It would be nice to have synodality, but it my diocese the diocesan pastoral council was disbanded when he arrived and nothing has happened with synodality. Laity have no role in leadership. This is why the Church is decreasing, conservative bishops wanting to maintain their clericalist practices
Thank you, Matthew. Your reception of Pathways is very generous and cautious. For me the biggest takeaway from Pathways is to fully respect how we read FD.
I would say that we should look back on and read FD in a way that keep the whole process tied to looking back at the Gospel itself through looking back on our own personal experiences of a loving God through all our relationships as the People of God.

Synodality is only as new as the Gospel! 😇🥰
