So. Let me get this straight.
The “pope” of the so-called “Catholic” Church has just appointed 24 new members to the International Theological Commission, who were proposed by the biggest heretic in his spiritual terrorist organization, Cardinal Victor “Porn” Fernández, to clarify “what Tradition with a capital T is, where it is found,” and how its contents are determined?

This is the same “Catholic” Church that is about to double down on its mockery of God Almighty by participating in yet another Assisi witches’ brew of false religions, whose bishops send out directives forbidding priests from saying the St Michael’s Prayer after Mass, and which has just cancelled another mildly conservative cleric because he is slightly too Catholic.
I have to ask: What could possibly go wrong?
Letting Prevost and Fernández choose the “theologians” who are going to decide what Sacred Tradition is and how it is transmitted is like hiring Jeffrey Epstein to babysit or getting Jeffrey Dahmer to do the catering at your next Meaty Monday.
So let’s take a look at a few of these fine specimens of Catholic orthodoxy whom Pope Peru and Cardinal Pimp thought deserved to decide on such weighty matters.
First, there is Brazilian priest Tiago de Fraga Gomes, whose theological work draws extensively upon Claude Geffré’s religious pluralism.
The dear reader may be interested to note that Geffré’s work concerned itself with questioning the uniqueness of Christ, the definitive character of revelation, the authority of Catholic dogma, and the relationship between Catholicism and other religions.
Not surprising, then, that his disciple, Gomes, stated in an article co-written in 2026 with Vanessa Mirapalheta Oliveira that “no historical religion is absolute” and that the uniqueness of Jesus “cannot be absolutized to the point of excluding other religions.” The article also described revelation in Christ as possessing qualitative, but not quantitative, fullness.
Elsewhere in his writings, he advocated overcoming “doctrinal integralism” in pursuit of a planetary ecumenism. Sounds like he was watching Star Wars when he was supposed to study his Baltimore Catechism.
Then there is French Jesuit Michel Fédou, who was also a recipient of the 2022 Ratzinger Prize and belongs to the ecumenical Groupe des Dombes.
In 2023, the Groupe des Dombes published a document claiming that Catholics and Protestant communities form “one Church, albeit in imperfect communion.” Fédou presented the document and reviewed it favorably.
Fédou is also a big fan of Jacques Dupuis’s theology of religions, who also questions the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, the completeness of divine revelation, and the necessity of the Church for salvation.
Boy, oh boy, things are really looking rosy for the future of “trads” in the Synodal Church. But, just zip-it, unite the clans (except Sedevacantists, hey Dr Kwas?) and all will be hunky dory!
Our third theologian of ill repute is Chilean theologian Claudia Leal Luna.
In March 2021, following the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s rejection of blessings for same-sex unions, she criticized the document’s anthropology as “somewhat taxidermic” and said that traditional Christian sexual morality “still needs to take some steps.”
And if that is not a big enough you-can’t-make-this-crap-up moment for you, did I mention that she “teaches” at the reconstituted Pontifical John Paul II Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences?
And just like that, I suspect the They/Them will enter, while immutable moral principles leave through the back door.
Another fine fellow on this commission is German theologian Jan-Heiner Tück.
While old Tück has defended the male priesthood, criticized Germany’s Synodal Way, and questioned restrictions on the traditional Roman liturgy, he has also defended the controversial footnote 351 of Amoris Laetitia (which allows those in “irregular relationships” to receive the Eucharist) and criticized the cardinals who submitted the dubia. In 2023, he campaigned for the ordination of married men.
Other fun things the Tückster came up with were recorded in a 2020 interview. He suggested that recognition of the Creed was sufficient for Catholics struggling with particular doctrines and described Marian dogmas as “peripheral.”
Another red flag, at least if you are not a flaming crypto-Satan worshipper, is Argentine Dominican Jorge Alejandro Scampini.
Scampini has served on the World Council of Churches’ Faith and Order Commission and described the heretical Catholic-Lutheran Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification as possessing the value of an “authentic interpretation” of the Council of Trent.
I strongly suspect he has no idea what the Council of Trent, which was called to address Protestantism, actually taught. Maybe he thinks it is an expensive perfume.
Other appointees are only slightly less concerning.
Clarence Devadass helped draft the 2024 Synod’s final document, which left discussion of women’s admission to the diaconate open, while Fabricio Leonel Forcat, associated with Argentina’s theology of the people, has on previous occasions called for discernment rather than the “mechanical application of principles and norms.”
Teresa Hyeon Soon Choi has written extensively on synodality, mercy, and women’s participation in ecclesiastical formation, while Paul Béré, SJ, participated in preparing the 2024 Synod’s working documents.
Sister Shu Chin Hu has employed Karl Rahner’s controversial concept of the “anonymous Christian,” while Maria Teresa Fattori has intellectual connections with the Bologna school’s interpretation of Vatican II.
Again. What could possibly go wrong?
Not a Catholic in sight. But then again, it is appropriate, and we shouldn’t be too worried. After all, it is a theological commission of the Synodal Abomination, stocked with heretics for a church based on heresy and run by heretics.
Luckily, it has nothing to do with the Roman Catholic Church, of which I am a proud member.
The only thing we need to be worried about, and for which we must pray, is the fate of the poor souls being led to damnation by this “church.”
