An easy-to-complete survey on family life has been produced in the United States as an alternative to an unwieldy official Vatican survey.
The surveys come ahead of October’s synod on the family.
The concise survey has been produced by Strong Catholic Families, a group made up of four organisations which minister to families and youth.
Its results will not form part of the official feedback to the Vatican.
But they will be published at the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress on March 14.
Responses to the Strong Catholic Families survey will be used in the initiative’s future presentations, resource materials and discussions with Church leaders in the United States.
On its first day, the survey had 400 responses.
