On Monday morning, immediately after the presentation of the Relatio post disceptationem, there was another period of free discussion between the Synod Fathers at the Extraordinary Synod on the Family. At the XI Congregation the document received unanimous praise during the "consequent discussion," for having accurately recorded the actions that have taken place in the past days in the aula.
However, in view of the work that is awaiting next week’s Working Groups, some members of the Assembly wanted to make some clarifications that may help them in their in-depth study. For example, it was said, that "while the Church must welcome those in difficulty, it would be useful to speak more widely about those families who remain faithful to the teachings of the Gospel, thanking them and encouraging them for the witness they offer. From the Synod it emerged more clearly that indissoluble, happy and forever faithful marriage, is beautiful, possible and present in society, therefore avoiding a near-exclusive focus on imperfect family situations."
