What it’s like giving a speech inside a synod of bishops

The synod on synodality learned a lot from the young people who
attended the youth synod in 2018, says Julian Paparella, who was 25
years old when he addressed hundreds of bishops in that assembly.
Now studying in Rome, he joins Zac and Ashley to shed light on the
dynamic at work inside synods and how the process has evolved over
the past five years to truly listen to lay—and especially
younger—people. They also discuss: The young people’s call in 2018
for greater inclusion of women in the church The balance between
learning synodality and tackling the hot-button issues that matter
to many people who feel excluded from the church How conversion

Times, the part of the show where the hosts sift through Catholic

discussions in the synod on synodality. Links Julian Paparella’s
