Last episode, we discussed game theory but never got to the point of it. Now, we discuss that the Vatican had hired McKinsey & Co to “modernize communications”. McKinsey uses game theory to help their clients find the best path to navigate a market and uses consensus management to help companies move from point A to point B through competition and diverse market forces, especially to overcome reasonable criticism. Well, that’s what we see happening in the Synod. We discuss the USCCB Synod Synthesis and see that we really are being gamed!

I’m not being gamed. The Catholic Church is in eclipse. We’ve had no Pope since 1958.

Roncalli was a freemason and didn’t accept Dogma of Assumption. . A Catholic cannot remain Catholic submitting to a heretic
