CWN Editor's Note: The president of the National Episcopal Conference of the Congo linked synodality to the bishops’ efforts for peace in the strife-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Archbishop Fulgence Muteba of Lubumbashi told Vatican media that he sees “listening, consulting, collaborating, and acting together in shared responsibility” as the key elements of synodality. The prelate said that the nation’s bishops used these synodal elements in developing a proposed roadmap for peace.
Archbishop Muteba also “warned against potential pitfalls if synodality is not accompanied by solid ecclesial formation,” according to Vatican News.
