VATICAN CITY, 21 OCT 2008 (VIS) - During the Twentieth General Congregation of the Twelfth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, the unified list of propositions was presented. The list will be given to the Holy Father to consider as he is preparing the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation. The president delegate on duty was Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer, archbishop of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The Synod Fathers also participated in the second vote to elect members to the Ordinary Council of the General Secretariat of the Synod.
At the end of each ordinary general synodal assembly, the Ordinary Council of the General Secretariat is formed. The Council is comprised of 15 Members; 12 of whom are elected from the Synod, taking into account the representation of bishops throughout the world, and three designated by the Roman Pontiff.
The Bishops elected to the Council of the General Secretariat retain their office until the beginning of a new Ordinary General Assembly.
This afternoon the Synod Fathers will meet in language groups to prepare the collective amendments to the propositions.
