In those, the Pope believes the excessive media attention and public exposure of some participants diverted attention and damaged the atmosphere inside the synod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br><em>With the Synod on the Family, there was public opinion\u2014that came not from our worldliness\u2014to give communion to divorcees and that is how we started the synod. With the Amazon Synod, there was public opinion and pressure to make viri probati. We started with this pressure. Now, there are some hypotheses about this Synod\u2014but what are they going to do here: maybe female priesthood? I don't know, these things are said outside.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>For the first time, the rules of procedure of the assembly state that the participants are bound to secrecy, both of their own words and of the words of others. It is an unprecedented decision of Francis' pontificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Pope has been clear in his inaugural address to the Synod. He wants to the atmosphere in the assembly to be of prayer and fraternity as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br><em>It takes an asceticism\u2014I apologize to journalists for these words\u2014 but a certain fasting of the public word to guard this. And whatever is published, let it be in this environment.<\/em><br><em>Let us not forget, brothers and sisters, that the protagonist of the synod is not us. It is the Holy Spirit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This was explained by the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication. Pope Francis wants the participants to speak less with the press and more among themselves. For this reason, at this Synod, contact with the press and with the outside world will be much more limited than on other occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>JRB<br>TR: AT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this Synod, Pope Francis has asked the participants to be more discreet, saying he does not want a repetition of previous assemblies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":61384,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/886a7aFvxsg","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bordinesinodoeng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bordinesinodoint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61383"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61383"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61383\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61387,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61383\/revisions\/61387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
