Kresta in the Afternoon – October 6, 2023 – Hour 1
Matthew Bunson breaks down a busy week in Rome, including the Synod, dubia responses, and the new Apostolic exhortation on the environment.
Dubias, the Start of the Synod, and an Apostolic exhortation – unpacking a busy week in Rome
There’s been no shortage of Church news this week. We kicked off the week learning that Pope Francis had responded to two lists of dubias from bishops around the world. And on Wednesday the pope published his Apostolic exhortation Laudate deum, the follow up to Laudato si. All of this is happening as the Synod on Synodality officially begins. Matthew Bunson joins us to unpack it all.
