"There should be no politics about this. The Church is not a Democracy... The POPE is supposed to tell all of us what GOD commands.
That's true in one sense, but not true --- or at least no quite adequate --- in another.
Yes, the Pope is supposed to tell us what God commands. That's in the job description for sure.
But he is not an autocrat nor the only shepherd. His authority is at every point superseded by that of Christ,the supreme Authority; and also he is surrounded by that vast crowd of shepherds who came before him, and those shepherds all around him who are called the bishops.
He is, as Christ said, to be feeding and caring for them, and also confirming them: (Luke 22:32) "Confirm (or 'strengthen') the brethren." They too have a shepherdship, and not merely derivative from his: they have their own proper succession from the Apostles as well. The Pope is not to deal with them high-handedly as if they were dependents or franchisees.
This synod has certainly been a sausage-factor-tour for us all --- not always a pretty sight --- but the Holy Spirit will find a way to settle their hash. It may take the intervention of somebody quite outside the box, another St. Catherine of Siena.
As has happened not infrequently in the Church's Providence-rescued past.
Oremus.
That video is great. Thanks.
