Document Details : Title: Der Weg der Synodalität Subtitle: Überlegungen zur Weltsynode 2021-2024 Author(s): MAYER, Annemarie C. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 100 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2024 Pages: 623-643 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.100.3.3293828 Abstract : The worldwide Synod on Synodality (2021-24) is best understood in its various contexts: the context of the present situation of the Catholic Church, of the history of synodality, of the reception of Vatican II, of the pontificate of Pope Francis, of ecumenical developments etc. This article provides, firstly, a non-exhaustive overview of the various contexts and foundations of this synod, e.g. the terminological background to synodality and synod, then traces its development from an event to a process, reflects on the theological significance of the subject matter and the methods employed and, finally, considering possible chances and pitfalls, asks what might be expected from this synod. |
