Australian Catholics are preparing for a ‘plenary council’. But the Church is in danger of encouraging false expectations
Jump on to any diocesan website in Australia and there will be a tab, a fact sheet or a snazzy revolving banner informing you about the Plenary Council 2020. The event is the latest initiative of the Australian bishops’ conference. The first complete gathering of the Australian Church since 1937, it will begin in October 2020 in central South Australia – close to the heart of the country.
