...what is wrong is stating that these facts must be so because they are in disobedience to Church teaching. You cannot know that.

I never said anyone was disobedient. It appears you are the one who thinks she can read minds.

Just the facts, Mam. Just the facts.

You certainly implied it and that is what I inferred from your post. I do have severe reservations about the direction the synod seems to be taking. The disobedience and rancor from of the Bishops is troubling but alas not new. I hate, hate having this feeling of distrust towards Pope Francis and I continue to put my faith in Christ and the Holy Spirit to see the Church through which will certainly be a dark time.
