The Carlo Maria Martini Foundation offers a specific section on the synodal dynamic with contributions from this important Pastor of the Italian Church.
Our Italian-speaking followers will appreciate the possibility not only to download the texts but also to listen to them in the Cardinal’s own voice.
A Jesuit, a biblical scholar and exegete, a man of great culture and dialogue between religions, an advocate of the Chair of non-believers, President of the CCEE (1986-1993), he convened the 47th diocesan synod in Milan in 1993.
His speeches from that period,’ states a note from the foundation, ’are extremely topical and can provide valid points for meditation and study even today, for the path that the Church is following. His words help us mature inner attitudes that are indispensable for the synodal dynamic to be ‘grafted’ into all aspects of the Church’s community and organisational life.
