On the Synod

Publisher's Note

I am pleased to present in this issue a series of articles that put a fitting cap on the recently concluded gathering of the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops on the Family at the Vatican. The synod process will officially conclude in October 2015, with the Pope’s post-synodal exhortation.

With our page-one essay and interview, our analyses on page six, our symposium on the op-ed page and the guest editorial on this page, the Register has sought to report on the synod’s activities and major issues with clarity, faith and truth. Our coverage aims to cut through the distorted reporting of certain media outlets — organizations that seek to undermine Church teaching and promote its dissenting voices as the rule rather than the exception.

Please continue to pray for our Church leaders to help restore marriage and the family to their rightful position in the center of society and the Church.

God bless you!
