This fall, dozens of Roman Catholic bishops from around the world are gathering to discuss pastoral challenges facing families. The Vatican asked for input from church leaders and lay people. They gathered that into a working document — released late last week — that lays the framework for what the bishops will discuss during October’s synod. We discuss that document, what it means for the Catholic church and what it tells us about Pope Francis. Photo: Flickr/Rubber Dragon
