Summary
Professor Hemel expressed disappointment after six years of Synod work, stating that despite intensive efforts and engagement from many people, the results divided into two parts. The Synodal Way aimed to tackle important reform issues with potential worldwide significance. These include dealing with abuse cases, envisioning a priestly lifestyle for the future, understanding the role of women in the Church, and navigating the diversity of sexual orientations within the church. Key figures mentioned include Pope Francis and several cardinals who have been involved in the process. Although the Synodal Way did not achieve its ambitious goals, it addressed crucial topics that are considered important by both local and global Catholic communities.
