"He said he “would be interested in a genuine theological exchange with you about the argumentation of these texts, since they try to pave ways to make evangelization possible.”"
As interested as he's been whenever Pope Francis has told him that he can't change Church teaching? Or is this one of those occasions when dialogue is being abused into being a euphemism for something else?

Oh no, not the endgame. We've seen this in other Christian bodies and in politics: The goal is to keep talking until they get their way. Then disagreement is no longer allowed.
Praise God that the Church is protected from defecting from the truth, but that doesn't mean no damage is done.
Spot on. Keep talking to make ‘crazy’ ideas normalized and make people numb to it all… then, voila, changes are implemented because people are too exhausted to fight back. Boil the frog.
I’m not sure how polite synodality really is. I think synodality is where those who think that they have institutional power tell those without to shut up and go away.
It also seems to imply the evangelization is not currently possible. As if truth has somehow become incompatible with those we would seek to evangelize.

“Shut up” they explained.
