It is now widely recognized throughout the Catholic Church, especially in western countries, that there is a severe contraction in availability of and access to the celebration of the Eucharist, “the Source and Summit of the Christian life” (Lumen Gentium, 11). You may know of particular circumstances where the Eucharist is not regularly available, and where particular solutions are evident if the bishops would take advantage of Francis’s willingness to act. Perhaps your solution is optional celibacy for priests, ordaining women, supporting Basic Christian Communities, addressing an unjust caste system, or any number of other situations. We welcome your suggestions here. Our intent is to have this discussion reach Pope Francis and the Bishops who will be attending the Synod.
