Press conference to present the"working instrument" on the Synod on synodality, at the Holy See Press Office, June 20, 2023. Decision-making methods, the place of women, migrants, homosexuals, cultural traditions, climate change, priestly formation. Rarely has a document from Rome covered so many themes in such an open manner.
Through a series of questions addressed to the participants of the Synod on Synodality, which Pope Francis launched in October 2021 and which has already led to consultation with Catholics worldwide, the authors of the new document outline the future of what they call a “synodal Church”, one that is more attuned to its grassroots. In fact, the word appears 71 times in the text, which the Synod secretariat issued in Italian, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
“To the penitence it owes to victims and survivors for the suffering it has caused, the Church must add a growing and intensified commitment to conversion and reform in order to prevent similar situations from happening again in the future,” it states.The text raises the question of integrating “those who do not feel accepted in the Church, such as the divorced and remarried, people in polygamous marriages, or LGBTQ+ Catholics”.
“What new ministries could be created to provide the means and opportunities for women’s effective participation in discernment and decision-making bodies?” question the document’s authors.
