This is great news. It means that the Holy Father is not going to let the synod get out of control as John XXIII and Paul VI did at Vatican II. He intends to preside in substance as well as in form. He is a shepherd that knows where he wants to lead the flock.

One synod participant told NCR that he suspects the pope intervened because the difference between the sacrificial and communal dimensions of the Eucharist was shaping up as a potential point of debate, and the pope wanted to steer the conversation away from what he sees as a false opposition.

But Amy was quoting John Allen quoting an unnamed synod participant...so who knows?
