Our stories this week include: (1) the newly released working document for the Synod of Bishops meeting in Rome this October, which includes clear sympathies for the LGBT agenda, a female diaconate, and more; (2) Hunter Biden's plea deal and how it distracts from his much more serious crimes; (3) a brief review of two new films (one we recommend, the other we don't); and (4) a recap of the hugely successful prayer rally and procession of reparation in Los Angeles held last Friday.
