About this sermon
Pope Francis issued a slight alteration to leaders of the Eastern Rite Catholic Church. In a letter released on Monday, the Holy Father introduced an age limit for voting in synods and the elections of major Eastern Rite leaders. Now, retired bishops and patriarchs over the age of 80 will not be able to vote in those meetings. EWTN News Executive Editor and DC Bureau Chief, Dr. Matthew Bunson, joins to tell us more about this apostolic letter and what it means. The apostolic letter explains why this change was needed. Dr. Bunson shares more about that. Speaking of this motu proprio and the latest ones that have been published recently, Dr. Bunson discusses Pope Francis' style of governance. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
