	Synod of Bishops for America
		The synod of bishops is a new institution.
		The synod of bishops was instituted by Paul VI and Vatican II as a means of continuing collegiality after the council.
		In the last week of the synod, the recommendations from the small groups are consolidated by a drafting commission that is headed by the president and includes the synod relator, secretary, group relators, and assistants whom the president might appoint.

	Summary 5 - 8 October - Synod of Bishops 2001 - Australian Catholic Bishops Conference
		During the first centuries for the ordination of a bishop, the vote of the bishops of the ecclesiastic province was decisive, as an expression of episcopal collegiality.
		Dialogue is important; it is important that the bishop be accompanied in carrying out decisions and he must know how to listen, but he must be the one to decide, and must decide according to his conscience, in full truth and liberty before God and not based on the numeric weight of his councilors.
		In their ministry of teaching, the bishops are called to urge priests to announce eternal life, using in a delicate and courageous way the event of death and the pastoral occasion of Christian funerals.

	synod of bishops
		More than 30 bishops took the microphone in the first two general sessions of the Sept. 30-Oct. 27 synod, which was focused on the bishop's role in the church.
		Some bishops underestimated the crisis and others falsely supposed their duty was merely to moderate between opposed positions, he said.
		Cardinal Meisner said bishops were called not only to ``witness, nourish and protect the faith, but also to judge it, discipline it and impose it in its correct form'' in union with the pope.

	Bishops Synod on the Eucharist October 13, 2005
		Bishops from the Eastern rite churches have warned of practical problems a married priesthood can create, such as the difficulties of supporting a priest with a wife and children, or of moving him to a new parish assignment when his family has already put down roots.
		Instead, the bishops seem eager to be more generous in applying existing rules, which allow Catholic priests to administer Communion to non-Catholics when there is no service in their own rite available, when they request the sacrament, and when they share the faith of the Catholic church about the Eucharist.
		In other business, two developments on the margins of the Synod of Bishops yesterday suggest that the always-tense situation of the Catholic church in China, long divided into an official church with an ambiguous relationship with Rome and an underground church loyal to the pope but harassed by the government, is on the mend.

	MESSAGE OF THE SYNOD OF BISHOPS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The bishop is the father and the brother of the poor.
		During this Synod we were renewed in our own ministry of proclaiming to all God's plan of salvation, extolling his mercy, sharing it through the sacraments of new life and teaching his law of love by bearing witness to his presence "always and until the end of time" (Mt 28:20).
		The bishops, for their part, wish to promote the first task of lay people, which is to bear witness to the Gospel in the world.

		In fact, the Bishop, in communion with the Apostolic College and with the Successor of Peter, have the duty of protecting the faithful from any kind of temptation, showing through the sincere return to the Gospel of Christ the true solution to the complex problems that burden humanity.
		The service the Bishops are called to render to their flock, will be the source of hope in the measure that they mirror an ecclesiology of communion and of mission.
		I wanted to have their representatives at this Synodal Assembly, also to reflect on this topic, which is new in the Church, since it originates in a resolution of the Vatican Council II, for the good of the particular Churches.

		It has also been stated that the bishop is the first catechist in his particular church and that, consequently, he also has the duty to prepare valid collaborators, promoting and taking care of the doctrinal formation of his seminarians and priests, of his catechists, of the religious men and women and of the lay faithful.
		The bishop's fidelity to the Gospel and his love for the spirit of poverty lead him to a special option in favour of the poor who are at the central core of the Good News of Jesus.
		The Bishop who proclaims the Gospel as the hope of the world is the one who proclaims the victory of life over death and in the light of the Risen One repeats the "credo vitam aeternam": it is the article which concludes the Creed.

		In a certain sense, the synod movement might also serve as a means of bringing about peace--one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit--, a peace which is characteristic of both the region and its peoples' manner of living as well as of resolving difficulties.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Homiletics
		Bishops commonly preached outside their own dioceses, especially in the great cities; polished sermons were evidently in demand, and a stipend was given, for we read that two Asiatic bishops, Antiochus and Severianus, went to Constantinople to preach, being more desirous of money than of the spiritual welfare of their hearers (Thomassin, ibid., ix, 504).
		But still preaching was regarded as the chief duty of bishops; for instance, Cæsarius, Bishop of Arles, gave charge of all the temporal affairs of his diocese to deacons, that he might devote all his time to the reading of the Scriptures, to prayer, and to preaching.
		At the Council of Arles, in 813, bishops were strongly exhorted to preach; and the Council of Mainz, in the same year, laid down that bishops should preach on Sundays and feast days either themselves (suo marte) or though their vicars.

		On Oct. 22 the synod handed the pope a list of 50 propositions, or final recommendations, which acknowledged a priest shortage in some parts of the world but said eliminating priestly celibacy and ordaining married men were not the solution.
		The synod's propositions echoed that statement, but suggested that some margin of flexibility might be found in further study of church law on the conditions for annulments.
		The status of divorced and remarried Catholics was one of several sensitive pastoral issues raised by bishops on the synod floor, leading some to expect the synod to call for revision of church policies.
