The Synod Rhythm

Centre for Catholic Studies Podcast

In Episode 3 of the Church's Radical Reform, Christopher Lamb speaks to Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, the Archbishop of Tegucigalpa, Honduras and a member of Pope Francis' council of cardinal advisers. The Church in Latin and Central America has been at the forefront of reform in Catholicism and Cardinal Oscar explains how the synodal process is something “totally new”. He discusses how synodal reforms are being implemented, while also talking about Pope Francis’ plans to reform the Vatican. A keen saxophonist and musician, he says the Church must aim to create a symphony out of a cacophony of different voices. The series is presented by Christopher Lamb. Christopher is the Rome Correspondent for The Tablet and is a doctoral researcher in synodality at the Centre for Catholic Studies, Durham University. The series is supported by the Centre for Catholic Studies at Durham University in partnership with The Tablet. Producers: Silvia Sacco and Jamie Weston
