US Bishop Robert Barron, who has a high profile on X, is currently giving a weekly commentary on the Synod in Rome, which he is attending.
In his most recent comment it is not unfair to say that listening to what he says one might easily be reminded of what the archbishop of Dublin John Charles McQuaid said on his return from the Vatican Council, that it would make no real changes to life in the Irish church: “No change will worry the tranquility of your christian lives."
Bishop Barron talks about how the architecture of the colonnade in St Peter’s Square reminds one of the idea of communion within the church. He says that’s ‘communio ecclesiology’. It would be helpful if the bishop could explain.
Listening to the bishop talk it is extremely easy to be distracted from what he is saying by the large ring he is wearing.
In his five minutes 30 seconds it’s difficult to know what actually is going on at the Synod.
Two Dominicans were named cardinals yesterday.
English man Dominican Radcliffe and Jean-Paul Vesco, archbishop of Alger, Algeria.
Timothy Radcliffe is a regular visitor to Ireland. In February he spoke in Haddington Road church on what was happening at the Synod.
