The Holy See Press Office releases the 'Instrumentum Laboris', the text that will guide the work of the second session of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod in October. Among the focuses of the document are the need for transparency and accountability, and the role of women in the Church for the upcoming session of the Synod of Bishops, which will take place from October 2 to 27.

The introduction recalls the journey traveled so far and highlights the milestones already reached, such as the widespread use of the synodal methodology of the Spiritual Conversation. The suggestions also concern consecrated women. It stressed the need for “greater recognition and support" for their life and charisms, along with"their employment in positions of responsibility."As for the admission of women to the diaconal ministry, the IL reports that it is requested by"some local Churches," while others"reiterate their opposition" .

From local Churches, the voice of young people also emerges, who request a Church not of structures, nor of bureaucracy, but founded on relationships that are lived and animated by dynamics and paths. The working document emphasizes that today"the demand for transparency and accountability in and by the Church has come about as a result of the loss of credibility due to financial scandals and, even more so, sexual abuse and other abuses of minors and vulnerable persons. The lack of transparency and accountability fuels clericalism". .
