What the Heart is Full Of: Analysis of Word Frequency in New Synodal Document Reveals the Truth

They want to know how their little satanic demolition project is coming along.

On Monday, July 27, the General Secretariat of the Synod published Remembering: Accompanying the Preparation of the Evaluation Assembly of the Local Church, a document that is supposed to guide bishops and synodal teams as they prepare for the 2027 “diocesan evaluation assemblies”.

The authors of the document made it clear that they did not require an administrative review but wanted local Churches to “discern” whether the synodal journey has genuinely transformed its life and mission. In other words, they want to know how their little satanic demolition project is coming along.

The document is therefore built around six key questions that examine the “fruits” of synodality and the ways in which the Church is being renewed.

The six questions ask whether a more missionary and synodal Church is emerging; how relationships within the Church have changed; whether the community’s processes of discernment and decision-making have improved; whether the Church’s relationships with the wider world have expanded; whether co-responsibility and participation among all the People of God have increased; and whether the Church has become more capable of proclaiming the Gospel.

I am not even going to bother discussing the 19 pages, as it is the usual anti-Catholic synodal garbage that would leave Catholics from the preconciliar era baffled. For those who want to bore themselves to tears, they can read it here.

But for those who keep insisting that the Synodal Church is the Catholic Church and the Synodal Religion is Catholic, and not a new church or religion, Radical Fidelity did a little exercise that was interesting, to say the least.

Before looking at the results of this exercise, keep in mind that this document pertains to an extremely important phase in the Synodal Church’s existence and the direction the synodal modernists want to take it.

Although word occurrence does not determine orthodoxy, the dominant occurrences are very telling indeed. It once again demonstrates that there is not an ounce of Catholicity in this new religion and that it is exactly that: a new religion alien to Catholicism.

The vocabulary the document repeatedly employs, and its frequency, illustrates the theological priorities that drive the text, and one can’t help but be reminded of Scripture, which tells us in Matthew 12 that “the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” If that is true—and considering Christ said it, we know it is—then it is clear that the architects of synodality do not have the Catholic faith in their hearts. Or Our Lord and Our Lady, for that matter.

Unsurprisingly, the dominant themes are once again not doctrine, revelation, or the Person of Christ, but the usual ambiguous nonsense of “journey,” “experience,” “listening,” and “discernment.”

The most frequently recurring motif or theme is that of the “journey.” The word appears 57 times over the span of the 19 pages, presenting the Synodal Church as a community continually moving along a synodal path.

Coming in at the number two spot is the language of experience, with the words experience, experiences, and experienced occurring a whopping 43 times in fewer than 20 pages.

Next up is the vocabulary of listening. The words listen and listening appear 31 times, whereas the words hear and hearing do not appear at all. This is complemented by 21 occurrences of variations of the discern word family, 10 occurrences of conversation (almost always in the expression “conversation in the Spirit”), and 30 references to the Spirit or spiritual discernment.

On this subject, someone has yet to show me where “conversations in the Spirit” appear in Scripture or Catholic literature prior to 1962.

This little piece of synodal toilet paper also monotonously harps on about ways (27 occurrences), paths (14 occurrences), and accompaniment (12 occurrences), just so you will know that the Synodal Church is on its journey away from Catholicism and on its way towards damnation.

The “it’s-not-a-new-religion” crowd should also once again pay attention. The word new appears 11 times, while related terms such as renew, renewal, and renewed occur a further 18 times. The repeated references to “new paths,” “new forms,” and “new beginnings” ensure that the reader knows he or she is not dealing with that boring old Catholicism of Jesus Christ and the Saints, but a “hip new thing.”

Speaking of Our Lord, across its 19 pages the name Jesus appears only once, and the title Christ does not appear at all. The phrase “Jesus Christ” is entirely absent. Let that sink in. They want to convince you that they are still the Catholic Church, but can hardly confess the name of its Founder, the Son of God. St. John warns us in his first epistle that those who deny Christ are not of God but are antichrist.

If that hasn’t convinced you yet, let us take a look at how many times the words Catholic, Catholic Church, or Catholicism appear in this 19-page document of the Church that claims it is the Catholic Church:

Zero times. Zilch. Nada.

And Our Lady?

Not a single reference to the Blessed Virgin Mary under any of her traditional titles. The words Mary, Virgin, Blessed Virgin, Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Our Lady, Theotokos, Marian, and Immaculate all occur exactly zero times.

As I have pointed out already, word frequency does not necessarily indicate orthodoxy—until you remember who you are dealing with. Taken in the context of everything else we already know about the synodal enemies of Christ and the Catholic Church, this is once again clear proof that we are not dealing with Catholicism.

Our Lady, Co-redemptrix, pray for us…

Our Lady, Mediatrix of all Graces, pray for us…

Viva Christo Rey!
