By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - The Synod on Synodality— a project on which Pope Francis embarked in 2021, a project that spawned hundreds of meetings and thousands of pages of verbiage, a project that threatened to go on forever— has finally ended... Or has it?... Officially the Synod closed on October 26, having approved a final statement the previous day. “What we have approved in the document is enough,” Pope Francis declared, explaining that he would not follow up with the customary apostolic exhortation commenting on the Synod’s deliberations.
