After the Synod, What's Next?
The
Extraordinary Synod on the Family is over and its participants home from the wars.
Some orthodox bishops are reportedly shell-shocked seeing how deeply their
brothers dissent from Church teaching on the indissolubility of marriage.
Despite secrecy surrounding activities in the synod hall, controversy and
contentious disagreement among the bishops spilled over, especially after the
interim report, Relatio Post Disceptationem,[i]
was released which the media saw before the bishops did.
