When I see the expression Synod on Synodality, I can't help but remember an incident found in Louis Bouyer's Memoirs. He was at a theological commission meeting, sitting next to Fr Joseph Ratzinger, Karl Rahner was, as usual, hogging the floor. Fr Ratzinger said to Fr Bouyer: Another monologue about dialogue

They are opening a 'Pachamama's Box'.
“Tradition is not the transmission of things or words, a collection of dead things. Tradition is the living river that links us to the origins, the living river in which the origins are ever present, the great river that leads us to the gates of eternity.” Benedict XVI
