America is excited to announce that we are heavily investing in our coverage of the synod to keep you informed.

The synod on synodality has prompted a battle over grand visions for the church. Meanwhile, Catholic parishes are failing to meet the day-to-day spiritual needs of people in the pews.

“The reality of sexual abuse in our church goes to the heart of the synod’s agenda,” a statement by the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors said.

My hopes are simple: I hope that the synod will be guided by the Holy Spirit and the participants will be able to listen to the voices of Catholics from around the world.

Dialogue becomes that much more difficult when you feel that God is on your side.

As the church approaches the Synod on Synodality, Synod delegate Iván Montelongo explains how he integrates the spirit of Synodality into his preaching—all while keeping his homilies short and sweet.
