I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Don't take a hostage you aren't willing to shoot. That may be a problem the Vatican now has. They are saying "do this or face a schism" yet have not seem to have thought out what a schism would actually entail if 90% of the priests in the area refused compliance.
It appears there are increasing voices in the synod adopting the less insane approach of not creating a schism just to show you are in control. Hopefully they win out, yet I think even if the Synod made a choice, it would not be enough for rome to back down, as Francis has invested far too much of his authority in the issue.
You can't give a hecklers veto to the papal magisterium. Previous popes were smart and humble enough not to give an opportunity for said hecklers veto. We may learn the consequences of that shortly.
