The Holy See in the Vatican presented on October 28, 2022, the synthesis report for the beginning of the continental stage of the synod. The following is a summary of L’Oservatore Romano. At the end of the article, you may download the full report. It is a useful tool, not only for the bishops and others who will meet by continent around the world but for an ongoing dialogue among all who are invested in the synod process, toward the renewal of the Church.
