Cardinal Hollerich: ‘If women do not feel comfortable in the church, we have failed.’

The working document, or instrumentum laboris, for next October’s meeting of the Synod of Bishops is “taking up again” the teaching of the Second Vatican Council on the church by focusing on the missionary responsibility of all the baptized in the synodal church. That is what Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, the relator general for next October’s synod, said in this exclusive interview with America’s Vatican correspondent.

Two Perspectives on the Synod’s New ‘Working Document’

The Instrumentum laboris [IL] for the October 2024 Synodal Assembly has now been published. The topic for consideration by the synod delegates is “How to be a Synodal Church in Mission.” The answer given in the IL is simple and stark:  we must change the way the Church is governed. Bishops and priests must cede authority to the laity, especially women. New power-sharing arrangements must be implemented to uphold (finally!) the faithful’s baptismal equality.

At Catholic Radar we rest on weekends, to spend time with the family and sanctify the holidays.

Before we go, we leave you with some positive news from these days. Many good things happen in the Church, but they are not usually on the media’s radar.

The impressive numbers of the Church in Africa are because “its centre is God, not man”.

Biennale Venezia, Israele chiude padiglione fino a liberazione ostaggi Hamas

Posted on by Catholic Radar N

(TG la 7).

Resteranno abbassate le serrande del padiglione di Israele in occasione della 60esima Biennale di Venezia. Resterà chiuso “sino a che non sarà pattuito un cessate il fuoco e non saranno liberati gli ostaggi” nelle mani di Hamas, l’annuncio comparso stamane, martedì 16 aprile, in un cartello esposto all’esterno del padiglione israeliano alla Biennale Arte, giusto prima dell’apertura. 

La decisione del curatore e dell’artista, Ruth Patir, non è quella di cancellare l’esibizione, “ma – spiega – è una scelta di solidarietà con le famiglie degli ostaggi e la grande comunità di Israele che chiede un cambiamento”.

Editor’s note

Posted on by Catholic Radar Ja

In a statement by Luis Badilla, published this afternoon in Il Messagero, the author of Il Sismógrafo said: “I read in amazement that there would be an information project that would take over the Seismograph experience. I deny having ever had anything to do with this project linked to Opus Dei and I don’t even understand why they should use my name”.

From Catholic Radar we want to confirm that indeed this project has no relation with the work developed by Luis, widely praised for his rigor and altruism. We are truly sorry for any misunderstandings that may have arisen in some people.

We also wish to clarify that this project has no institutional relationship with Opus Dei or any other institution of the Church. In fact, the editor is looking for volunteers from a variety of ecclesial sensibilities.

Catholic Radar has no intention of hiding the fact that the editor of the project does belong to Opus Dei, as can be seen in the news item published by Aciprensa this morning.

Enjoy the weekend!
