Synodality – Have Your Say! Closing date Pentecost Sunday May 23rd…

The Irish Bishops are inviting submissions on the Synodality Pathway.

It’s an important opportunity and even though many may feel we’ve been here before, Jesuit Gerry O’Hanlon spoke on Faith Alive on Midwest Radio about why this time it’s different. And it’s different because Pope Francis is committed to a synodal church, one that truly welcomes and embraces the gifts, talents, experiences and leadership abilities of all the baptised.
It starts by posing the question ‘What does God want from the Church in Ireland at this time?’
Submissions can be made on www.catholicbishops.ie/synod and must be in by Pentecost Sunday- May 23rd 2021.

Nathan Chase has posted an article in praytellblog.com commenting on a recent circular letter, dealing with the “sign of peace” at Mass, from The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
In light of the many crises facing the church would it be fair to apply the old cliche about deck chairs being moved on the Titanic to this circular letter?

Updated with a link to an interview of Tony Flannery by Monica Morley on Mid West Radio’s Faith Alive programme.

Tony Flannery posted a very interesting start of the year reflection on his personal blog.
It is nothing less than scandalous that Tony still is “withdrawn” from ministry and that this situation is allowed to continue by those in authority.
“I am inclined to believe that if there is to be any change in my situation it will happen this year. If not, then I will have to accept that things will remain as they are for whatever amount of life I have left. I can cope, I think, with not ministering as a priest any more. At my age I wouldn’t be doing much anyway. But living within an institution that acts in such a cavalier and unjust fashion, and is quite happy to sit with that injustice and do nothing about it, will be the difficult part.”
