I heard someone say recently that synodality can't change that the church is hierarchical. I wanted to laugh.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
