Cardinal Mario Grech, the secretary general of the Synod of Bishops, said the non-bishop participants — among them priests, religious, deacons, and laypeople — ‘are witnesses of the memory of the process, of the itinerary, of the discernment that began two years ago.’
Is Vatican II’s achievement in reaffirming the authority of bishops being undercut by the current preparatory process for the Synod on Synodality?
On Twitter Monday, Register blogger and radio host Jimmy Akin invited his 21,800-plus followers to participate in the Synod by filling out a survey.

The Women’s Ordination Conference, founded in 1975, describes itself as “the oldest and largest organization working to ordain women as deacons, priests, and bishops.”
“Let us remember, in this regard, that synodality is not a simple discussion. It is not an ‘adjective.’ Never ‘adjectivize’ the substantiality of life.”
