The Tangent on Veritas Catholic Network

What is the Synod on Synodality? Can the Synod Change Doctrine? Should We Be Hopeful? ...And other Questions (w/ Dr. Chris Altieri)

Our First Repeat Guest, Dr. Chris Altieri of Catholic World Report. 
Today we cover much ground, seeking clarity in confusion. We ask the following questions: What is the Synod on Synodality? Is there a reason to be hopeful in the Synod's outcome? Can the Synod change doctrine? Why does the Vatican hate (or love?) Crayola? 
Be sure to rate and review the Podcast. Please share this with someone who might be confused about the Synod on Synodality. Jesus Christ is Lord!
