In February, the Vatican announced that synod organizers invited 300 parish priests from around the world to meet in Rome from April 28 to May 2 in an effort to shape synodal discussions.
Time will tell whether this enigmatic study is something big or not much at all.
The Maltese cardinal, who heads the Vatican's Secretariat for the Synod, stated in a recent interview that a female diaconate (unspecified whether ordained or not) would not be a ‘revolution’ but a ‘natural deepening of the Lord’s will.’
In a March 20 announcement, the USCCB said the five priests consist of four Latin-rite priests and one Eastern Catholic priest, at the request of the Vatican.
COMMENTARY: The Synod on Synodality recognizes that the internet is not just a tool but a culture which we are called to enculturate with the Gospel.
Observing that these issues require extensive review, Pope Francis noted that there is inadequate time to fully address them ahead of the synod in October.
NEWS ANALYSIS: Remarks by Cardinal Mario Grech and Bishop Kevin Rhoades at a Notre Dame conference this week underscored that while some are focused on the ‘how’ of synodality, others are still concerned about its ‘what.’
The development comes after the DBK received a letter from the Vatican on the same day.
The Pope did not specify how many groups will be formed, what topics will be studied, or who will participate in the study groups.
COMMENTARY: Cardinal Fernández’s clarification of ‘Fiducia Supplicans,’ the Pope’s solidarity with the Jewish people, and the lack of priests at the Synod on Synodality were addressed by the Holy See last week.
