On this week’s episode of “Jesuitical,” Ashley and Zac share a “conversation in the Spirit” with Linda Staudt, a lay delegate from Canada who was selected to participate in the 2023 and 2024 Synod of Bishops.

German Cardinal Gerhard Müller, a former Vatican doctrinal chief, cast sharp criticism on the Synod on Synodality days ahead of the synod’s second and final session starting Oct. 2.

The Vatican’s decision to expel 10 important members from the once-powerful Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, a scandal-plagued society of apostolic life founded in Peru in 1971, was received with shock by many in Peru.

Julia Oseka and José Manuel De Urquidi join Colleen Dulle for an interview about their experience at the synod: a month of deep listening, dialogue, and disagreement handled with respect—even on sensitive topics like LGBT issues and women’s ordination—and what they expect from this year’s Synod on Synodality

The challenge for Americans in a turbulent, anxiety-producing and, at times, dangerous world is to remain vigilant while keeping despair at bay.

Some members of the Synod of Bishops may need to let go of old ways of doing things and others may need to let go of a desire to make everything new, Dominican Father Timothy Radcliffe said at the pre-synod retreat.
