text: It's beyond me why the most important sentence in AL is in a footnote. Huh? What did the bishops actually decide in their all-male synods?  Maybe reissue AL and expand the footnote to a chapter so it makes sense
  
  It's beyond me why some here, pure as the driven snow no doubt, have to go around calling other people sinners. Take a look at your own soul and your continuing serious sins. We are all learners, not sinners.
  
  And this article has as its main point that popes can never be wrong? I guess that is an opinion. Certainly not a fact. Popes are human just like anybody else.
  
  I would like to hear people calling out how they will have solidarity with their brothers and sisters who have been banned from Jesus' Table. Have solidarity with your adult children who have walked away or been banned
  
  I don't mind hearing from 'marginal' Catholics, but seriously, what are they saying? Francis is not a heretic. Popes are supposed to lead, not just be parrots of previous popes.
