Pope's Classmate Labels Vatican Synodality Document 'The Great Deception'

Professor William Thomas, a classmate of Pope Leo XIV, has publicly condemned a newly released Vatican implementation document outlining the Synod's roadmap through 2028, alleging it promotes a pro-LGBT, modernist agenda that undermines Catholic doctrine and the Church's evangelistic mission. This internal fracturing of the world's largest Christian institution reflects the biblical warning of widespread apostasy and doctrinal corruption within the visible church in the last days. Scripture specifically cautions that a time will come when people will not endure sound teaching but will turn away from truth — a pattern now visibly accelerating within institutional Christianity (2 Timothy 4:3–4; 2 Thessalonians 2:3).
