The Synod Opens | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I wonder if Cardinal O'Malley will be there as well.  On the question of barn burners, this Homily was one.  He may have just shifted the Synod from family morality (although it will be a part) to family finances!  Now that would be worthy and it would end all this claptrap about the Church's social teaching being a throw-away up to prudential judgment.  Indeed, I would love it if the Synod excommunicated Catholic employers (including clergy) and shareholders who paid families less than a living wage (of equal living standards to their own families).  What about do unto others is not obvious?
