We don’t know yet if Pope Leo will continue down the path forged by his predecessor and Team Grech or find a way to stabilize the synodality movement and bring it back into the heart of the Church. Three questions arise: First, why is it that those who vociferously praise and promote the post-2015 version of synodality – supposedly marked by listening, accompaniment, walking together, dialogue, diversity, and experience – seem to demonstrate little to no interest in those actual characteristics in their words and actions? Second, is their version of synodality the only one, or are their various (and even competing) versions? Third, since the “process” of synodality has now been extended out until 2028 (if not longer), what is going to come of it?
