The Canonical Spectrum of the Paths of Synodality for a Church sui iuris in the Third Millennium

Abstract

The objective of the Synodal process is to provide an opportunity for the entire people of God to discern together aiming at a Synodal mode of living. Communitarian metanoia, the convergence of attitudinal traits, the value of relationships, participatory bodies, sharing and participation in sacred things are the means to realize synodality in a cultural ethos. Synodality is reflected in all ecclesial spheres. As a contextual analysis, the yogam or assembly of Saint Thomas Christian Church is a forerunner of synodality.
