Note: Be sure to tune in tomorrow – Thursday, October 3rd at 8 PM Eastern – to EWTN for a new episode of the Papal Posse on ‘The World Over.’ TCT Editor-in-Chief Robert Royal (from Rome) will join contributor Fr. Gerald E. Murray and host Raymond Arroyo to discuss the second session of the Synod on Synodality now underway, as well as other developments in the Universal Church. Check your local listings for the channel in your area. Shows are usually available shortly after first airing on the EWTN YouTube channel.
As the second (and final?) session of the Synod on Synodality opens today, many people are still asking: What is synodality? There seems to be no good answer to that question. Indeed, the synod organizers think the very question is wrong. The best that anyone with some authority to say has been able to come up with is that synodality is not a “what” but a “process.” It “is” what it “does.”Related posts
