e-Synodality

GlobalIntegral Worldwide e-Synodality

The New Evangelization for the IIIrd millennium associated with digital culture and synodality implies developing contextual inculturation.

The Catholic Church, summoned by Jesus Christ at all times and in all places to proclaim the Gospel, is naturally synodal and its mission is accomplished in conformity with the plan of divine love.

The spiritual process of ecclesial synodality is directed by the Holy Spirit and is anchored in episcopal collegiality.

In his work of salvation, God honors his People with his merciful listening by coming to their aid to save them and they respond to him, after having also listened to him, with their condition as a pilgrim People, all of whose members are interdependent, with the aim of opening up an eternal future; this mutual listening is the basis of walking together.

Therefore, God's dialogue with humanity finds its reason for being in the synodal Church which announces, explains, proposes and prepares the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Holy Spirit, protagonist of the culture of synodality, teaches men to live a unity that integrates the diversity of cultures.

Therefore, it is essential to always take into account what the Holy Spirit says to the Church through the variety of gifts and charisms that he gives to all generations of missionary-disciples and to coordinate cooperation between the different areas of the evangelizing mission.

Synodal community listening is combined with the infallible authority of the sensus fidei of believers which guards against any error.

The synodal spirit makes it possible to approach any type of question with an evangelical approach and an attitude of listening in silence, of openness to others, of meeting, of dialogue, of managing tensions and of sharing the singularities of each person.

The synodal Church is rooted in the common baptismal dignity of the faithful, which creates a co-responsibility for all in the service of the missionary dynamic in order to bear witness by building the ecclesial community in the unity of the faith.

The synodal mentality, nourished by prayer, implements conversion in the Spirit to share experiences, promote common ecclesial discernment, find participatory consensus, identify key points, build communion that shines and makes it credible, develop decision-making processes, and open up to commitment in the mission by taking the right direction, and this without avoiding polarizations, tensions and conflicts.

Any contribution from legitimate diversities is integrated to enrich the synodal Church and synodality sees in listening to others what the Holy Spirit wants to bring to the common good; it follows that each member of the People of God has a unique role to play.

The authority that emerges in the governance associated with any synodal approach must imperatively be oriented as a service that helps others grow rather than as an abuse of power.

The synodal and evangelizing journey of the People of God requires listening to the poor, the marginalized, the rejected and the excluded.

Through the culture of encounter, the synodal Church is intended to be out to embrace in its entirety the geographical and existential peripheries of the human race and to give birth to hope by walking together towards the Holy City.

Furthermore, the discernment of the signs of the times helps in the appropriate development of the orientations of evangelization generating cultural mediations and the creativity of the faith of the synodal Church by precisely adjusting its planning.

Through community discernment, the synodal movement identifies new paths that are in accordance with the will of God.

In the digital age, it is possible to implement e-synodality coupled with the New Evangelization by using digital technological means of communication and by creating efficient online platforms with Agentic AI, while being aware that nothing replaces face-to-face human relations.

In synodal synergy, every baptized person, faithful to their own vocation, must be a protagonist in the service of the mission and live from the spirituality of communion while relying on permanent conversion and a testimony of commitment.

The power of the Holy Spirit is expressed in multiple ways and sometimes even where man does not expect it.
