“Let us remember, in this regard, that synodality is not a simple discussion. It is not an ‘adjective.’ Never ‘adjectivize’ the substantiality of life.”
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis said on Thursday that synodality is not a “search for majority consensus,” but rather a “style” guided by the Holy Spirit.
The Pope made the remark in an address to a delegation of French Catholic Action groups at the Vatican on Jan. 13.
“The Church as a whole is also engaged in a synodal process, and I count on your contribution,” he said.
“Let us remember, in this regard, that synodality is not a simple discussion. It is not an ‘adjective.’ Never ‘adjectivize’ the substantiality of life.”
“Synodality is not even the search for majority consensus, this is done by a parliament, as is done in politics. It is not a plan, a program to be implemented.”
“No. It is a style to be adopted, in which the main protagonist is the Holy Spirit, who expresses himself above all in the Word of God, read, meditated upon and shared together.”
Pope Francis formally launched a two-year global consultation process last October, leading to the 2023 synod on synodality.

The Holy Spirit guides true Christians, not fake ones.
