And what they didn't know until just now, when you look at the agenda here, that it's just a bunch of Sonata working groups.

You know, at Canon 212, I put up a picture of this very sad working group that you would see in any company.

We have to get in a group, and they have discussion points, and then they report back.

And they're not going to ever really interact so much with Leo.

Leo's going to give a speech.

Then they're going to talk to each other, and then they have only 45 minutes before lunch to actually talk to the group and have an interaction between the group that's not in these very closely governed small groups.

And then they have another moment.

It's starting today, and it'll be over tomorrow evening.

Another moment right before Leo's closing speech.

Now, nobody's going to want to over-talk it right when it's almost time for Leo, and people are going to disappear for lunch.

It's just they're very disappointed, I think, because what they're ending up getting is something that we don't even know.

I mean, what are they discussing?

The issues that are supposed to be discussed at this meeting are synods and synodality.

And, oh, the liturgy too, but how are they going to talk about the liturgy?

Yeah, I don't know if the liturgy is going to have time to be discussed.

We really don't know what they're going to discuss.

They had some pre-reading.

They had like Francis's opening manifesto, which is sort of his liberation theology church, and they have –

the new constitution of the church that was released by the gang of nine, now the gang of six, that rewrote the constitution of the church.

These things are already produced.
