Coverage of the Extraordinary Synod
Synod. First Shot on Target Comes From the Conservatives
Thanks above all to the introductory talk of Cardinal Erdõ, adamant in excluding the ambiguous “openness” of the base document. But the innovators are already on the counterattack. And they’re counting on the support of the pope
Synod. One Tweet Does Not a Summer Make
The work of the assembly has never been so secretive. Useless news served up by the official channels. Nonexistent translations for fathers who don’t know Italian. The symbolic gesture of rupture from the Polish bishops

Synod fathers discuss cultural contexts, anthropological changes, social contradictions
A focus during this week of the Synod of Bishops has been analysis of both positive and negative “anthropological and cultural changes in our times”

Through the Cross, Christ sanctified His body—the link with the world. He rejected the temptations sent to Him by the world, that is to taste the pleasures, to satisfy His needs unrestrained or to avoid pain and death. If we, in the same way, ward off the temptations of sin and patiently suffer the pain of death, sanctity can spread from His body to all bodies and throughout the world.
Archimandrite Sergius (Bowyer)
In this talk Fr. Sergius speaks on several important themes, including the benefits of pilgrimage for helping us to encounter God, the power of the saints, moving away from an inner monologue towards a dialogue with God beginning with a consistent prayer rule, and having an attitude of blessing and thanksgiving.
