Almost two year ago, Jenny Nutzman, a podcast listener all the way from Texas, randomly reached out to me. We had several phone calls about the wonderful work she was, and still is, doing at her parish to share the Church’s social teaching with her community.
Paul, this San Antonio initiative looks very good. Thanks for the involvement. .I've been wondering if you, Mike and Dominic have some thoughts on the capacity of U.S. Catholics to be a synodal church. My impression is that we are far too reluctant to discuss anything at length. I've been thinking it is because we have such variety in our formations that we lack a common language. Also there is a presupposition that Catholics all believe the same thinng so no one wants to say out loud that they do not believe it. We have not been free to speak honestly. What do you think about the chances for synodality among us?
