Plenary Matters S5 Ep 3: History making at the synod Plenary Matters

As the synod prepares its final documents to go out from Rome to the whole Church at the end of this week, the real work of the first assembly is only beginning. The Tablet correspondent Christopher Lamb, who covered the Plenary Council in Australia, tells Geraldine that this synod is history in the making despite some questioning its legitimacy.

This episode was recorded on the floor of the press room and filmed by a PBS documentary team. We are trying to resolve the audio issues on Geraldine's end, please bear with us!

Mentioned in this episode:


Christopher Lamb's Tablet article, 'At synod they wept, but have they truly changed?'
Archbishop Anthony Fisher's interview on the synod
Timothy Radcliffe's third reflection, 'Friendship'
Prof Ormond Rush's reflection on tradition at the General Congregation

You can also read Br Mark O'Connor's fourth letter from the synod, 'The meaning is in the waiting'.
