We now know everyone who will participate in the historic month-long gathering at the Vatican this October.

The Ukrainian Catholic archbishop of Philadelphia and Metropolitan for the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the United States speaks about his church's synod and its meeting with Pope Francis.

Antonio Spadaro, S.J., announced today that he will end his 12-year role as editor in chief of La Civiltá Cattolica on Sept. 30, and will become undersecretary of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Culture and Education.

Pope Francis announced several times that he hoped Cardinal Zuppi would go to Beijing on a peace mission, but it has taken a long time for the Chinese to agree to accept him.

The Ukrainian bishops did not hold back during a nearly two-hour private audience with the pope.

On the plane home from Mongolia, Pope Francis answered several questions about this October’s synod of bishops.
