Document Details : Title: 'For a Synodal Church' Subtitle: Equipping the Catholic Church on Her Way into the Third Millennium Author(s): MAYER, Annemarie C. Journal: Louvain Studies Volume: 43 Issue: 3 Date: 2020 Pages: 205-214 DOI: 10.2143/LS.43.3.3288704 Abstract : Partly already with an eye to the 2022 Synod of Bishops, this thematic issue of Louvain Studies focuses on the central idea of synodality. All the contributions collected here attempt a stocktaking exercise en route, addressing – with parrhesia (boldness), as Pope Francis recommends in Evangelii Gaudium no. 259 – which breakthroughs have been achieved, what progress has been made, yet also which impasses have been reached and which barriers have been encountered on the path to being a synodal church. This editorial article introduces the overall topic and assesses the relation and relevance of the individual contributions to the general topic of this thematic issue. |
