Romanian doctor makes blunt, powerful plea to pope and bishops in her Synod talk.

This easily has to be the best speech I've heard come out of Rome in a while: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/romanian-doctor-makes-blunt-powerful-plea-to-pope-and-bishops-in-presentati

Yeah, this was really good. Thanks for posting it. It gives me hope to know they're hearing that. (And hopefully listening.)

I hardly think the Pope is giving into the sin of the world.

I haven't paid much attention to the Synod but I had this morning off work and decided to check out the article in my free time- I'm really glad I did. She calls it like it is. Powerful. When I pray for the Synod I'll remember her and her talk and pray it encourages and strengthens the bishops involved in the Synod.

Some of the bishops certainly are. Whether or not the Pope agrees with them, he has a responsibility to guard the faith against their attacks.

So now we need to tell the Pope how to be Pope because the Pope isn't Pope enough?

I don't think the pope minds the critiques. It's kind of his thing.

The Catholic Church has a history of reminding Popes to guard the Faith from heresy....starting with St Paul correcting St Peter. I think this lady is expressing what a lot of Faithful Catholics  are feeling right now... I didn't read anything where she's saying "Hey Pope, ur not Pope enough."

Sometimes the pope gets too comfortable in Avignon.

I don't think this is about the Pope.

St Catherine of Siena did once. So did St Paul. Consider, why is "ultramontanism" a term that only came about in the 19th century?
