On the opening day of the Synod on Synodality, a leading official of the process urged participants to read “the signs of the times” in order to “discover a grammar of synodality for our time.”
“Just like the grammar of our languages changes as they develop, so does the grammar of synodality: It changes with time,” said Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, the relator general of the 16th Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, in prepared remarks at the start of the afternoon session.

None of them seem to have any fear of judgement. Their "god" is all about mercy, not justice.
The Vatican II theologian Yves Congar gave these three tests about whether something comes from the Holy Spirit: “First, does what is thought to be a gift of the Holy Spirit build up discipleship in the community? Second, can the community understand this gift as Spirit-given? Third, does the recipient accept it as an expression of supernatural love, not as a personal privilege?” It’s also been said that the Holy Spirit does not contradict His previous revelation.
Not only does not but CAN NOT. God is eternal Truth, which does not change.
