Questions and Answers

  • The Synod on the Family has been in the news now for months. But is this the first Synod of its kind? Or has there been some history behind it?
  • What is the theological value of this meeting? Does it qualify as a magisterial act of the Church?
  • What is the forecast regarding this coming Synod?
  • We have already dealt extensively on the first problem of Communion for remarried divorcees in articles of this issue. The second is certainly a mine field. What about the third issue? What are we talking about when we speak of the natural law?
  • Instrumentum Laboris proposes to improve the language traditionally used in explaining 'Natural Law'. What are we to think of this project of the October Synod?
  • From the statements of these recent popes, it seems as if the natural law is a fixed item in the Church's teaching, not an object of "manipulation," to use the words of the late Pope?
  • Should we repeat our prayer intentions each time we recite the Rosary?
