Pope Francis publishes a note accompanying the Final Document of the Synod of Bishops of Synodality. In it, he entrusts the Document to the Church and calls for creative implementation and a renewed commitment to communion, participation, and mission.
“This journey,” Pope Francis writes, “has allowed the Church to read her own experiences and identify steps to live communion, realise participation, and promote the mission entrusted to her by Christ.” He describes how this synodal journey actually began at the local level, moving then through national and continental phases. Now that the Assembly has concluded, Pope Francis entrusts the Final Document and its contents back to the local Churches, whom he invites to implement the contents of the Document with discernment, creativity, and respect for their unique contexts.
However, he clarifies that the Document"is not strictly normative" but rather a call for reflection differently applied in each context. He also reiterates"the conclusion of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops does not mark the end of the synodal process". Instead, he says, it marks the beginning of a phase of implementation, and "local Churches and their groupings are now called to implement, in different contexts, the authoritative directions contained in the Document through discernment and decision-making processes foreseen by canon law and the Document itself".
