Vatican City, October 27, 2023 (KAP) With a night shift by the text commission for the summary synthesis report, the current synod assembly in the Vatican is entering its final phase. As the Vatican communications director Paolo Ruffini announced on Friday followingnoon, 1,125 requests for changes from the working groups and 126 individual requests need to be processed. However, many of these are almost identical, so the number will be significantly reduced. The final version will be decided by the commission with an absolute majority and sent to the synods on Saturday morning.
At the last general meeting beginning on Saturday followingnoon, the updated text will be read out and paragraph by paragraph will be voted on. A two-thirds majority of the members present is required for each paragraph; abstentions are not possible.
As the Vatican further announced, the synod did not decide on the further course of the process, but rather collected suggestions from the participants. The only thing that is certain is that there will be a second session of the World Synod on the topic of synodality in October 2024.
