Synod on Synodality: Is one of the most insidious action ever of a Pope in the history of humanity, since its beginning, which will definitely lead to its ultimate death. The Synod in a true Socio-Marxist-Humanistic spirit rejects the true authority given by Christ to the Church: The ultimate act of destruction of the institution founded by Christ. The Author well versed in these games shows how Francis as Pope, in a way, rejects the elite governing body and reaches out to any untrained humans (apparent empowerment in true Marxist style) in order to surreptitiously arrive at his own predetermined goal through the Synod on Synodality. The author, having been instrumental in exposing such frauds right through his youth, brings out the power game-play at work. In this people are merely used, through lies and intrigues, as a pawn, to achieve one's own insidious agenda, a predetermined end, detrimental to their Salvation. Thus the author analyses the mind-set of Francis to reaffirm the point through pertinent select examples, to keep the book short and the urgency to reach out palpable. To assuage the faithful the author briefly and logically brings out the reason for such a catastrophic situation in the Church and the way to deal with it. Ultimately, the book doesn't disappoint but consoles one in the right hope that leads to peace. Why wait, pick up a copy of the book now so as to save your soul and of the many.

In October 2021, the Catholic Church officially began the largest consultative process in human history. The entire people of God, some 1.34 billion Catholics worldwide, were asked to participate in a process of listening and engagement together over the course of two years. Why embark on this incredibly novel, time-consuming, and expensive task? Because your church wants to hear from you. This booklet explains and explores why the leaders of the Catholic Church have discerned that the synodal path is what “God expects of the church of the third millennium.” This Synod on Synodality is not just another meeting. It is the beginning of a conversion process that is essential to the life of the church and its mission. And the Church needs you to carry it out.

The publication of the ESCT (European Society for Catholic Theology) with the title „Synodality in Europe“ reflects on the synodal process in Europe and challenges of theological work in view of the learning process to become a „synodal church“. The different articles lay theological foundations of synodality, they present regional and world church perspectives, they show tensions and processes of pluralisation which are understood as a „laboratory“ of synodality related to the liberating and healing Gospel of Jesus Christ. Most of the authors are members of different sections of ESCT (in Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, Portugal, Slovakia and Spain). Integrated are also a protestant and two world-church contributions.

Synodality envisions a new way of proceeding in the Church: toward a coresponsible and participatory Church for the third millennium. It is an ecclesial model that calls for the recognition of laity as full subjects in the Church.

In recent years, the image of a Catholic Church needing renewal has deepened in the German public arena. The Synodal Path identified structural aspects underlying the ecclesial crisis and proposed solutions debating issues such as clerical power, sexuality, participation, and the role of women. Considering the importance of these deliberations for the universal Church and their controversial international discussion, the need for intercultural dialogue became increasingly clear. The empirical project "Synodal Way – Global Church Perspectives" aimed to weave the polyphony of Global-Church perspectives into the debate. This volume presents the research's results and their analysis by academics from different world regions, fills a gap in intercultural mediation, and offers an inspiring contribution to the ongoing synodal dialogue.
