“I would like to remind you that the next assembly of the synod of bishops is titled ‘the pastoral challenges of the family in the context of evangelization.’ So the synod will deal with the family in its various aspects – not with a single issue,” the cardinal said in a May 20 email interview with CNA. “In my view, a good service for people would be that of giving each issue regarding the family the same ‘space’ for discussion.” The year leading up to the Oct. 5-19 synod on the family has been marked by media speculation that it will be dedicated to discovering a “pastoral solution” allowing for the admittance of persons who are divorced and civilly remarried, while their spouse is still living, to Communion, while also preserving Catholic teaching about the indissolubility of marriage.
