What do the recent synod documents have to say about decision-making processes in the Catholic Church? These documents include those of the Synod of Bishops between 2021-2024 (Preparatory Document, Instrumentum Laboris 1 and 2, Continental Synthesis Reports, Synthesis Report of the First Session, and the Final Document of the Second Session). These, examined together with the document on synodality of the International Theological Commission (2018) and the Synthesis Document of the Italian Synodal Path (2025), offer a unique opportunity to highlight achievements and open questions for the future of ecclesial decision-making.
