What does Pope Francis say about the synodal process?  #12

“Consultation of the faithful must be followed by discernment on the part of the Bishops chosen for the task, united in the search for a consensus that springs not from worldly logic, but from common obedience to the Spirit of Christ.  Attentive to the sensus fidei of the People of God—‘which they need to distinguish carefully from the changing currents of public opinion’ —the members of the Assembly offer their opinion to the Roman Pontiff so that it van help him in his ministry as universal Pastor of the Church…When it is therefore a question involving the faith itself, the consensus ecclesiae…is the outcome of the working of the Spirit, the soul of the one Church of Christ.’”  (Apostolic constituio episcopalis communio # 7 ,2018)  https://bit.ly/3vPCJne
