How synodal is the U.S. church?
Manage episode 446568874 series 2394772
It is no secret that the reception of the synod in the United States has been uneven. Whether you participated in a synod listening session, or even heard about the Synod on Synodality when it was launched by Pope Francis three years ago, likely depends on whether your pastor or bishop made it a priority. To get a sense of the ways the synod is (and isn’t) taking root in the U.S. church, we spoke with Michael Sean Winters, a columnist covering the Catholic Church for National Catholic Reporter and a fellow at the Center for Catholic Studies at Sacred Heart University.
Zac, Ashley and Sebastian ask Michael Sean:
- Whether the Vatican gave bishops the time and resources needed to make the synod a success
- About the common claim that the U.S. church, where lay men and women already hold positions of authority in dioceses and chanceries, is already “synodal”
- If the synod process can help to reduce the polarization among U.S. Catholics
