NEWS ...from and about Synod 2015

The general assembly of the Synod of Bishops heard the draft of a final report on Synod-2015 on the afternoon of October 22. The general assembly will hear interventions on the draft final report this morning, and the Synod members will submit modi – proposes for alterations – in writing. The drafting commission will revise the draft final report on Friday afternoon, presumably taking account of the modi and the oral interventions in response to the draft. A revised draft will be read to the Synod general assembly on Saturday morning; it will then be voted on, paragraph by paragraph according to Synod general secretary Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, on Saturday afternoon.
