What may be the most important meeting for the Catholic Church in more than a half-century began Wednesday, as bishops and other leaders of the Church convened in the Vatican under a cloud of controversy for the Synod on Synodality.
The synod already broke revolutionary ground when the Vatican and Pope Francis announced that a portion of the voting members of the synod would be women and non-clergy, a first in the history of the Church. The five cardinals who signed the letter are Raymond Burke of the United States, Robert Sarah of Guinea, Joseph Zen, a Hong Kong native who was arrested by the Chinese Communist Party, Mexican cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniquez, and the German Walter Brandmuller.
"When a blessing is requested, it is expressing a plea to God for help, a supplication to live better, a trust in a Father who can help us live better," the pope wrote.
