Cardinal Mario Grech said on Wednesday that synodality is not a “fad” of the pope, but rather “the form and style of the early Church.” The Secretary General of Synod of Bishops told Vatican News on July 21 that officials were working on a preparatory document for the 2023 synod on synodality. “I would like to clarify a misunderstanding. Many people think that synodality is a ‘fad’ of the pope. I hope none of us shares this thought,” he said. “In the various preparatory meetings, it became clear that synodality was the form and style of the early Church.” The Vatican announced in May that the 2023 synod would begin with a two-year consultative phase involving Catholic dioceses worldwide. The General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops is expected to release a preparatory document and vademecum, or handbook, in September.
