He also addresses criticism of the Synod and acknowledges the fears of those who oppose the people of God and the hierarchy. Cardinal Grech explains that the theme of the Synod is for the synodal Church and that other hot-button issues will not be addressed in this particular synodal assembly. He also comments on the German synodal path and emphasizes the importance of listening to the Word of God in the light of tradition and magisterium.
