VATICAN CITY — Delegates from around the globe are converging on Vatican City for the opening of an unprecedented assembly seen as part of the broadest consultation on the direction of the faith since the 1960s.
Pope Francis officially announced the “Synod on Synodality” in 2021, asking regional churches to produce topics to ponder., from how to elevate the role of women in ministry and administration to ways to welcome divorced people, the LBGTQ+ community and polygamists in the church. The synod will also consider more “concrete steps” to prevent clerical sexual abuse and offer justice to victims, though victims’ rights groups have denounced the synod for not taking the issue seriously enough.
