In memory of the recently deceased Synod O'Contrick, one of the great enemies of the Catholic Church,
we are now going to run a World Cup of Synod Horrors.
The
official list of the great and good is now posted, so we can see who will be redesigning Catholic teaching
for us.
So at last we have a world cup in which both Cardinals Cupich and Roche (from last year's
World
Cup of Bad Cardinals) and James Martin and Austen Ivereigh (from the 2019
World Cup of Bad Catholic Journalists)
can meet on equal terms. Plus a few others who are ready to walk with them and tell the Holy Spirit what He has decided
(is this the right language?)
My list so far is the following. Are there any others on the official list who should be added before
we do another
Twitter X-rated poll?
Abp Charles Scicluna
Abp Víctor Fernández
Bp Georg Bätzing
Cdl Arthur Roche
Cdl Blase Cupich
Cdl Christoph Schönborn
Cdl Jean-Claude Hollerich
Cdl Joe Tobin
Cdl Jozef De Kesel
Cdl Kevin Farrell
Cdl Luis Tagle
Cdl Mario Grech
Cdl Michael Czerny
Cdl Pietro Parolin
Cdl Robert McElroy
Cdl Seán O'Malley
Cdl Timothy Dolan
Cdl Wilton Gregory
Dr Austen Ivereigh
Fr Antonio Spadaro
Fr James Martin
