Which Aspect of Our Catholic Faith Is the Synodal Church Coming for Next? Radical Roundup — November 2025
Looking back at the articles and developments of the past month, what emerges is anything but encouraging.
As I write this, we have just entered the glorious season of Advent—a true reason for joy for Catholics.
At the same time, looking back at the articles and developments of the past month, what emerges is anything but encouraging. In fact, it borders on surreal. Radical Fidelity, in its small corner of the Catholic internet, has reported more shocking developments from Rome in a single month than one could reasonably imagine. If you could travel 150 years into the past and tell the faithful what would unfold in just one month of 2025, they would either call you crazy—or stone you.
The month began with Pope Bob strongly hinting at the modernist notion that no one goes to hell, during the “Commemoration of the Faithful Departed” (Novus Ordo). A belief, of course, shared by Francis. In his reflection, Prevost suggested that regardless of how people live or die, they will somehow be “raised up on the last day.” He spoke glowingly of God’s “concern that no one be lost forever,” yet never mentioned mortal sin, judgment, or hell. And so the campaign for a Catholicism without eternal punishment marches on.
The first major bombshell of November was the release of the Mater Populi Fidelis document—an odd attack on the Marian titles of Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces. In Prevost’s world, such titles may be permitted privately but are now effectively banned from Vatican officialdom. This is clearly another step in appeasing Protestants and the Orthodox. Speaking of which, another ecumenical shocker followed later in the month.
During his visit to Turkey, the Pope once again omitted the Filioque while reciting the Nicene Creed with Patriarch Bartholomew I. This is no minor gesture—it is a subtle denial of dogma. But according to Prevost, Christians should simply unite and get over outdated doctrinal differences, a thinly veiled reference to the Filioque. Nothing to see here, of course—just the Modernists’ Frankenstein Ecumenism Project.
All of this leaves me reluctantly wondering: Which part of our Faith will they attempt to dismantle next? As Bishop Sanborn rightly noted in a recent YouTube video, for the Pope to omit the Filioque during the Nicene Creed—and then imply it should simply be discarded by urging Christians to “leave behind theological controversies that have lost their purpose”—is tantamount to saying that transubstantiation is just another outdated theological dispute. Or Purgatory. Or praying to the Saints. Or the Rosary. You get the idea.
The downward spiral continued with the release of a “flaccid” document on marriage. Radical Fidelity covered it, but we missed the most diabolical element, buried deep in the conclusion. To make amends, here it is: According to paragraph 154, “authentic marriage” is reduced to an ambiguous “unity composed of two individuals, requiring a relationship so intimate and all-encompassing that it cannot be shared with others.” In other words, the doors are now opened to whatever perversion the Alphabet Crowd wishes to pass off as “marriage.”
There were also strong indications—via a Synod Secretariat publication—that women deacons, and therefore “female priests,” are drawing ever closer. Add to this “Cardinal” Zuppi openly praising the end of Christian civilization, and the newly appointed “Archbishop” of Kraków, “Cardinal” Grzegorz Ryś, waxing lyrical about how he “cannot imagine a Church other than the one Francis taught us… a Church that is missionary, merciful, open, and in dialogue,” and it becomes impossible not to conclude that things are growing bleaker by the day.
So, in just one month, we have watched the rabid synodal modernists sprint ahead with their program of replacing the Catholic Church of Christ with their Satanic synodal, man-made alternative.
Saddest of all? More than a billion Catholics remain fast asleep.
This brings me to my final point in this Radical Roundup. As always I want to reiterate that Radical Fidelity is a free publication—and I intend to keep it that way. That being said, your financial support is greatly appreciated, as this little apostolate is quickly becoming a full-time project. If you enjoy my work and want to contribute to the fight for true Catholicism, you can donate here:
You can also assist by sharing these articles far and wide—not only with fellow Traditional Catholics, but especially with our brothers and sisters who are asleep and, tragically, hell-bound.
Now let us recap the month that was:

I can almost imagine, without sarcasm or parody, Pope Bob putting a red hat on his horse. This isn’t decline at the Vatican you describe, it’s collapse.
Well we don’t have to wonder about just what kind of pope we have with Leo!
And I do expect, sooner rather than later, Catholic priests and Canons, FSSP and ICKSP will have to go.
So if you’re a faithful Catholic be sure to collect the contact info on other faithful Catholics because we will be attending THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS in someone’s home or a room in a business or perhaps in a field like the Irish with Henry VIII.
