““I am well aware that speaking of a ‘Synod on Synodality’ may seem something abstruse, self-referential, excessively technical, and of little interest⟳ to the general public,” Pope Francis said in August. But, he added, it “is something truly important for the church.””

“Francis, by contrast, was at pains to listen⟳ and act, going so far in 2023 as to call⟳ a curiously named synod on synodality in his anxiety to make⟳ the process⟳ work⟳ better as a conduit between the centre and the outposts of his global church.”
