The synod on synodality ushered in a vision and an exercise leading to a dramatic re-centering of the Catholic Church. What is the “through line” connecting the magisterium of Pope Francis to the renaissance in Christian life created by the charism of St Francis of Assisi? Eight centuries separate the two. Are we guilty of magical thinking when we try to connect their remarkable impact?
Sr Margaret Carney is a member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Neumann Communities. She received her degrees in Franciscan studies from the Franciscan Institute at St Bonaventure University and the Antonianum in Rome. The focus of her doctoral work was the Rule of St Clare.
All are welcome.
