Archbishop Vigano himself is sounding this alarm, as are others. I haven't gotten very far in my attempts to digest the Instrumentum Laboris, but from what I've read, it is an apology for both pantheism and environmentalism. In trashing western culture, the authors of the IL are also denigrating the Catholic faith, the very basis of western culture. In turn, they downplay Jesus Christ Himself, from Whom the Catholic Church sprung.
The archbishop sees it as an amalgamation of liberation theology, socialism, pantheism, and a deconstruction of the Faith in its insinuation of married clergy, female deacons and sexual license. Cardinal Brandmuller flat out called the IL "heretical" and "apostacy".
We should point out that the proceedings of no synod are binding upon the faithful, especially when they run counter to Church Tradition. In that case, they are heretical and must not only be opposed in our personal lives, but must be outwardly and forcefully resisted if and when they are brought to bear in our churches.
