Picking one's way through the Synod aftermath

The diversity of perspectives is staggering:

• Edward Pentin, "Priestly Confraternity Grateful to Synod for Affirming Church Teaching" (National Catholic Register, November 4, 2015)
• Sandro Magister, "Synod of Discord. Toward a “De Facto Schism” in the Church?" (www.chiesa, November 4, 2015): "Dominican theologian Thomas Michelet lays bare the ambiguities of the synodal text. Which has not brought unity but has papered over the divisions. The conflict between 'hermeneutic of continuity' and 'hermeneutic of rupture.' The dilemma for Francis"
• James Martin, S.J. "Top Five Accomplishments of the Synod on the Family" (American Media, October 28, 2015)
• Dr. Janet E. Smith, "What Comes After the Synod" (First Things, November 5, 2015)

• "Remarried divorcees 'must be celibate'" (The Tablet, February 20, 1999)
