Cardinal Michael Czerny, Undersecretary for Migrants and Refugees for the Dicastery for the Promotion of Integral Human Development, provided a theologically rich and prophetic reflection to the Discerning Leadership participants on Synodality in the Church and how it is a “fundamental characteristic of the Church’s identity”.

His intervention is divided in the following parts:

• Premise
• 1. Lumen Gentium : The Ecclesiology of Communion, Presupposition of Synodality
• 2. Synodality and Collegiality in the Church: The Inverted Pyramid
• 3. The Preferential Option for the Poor
• Conclusion

The intervention can be found in our Youtube Channel, and the speech in two parts in Thinking Faith (Part 1, Part 2).
