\”It’s going to be a bonanza for H&R Block, and a disaster for people who were supposed to be helped the most by the ACA,\”

\”Repeal and replace\” has been the rallying cry for Republicans since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in 2010. But now that most of the law’s provisions have taken effect, some health experts are pitching ways to improve it, rather than eliminate it.

The Diocese of Camden’s Faith and Family Life Formation Office is currently organizing a series of conversations and pastoral discussions to be held at a number of local parishes throughout the diocese.

The gatherings are part of the worldwide preparation for the world Synod of Bishops to be held Oct. 4-25 at the Vatican.

The Synod will focus with the theme, \”The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and Contemporary World.\” It follows the extraordinary synod on the family in October 2014, which Pope Francis said was designed to present an overview of the situation of families and the primary concerns for the church\’s pastoral care of families.
