Edit: here is the report from CFN:
[Catholic Family News] And after a second round of global consultation, here it is – at Roman Noon, the instrumentum laboris(baseline text) for October's climactic Synod on the Family was released... for now, however – much like last year's first volume – the full sequel is only available in Italian.
Stacking out at 147 paragraphs – some 20,000 words – the text is arranged around three pillars: the challenges families face, the "discernment of the family's vocation," and "the mission of the family today," each of them slated to take up a week of the discussions at the 4-25 October assembly.
Among other highlights, the final portion of the framework deals with the proposed changes of practice cited by their supporters as necessary for the church to better respond to families in challenging situations amid current pastoral practice.

Kasper is a manifest heretic and a de facto schismatic - in normal times he would have been excommuincated by now.
ReplyDeleteIt took years to get rid of Tyrell.
DeleteHe's already excommunicated himself, but sadly it takes longer to formally declare his status of being excommunicated.
DeleteHow can this happen since he is supported by Pope Francis?
DeleteWell, if we had a strong traditional Holy Father running the show, I'm not convinced that any of this would even be going on.
ReplyDeleteThey tolerated people like Gibbons, Tallyrand and John Ireland, so I don't see why you would think that.
DeleteThe crux of the problem began with the worldwide rejection of HumanaeVitae
DeleteThe problem began when the world rejected the Cross.
DeleteRejected not only the the cross but also the Summa.
DeleteCf.:
"The difficulties between Church and State in Italy had culminated seven years before in the nomination of Crispi, a man wholly hostile to the Church [and a friend of Garibaldi, another Freemason], as Prime Minister. On the eve of the elections in 1890 his friend Semmi, like himself a Freemason and Grand Master of the Italian lodges, had spoken strongly on the necessity of destroying the Great Enemy [i.e., the Catholic Church]. "We have applied the knife to the centre of superstition," he wrote in a wonderful combination of mixed metaphors, "and the very presence of ***** at the head of Government is a guarantee that the Vatican will fall beneath the blows of our vivifying hammer. Let us work with all our strength to scatter its stones, that we may build with them a temple to an emancipated nation. The enemy is the Pope; we must wage a relentless war against him. The Papacy, although but a phantom presiding over ruins, yet reflects a certain glory, waving as it does in face of, and in defiance of the world, the Cross and the Summa Theologica. A miserable crowd still prostrates itself to adore. It must be war to the knife."
