The Synod was telling in a very important way.  Pope Francis told the attendees to speak and discuss freely even if they disagreed with him.  He stepped back and deferred to the work of the Holy Spirit.  This was an act of humility and faith on the Pope's part.    On the other hand, the "13" had to make sure they leaked their "concerns" to the press  so their flying monkeys  could start a ruckus.  I can understand  that some of the attendees  had concerns but it is the way they handled it that shows their real character or lack thereof.  

Who practiced real humility?
Who made room for the Holy Spirit to work?
Who stuck his neck out? 

Who put their faith in worldly  and evil ways, to get their way with  a "letter of concern" leaked to the press, depending on right wing Catholic pundits to discredit a legitimate successor of Peter?

All of these "letters of concern" have the same false humility, and the need to be made the concerns  public.

I'll stick with Pope Francis. Thank you.
