Dr. Miguel Romero, an assistant professor in the Department of Religious and Theological Studies, was recently highlighted in a story in Rhode Island Catholic, the newspaper of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence.

Pope Francis has recently invoked a global synod — which is officially titled “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission” but is known colloquially as the “Synod on Synodality” — to discuss ways to broaden participation in the Catholic Church.

Dr. Romero will be part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence’s local committee. Each committee’s feedback will culminate with the meeting of the Synod of Bishops at the Vatican in 2023.

“It’s an honor to be asked to think with the diocese about the questions being put before us and there’s definitely work to be done, not only amongst ourselves on the committee, but among the full diocese,” said Romero, who is eager to bring his experience as a member of the board of directors of the National Catholic Partnership on Disability to the discussion table.

“Part of our mission as an organization is to support the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ teachings about the role of disabled persons in the life of the church, but especially towards their full and meaningful participation. That’s one of the things I’m most excited about.”
