Synods and synods

The World Synod of Bishops has ended. They've come up with some interesting proposals, although they tried to link every issue to the Eucharist (ie polygamy and the Eucharist).

Now a new synod has started and runs through through Saturday, specifically for the Chaldean Catholic Church. I will be held at the Vatican. There was another Chaldean synod held earlier this year in Baghdad.

Some big issues are:

The big influx of evengelicals trying to "Christianize" them. I mean, come on, aren't there plenty of Muslims to target?
The exodus from their homeland due to the war.
De-latinizing their liturgy, although some like it just the way it is.

So let's all them in our thoughts, and hope for the best for this Church.
