The Practical Implications for a Synodal Church
- Written by: Frank Callus
The next phase of our synodal journey begins at the start of October, in Rome. It is too easy to become distracted by the multiplicity of stages, reports, syntheses. Some have become disillusioned with the process and fear that nothing will change, at least in the short term. For the average person in the pew, there may be too little evidence of progress for the length of discussions involved. The fact that there are representatives of the laity involved and that women delegates have the right to vote, is insufficient to win over those who have spent half a lifetime waiting for some sign of progress towards the aggionamento promised by the Second Vatican Council.
But this is only part of the story of our journey.
Website on Teilhard de Chardin
- Written by: Hilda Geraghty
Web site regarding Teilhard de Chardin - All the articles there were published in The Furrow (an Irish pastoral monthly) or Spirituality (bi- monthly) over the past three years, and would be of geat interest to ACTA members. Teilhard really points the way forward for the Church at the deepest level, but he deserves to be much better known.
