Tom Roberts at TNR on the Synod | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Amazingly good for a magazine at whose cocktail parties Ayn Rand professed her atheism to the publisher.  This sets the table for the next year - but I don't see conservatives pulling their punches when talking about it, nor liberals pulling theirs when demanding things go further.  Still, one must start somewhere.  Finally, I suspect that Benedict was a bit too tolerant of dissent on Caritas in Veritate.  If Francis had issued it, the right wing would have really gone through the roof!
