Al-Rahi Attends Vatican Synod on Family
Written by Najib

 

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi attended at the Vatican on Sunday a landmark two-week synod of bishops on the family.

Pope Francis opened the synod of bishops from around the world, which will review Church teaching on the family and marriage.

The bishops and a small number of lay figures will spend the next two weeks addressing the gulf between what the Church says about issues such as divorce and cohabitation and what many followers actually do.
