Vatican City, Oct 20, 2015 / 10:26 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Cardinal Wilfred Napier says the highly controversial midterm report from last year's synod gave weight to issues discussed by only “two or three” people, and was unseen by most synod fathers until after it hit mainstream media.

He also alluded to an agenda in the writing of the final report from last year's synod, which he was involved in drafting, saying that in the process some issues were once again “being pushed in a certain direction.”
