At the Synod in Rome: Ep 7


Listen Later

As the Synod on Synodality enters its final week, Timothy Radcliffe urged delegates to speak with freedom as they consider and vote on the final document. Delegates were also addressed by head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Fernandez, whose absence from a meeting on women's ministries provoked indignation among delegates.

Synod expert and papal biographer Austen Ivereigh attended the Friday meeting of study group 5 and says it was an important moment for seeing synodality in action.

He tells Geraldine this synod is 'a holy process' with the Spirit 'pouring out gifts and charisms on us all, which need to be better recognised by the Church.’ It's a call to both rights and responsibilities for the transformation of the Church.
