I don’t read Lifesite news, so I can’t judge what Bill is saying. Cypress got one number right, 40 participants, and another wrong, there were 14 bishops, not 3; he did present this info as gleaned from what he looked at, which is not that far from “guessing.”
I think the primary message of this conference was that bishops and theologians can talk to each other and learn from each other. Compare that to HV, or even the Filial Correction, where there wasn’t much interest from bishops in talking with theologians, pro or con. The correcting theologians just told the Pope what was wrong with what he said, leaving little room for any dialogue.
