text: HC,  I wish I could up-vote your comment more than once.  The nosy-parkers of the RCC try to cover themselves with a veneer of righteous concern, all while causing more harm than good.   Their loud voices often drown out the still small voice of God in the lives of others...  and drive those folks away.   I believe that Pope Francis is expecting Catholics to act like adults and think,  rather than acting like baby birds with wide open beaks hoping to have a worm of precise law dropped down their throats.    AL basically summarized the conclusions of the synods' participants...  now folks need to read it prayerfully and reflect rather than whine about having to think.
