Pope Leo XIV backs Synod on Synodality
Pope Leo XIV continues to support the Synod on Synodality as the Church enters a phase of implementing the outcomes from the three-year process initiated by Pope Francis. Although the formal listening and dialogue period concluded in 2024, coordinators say the synodal process is still ongoing.
Auxiliary Bishop Juan Miguel Betancourt of Hartford, Connecticut, who chairs the Synod Implementation and Evaluation Task Force for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said the current phase involves implementing and celebrating the results of the synod. The original process included worldwide diocesan consultations, listening sessions, and discernment among clergy, religious, and laity to identify common themes for a final document.
The Church expects to see the results of these developments emerge across diocesan, national, continental, and world levels by 2028.
