On "Inside the Vatican" this week, Gerard O'Connell explains why he was skeptical of a supposed leak of Pope Francis' forthcoming document on the Amazon.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI did not co-author the book ‘From the Depths of Our Hearts’ with Cardinal Robert Sarah and asked to have his name removed as co-author, according to Archbishop Georg Gänswein.

The accusations of paganism and idolatry at the Synod on the Amazon sent a troubling message about the universality of the church, writes Mary McAuliffe, a teacher at a Jesuit school in the Pacific.

Pope Francis said there are plans to include a definition of ecological sins in the church's official teaching.

What were the results of the Amazon synod?

Deacon Andrade de Lima, the son of farmers who grew up on the banks of the Amazon River in the Solimões region, said he is involved in the formation of pastoral workers in the region and assists the bishops in the implementation of their decisions.
