The Synod of Bishop on the family held in 2015 produced a final report entitled: The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and in the contemporary World. This paper would carefully read this report using critical lens. This paper is divided into two major parts: 1) appreciation on the merits of the text on its unique contribution to the methology of listening, not teaching and contextuality, not universality; 2) suspicion on the content of the text by interrogating its framework using critical lens in reading the text.
