It appears that the Synod on Synodality (that's what he calls it) will be a Synod Sine Terminus--that is, it will go on through '24. (As a bonus to Francis and his henchmen, that will allow the Synod to condemn Republican candidate for President Donald Trump.)
More serious:
MOST Catholics, even the not-very-faithful ones, have a clear picture of the Church. It has priests, Bishops, some deacons, church buildings, schools, nuns, and a bunch of moral teachings which are easily recalled.
But the Synod Sine Terminus aims to change those moral teachings and deacons, too!
The Vatican has unveiled the document to guide the next stage of the Synod on Synodality, which presents calls for more inclusion of the divorced and “re-married,” LGBT groups, and proposes a “female diaconate.”...
This sort of stuff is what makes this Synod irrelevant. Catholics know what the Church teaches, and who is supposed to be preaching (it ain't women.) Fiddling, tweaking, adjusting? That's not the Church, and even such "Catholics" as Biden and Pelosi know that--but they won't admit it.
There's a reason that Churchill said this:
A love for tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril.
It's not only "nations" which are strong by virtue of adherence to tradition.
When you depart from tradition, you depart from strength, and when you depart from strength, you become irrelevant in the world.
That's why this is the Synod of Irrelevance.
