I'm going to stick my neck out here and say it was set up that way so that the dissenters can have the fullest possible "say," and emboldened by their perceived power, thus reveal the depth of their apostasy and be well and truly refuted.

Why were Arians invited to Nicaea?

Well, at that time, St. Nicholas was also invited to Nicea. And we all know what he did to Arius.

Yet this time, a great defender of the Catholic Faith, Cardinal Burke, has not been re-invited.

Long rope, short branch just won’t cut it.

Either that or you're whistling past the graveyard.

But weren't they all already fully exposed to Pope Francis at the first SinNod? Since then, have any heads rolled besides Burke's?

Is not the heretic, Cardinal Balderserri, again leading the follow-up Sin-Nod of Sodomy?

I think there may something to that line of thought.

By that logic, Pope Francis has concomitantly revealed "the depth of his apostasy".

Pope Francis expresses support for Cardinal Kasper's 'serene theology' on the family
