The synod turns sexy; statistics in a global war
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/synod-turns-sexy-statistics-global-war

I've covered eight synods, and while they've all been useful sounding
boards, none has ever really taken the world by storm. Generally,
they're insider stories, covered by specialists and ignored by pretty
much everyone else. Yet on Wednesday, I actually found myself on CNN
using the terms lineamenta and instrumentum laboris, bits of
vocabulary concerning a synod I would have sworn would never come out
of my mouth on commercial television...
