During a Saturday address to representatives of the Roman Diocese, Francis de facto said that a two-year "synodal process" which leads to a 2023 synod is not about "gathering opinions" but about imposing them - in Francis' jargon: about “listening to what the Spirit wants for the Church” and about "being open to the God [= Francis] "of surprises.”
Stuck in his mantras, Francis called again for “preparing to be surprised and prepare for surprises.” Francis' conformist "surprises" are very predictable.
In order to give emphasis to his verbiage he banged several times on the table shouting that "it may be necessary to leave, to change direction, to overcome beliefs that hold back and prevent us from moving and walking together” - as if this had not been done for decades with the well-known results.
Francis admitted that his 40 minute speech was “very long” but went on with endless blunder phrases like “dynamism of mutual listening.”
An acclaimed promoter of perversions, Francis used a red herring by spotting "perversion" in what he called "clericalism" that detaches priests and bishops from "the people" - much like Francis who refuses to meet his cardinals and is accessible only a selected circle.
With rigid obsession he inevitably came back to his "rigidity" which he called "a sin against God's [= Francis'] patience" and "against this sovereignty of God [= Francis].” The last example of Francis rigidity and legalism is Traditionis Custodes.

I think he wants to toss Christianity aside and start over with his own religion. Something new. Something fresh. Something like ... Communism.
“Overcome Beliefs That Hold Back” - Francis Hammers on the Table”
Hold back what? Is the Canon Law the Law or not?
How embarrassing for so many Catholics and those who elected him.
mmmm,could it be satan?
“Overcome beliefs that hold back” - like the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Did he use his shoe to pound on the table, like Nikita Khrushchev?
Not something new and not something fresh: satanism.
Holds back what? The acceptance of sodomy and abortion? “Our Lady of Perpetual Perversion” is now in Rome and in session.

That’s exactly what he wants. He’s nuts.
Perhaps just evil
“Satan will rule in the Vatican. The pope will be his slave.” Thus read a banner at the freemasons’ 200th anniversary rally in Rome in 1917. Are we there yet? I think we might be.
Pretty slim ground for a comparison, bu I guess you must have thought it was clever ...
You apparently are not familiar with the dictator pope.
He’s left handed (in Latin, “sinistra”). Can’t trust those lefties.
