At the ongoing Synod of Bishops, participants are bringing the concerns of the powerless and persecuted from their respective countries to the whole world. In his report on the continent for North and South America, Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga considered whether better Scriptural formation could have prevented political corruption among public servants who attended Catholic institutions.

"All of us our concerned on this problem. Poverty is not only ther property of Latin America, but the whole world, unfortunately. And it's necessary to take this because in the word of God you find clearly that God has a preferential option for the poor."

Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun has long advocated on behalf of the underground Church in China, where clergy have faced restrictions on ministry and sometimes prosecution. Beijing and the Vatican did not reach an agreement to allow mainland Chinese Bishops to attend the Synod.

“We are having a Synod with a topic, which is the Bible. So I think everybody knows what are our desires for religious freedom, but I think that the absence of Bishops from mainland China speaks by itself. So everyone must be praying for freedom, religious freedom in China. But I'm going to talkabout something which is even more fundamental, about listening to the voice of conscience. I think that that may also be an important topic for for China, for the people of China.”
