I just finished filling out my diocese’s version of the Vatican Survey in preparation for the Synod on Marriage and the Family. All I can say is, “whew!” I am presuming that the basic set of questions are being used in diocese around the world, since some did not seem terribly relevant to my situation. It also seemed like some could only be answered by a diocesan official. More problematic, some of the questions were so technical or obscurely worded that I was left uncertain as to what was being asked. Also, the answers were almost all in narrative form, so I don’t know what kind of data will be able to be compiled from this.
I suppose it’s better than not being asked at all.
