The Synod on Synodality (2021-2024) has implemented a synodal process that has the  audacious goal of providing an opportunity for the whole people of God to discern  together what steps to take to be a truly synodal and missionary Church, in the three  dimensions of Communion, Participation and Mission.

The challenge is to create a Church of communion, open to all, without verticality and  clericalism. All of us, both lay and consecrated people, are called to contribute to the  realization of this dream, while knowing the inevitable tensions that affect every human  reality.

To grow in synodality and true mutual listening, where everyone’s voice is welcomed and heard, we must take these tensions into account and learn to deal with conflicts. Not to get trapped in them, but to transform them into something “constructive and  transformative.”

As Pope Francis says: “Conflict cannot be ignored or concealed. It has to be faced. But if  we remain trapped in conflict, we lose our perspective, our horizons shrink and reality  itself begins to fall apart. In the midst of conflict, we lose our sense of the profound  unity of reality. When conflict arises, some people simply look at it and go their way as if nothing happened; they wash their hands of it and get on with their lives. Others embrace it in such a way that they become its prisoners; they lose their bearings, project onto institutions their own confusion and dissatisfaction and thus make unity impossible. But there is also a third way, and it is the best way to deal with conflict. It is the willingness to face conflict head on, to resolve it and to make it a link in the chain of a new process. Blessed are the peacemakers!” (Mt 5:9) (Pope Francis, Evangelii gaudium, 226-227)
