The Instrumentum laboris presented today ahead of the second session of the Assembly scheduled in Rome in October proposes that anyone in a position of authority at every level in the ecclesial community should give an account of how they carry out their pastoral plans. Enhancing the role of women is among the foundations of synodality, but the Synod will not address the question of women's access to the diaconate.
There is a need for those in authority within the Church to periodically report to the community on how they carry out their “pastoral plans, methods of evangelisation, and how the Church respects the dignity of the human person, for example, regarding the working conditions within its institutions.”
In the meantime, Pope Francis last February entrusted ten emerging issues on which broad consensus had already emerged in the first session to ten study groups tasked to elaborate detailed proposals to be presented to the pontiff by June 2025. The text emphasises how in too many cultures “the presence of machismo remains strong,” and calls for “a wider participation of women in the processes of ecclesial discernment and all stages of decision-making process” with “wider access to positions of responsibility in Dioceses and ecclesiastical institutions.”
