Pope Benedict XVI looks on as he attends a three-week meeting of the world's bishops at the Vatican Thursday, Oct. 6, 2005. More than 250 bishops, cardinals, heads of religious orders and others from about 118 countries will take part in the Synod of Bishops. (AP Photo/Plinio Lepri)

I hope his address was to smack down the homosexual priest supporters.

He doesn't look pleased, by that face.

This is great news. It means that the Holy Father is not going to let the synod get out of control as John XXIII and Paul VI did at Vatican II. He intends to preside in substance as well as in form. He is a shepherd that knows where he wants to lead the flock.

I hope his address was to smack down the homosexual priest supporters.According to Amy Welborn:
One synod participant told NCR that he suspects the pope intervened because the difference between the sacrificial and communal dimensions of the Eucharist was shaping up as a potential point of debate, and the pope wanted to steer the conversation away from what he sees as a false opposition.
But Amy was quoting John Allen quoting an unnamed synod participant...so who knows?

His thoughts on Eucharistic Adoration, formerly Benediction, should be of great interest. We have Eucharistic Adoration at my parish every week. When I came to this parish it was the first time I had a Benediction since grade school.

I hope it means in part he is ready to clear the decks of the Barque of Peter.

Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction, although connected, are two different things. In my church we have Perpetual Adoration set up in a separate chapel. Here parishioners come 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to pray before the our Eucharistic Lord exposed in a monstrance upon an altar. Being Perpetual Adoration there is never Benediction, i.e. a blessing with the Host. Once a week in the main church there is Rosary and Benediction at which the Benediction, or blessing, is given after an half-hour of adoration.

Thanks for some sanity. The MSM was hyperventilating over the report today. It just didn't make sense to me.

Well it's hard to know what is rumor and what is fact. I hope that Father Alphonse de Valk, from that article, is right.

We have Eucharistic Adoration every Tuesday starting after morning masses until concluded with a Benediction at 6:45 p.m. and a perpetual novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal thereafter.

"During coffee breaks, the Pope meets with the synod's working groups, which are divided by languages. In past days he spoke with members of the French-speaking groups, and today he spoke with the Spanish-speaking groups."
If they all spoke Latin, there wouldn't be any need to split up like that.

Again, this shows that the Holy Father is taking an active hand in the direction of the synod. Good news!
As for Latin, a common language would be good to bring all the bishops of the world together. More important still, we need to bring back the common theology that was taught when Latin reigned in the seminaries and universities.
