Synod of Bishops - Questionnaire

8/2/2015

1 Comment

 
Later this year, the bishops of the world will meet with the Holy Father in Rome to consider the challenges facing the family in the world today. In preparation for the meeting (of the Synod of Bishops), the Holy See has asked for the views and experiences of Catholics all over the world to be considered. These responses will assist those who gather in Rome in October to respond better to the difficulties which ordinary Catholics experience in living out the Church's teaching in the area of family life.

The following questionnaire has been compiled to summarise the discussion areas covered in the Vatican's preparatory document.

1. To which parish do you belong:

2. In which capacity(ies) are you completing this survey?

Lay person, Parent, Grandparent, Priest, Deacon, Parish volunteer, Professed Religious, Teacher/ Headteacher, Pastoral Assistant, Catechist, Lay Chaplain, Theologian, Church employee, Member of Lay Association or Movement (please give details below), Marriage Preparation Facilitator, Other (please give details below)

3. Is this a group response? If yes, please indicate the number of people involved in the conversation.

4. What is your marital status?

Married,Single, Engaged, Widowed, Separated, Divorced, Divorced and re-married, Cohabitee, Other (please state below)

5. How old are you?

6. What are your joys and hopes of marriage and family life today?

7. What are your struggles and fears of marriage and family life today?

8. How can we better understand marriage as a vocation?

9. How does your marriage enrich you?

10. How does your family life enrich those around you?

11. In what way, through the abiding presence of God, is your family “salt of the earth and light to the world,” and a place of and for handing on our faith?

12. Do you have any other comments?

If you wish, please enter your name and an email address, so that we may update you with our preparations for the Synod.

Far too bland. Obviously designed to avoid answers the Church doesn't want to receive. Even worse than original Vatican doc. Could be said that the Vatican Prep document is very insulting to the laity.
