ROME - Pope Francis has decided the next general assembly of the Synod of Bishops will be held in the fall of 2022, but he has not announced the theme for the gathering, the Vatican said. Meeting with the pope Feb. 6-7, members of the ordinary council of the Synod of Bishops formally presented the pope with three possible themes and discussed the work accomplished by the council after the synod on young people in 2018, the Vatican said Feb. 15. The Vatican statement did not list the three possible themes, although in his closing speech to the Synod of Bishops for the Amazon in October, Pope Francis had said “synodality” was among the three themes “voted on and that obtained a majority” of support from synod members. https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2020/02/pope-bishops-discuss-possible-themes-for-2022-synod/
