Zen: Ex-Synod Reduces Revelation To [Unspecified] Feelings

Hong Kong Cardinal Zen, 91, criticized the Ex-Synod for making "personal experience" the reference point of the “conversations in the Spirit” rather than Divine Revelation (CatholicHerald.co.uk, October 14).
“What does it mean ‘to discuss not ideas but experiences?’” - he asked, adding that the long tradition of ‘see and judge’ should be changed to ‘see and do not judge’, while Jesus told the Apostles to ‘teach’.
If discernment is meant to help Francis and the bishops to teach which is done through ideas, "shouldn’t the ‘conversations in the Spirit’ necessarily bring us back to Jesus himself, who said that the Spirit will ‘take from what He has taught to the Apostles’?”
Zen analyses that the bosses of the ex-synod reduce the Word of God to an unspecified "feeling of the people". Among "the people" they include even Catholics who have apostatised long ago, and reduce "the magisterium" to Francis [as if he would lord over the faith].

"The synod exists deep in our hearts, where we discover the new magisterium."

Synod, under Bergoglio, apparently now means - Where the 'odd sin' is permitted because doing anything else just wouldn't 'feel right'.

I would like to see the five Cardinals who issued the Dubia to Francis, and others coming thru to condemn the Synod. The only way to minimalize the Synod is for these brave Cardinals, and Bishops, and others is to condemn it, and encourage other priests and bishops to ignore it, disobey it, defy it.
