Except, in classic E.S. fashion, he misses the point entirely:

The purpose of the synod is to provide the *appearance* of listening, so as to pacify a certain element of the Church, all the while decreeing whatever you'd like.

The documents are already written.

That's true. And part of that fake "listening" involves strategically choosing in advance who to listen to, who gets to "vote."

Overall, the manipulation is gross. Makes a mockery of the Magesterium.

So in the end, the “vote” doesn’t matter. At least in parishes it matters to some degree; while always a recommendation to the pastor (and not a democracy) it impacts real decision making.

Not here. I have not nor will I pay attention to this joke going on right now because at the end of the day it doesn’t matter.
