Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops, has urged the Church to push for greater acceptance of synodality.
His call came in a note published to mark the 60th anniversary of the Synod of Bishops, founded by Pope Paul VI in 1965 through the motu proprio Apostolica Sollicitudo.
Cardinal Grech said Catholics should “make every effort to ensure that the third phase of the synodal process constitutes a further step forward in the experience and understanding of synodality.” He went further, describing the Pope’s move as a “prophetic intuition” at the close of the Second Vatican Council.
