CNA: Cardinal Hummes Will Head the Committee to Pen the Amazon Synod’s Final Document

By Catholic News Agency - Cardinal Christoph Schönborn explained Monday that the final document at the Vatican’s Synod of Bishops on the Amazon will be written principally by a team chaired by the synod’s general relator, Brazilian Cardinal Claudio Hummes… “The word ‘drafting committee‘ is not very clear, in fact, the drafts are from the principal relator and his team. The role of the drafting committee is to give immediate approval of the work the relators do. So we, the drafting committee, don’t write the text,” the Austrian archbishop said at a press conference held Oct. 21 in the Vatican press room.
