Abstract

The theme of synodality is currently a subject of significant reflection, as Pope Francis’s pontificate has been characterised by the pursuit of broader participation for all regarding ecclesial life and pastoral and evangelising dynamics. The Pope did not invent this theme; rather, it was already present at the dawn of Christianity and was reclaimed during the Second Vatican Council, though it currently gains renewed strength and vigour.
