Anyone who has attended a synod of bishops will tell you that it’s more about the journey than the destination.

The global advocacy group End Clergy Abuse is seeking to draw attention to the failure of Pope Francis to make good on years of pledges of “zero tolerance” for abuse.

Pope Francis told the college of cardinals that it is called “to resemble a symphony orchestra, representing the harmony and synodality of the church.”

Energetic, resolutely modern, as comfortable with technology as with theology, and deeply cosmopolitan, Patriarch Pizzaballa shares Pope Francis’ intention to restore Jerusalem to its former glory.

Cardinals have to pay around 2,000 euros for the basic outfit, which consists of a woolen cassock and a choir shirt in red.

The Catholic Church excommunicated Luther. The Lutheran Augsburg Confession calls the papacy the ‘anti-Christ.’ But both sides are hopeful about the future of Christian unity.
