The Synod of Middle-Eastern Catholic Bishops that gathered in Rome completed its work on October 23, and the results of their deliberations were both hopeful and tragic.
The Bishops presented to Pope Benedict 41 proposals for action, and though Synodal proposals are usually not made public, Pope Benedict chose to make them public. No dount a sign of his concern that the world be made aware of their plight.
Here is a summary offered at the end of the Synod - well worth the read.
May the Lord grant strength and hope and valor to our brothers and sisters who bear the light of the Gospel in the Middle East.
