Maybe it's just because I am in a post election phase/recovery....but it does occur to me that I really don't care what these 4 folks have come up with...Sort of a "So What" feeling.

They are obvious conservatives....and Francis isint their guy...Rorate Caeli is their preferred home, and arch conservatives are their associates, colleagues and friends..

The Synods are over. AL is published and distributed...various Conferences and individual prelates will interpret according to their biases ....we already have evidence of that in the US, and certainly elsewhere.

 AND 24/7 media provides EVERYONE wherever they are the ability to read AL and draw their own conclusions! AND Exercise their own conscience....regarding AL.

This is a 21st century 24/7 internet availability world where the Church provides its perspective and most mature adults can factor in the data for themselves.

These 4.... So what. No surprises...not all that interesting, either.
