Tag: Synod on Synodality

The synod’s General Secretariat noted how all the assemblies have marked a time of grace for the Church, reflecting a great desire for renewal

The assembly held back from crossing a line laid down by the Vatican concerning the establishing synodal councils

Bishop Georg Bätzing writes that the German bishops take the Vatican’s “concerns” about a German synodal council seriously

“Behind all the profiles, the clicks, the likes and the follows, are real persons,” said the priest

“The Church has to be at the center of producing hope… and not of despair and sadness”

“If this journeying together is to be meaningful, we need to learn how to let go of all that prevents us from being that synodal church"

Church leaders are warned against using the phrase “a synodal Church is a Church of listening” as a rhetorical phrase

The tensions come as the Catholic Church conducts a vast global consultation on its future, the "Synod on Synodality"

The bishops stress that the synodal process is not “the solution to the problems that the Church has” but “a gift of the Holy Spirit”

The cardinals said the Synod of Bishops is not meant “to address all the issues being debated in the Church”
