The Synod of Bishops for the Amazon is not a “referendum” on priestly celibacy; it is looking for ways to provide for the sacramental life and formation of the people there, U.S. Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley of Boston said.

Catholic bishops from around the U.S. were quick to condemn the April 27 attack on a Jewish community gathered at a synagogue near San Diego, which left one person dead and three others injured.
Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston, a close adviser to Pope Francis, has said that economic autonomy is a healthy thing when it’s placed at the service of the common good, but it’s dangerous if it suggests the lack of any moral limits or any sense of responsibility.
