Synodality becomes the practice of the Church
Father Antonio Spadaro: "Today the Church is a place of great differences, and we are talking about a community that crosses spatial and cultural barriers"
A section of the Synod concluded a few days ago (which will end next year), a stage that was important for the Universal Church. Let's take stock with Father Antonio Spadaro, Jesuit and elected Undersecretary of the Vatican Dicastery for Culture and Education, former Director of the magazine "Civiltà Cattolica".
The final document talks about changes to the Code of Canon Law. Does it mean that synodality becomes a regular practice of the Church?

The final document talks about changes to the Code of Canon Law. Does it mean that synodality becomes a regular practice of the Church?
That's exactly how it is. Synodality is not the topic of a meeting, but represents the very form of the Church. A Church that is increasingly complex internally: if it once had references in the Pastors who were nevertheless formed and had a common mentality, and often also a common language - Latin or Italian - because many had studied in Rome , now instead the Church is a place of great differences, and we are talking about a community that crosses spatial and cultural barriers. The Church lives in the tightropes of the North and South of the world, in the tensions between conservatives and progressives, in contexts of wealth and poverty. It is necessary, therefore, for the Church to walk together. Ultimately, this is the image that has remained with me the most from the end of the Synod, the image of a large ship, a transatlantic I would say, capable of sailing the oceans, where everyone works so that it can move forward with all the differences. However, the greater the diversity, the greater the need to share the journey, to reflect together, to make common decisions, to listen. One of the things that, for example, characterized this Synod was not only the expression of each one, but also the listening that each one dedicated to the others and also within the group tables. So now I understand what Pope Francis told me for the first time in my interview for «La Civiltà Cattolica» in 2013: there he spoke to me about a more synodal Church. So we are talking about an idea that Francis had clear from the beginning of his pontificate, in August 2013. I fully understand his words only now. So the answer is yes, synodality must become the practice of the Church, also having suitable structures, suitable moments, necessary to be able to move forward.

Bird Names Being Changed Over 'Racist' Ties Sparks Backlash
Social media users are pushing back after the American Ornithological Society (AOS) announced it would rename dozens of North American birds named for people.
The AOS said on Wednesday that it would rename all bird species in its jurisdiction that were named for people regardless of the name's history. The announcement came after birdwatchers have debated bird names for years, specifically ones that commemorate historical figures who committed acts of racism. The decision comes as numerous organizations reexamine landmarks, statues and other objects named for controversial figures.

Obama: ‘All of Us Are Complicit to Some Degree’ in ‘Occupation,’ Hamas Terror
Obama told his former staffers on the Pod Save America Saturday that “all of us are complicit to some degree” in the violence in Gaza, as he appeared to describe a moral equivalence between Hamas murdering Israelis and the Israeli “occupation” of Gaza.
Gaza has not been “occupied” by Israel since 2005, when Israel withdrew all of its soldiers and civilians in a “disengagement” that aimed to reduce violence in the region. Hamas responded by launching thousands of rockets at Israel and starting several wars.

Exclusive — Daniel Cameron: ‘I’m the Law and Order Candidate. Andy Beshear Is the Catch and Release Candidate’
entucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is the “law and order” candidate in the state’s gubernatorial race, and Democrat incumbent Gov. Andy Beshear is the “catch and release candidate,” Cameron said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday in the midst of his bus tour ahead of the election.
Cameron, whom former President Donald Trump endorsed, briefly laid out the major differences between himself and Democrat incumbent Gov. Andy Beshear, who is backed by President Joe Biden.
“President Trump said a couple of days ago that Andy Beshear has been a complete disaster here in Kentucky,” Cameron said, explaining that Beshear has “openly endorsed Joe Biden for president” and has “shut down our schools and shut down our businesses [and] shut down our churches.”
