\"synod\"<\/a>Much has been written about the Synod taking place in Rome in recent days, with daily developments making for interesting reading, to say the least. In what appears to be somewhat of a soap opera (as John Allen<\/a> puts it), the Pope and bishops certainly have the world talking. Deacon William Ditewig<\/a> reminds us, however, that there are many similarities to the way in which Vatican II was reported and perceived.<\/p>\n

For instance, he writes, \u201cmany countries held daily press briefings, in addition to the official Vatican briefings. \u00a0For the United States, these were often held at the Pontifical North American College. \u00a0Other countries held frequent press briefings, just not on a daily basis. \u00a0Frequently these \u2018pressers\u2019 contained information that was at odds with the official press offering, or they provided additional details.\u201d<\/p>\n
