Shared Church governance emerges as theme in synod Photo by Jennifer Del Vechio Del Jennifer Photo by VATICAN CITY (CNS)—A week into a meeting of the world’s bishops, the issue of shared Church governance emerged as the dominant theme, with nearly two dozen bishops advocating more decision-making power at local levels. But the strongest applause followed a speech by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the Vatican’s doctrinal head, who said Catholics today spend too much time talking about the Church and not enough about Jesus. Another theme taking shape in the Sept. 30-Oct. 27 synod on the bishop’s role in the Church was the need for Church leaders to be prophets of social justice. Several bishops cited the international embargo of Iraq, the situation of Palestinians and extreme poverty as injus- tices at the root of Sept. 11 terrorist A growing number of youth from across the archdiocese are taking part in pro-life activities.

It also found that couples whose parents had never divorced reported debt the newlyweds brought into marriage—especially college debt—as a top issue.

Who do you trust with your heart?

Heart disease can be complicated by other serious health problems. It’s often necessary to treat more than the cardiovascular system. Which means the cardiovascular facility you select should also offer more.

The IU School of Medicine and its world-renowned Krannert Institute of Cardiology have aligned with the clinical leadership of Methodist Heart Institute to form The Clarian Cardiovascular Center. This is the core, but only the beginning of care.

The Clarian Cardiovascular Center offers comprehensive care in a full service hospital environment – “a heart hospital within a hospital.” Patients here have immediate access to medical care from a complete group of specialists who are down the hall – not across town, or even further.

Now, there are choices all around you. And complicated medical conditions add To access the physicians and resources of The Clarian Cardiovascular weight to the question: who do you trust with your heart? The answer is here.
