At the hospital, Papa Francisco approves reform process in the Catholic Church

For this process of action, the involvement of all people who contributed during the Synod renewed to gather the fruits of the auscultation of all churches.

Pope Francis approved at Gemelli Hospital, where he remains hospitalized, a calendar of meetings that will lead to an assembly of bishops and lay people in the Vatican in October 2028 to continue and consolidate the last synod.

The ‘Synod of Synodality’ has been celebrated in recent years to reform the Catholic Church.

With this decision, the Pope summons an assembly to consolidate the already made without summoning a new synod, as announced this Saturday the Cardinal Mario Grech, secretary general of the General Secretariat of Synod, in a letter sent to all the maximum representatives of the Catholic Church, said Efe.

These follow-up meetings were approved by the Pope at Gemelli Hospital on March 11 and aim to implement the Synod, launched for the period 2021-2024 and centered on the theme “by a Synodal Church. Communion, participation, mission.”

The final document, written after three years of work, “is part of the ordinary teaching of Peter’s successor” and, “as such, it requires being welcomed”, which “implies local churches and church groupings the commitment to implement” indications, through “discernment and decision” processes.

For this process of action, the involvement of all people who contributed during the Synod renewed to gather the fruits of the auscultation of all churches.

The basic instruments will be the “synods formed by priests, deacons, consecrated and consecrated, lay people, accompanied by their bishop” and these teams must be reinforced and, if necessary, “renewed, reactivated and properly integrated,” according to the Secretary General.

Cardinal Grech said that in May a specific document will be published to indicate its concrete implementation and later, between the first and second half of 2027, evaluation assemblies in dioceses, parishes and episcopal conferences are held.

The first and second half of 2028 will be destined to continental assessment and publication assessments of the Instrumentum Laboris (document with the working method) of the Ecclesial Assembly of October 2028.

The synod to reform the church was completed with recommendations for greater listening to the faithful and more welcoming, but without ensuring more equality to women, who asked, among other things, the opening of the diaconate.

According to Pope Francis’ latest health update, released on Friday, when he spent a month of his internment due to bilateral pneumonia, the head of the Catholic Church has a “stable” clinical picture and recovers “little by little”.

Francisco, 88, has been hospitalized since February 14 due to bilateral pneumonia and other breathing problems.
