    “Everything must change for everything to remain the same” is a quotation from the Gattopardo novel by Tomasi di Lampedusa which perfectly expresses the Italian mentality… Nothing will change in the Church’s doctrine which is out of scope for this synod and very little (to nothing) will change in Church’s administration and organization. Don’t trust clickbait articles and proclaims.

      I don’t think this is click bait, it’s AP. They’re very coldly laying out the schedule for the synod and quoting those involved. I see no opinion in any part of this article.

      I do agree with you though. This is all public theatre to give the appearance of change and progress. Nothing will materially change in how the Catholic church operates.

    It’s nice to see LGBTQ+ people getting accepted by the church. But what are they gonna do about pedophile priests, exactly?

        Yeah, when you move them around enough times, they’ll learn their lesson and stop raping kids. They have to, right?

      Well…

      In January 2018, referring to a particular case in Chile, Pope Francis accused victims of fabricating allegations

      He later mentioned that was a mistake and tried to make things more transparent but ultimately failed to do so. To be honest, catholicism gets away with this shit but we as a society haven’t done enough to prevent or even punish it.

    Are they committing Holy Suicide? Cause that’s the only beneficial thing the Vatican could do.

    When are people going to stop giving power to this decreipt, spineless institution? And all the other organised religions as well.
