The Irish report for the diocesan stage of the Synod on Synodality emphasized calls for changes to the Church's definitive teaching on a number of doctrinal and moral matters, while downplaying requests to restore authentic teaching and traditional liturgy.
(LifeSiteNews) – The Catholic Church in Ireland has called for the introduction of ordination of women and Communion for the divorced and “remarried,” according to the nationwide report for the diocesan stage of Pope Francis’ “Synod on Synodality".
The document also sidelined the express desire of Ireland’s young Catholics to maintain the traditional doctrine of the Church, despite 500 such faithful having signed a letter to the bishops in charge of Ireland’s synodal process voicing their concern that Ireland’s presentation to Rome would falsely represent the laity as seeking changes which stand “in conflict with current Church teaching and practice.”
LifeSiteNews Rome correspondent Louis Knuffke delivered a copy of the letter to relator general of the Synod on Synodality, Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, during a Friday interview.
Earlier this month, the Church in Ireland prepared its “Synthesis of the Consultation in Ireland for the Diocesan Stage of the Universal Synod,” gathering and presenting the diocesan synodal reports from across Ireland to Rome, where relator general Hollerich will coordinate the responses from around the world to be presented to the Holy Father in September.
The report includes conflicting views from among the laity on matters they believe the Church ought to stress regarding doctrine and moral teaching. However, concerns have been raised regarding emphases made within the report on controversial matters running contrary to tradition while playing down calls for the Church to remain faithful to the consistent moral ethic and liturgical tradition of the Church.
