What a beautiful and kind smile! Prevost is so photogenic, darling of the camera and stage. We should call him "a smiling Pope", just like his predecessor and master was "a breath of fresh air" and "sooo humble".
This article from Life Site News highlights how Cardinal Zen criticized the Synodal process in front of Pope Leo and the Cardinals at the Consistory. He said the entire process was manipulated, the outcomes decided ahead of time, and the power of Bishops minimized in favor of laity. He accused the organizers of calling to the Holy Spirit in an attitude of expectation of surprises. He wondered how someone can ask the Holy Spirit for surprises, given the continual guidance of the Holy Spirit throughout the Church's History.
Fri Jan 9, 2026 - 3:12 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Joseph Zen, the bishop emeritus of Hong Kong, during an intervention before the extraordinary consistory of cardinals this week, slammed the Synod on Synodality’s final document and the entire synodal process for bypassing the bishops’ rightful authority, allowing for various interpretations, and suggesting that the Holy Spirit can change His mind. The 93-year-old Chinese cardinal’s intervention, first reported by the College of Cardinals Report, was made before Pope Leo XIV and 170 of his brother cardinals and focused on the accompanying note to the final document of the three-year Synod on Synodality. Cardinal Zen used the entire three minutes allotted to him to rebuke the document and the entire synodal process as “ironclad manipulation” for taking away bishops’ authority by bypassing them in favor of the laity and for having a predetermined outcome. The cardinal further stressed the contradiction of Pope Francis declaring …
Reports from the extraordinary consistory on January 7-8 in Rome point to significant internal disagreements. TheCatholicHerald.com cites several cardinals, most speaking anonymously. Main quotes. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Jerusalem: “Reform is not a Church language. In the Church there are no reforms.

I don’t understand the intelligent men who write on and on about it.” Progressive cardinal, anonymous: “Sitting around tables rather than facing leaders at the front is a brilliant sign of collegiality.” …More
Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media In the 1970s, the number of homeschoolers was roughly 13,000. By the 1980s, this figure had grown to 200,000, and by the 1990s, it reached 850,000.

My Brothers and Sisters In Christ, A watchman does not cry out every hour of the night. He speaks when something has shifted – when the air itself feels different, when the ground beneath familiar landmarks has begun to move. What has unfolded in Rome this week is not something to panic over, nor something to ignore. It is something to notice. There has been a gathering of cardinals occurring – an extraordinary consistory – called not to define doctrine, not to correct grave error, not to defend the altar or clarify confusion, but to reflect, to listen, to converse, and to continue a process. And the way this gathering was framed tells us far more than any single sentence spoken within it. From the very beginning, the emphasis was clear: The Church was asked once again to look at herself – and to do so through one particular lens. Not through the accumulated wisdom of councils stretching back to the Apostles. But through the Second Vatican Council, presented not as a chapter in the …More
'Advice' from an atheist - Kurt Vonnegut (? ) ~~ There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization...

He sounds as thought it's ok to be or do evil. Just do more good than evil. That's how I am reading and getting out of it. Is this what you are getting out of itIn Principio to you?
