The reform of the Church in synodal key. A complex and articulated agenda

An international Symposium on the reform of the Church was held in October 2015 in Rome, with the participation of thirty scholars from various theological disciplines coming from thirteen countries. The objective of the meeting was not only oriented to theoretical discussions about the reform, but rather aimed to provide an updated state of the issue and offer to a series of recommendations for its practical implementation in the short, medium and long term. This article brings to light some of the central ideas set out therein, formulates opinions on various aspects of the current reform, and even provides specific suggestions, such as some amendments to the Code of Canon Law.
