From Pope Francis’ opening address at the 2014 SinNod.

>>One general and basic condition is this: speaking honestly. Let no one say: “I cannot say this, they will think this or this of me…”. It is necessary to say with parrhesia all that one feels. After the last Consistory (February 2014), in which the family was discussed, a Cardinal wrote to me, saying: what a shame that several Cardinals did not have the courage to say certain things out of respect for the Pope, perhaps believing that the Pope might think something else. This is not good, this is not synodality, because it is necessary to say all that, in the Lord, one feels the need to say: without polite deference, without hesitation. And, at the same time, one must listen with humility and welcome, with an open heart, what your brothers say. Synodality is exercised with these two approaches.<<

Francis encouraged the dissent!

Of course Francis encouraged the dissent and anyone that thinks otherwise has blinders on. JP2 and B16 put this garbage to rest many times. Now Francis, for some strange reason, thinks he can overrule what they said. Don’t work that way. He is very close to causing a schism within the church and will if any doctrine on marriage or homosexuality is ignored as a result of the hostile takeover by the leftists this coming October.
