Maria Cimperman RSCJ chosen to attend Synod on Synodality in October 2023

July 10, 2023

Maria Cimperman, RSCJ

Maria Cimperman, RSCJ, author of Religious Life for our World: Creating Communities of Hope, an ethicist and professor at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, and the founder of the Center for the Study of Consecrated Life, has been invited to attend the Synod on Synodality in October 2023 in Rome as a non-voting expert. She will be one of only two non-voting experts from the United States, one of 57 worldwide.

For more about the Synod on Synodality and those attending, see the following excerpts (not in order), taken from “Every American going to the Synod on Synodality: Full list and analysis” by Michael J. O’Loughlin, published in America: The Jesuit Review.

When church leaders gather in Rome in October for a weeks-long series of conversations, prayer and discernment, taking part in the Synod on Synodality, U.S. Catholics will be represented by as many as 20 bishops, priests, sisters and lay people, the Vatican announced Friday.

Two non-voting experts from the United States, David McCallum S.J., who runs a leadership training program in Rome, and Maria Cimperman, R.S.C.J., an ethicist and professor at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago who founded the Center for Consecrated Life in 2014, will also attend.

The slate of American representatives is a combination of those elected by the full body of U.S. bishops plus a handful of delegates selected by Pope Francis. The delegates are emblematic of the at-times competing ideological poles of U.S. Catholicism—and the continued effort by Francis to reorient U.S. bishops toward his vision for the church.
