Dear Baioni, Do not get annoyed at those Bishops and Cardinals of solid faith who agreed to vote on certain issues. In a Church that for a long time now has in truth very little sense of what it means to be Catholic, it is hard to make a Bishop and a Cardinal be obedient to God instead of to the dictator on duty.

The money quote from the article:
....more than half of the bishops present at the Synod, not yet the two-thirds needed but almost, have already switched (what we know as our) religion. Perhaps it still has something vaguely Christian, but it is far away from being Catholic. We find ourselves confronting a Synod in which the majority of Cardinals and Bishops threw at least three Sacraments overboard: Matrimony, Confession, and the Eucharist. Church history teaches us that schisms have been consumed by much less. The dramatic point is in the fact that there are Bishops and Cardinals who are in substance schismatics in playing out their roles, with no sense of contradiction, in response to the pressure exerted by Bergoglio towards “the new”.
