Abstract

The article addresses the issue of synodality in the Catholic Church as understood by Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI. It is a topic of particular relevance today, when members of the People of God are increasingly concerned and puzzled by the various recent synodal practices within the Church. What is needed, therefore, is a proper assessment of synodality brought by one of the greatest theologians of the 20th and 21st centuries. In the first point, the paper discusses the concept of synodality as it evolved at the turn of the 20th century Church. The second point is a presentation of the German thinker's reflections on ecclesial synodality. The final points are a theological juxtaposition of the aspirations of the German Synodal Way and the Synod on Synodality with a view to reflecting on which of them is closer to a magisterial, including Ratzinger's understanding of synodality, as an essential feature of the Church.
