Maltese cardinal “over the rainbow” for synodality

Cardinal Mario Grech, the Secretary General of the Vatican’s Synod of Bishops, used an interview with a Swiss newspaper last week to lay out a vision for the Church. He believes synodality can help the Church move from “uniformity of thought” to “unity in difference,” while reshaping the exercise of authority within global Catholicism. “I always imagine the Church as a rainbow, with the colors that are not excluded but, together, create harmony.”
