CWN Editor's Note: As the Synod of Bishops begins in Rome, “the greatest urgency, the truest reform is that of making Jesus our passion, our love, our everything,” Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino of Assisi-Nocera Umbra-Gualdo Tadino wrote in an October 4 letter.
The prelate, who is not a Synod participant, added that “the world, without knowing it, is awaiting a Church that proclaims and announces his holy name with new vigor.”

Now that's short, simple, and pure truth worth far more that the millions of words the synod will produce.

What the prelate is saying is that the Church must return to the path of the new evangelization started by Pope Benedict XVI. If one thing is clear in Francis' exhortations to secular audiences, it is that he is deathly afraid of proclaiming Christ crucified, yet triumphant. In fact, he is even afraid to proclaim Christ crucified to Catholic audiences. Instead, we are told that the Church must conform herself to the zeitgeist and every worldly fashion instead of being herself, and to excuse sin.
