During the beginning of the XVI General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on Synodality, his secretary general of cardinals. Mario Grech, gave the beginning speech to the audience. In the beginning session, the clergyman argued that the common desire was to “structural change in the Church.” According to purple, the different expectations of improvement are now besides heterogeneous to make final decisions. However, as part of the synodal process and the strengthening of the spirit of “synodality” there is to be a consensus that will set the framework for changes in the Church.
– Many believe that the intent of the synod is structural change in the Church, reform – said the cardinal. Grech on Wednesday night in the Vatican Synod Hall. –This desire runs around the full Church – he added.– We all want to, but not all of us have the same thought of improvement and its priorities – noted the cardinal.
The determination of circumstantial changes is to consequence according to the hierarchy from strengthening the synodistic "style and method" in the Church. The desirable nature of this process of cards. Grech illustrated on the basis of the the thesis of the progressive theologian Yves Congar and his forbidden by Papacy in 1952 the book "The actual and False improvement of the Church".
The secretary of the Synod announced that it was listening to the Church in the voice of all, and then seeking a common consensus must become the axis of synod changes. As he pointed out, the universality of spiritual beliefs was a condition for early Christians to be recognized as part of the apostolic deposit of faith. According to the cardinals. On this basis, the Greeks may think that the synodial process is simply a one more time taking on this vision—and a glimpse in the “consensus” of all the Church’s “voice of the Spirit” that is to find the nature of the reform.
The secretary-general of the Synod stressed that the assembly had intensive work to do and reiterated that the Synod was fundamentally a “school of discernment”. – At the Synod, the Church gathers together with the Pope to jointly discern in the sense of mature synodality as kind and methods – said the cardinal. Grech. In this context, the Synod Church can besides be a proposal for today's society. – Church discernment can be an example for any kind of congregation that must find the golden rule of seeking fact and the common good, listening to 1 another – believes the clergy.
Card. Grech placed a peculiar emphasis on the function of bishops as teachers and “guards of discernment” in local churches, episcopal conferences or continental assemblies. – The Synod Church depends mostly on the Synod Bishop – said the cardinal. So it is to a large degree the activity of the shepherds after the Second Synod Session that will decide what happens next as part of synod changes.
This does not mean that the Synod will stay without consequences. As the card said. After the closing of the meeting, the Greeks will begin to implement what has matured in the synod process since 2021. – The more the consequence reaches the Churches, the more it will not be the consequence of our efforts, but the fruit of obedient listening to the Holy Spirit said the secretary.
