And don't worry -- there has been enough time for some gelato!
CTEWC members from Ghana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Italy, Australia, and the U.S. were involved in the Synod on Synodality, and members currently consult on theological projects with Mons. Tighe in culture and education.
Our day two meetings were full of potential for collaboration and engagement! We started with Card. Grech, the Secretary General of the Synod, and continued with friends of CTEWC, Cardinal José Tolentino, prefect, and Paul Tighe of the Dicastery for Culture and Education.
Dicastery for Evangelization**
Our first two meetings included time with Card. Luis Antonio Tagle and the Dicastery for Education as well as Dott. Paolo Ruffini, representatives from Vatican News, and the Dicastery for Communication.
This week, the Planning Committee is in Rome, Italy to meet with heads of Vatican dicasteries, local university leaders, and other Church offices to identify ways to collaborate with the 600 ethicists and moral theologians and counting in our global network of over 80 countries across five regions.
