One morning, on the Feast of the Nativity, the Bishop of a great city gave a rousing sermon in which he claimed that Mary was NOT the "Mother of God". A layman stood up, yelled "HERESY! We have no bishop!". He proceeded to walk out. Many laity followed. The bishop held on to his seat, and acted as bishops do. However, the Roman Pontiff, because there there actually WAS a Roman Pontiff at the time, confirmed the laity 's statement: by his public heresy, said bishop has tacitly resigned his office, having ceased to be Catholic. As a result, since that Nativity morning, Nestorius had defected from the Catholic Church, and the See of Constantinople had been vacant. Thus all acts of Nestorius were null and void.

That is TRUE "synodality", but I am sure the synodal/conciliar crowd doesn't want that practiced...like every other "ancient" practice they dredged up from the dustbin of history, they have to mutilate it because it is laced with True Faith.

Considering we have revolutionaries at the highest levels of the Vatican, I suspect this was all a deliberate scheme to get the preferred result. If you invite an unqualified but "diverse" mob to opine on a subject as consequential as the salvation of souls, why would you expect anything but disordered results? I don't think there are any adults left in the room, but the whole synodal process ought to be shut down.
