Faithful Lay Catholics Demand Vatican Synod on Young People 2018 Be Cancelled
This Synod must not be allowed to take place.
The recent Pennsylvania grand jury report on sexual abuse in the Catholic Church marks just the tip of the iceberg.
The Synod leadership is to include close friends of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and even Cardinal Kevin Farrell, roommate of McCarrick’s for six years. This makes a mockery of the suffering of the clergy victims of this decades-old scandal.
Inviting young people from ages 16-29 to come to Rome to discuss vocations with bishops and cardinals who may have covered for predators or who may be predators themselves is offensive to the victims and a scandal to faithful Catholics.
The full extent of the clerical predation in the hierarchy will take years to uncover. Until it has, this Synod must be cancelled while the civil authorities and law enforcement fully investigate the breadth and depth of the clerical predation.
The 2018 Synod threatens moral and physical exploitation of the youth.
We the Catholic lay faithful demand that the Vatican stop the Synod on Young People 2018.
Sign the Petition to Stop the Synod.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
