The pope approved of the Relatio before the synod began. A heretical pope.
Here is an interesting attempt to achieve clarity, a hope to prevent preventive clarifications:
” The link below is to a petition first signed by Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, Cardinal Walter Brandmueller, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, among many other prominent Catholic personalities. It filially requests His Holiness Pope Francis, to make a clear statement upholding the traditional, orthodox teaching of the Church on the issues of Holy Communion for the divorced and “remarried”, and homosexual unions. The context of the petition is the present time of preparation for the upcoming Synod of Bishops on the Family. The petition is being circulated internationally in a number of different languages.
I have just signed the petition and warmly encourage you to consider not only signing it, but also forwarding it to your own email contacts who you anticipate will be in sympathy with this important initiative. It can be accessed and signed at the following link. This is the kind of petition that needs not just tens, but hundreds of thousands of signatures to make a real impact. (And don’t worry – unlike so many petition drives, this one doesn’t have ‘strings attached’, and I mean tugging at your purse-strings!)

Let us also pray and make sacrifices during the upcoming Lenten season with the intention that the October Synod and the Holy Father do not yield ground to the relentless and powerful spirit of the world, and firmly uphold Catholic teaching and discipline on these matters which are so vital for the well-being of marriage and the family. “
Thank you Patricia. Just signed. 🙂
Philip: I did, too. It’s a way to communicate the sense of apparent imbalance revealed in the outreach and rejection; and to defend faith, reason, and reverence. (which is becoming sadly necessary)
If The bishops will not uphold the Church the laity must do it.
In the days of Arius the heretical bishop, the laity rose up, grabbed him out of his residence, threw him outside the city gate and closed the doors behind him.
Eye of the Tiber is slipping. Preventative Clarification would not be a matter for the Catechism but rather for Canon Law or the Apostolic Constitution. Oy Vey!
