This is a nice summary of how conservative Catholics made sure that the leftists were stopped dead in their tracks in the past synod.

The left was not stopped ‘dead’ in their tracks. They’re not dead and so long as they breathe they’ll come back at you again. Don’t let down your guard!

Your comments?
Getting the tile fixed.

About the Left, someone famously said (but I can’t remember his name): “They never quit. It’s like mowin’ the lawn.”
Why is it that so many conservatives assume defensive positions?

In his remarks at the synod’s close, Pope Francis mocked “so-called traditionalists” for their “hostile rigidity.”
That is one way of putting it. Another is that traditionalists believe moral truth does not change, nor can Catholic doctrines be altered.
Even a pope cannot do that.
Should such be attempted, the pope would be speaking heresy. And as it is Catholic doctrine that the pope is infallible, that he cannot err when speaking ex cathedra on faith and morals, this would imply that Francis was not a valid pope and the chair of Peter is empty.
We would then be reading about schismatics and sedevacantists.
Comes naturally. We want to conserve what’s ours. The left wants to break it.

Not according to the Boss. We are to go forth and teach all the Nations and immerse them in the ruach.
See?
Right. Modern conservatism is not truly Christian; it dates back to Hume and Locke, not to the Crusaders. Which may become our comeuppance if we don’t grow up.
Bacon.
How so? Catholic traditionalism dates back to Pope Pius X's 1907 encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis. Political conservatism is secular.
Catholic traditionalism dates back as long as you want to trace it back, even, like Carrie does, to times before the Incarnation; I only chose the Crusades because that is a relevant point in modern politics. But “Catholic” and “modern” should never be in the same sentence, and I spoke of modern conservatism. The latter is heavily laced with laissez-faire, which makes it a defensive phenomenon.
Not true. New technology makes it possible to displace traditional operations of government with free-enterprise risk management architectures. It takes an active research, development, and education process to employ those tools to that libertarian end. To operate from laissez faire is effectively to withhold those options from the electorate.
