Does anyone else get a sick feeling in their stomach every time they read/hear the word "synodal"?

I honestly don't know what it means at this point. There has to be another word or phrase that sums it up better than "walking together" and doesn't implicitly mean that it is a process without a goal, ending, or guideposts to keep it from veering off into heterodoxy. If there isn't one, maybe that would explain the unease I've felt about the entire "synodal" process since it started. I have faith in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but I've never seen a good defense that this is being guided by God instead of by ideologues who wish to move the Church into conformity with secular morals.

So the document is as bad as many thought it would be. Swell. It's disheartening to see that so many people in the world are so ashamed of the faith as its been handed down that they feel such a need to make word-salads to feel justified in dismissing the faith....instead of just owning up that they do not believe the Catholic faith anymore (if they ever did in the first place).
