Pope urges Italian Bishops to embrace a synodal Church for all.
Pope Francis urges the Italian Church to continue on the synodal path to promote the "co-responsibility" of laypeople and clergy and build a less clerical Church. He recommends valuing the potential present in parishes and Christian communities, enhancing "ecclesial co-responsibility", being an open Church, and being a "restless" Church that welcomes the challenges of our time. The Holy Spirit is the protagonist of the synodal process.
