From the 17th to the 20th March, synod organisers are meeting in Bogotá, Colombia, to draft a synthesis of the Continental Stage of the synod in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Vatican News’ Fr. Johan Pacheco is in Bogotá for the meeting, and spoke with Fr Ricardo González, a member of the drafting committee, about its work.The process of putting together the document, Fr González explained, was carried out by a group of twelve individuals, “priests and laypeople, women and men”, chosen by the bishops of Latin America to “help in pastoral and theological reflection”.
Contributions from marginalised groups – indigenous Amazonian peoples and Latin Americans of African descent – were also added to the mix. This process of discernment and drafting, he added, was “a very enriching experience of living together as brothers and sisters, of listening to each other despite the differences in our vocations and ministries, all of us as members of a 'Church of the people'”.Fr González stressed, moreover, that the process of drafting the document was not about producing new material, but rather accurately summarising the voices of the faithful who had been consulted in earlier stages.
