“In a 2022 address, he described the synodal transformation of the Church as “an irreversible process, with different speeds, full of nuances and in need of clarification, but with no turning back.”

He added: “We should not be frightened by the different speeds, nor should we be anxious to achieve immediate results; the important thing is to assume a new, more coherent way of being Church, advancing serenely along this path of renewal and hope. If possible, with enthusiasm.””

What an absolutely bizarre thing to say.

What I never understand or like is when they use the wording, "being a church" but I think they mean it's about walking together as a community of priests, prophets, and king".

"Being Church", Laura, not "being a church"!

"(period). If possible, with enthusiasm" is genuinely if unintentionally hilarious tho

Has a great background for collaboration and understands the Second Vatican Council through the eyes of the man who called the council. I have a feeling we will see the Dicastery for Charity enter a different stage and I don't believe it is the end of the road for this son of St. Augustino. I hope a red hat is imposed on his head and continues to collaborate closely with his brother.
