#synod

Really striking to see Pope Francis addressing the #synod not from the stage, where we usually see him, but from one round table among many.

Pope Francis in a speech to the #synod today criticized young priests who go around to clerical shops in Rome trying on lace cassocks and robes. “Clericalism is a whip, it is a scourge, it is a form of worldliness that defiles and damages the face of the bride of the Lord.”

At Oct 10 #Synod briefing, Cardinal Tobin said he hopes “this synod will help us” open the doors to “LGBTQ+ people” in “an even more significant way.” I asked what he’d say to Traditional Latin Mass Catholics who’ve been banished from their parish. Video:

The Church is always the Church of the poor in spirit and of sinners seeking forgiveness, and not only of the righteous and holy. Indeed, she is the Church of the righteous and holy who recognize we are poor and sinners. #Synod

#PopeFrancis at the concluding Mass of the #synod says he dreams of a church "that never demands an attestation of 'good behavior,' but welcomes, serves and loves. A church with open doors that is a haven of mercy."

In #Frascati22 our experts are working on the syntheses produced during the local consultation phase. Pages and pages full of stories, insights, but also in some cases real works of art. #synod #ListeningChurch #WalkingTogether

OCT 21 #Synod briefing: German Bishop Overbeck says: “We put Jesus Christ at the center of faith in a common quest without clinging to habits & traditionalisms which, if critically examined, have no priority in the hierarchy of truth, & this in the end is important to say.”👇1/4

Really excellent stuff from Fr Leon Pereira, O.P., on the #synod and the #ListeningChurch: "It is the grievous failure to be authentically pastoral and genuinely loving."

This is the Church we are called to dream: a Church that is the servant of all, the servant of the least. A Church that welcomes, serves, loves. A Church with open doors that is a haven of mercy. #Synod

Participation, mission, and communion are the characteristics of a humble Church, one that is attentive to the voice of the Spirit and one that is not self-centred. #Synod #MissionaryMonth

The Church – semper reformanda – cannot pursue her journey and let herself be renewed without the Holy Spirit and his surprises. Without letting herself be shaped by the hands of God the Creator, his Son Jesus Christ and his Holy Spirit. #Synod
