VATICAN CITY — The world Synod of Bishops on the Bible , which starts with Mass Sunday, will involve some 400 people, if you count members, experts, observers and support staff.

Art from The Saint John’s Bible , a newly hand-copied and hand-illuminated version of the Scriptures, was chosen to adorn the separate booklets for the Masses and prayer services that will be celebrated during the Oct. 5-26 synod.
In addition, a portion of the Bible and six illustrations from it will be on display in the atrium of the Vatican’s synod hall for the next three weeks.
The Bible was commissioned by the Benedictine monks of St. John’s Abbey and by St. John’s University in Collegevil...

A funny thing about reading the Bible: you often find things you did not notice the first 20 or 30 times you read or heard the passage.
My most recent trip back to the Bible, to the beginning of the Bible, was prompted by reading the new document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission , “The Bible and Morality.” Basically, it says that God told Adam and Eve to be strict vegetarians — vegans , in fact – and that it was only after the Great Flood that God told N... more

Since 2001, Father Patrick Desbois and his team of researchers and ballistic experts have found 800 out of an estimated 2,000 mass graves in Ukraine.
His story was so compelling that when Father Desbois came to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, CNS had to tell ... more
Many Catholics in the pews don’t realize the significance of next month’s world Synod of Bishops in Rome on the Bible. We’ve been giving it extra attention this summer and fall with numerous articles and a new section of our Web site devoted to the synod .
For instance, you can read Rome bureau chief John Thavis’ examination of why Pope Benedict thinks attention to the Bible is “an area he has long considered crucial and in need of revitalization.” ... more
