If I may be so bold -

“I do not know what to counsel”

First and foremost, keep your faith in Jesus Christ, and his saving grace, and pray that God sees you through your trials.

Right now this report is just a trial balloon from the Synod, albeit a distressing one. If Francis, at the end of the process, presumes to declare a new teaching ex cathedra that is unequivocally contrary to faith and morals, he will have formally and publicly apostasized, and all Catholics will not only be released from obedience to him, but will also be required to oppose him and any bishop or priest who accepts his false teaching or commands the faithful to obey it.

While this event would no doubt be devastating, it would also be a salutary corrective to exaggerated notions of papal impeccability that are no less pernicious than modernist notions of the papacy as a mere office of honour without real authority.
