After the major International Congress, organized by the Pontifical Council for the Family (towards the end of last January), which gathered representatives of the foremost International Family Movements and Associations (more than eighty entities were represented) to reflect on the Lineamenta of the Synod in 2015, the Dicastery has collected their contributions and put them into a summary (prepared in coordination with the Undersecretary and some Officials for various languages), grouping them according to ten recurring themes. They have now been presented as a qualified and highly representative contribution to the Secretariat of the Synod, which will prepare the Working Paper for next October‘s Synod. In the course of the next few weeks, we will offer more passages from the individual contributions.
