Synodality definition
Synodality means “walking together.” This has become a key theme of Pope Francis’ pontificate, which has raised some questions and even confusion. With this in mind, I would like to offer some reflections on how synodality is, in fact, the long game of Pope Francis, how it challenges us, what it calls us to be, where it is leading us and how that process will require changes in how we do and be as Church. And what we will find is that this is a focus on the journey of the Body of Christ through history, a journey that fosters ongoing conversion and, ultimately, calls us to mercy.
