| | Synod of Bishops for America |
| | The synod of bishops is a new institution. | | | To the American synod the pope appointed 21 members, of whom four were priests, including the general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the French-speaking general secretary of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. | | | Synods have fallen into the practice of issuing a pastoral "message to the people of God," while at the same time making a series of recommendations to the pope who later writes a post-synodal apostolic exhortation using their suggestions. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Homiletics |
| | 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. | | | 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). | | | 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. |

| | The Church in which we are bishops is the pilgrim Church on earth. | | | 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 lives his life everywhere, under the gaze of the Lord who embraces the Cross, and so his holiness entails two passionate loves: a passionate love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a passionate love for the people in need of salvation. |

| | 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. | | | A bishop must be a guide, a spiritual leader, who indicates the path to be trodden with words and with witness. | | | The bishop must be close to his priests, he must be a father thateducates, encourages, guides and corrects them, but he must also be an older brother and a friend. |

| | Therefore, the Synod is important as an expression and instrument of communion among the bishops and with the Bishop of Rome, the successor of Peter. | | | In ordinary general assemblies of the Synod of Bishops, bishops come from around the globe to celebrate their communion through prayer and through discussion on matters of pastoral importance for the Church. | | | Bishops' Conferences and individual bishops have spoken on life-issues; they have made submissions to governments and have striven to propagate the Church's teaching in the media. |

| | Bishops Synod on the Eucharist October 13, 2005 |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | On the priest shortage, for example, several bishops have talked about the theological and spiritual logic for mandatory celibacy in the Western church, with one defining celibacy as the church& “most precious jewel,” and others arguing that the problem underlying priest shortages is not celibacy but a broader “crisis of faith.” |
