| Summary: | The notions of "sound decentralization" and "synodality" have been advanced by Pope Francis in relation to the diocesan bishop and the particular church. The teaching of the Second Vatican Council on bishops and, in particular, the diocesan bishop therefore merits careful consideration, both in itself and in regard to the relationship between diocesan bishops and the Roman Pontiff. Decentralization was part of the post-conciliar debates on subsidiarity and autonomy, which led to an outlining of the hallmarks of "sound decentralization." Synodality stands in relation to such decentralization; the term "institutional synodality" is a means of both understanding and implementing synodality in the life of the particular church. |
