Catholics do not need a bunch of high level priests to put together carefully worded summaries of what is taking place at the synod. All we need, and what we Catholics want, is the release of every address and discussion taking place at the synod, and the identities of who said what. Anything less than that full disclosure will simply mean that Pope Francis is controlling 100% of what we Catholics are being fed. Do I trust Pope Francis? The answer is NO. It has taken a few months but now he is showing his true colors, and those colors are not pretty, nor in the interest of traditional Catholics.
Sounds like Francis is o the move again....he does have a way of shaking things out.
The results of this synod are going to look similar, I think.
Is that like "compassionate conservatism?"
I’ve obviously missed an important piece of the Synod thread. Will someone be kind enough to advise me as to just what the “revised relate” is? It clearly is an important term in this Synod, but it’s not one I’ve heard before.
After this action I’m now beginning to question the pope’s competency. Any competent leader who sets up an obviously political committee to reach a clearly intended conclusion, would have the good sense to know who he should put on the committee and who he should leave off, long before he sets it up.
In this case it appears that the pope is now recognizing (a week into the deliberations) that he doesn’t have the votes. Astounding! It seems that he now sees no alternative but to stack the deck while everyone is watching. How embarrassing. I presume he’s simply saying that it really doesn’t make any difference as to what people think. He has his modernist bishops in his pocket and the secular press in his corner. What more does he need?
Perhaps one day he just might find out.
