The Synod, the Pope and the Controversies - Why We Have Cause to Rejoice and Not to Fear

On the eve of the second session of the Synod on Synodality, the most important church event in Catholic life since the end of the Second Vatican Council in 1965, Michael W. Higgins, Vatican analyst, biographer and scholar, will identify the reasons why this Synod matters, why its ecumenical constitution is so innovative, and why we are on the cusp of a radical re-shaping of how we do things as a church.

Higgins, author of the recently published The Jesuit Disruptor—a Personal Portrait of Pope Francis, will be in Rome this October covering the Synod for Paulist Press of New York.
