The Synod on Synodality is the fifth synod of Pope Francis’ pontificate. It marks the first time he has chosen to forgo writing a post-synodal apostolic exhortation in favor of adopting the text drafted by the synod participants.
The post-synodal apostolic exhortation Querida Amazonia sets forth the Holy Father’s ‘Four Dreams’ for the region, but steers clear of endorsing married priests or women deacons.
COMMENTARY: Pope Francis’ more than 250-page text on the family deals beautifully and decisively on threats to marriage and hesitantly and ambivalently on putting Church teaching into practice.
But concerns already are being expressed about Chapter 8, which introduces ambiguity in its discussion of ‘accompanying, discerning and integrating weakness.’
NEWS ANALYSIS: The much-anticipated papal document will be unveiled on Friday in Rome.
In new EWTN Germany interview, Archbishop Stanisław Gadecki discusses meeting’s strengths and weaknesses, dismisses talk of a German-Polish “war”, and recalls that the greatest expression of the Church’s mercy is the Sacrament of Penance.
Bishop Thomas Olmsted’s apostolic exhortation, ‘Into the Breach,’ is ‘an encouragement, a challenge and a calling forth to mission for every willing man.’
