Among 12 prelates elected to the council of the Synod of Bishops, several were prominent critics of the organization of this year’s Synod meeting, according to veteran Vatican journalist Sandro Magister of L’Espresso.
Magister has posted a list of the 12 members elected by the Synod. That list has not been confirmed by the Vatican. The full list of members of the Synod council—the group that will supervise the work of the Synod staff until the next Synod assembly—will be released after Pope Francis completes the roster by naming three more members.

Why is “Catholic Culture” “reporting” what is in “Espresso”?

:eek: :confused:
 
The list is here on Magister’s own blog, freely available for everyone to read online:
