October 21, 2024 – Massimo Faggioli, a professor at Villanova University, explains the unfolding of the Catholic Church’s Synodal Process (2021-2024) called for by Pope Francis and its potential for the development of doctrine and discipline for the most debated issues in the Catholic Church.
The livestream presentation, What Happened at the Synod on Synodality, And What is Next? begins at 7:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 14, 2024. Dr. Faggioli, a professor of historical theology at Villanova University in Philadelphia, gives a synopsis of the synodality process, its ecclesial meaning, and prospects for a synodal Catholic Church – one that involves all members in listening and discussion about matters of importance.
Dr Faggioli's most recent books include The Liminal Papacy of Pope Francis: Moving Toward Global Catholicity (2020); The Oxford Handbook of Vatican II, coedited with Catherine Clifford (2023); and Global Catholicism: Between Disruption and Encounter, co-authored with Bryan Froehle.
