The event, commonly known as the Synod on Synodality, has been described as the most important Church event since the Second Vatican Council in 1962-65.
VATICAN CITY — A Jesuit cardinal who will play a central role in the 2023 Synod on Synodality has said that reforms in the Catholic Church require “a stable foundation.”
In a wide-ranging interview in the February edition of the German magazine Herder Korrespondenz, Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich was asked whether he could envisage the introduction of women deacons.
He said: “I would have nothing against it. But reforms need a stable foundation. If the pope were now simply to allow viri probati [the priestly ordination of mature, married men] and deaconesses, the danger of schism would be great.”
“After all, it’s not just about the German situation, where perhaps only a small part would break away. In Africa or in countries like France, many bishops would possibly not go along with it.”
Last July, Pope Francis named Cardinal Hollerich, the archbishop of Luxembourg, as the relator general of the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in Rome.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Agree. God bless.
Its not even an ecumenical council, ergo it does not have the infallible character of the Church.
But that wont stop them from attempting to say it has authority.
I see Bergoglio’s war on the TLM as part of a grand strategy to put conservatives on the defensive in the run up to this Synod at which Bergoglio plans revolutionary changes.
