endorse any changes to church doctrine on the church's teaching about homosexuality or whether civilly remarried Catholics can receive Communion. And yet, it seems, everything has changed. From the crucial role African bishops have played in the debate, to calls to remove "intrinsically disordered" from the church's language on gays, to the freedom bishops now enjoy to speak their minds on once-taboo issues, Francis' synod on the family has at the very least shaken up the church for years to…

Churchgoers Attending church has been a routine event for many Americans since the inception of the nation. It can be the only chance some Americans get to settle down and fellowship with friends and family after a long week of work.
