Our stories this week include: (1) the new set of dubia submitted to Pope Francis by a group of five cardinals ahead of the Synod on Synodality general assembly, which began yesterday (Oct. 4) in Rome, as well as dubia submitted by the Czech Episcopal Conference regarding access to the sacraments for divorced and civilly "remarried" Catholics; (2) a new text from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò in which he argues that Francis's "acceptance of the papacy is invalidated, because he considers the papacy something other than what it is" (i.e., lack of proper consent, analogous to an invalid marriage); and (3) the historically unprecedented ousting of Rep. Kevin McCarthy from the office of House Speaker.
