- Title
Synodality and the New Media.
- Authors
Brazal, Agnes M.
- Abstract
During his pontificate, Pope Francis has both broadened and enhanced the concept of synodality and the synodal process to involve "especially those on the periphery who are often excluded and forgotten" (Vademecum) and even those who have left the church. This thrust toward maximum participation and inclusion will necessarily give rise to divergences and conflicts regarding theological issues. This article explores how the use of new media, following the vTaiwan model, can be a means to go beyond an impasse and discern the consensus fidelium. vTaiwan is an online-offline discussion platform established by the government and activists in Taiwan to promote participatory governance.
