CWN Editor's Note: In an op-ed column appearing in the Wall Street Journal, Father Gerald Murray writes that the Synod on Synodality has been stripped of its power by a series of papal decisions leaving key issues in the hands of separate “expert” panels.
When the Synod meets in October, Father Murray remarks, they will approve a final document, but it “won’t be the synod’s final word.” He concludes that “the Synod of Bishops is a shell of its former self.”
