Fr. Aidan Nichols, O.P., Catholic World Report - It’s sometimes said that synodality has never been properly defined, perhaps because modern ecclesiastical texts are not written by Schoolmen. A suitable definition might run, ‘Synodality is a spirit of co-responsibility for the life and mission of the Church which finds expression in decision-making processes or events and is applicable in an analogous way at the local (meaning parochial or diocesan), regional (meaning provincial, national, or patriarchal), and universal (meaning global) level of the Church body’.

By Thomas V. Mirus, Catholic Culture - Having examined some of the major areas of disagreement between Catholic feminists and their opponents, I want to take a step back and look at Catholic feminism as a movement. I fear that Catholic feminism is something of an echo chamber, and that indeed, the very notion of “feminism” is so one-sided that its failure to create a healthy world for both sexes is inevitable... Take for instance the University of St. Thomas’s new program offering a Master of Arts in “Catholic Women’s and Gender Studies”. The program offers four graduate certificates, in “Catholic Feminism”, “Women’s Health and Wellness”, “Gender and Family Policy”, and “Catholic Approaches to Sexuality and Gender”.
