From a distance - in Australia
I'll be watching the outcome of the San Diego synod with interest. We, in Australia, have been promised a national/plenary synod for 2020. BY then l will be WOBE (1) and TBO (2).
It is the first such synod here since 1936, the year of my birth.
I hope our leaders can learn from Robert McElroy's approach
Incidentally, about a year ago, I added McElroy's name to my short list of papal candidates. Contributors, ATF,  2015 Catholic and Mokantx seem to agree. Greetings all.
(1) well over bloody eighty.  (2)  too bloody old.
