To understand synodality you have to know that the obsession of post V2 liberal modernists is power. It's what they think about, what they're concerned about, what they want. This ideology attracts people who are "into" power. It is the characteristic flaw of that generation.

This is obvious in the German synodal way, which is run by secular people who see power in the money and institutions of the German Church and are trying to seize it by insincere emotional appeals to the abuse crisis. Less obvious maybe with the Synod on Synodality, but you can see it there with the various obsessions (besides the surface level sex ones): Structures; Dialogue; Women must be heard! It's all about who is running things with even a strain of fear that somehow someone else would run things and "I would lose control."
You can see this power-fixation in Pope Francis himself. He has changed the office of the papacy into this weird thing where he has to be consulted on everything: individuals are constantly moved around, the rules are constantly changed without warning or discussion and he himself has come to rely more and more on weak and compromised individuals who for various reasons would never dream of stepping out of line or having their own opinions.

IMO, to understand what is happening in Rome one has to be under the influence.
