A Brief Summary of the Synod So Far
I must be among the very most blessed of all the Catholics in the world.
I went to a synod in which the major issues put before the bishop this evening were:
The need for a new Catholic High School,
The need for NFP and a request that it be made a mandatory part of pre-cana
A request for the return of tabernacles to the sanctuary
A request for much greater education, cathechesis, and moral training for Catholic young people and adults.
AND
I found out this evening that our Bishop has granted one parish the indult to serve the traditional Latin Mass.
Only one person spoke up at all in any way of controversy and her one plea was for greater acceptance and love for our homosexual brothers and sisters (she was the mother of a homosexual person).
Not bad at all for an evening that I had honestly (even before other reports) expected to be filled with rancor and strife. I suspect it is one of the advantages of our Hispano-Phillipino mix--God bless diversity in culture!
