about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

Who Consults on Family?
The president-emeritus of Ireland speaks out on the upcoming synod on the family:
I see her point. “Bonkers” is strong, but I see the point.
I wouldn’t be as strict with the necessary credentials for the October meeting. But I would turn away at the door any cardinal who hasn’t prepared a couple for marriage, who hasn’t counseled a marriage in trouble, who hasn’t worked with couples preparing for a child’s baptism, or some similar sacramental encounter. A letter of reference from a non-relative would be absolutely essential.
That would seem about right to me.
And when they consult on priestly life and ministry, likewise, some parallel endorsements from the other side of the thin black line.
