The International Survey of Catholic Women (McEwan, McPhillips, Pepper, 2023) reported that 29% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that without reform there was no place for them in the Catholic Church. What reforms are women seeking? Do they correlate with the outcomes of the Final Document of the Synod on Synodality? Are there reasons to hope that synodality can deliver these long called for reforms? If the practice of synodality listens without responding with demarginalizing action, will it become a trigger for an escalation in disaffiliation and deconversion of women from the Catholic Church? In Australia Catholic Church efforts to listen to women have a long history. The Fifth Plenary Council of the Catholic Church in Australia (2018-2022) called for submissions from all, including those alienated from or marginalised within the Church, and twenty two years earlier research on the participation of women in the Catholic Church in Australia began leading to the report Woman and Man: One in Christ Jesus (Marie McDonald, Peter Carpenter, Sandie Cornish, Michael Costigan, Robert Dixon, Margaret Malone, Kevin Manning, Sonia Wagner, 1999). Yet little has changed. Drawing on the findings of the International Survey of Catholic Women, and Woman and Man: One in Christ Jesus, and an analysis of the continental and universal documents of the Synod on Synodality, this paper argues that synodality has the potential to address many of the reforms that women have consistently identified as necessary for them to feel that they have a place in the Church. To do this synodality must move beyond simply listening to women and facilitate meaningful action on what has been heard. To the extent that the practice of synodality addresses the abuse of power and demarginalizes women in the Catholic Church, it will contribute to addressing the disaffiliation of Catholic women.
