First Things: LETTERS FROM THE SYNOD-2018: #4
October 8, 2018 / by Xavier Rynne II
The fourth in a series of reports on Synod-2018.

Interview with Archbishop Sample

Posting this more on his reflections about prayer and reverence in liturgical praxis than his apologia for the EF in Latin or his theology of Holy Orders (as I disagree with both). Young Latin Catholics have been deprived of much, but who is going to provide them with what they need?

Maybe the Anglican Ordinariates.

CNA: Pope Francis orders review of Vatican McCarrick files

CWR: Analysis: Pope’s ‘thorough study’ of McCarrick files unlikely to satisfy by Christopher R. Altieri
This “thorough study” could be a very little step in the right direction — certainly too little and arguably too late.
