Last week Bishop Robert Barron releaseda statement about the “Synod on Synodality”, which he attended, in which he is politely excoriating of both the manner and depth of reflection that took place.

He has added his voice to a growing chorus of critics, including Archbishop Fisher of Sydney, Archbishop Wilson of Southwark and Archbishop Gądecki, president of the Polish Bishop's Conference, as well as CDF Prefect Cardinal Müller who said some in the assembly are “abusing the Holy Spirit” in order to introduce “new doctrines”.
