Whither Synodality in the age of Fiducia: My latest in the Register

Crisis in the Church

The autocratic papacy of Pope Francis is contrary to the reforms of Vatican II on the topic of collegiality

This papacy rules via the autocratic path of issuing documents without broad epispocal consultation, even on topics of universal significance for the Church. That is not synodal. One then wonders why they are discussing "synodality" at all then?
