human event (if this may be called one) that ever preceded it.”[1]
This is their model for synodality: modern Liberalism. Modern “democracy.” This is how they manipulated St. John Paul II. And the cunning nature of the thing is that there is a true Greek ressourcement to be had (and this is why the Trad critique of Vatican II is often weak!), but the neo-Modernists use this to promote their own ends. And that’s why we need to be innocent as doves and cunning as serpents.
