A lot of people have sacrificed much to participate in the synod meetings. Who wants to come away with little to show from it?

Can the Synod on Synodality really be inclusive if its language is too theologically inaccessible?

A number of assumptions continue to float around the synod that are only partially true or largely false.

Confusion at this stage in the synod may not be a bad thing. As Pope Francis has often said, the Holy Spirit first creates confusion and then brings harmony.

The cry for peace and unity at the synod’s ecumenical vigil struck me as particularly moving at a time of war that has exacerbated the fractures between the three “People of the Book”—Christians, Jews and Muslims.

We’re now halfway through the four weeks of the second session of the Synod on Synodality. And a fair question to ask is: What have we done?
