Brian Fraga has a commentary in the NCR railing against orthodox Catholics who are complaining about the Synod as a way to create a different Church which, in fact, is another denomination.
Fraga indicates that Pope Francis sees the synod on synods as an act of God.
Creeping infallibility anyone?
All voices must be heard except Mueller, EWTN and anyone who has concerns about the synod itself. The left’s propaganda is to call their concerns “misinformation”.
It’s fine if the NCR wants to critique orthodox Catholics. But the NCR reporter simply states the facts. He can’t repudiate what these orthodox Catholics are saying, he can only go backwards to the 1970’s and shame them as being “orthodox” or “conservative” the political term, not the religious one, which is what out of control heterodox did in the 1970’s. Back then, the “N” word they used was to call the orthodox so “pre-Vatican II!”
As I have written before, shaming those who want an orthodox Catholicism, open to its past, present and future, is the way of the heterodox. Words like fundamentalist, rigid, conservative, traditional, become the new “N” words. They use these terms to manipulate and shame and ultimately marginalize.
They’ve lost not just the battle, but the war. The article below does nothing to show that the concerns of the orthodox is “misinformation”. Truth or misinformation? You decide.

Fr. AJM,
You've captured well what, perhaps, I'm not articulating with equal effectiveness.
I appreciate Fr. MJK's candor, but am left wondering how is what replaced elements of the '62 missal not equally as fetishized?
Fetishization seems to be in the eyes of the power base it seems. Why? Much is conjecture as you've rightly pointed out.
So, where does this leave us in our Catholic cafeteria? We're never going to agree. And the "Enlightened" have a stranglehold on power, so, yes, we've lost the war. I'm increasingly not convinced the Victor's approach is the right one. Perhaps, the Church at-large has lost both the war and it's collective soul.
