Weigel Misunderstands the Synod - And Much Else | National Catholic Reporter

Weigel Misunderstands the Synod - And Much Else | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Weigel is a true son of his patron, St. John Paul II - who himself is reputed to be the voice of reaction at Vatican II (and whom the Curia supported for election - although the Vatican II Fathers undoubtedly would not).  Weigel seems to think that the truth is what the Curia says it is.  It is time for the rest of us to have a voice.  Let us hope that each diocese has a method to hear from the sheep on these issues so that our truths, both for ourselves and those we love, are featured in the discussion enough to get to where we need to go.  I would go further than Kaspar.  Some items are not ripe for mercy (although Communion when remarried is) but acceptance (gay marriage) because they are not sins at all. I don't think the Church will get to the latter this year, but it will get there because the people are getting there - and quickly.
