Silly synodal voices

Reading through the interventions in the synod hall I can discern three categories: the good, the bad, and the vacuous. Unfortunately the good are few, and the majority are either inane or plain bad. I detect in several speakers a certain cheekiness. It is as if they feel they can express before the mild Benedict what they had to keep hushed before the stern JP. And at this point an interesting thought occurs to me. Is this Big Ben's plan? Has he set a grand trap (no reference to Soligny) for these pathetic prelates? 'Ja wohl, zat vas a fery inzeresting inzerfention, ve'll not be infitink you again, or making you a carzindal.' His mills grind slowly, but may they grind fine.
