To my readers: I will be taking a break from blogging over the next ten days, as I will be on my honeymoon. Thank you for your support this last year, and may you have a blessed Christmas.
Christ's peace!

The influence of the Synod on Synodality for the conclave—and what the result of the conclave might mean for the future of synodality
The role of the pope is in a process of conversion from worldly monarch to world’s priest.
At the Synod on Synodality, the cardinals were ‘converted’ to working together in a new way. As they join their brothers in the conclave, they face a referendum on—and resistance to—their work.
“In a time when the globalized economic and political order is crumbling—especially exposed during the Trump era—the church may well be one of the last stubborn institutions that still holds a truly global character.”
Thank you!
