The Catholic Church’s final session of the multiyear Synod on Synodality is coming to a close this weekend.
For those concerned about making sure the Synod on Synodality doesn’t open the way to contested changes in Church teaching and practice, the draft version of its final document appears to be good enough.
But it might not stay that way: 1,000 amendments to the text are currently being incorporated into the final document by a small writing team overseen by a commission of synod members.

From yesterday's article by CNA (Analysis: What will the final document of the Synod on Synodality be like?:
After reviewing it the synod delegates can propose amendments, which the assembly will discuss and vote on this Saturday.
Two-thirds of the assembly must approve a paragraph for it to be retained. In the past, if a paragraph did not reach even two-thirds, it would not be published. It was said that it did not represent synodal communion. Pope Francis has instead wanted each paragraph of the final document to be published and that votes for or against be indicated together with the paragraph.
Bergoglio had rigged this evil "Sin-Nod" from the very beginning, four years ago.

What the Catholic Church as a congregation, its leaders and lay leaders need to do is FOLLOW GOD’S COMMANDMENTS AND LIVE BY GOD’S STATUTES. Period.
It will be what Francis wants it say.
