The highly anticipated text was approved paragraph by paragraph on Oct. 28 by a vote of 344 Synod delegates, which for the first time included women and other non-bishops as voting members.
Hundreds of synod delegates are meeting in a retreat center in Sacrofano, 20 miles north of Rome, for the three-day retreat ahead of the opening of the Synod on Synodality at the Vatican on Oct. 4.
Bishop McGrattan said Church-affiliated organizations will focus on palliative care and will not support euthanasia.
During their meeting this week, the bishops will also address the expansion of euthanasia in Canada and the protection of vulnerable persons, including minors.
NEWS ANALYSIS: The Synod on Synodality’s 364 participants come from around the world; but when it comes to the 50 papal nominees selected specifically by Pope Francis — less so.
Lay Catholics and women religious will be voting members of the October 2023 Synod of Bishops, and while synodal officials dismiss talk of a ‘revolution,’ some canonists say it could alter the nature of the assembly.
The current Synod on Synodality is a global process that has proceeded from the parish, diocesan, national, and continental levels.
