WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE SYNODAL CHURCH?


It seems to me, in my most humble opinion, that one of the first things the synodal Church should do, before changing the faith and morals of the Church, is to have dioceses select their own bishops in a synodal way, no?

But it seems that Pope Leo isn’t synodal in this way given the rash of bishop appointments he is now making.

Maybe the Holy Father is letting the synodal Church die a merciful, natural death?

The Synodal Church is alive, well, and our future, based upon Pope Leo XIV's Christmas Greetings to the Curia.

Pope Leo XIV:

"We are called, especially here in the Curia, to be builders of Christ’s communion, which is to take shape in a synodal Church where all cooperate in the same mission, each according to his or her charism and role."

Pax.
