Edit: but deaf to faithful Catholics. You guys need to get with the program.
(Vatican Radio) The first Synod of Bishops of Pope Francis' pontificate, which opens here in the Vatican on Sunday, will model a more open and vibrant discussion on family matters that reflects the practical realities of men and women around the world today. That’s the view of Cardinal Walter Kasper, who was asked by the Pope to open the discussion through a speech to the world’s cardinals at a consistory last February. Entitled ‘the Gospel of Life,’ that speech caused controversy by raising the possibility of changes to pastoral practice, including allowing some people in second marriages to be able to receive Holy Communion.
Cardinal Kasper, who formerly headed the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, compares the heated debate prior to the Synod with the atmosphere in the Church ahead of the Second Vatican Council. Just as there were sharply conflicting views ahead of the Council, the cardinal says he believes the two year Synod process will result in “a very large consensus” over changes in Church practices to support people facing difficulties in their family lives.
Philippa Hitchen sat down with Cardinal Kasper to talk to him about the Synod process and about the Pope’s desire to listen more closely to the views of ordinary Catholics in the pews….

Cardinal Kasper and his ilk and moving quickly into their own religion with its own doctrine (or lack thereof), liturgy and praxis. I don't know what it's called, but it sure ain't Catholic.
..."compares the heated debate prior to the Synod with the atmosphere in the Church ahead of the Second Vatican Council.". And we know how that turned out.
"Listen" to me, Your Eminence: please go away...and do the Church a big favor by never coming back.
While BENEDICT reign I really thought KASPER was dead.
Only liberal modernists are capable of fabricating such tosh. Is this intended to hold identical ecclesiastical authority as the Neo-Gesticular Magesterium of the current papacy?
I'll stick to the Solemn Magisterium, thank you very much.
