Auditors at the Synod of Bishops have spoken on topics ranging from the role of women to medical ethics and the persecution of Christians.
The auditors—whose talks were delivered on October 15 and 16, and made public on October 20—included:
* Agnes Offiong Erogunaye, a Nigerian woman who spoke on how many African women care for their households by themselves.
* Sister Maureen Kelleher, an American religious who asked Church leaders “to recognize how many women who feel called to be in service of the Kingdom of God but cannot find a place in our Church.
* Lucetta Scaraffia, an Italian history professor, who said: “Women are great experts in the family: leaving abstract theories behind, we can turn in particular to women to understand what must be done.”
