Participants Begin Work in Small Groups on Day 3 of the Synod on Synodality | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

At the Vatican, work has begun on the Synod on Synodality. Participants have broken down into 35 small groups, primarily divided by language. One by one they arrived cardinals, bishops, religious and lay people from across the world, coming to play their part in the first week of the Vatican's synod. There are strict rules around what the participants can talk about outside of the Synod hall, so getting information on the specifics of what is actually being discussed is difficult. However, Bishop Theodorus Cornelis Maria Hoogenboom, Auxiliary Bishops of Utrecht said, "Well, of course, the Synod is an adventure and I hope that listening to each other, listening to the Holy Spirit will bring forth well unity in the church and also well to get to know each other. It's not the final thing, it's next year there will be a second round. But I can say already now that so we are in the learning process. I already said the Church of the Holy Spirit is to protect the protagonist of the Synod and I will not speak before my turn." The Synod also takes into consideration the views of those in different parts of the Catholic Church.
