This is, I'm afraid, simply impossible. The whole thing is so liberal boomer-coded. They're the only ones who have time to waste on this sort of thing! And everyone else who attempted to contribute at all to the "synodal process" has been carefully filtered out at every stage.

Someone is being *very* selective here with the Pope's homily, since (contra Mr Palmo's tweet) Leo also asked for "a Church that does not judge as the Pharisee does the tax collector, but becomes a welcoming place for all..."
