On this special crossover podcast episode of "Jesuitical" and "Inside the Vatican," Zac Davis speaks with his colleagues Gerard O’Connell, Sam Sawyer, S.J., and synod member James Martin, S.J., about the concluding document of the recent synod on synodality in Rome.

They discuss:

  • The open debate about women’s ordination to the diaconate
  • Why reference to L.G.B.T. Catholics was not included in the synthesis document
  • What the synthesis document is and how it can be read and used widely
  • Was this really a synod of bishops?
  • Plus, new paths for appointing bishops and performance review
