My mouth is agape. I cannot believe that there are going to be so many more rounds of “assemblies” and “reports” and “letters,” along with yet another final document.
This is literally just the synod on synodality II. Will the “process” never end? Have I died and ended up in purgatory??
Do we really need to put this much more time and energy into synodality? Each diocese needs to create a "'narrative report,' describing 'what concrete form of a missionary synodal Church and what new paths of synodality' are emerging in the local community," really? What about living out the Gospel and the spiritual and corporal works of mercy? Why do we need to keep reinventing the wheel?
First, Pope Leo did not say that synodality “helps us be the Church,” he said it “helps us be Church.” I checked the Italian myself. And what a world of difference that article (or lack thereof) makes!

Come on you know we need these meetings for a meeting about the meetings concerning meetings.

Also, one small nit and one small thanks.

Second, thank you for the round table motif.
Nooooooo! Burn the round tables!
If we just...get...the microscope...closer to our navel...
