Vatican publishes guidelines for the upcoming Synod of Bishops on the Eucharist

In a communique released today, the General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops announced the publication of the “Lineamenta” for its Eleventh Ordinary General Assembly. The gathering is to be held from October 2 to 29, 2005, and will be dedicated to the theme: “The Eucharist, source and culmination of the life and mission of the Church.”

The “Lineamenta” – in other words the document that aims to stimulate study, consultation and response from “all the living forces of the Church” – will soon be published on the Vatican’s internet site, under the link to the Synod of Bishops: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/synod/index.htm

The text consists of seven chapters, with a presentation by the Secretary General, an introduction concerning the Eucharist, and a brief conclusion, followed by a questionnaire and index.
