Synodal Sleight of Hand?
Episode description
The synod is supposed to be a listening body. So why is it doing so much talking—and so much advocacy?!
The Vatican working group's new report, Cases for Listening, includes testimony from a man in a same-sex civil union accusing Courage International of harming the people it serves. Courage was never contacted. The document was published anyway.

Anyway, the real story is the broader pattern — using rhetoric for anti-Catholic advocacy.
The synod presents itself as a listening body. But listening has become a way of speaking, without owning what's being said.
