- Title
The Synod on Synodality in Light of Pope Francis's Theology of Mission.
- Authors
LEMNA, KEITH
- Abstract
The article explores the concept of synodality in the Catholic Church and its relationship to Pope Francis's theology of mission. It discusses the theological basis of synodality in Pope Francis's papal exhortation Evangelii Gaudium and argues against interpretations that prioritize historicism and democratization of Church structures. The article also discusses Pope Francis's emphasis on popular piety, the importance of inculturation in mission, and the need for dialogue and collaboration to overcome polarizations in the Church. It references Pope Francis's writings and the International Theological Commission's document on synodality to support its arguments. Overall, the article presents a nuanced understanding of synodality and its role in the Church's mission of evangelization.
