A Reflection for Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time, by Grace Lenahan

“The second and final session of the Synod on Synodality has just concluded,” Father James Martin writes. “And what I noticed most this year is how much the attitude toward L.G.B.T.Q. issues has changed—and for the good.”

Pope Francis delivered a homily during the closing Mass for the Synod of Bishops in St. Peter's Basilica Oct. 27.

"I do not intend to publish an apostolic exhortation. What we have approved is enough," Pope Francis said. Instead, he ordered the publication of the synod's final document.

Fr. James Martin shares his five insights from the synod's final document, just approved by Pope Francis and published by the Vatican.

At midday yesterday, the Vatican released Pope Francis’ latest encyclical, “Dilexit Nos,” in which he invites us, the faithful, to return to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and rediscover our own hearts.

At a time when the church’s doctrinal teachings on faith and morals are questioned everywhere, the relevance of such teachings to the believers brought up in diverse contexts is of utmost importance.

On the eve of the highly anticipated publication of the final report for the Synod on Synodality, Zac Davis and Colleen Dulle speak with James Martin, S.J., about his time inside the second assembly.

The charitable nonprofit Unbound is currently seeking participants for a study on the health benefits of charitable giving.
