I certainly applaud the Diocese of San Diego for taking the time to study family life today.


But I wonder, will there also be a Synod looking at issues of those adult Catholics who are NOT MARRIED, who will never marry.  Or perhaps, taking a look at widows and widowers who will not re-marry---but who are active [not in nursing homes]?  This is a group of people who just fall through the cracks where Catholicism is concerned.  Not all adult Catholics are either married [or divorced] or priests/religious.  There are a good number out there who are NOT MARRIED, who DON'T have Families, and who never will.  What is there for them?
