Synod on Synodality Week 2: Key Issues Emerge in Small Group Discussions | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

It is the second week of the Synod on Synodality in Rome, where hundreds of participants gather every day to discuss how to be a synodal Church on mission. Bishops, religious and lay people from across the globe participating in the general assembly have now been divided into smaller study groups to discuss particular issues. Authority and relationships within the Church are some of this week's topics, but many more are expected to be covered. Senior Editor for the National Catholic Register, Jonathan Liedl, joins to share what some of the pressing issues being discussed are and what stands out the most to him. After last year's session, Pope Francis took controversial topics off this year's agenda and assigned them to separate study groups. Liedl tells us the status of these. One of the groups is looking at the possibility of women deacons. We hear that the issue is still being discussed at the Synod. Liedl explains more about this. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
