A synod is supposed to be a discussion about how faithful priests and bishops have been teaching and sanctifying, the effects of lousy catechesis, how to stop priests and bishops from doing a stinky job.
Some of the reports I've read reveal bishops who think the discuss is a democratic process that changes Church teaching.
Church Militant reported one bishop suggested the remedy to get people back to Church was forgetting the Sacrament of Confession and coming up with a general absolution.
Why not just give out Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to 'absolve sins'?
Archbishop Paul-Andre Durocher of Gatineau, Quebec is a genuine imbecele. One of his suggestions was 'female deacons'.
Some invalid matter ought to liven things up.
His three-minute screed was dedicated to letting women take over all the roles in the Church. Everything but the golf tournaments, LOL.
And this guy was evidently head of the Canadian Conference of Bishops. God help the Canadians.
When things got too crazy, Pope Francis had to intervene on the interventions:
Pope Francis has told bishops taking part in a Church review of family teachings that its stance on the indissolubility of marriage was not up for discussion, despite hopes of an opening towards remarried divorced people
The pontiff, who was not expected to address the global synod on the family on Tuesday, spoke out after concerns among conservatives over a bid by liberals to allow remarried divorced people to take communion.
Very encouraging!
He's getting a real education on breathtaking stupidity of bishops.
Maybe now he finally understands what we're talking about.
So far, so good!

That was a fun read!
"indissolubility of marriage was not up for discussion"
of course not, its double speak, doctrine doesnt change but discipline does. francis has been saying this double speak since last year, all opponets to his mercy are pharisees. francis may well succeed in ending a 2,000 year old religion and replacing it with a continental version of the anglican communion (unlike the anglicans, in this new religion asians ((cardinal tong)) and blacks ((per franci's favorite theologian, the cardinal "should not tell us what to do" kasper)) need not apply). it will be very nice, just like the affirming-catholicism of anglicanism, only with a southern european clown and salsa mass flavor, only no coloreds.
get ready for the very very very possible chance of disappointment. synod is probably irrelevant, francis may very well just go above everyone's head, including muller just like couple weeks ago, and release a motu proprio like the annulments. and the papacy will fall into formal heresy for the first time in history. what does that mean for catholicism?
How did they keep churches full pre-Vatican II?
A. Tell them they no longer need to go to church on Sunday
B. Tell them they only need to fullfill some Easter obligation.
C. Tell them "We are Church"
E. Tell them it is a Motal sin to miss Sunday Mass and they will burn in hell.
F. Balloons
G. Musical bands on the "stage" with liturgical dancing dandies.
(Correct Answer is: "E" )
Gosh, we left out the new rite for baptizing children of homosexuals who are the product of in vitro fertilization. Maybe the new rite of Baptism will include mom who lent her uterus? Hey, and maybe lesbian nuns now have a shot at matrimony? Jesus Mary and Joseph. God help us. Please.

Let us pray that Pope Francis holds the line doing nothing heretical. I am reading what he has done so far at the Synod in a positive light.
St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle!
"general absolution" was touted and promoted in the UK some years ago!
The "Priesthood of the Laity" de facto includes the feminine of the species?
The Quebec AB wants married couples to give sermons during Mass.
Can you imagine the politicians and business people lining up to talk!
Can you imagine the clapping!
I will WALK OUT until the sermon is over!
It is all about the powerful and elite.... they want divorces, power, and speaking podiums - and they want me to clap for them.
I will clap for a virgin nun dressed in black holding Rosary beads any day!
Happy Lady of The Rosary Feast Day!
Remember the beautiful Donna Morrissay spokesperson for Cardinal law?
I just stumbled upon this video about hunkering down for a blaizzard and there she was!
Working for the Red Cross I guess.
Anyway..... looks like she is ready to comfortably survive Obamacare, the Synod, or whatever comes.

Of course I remember Donna and she is beautiful!
Thank God she transitioned her life well and looks so happy and healthy.
