« La pratique de la synodalité rendra notre Église plus missionnaire »

In brief

Nicolas Brouwet, the bishop of Nîmes, says practicing synodality will make the Church more missionary. He argues that the process must help the Church community listen more closely to what the Holy Spirit says in the hearts of the faithful, particularly new converts.

Brouwet's comments come as synodality faces a crisis of confidence within the Church. According to La Croix, this includes fatigue, doubts about the intentions behind the process, and perceptions of unfulfilled promises.
