"Father Rosica was criticized for appearing to give
greater prominence to perspectives that played up a “progressive” agenda. As an
example, he spoke of an intervention to the effect that “language such as
‘living in sin’, ‘intrinsically disordered’, or ‘contraceptive mentality’ are
not necessarily words that invite people to draw closer to Christ and the
Church.”

"According to many observers, during the synod, Father
Rosica also failed to stress that such language is used in the Catechism and
did not mention the reservations many have about changing such language because
it undermines and weakens Church teaching. This led many people to see him as a
collaborator in conveying a “progressive agenda”, even though other factors may
well have been at play, too."
(...)
"Some observers
and synod participants stated privately that, in comparison to the other
relators who stressed that the interim report was a working document, Father
Rosica seemed to convey it as a “done deal” and seemed to suggest that the
Church was calling on everyone to embrace it."
