Catholic Ping!
You just can’t win...this synod was a USUAL discussion ON CURRENT ISSUES THAT CATHOLICS FACE...cultural and otherwise.
Basic church doctrine will not change...
So for the Catholic Bashers its MSM field day: (Take your pick)
1) Discussion of current issues—, homosexuality, birth control, divorce= OH, THE CHURCH IS CHANGING, THIS POPE IS NOT A REAL CATHOLIC!
2) No open discussion-—THE CHURCH IS A PATRIARCHIAL ELITE CLOSED SYSTEM INATTENTIVE TO THE QUESTIONS OF ITS FLOCKS
