The Synodal Path as a Call for Renewal

This book offers a compelling analysis and ethical reflection on the Synodal Path in Germany. It takes up the causes, debates, and resolutions of this reform process and consistently develops them further. The starting point is the Church's profound crisis of trust caused by abuse of power, sexual violence, and structural failure. Written in clear language, the book connects internal Church issues with global responsibility. It addresses power and accountability, the role of women, sexuality and contraception, the protection of creation, the treatment of animals, hunger and global injustice, and child marriage. It is not aimed solely at the grassroots level, but explicitly at decision-makers in the Vatican and within the global Church. The Synodal Path is not presented here as a completed project, but as an ethical point of departure. The book does not call for quick solutions, but for consistency, courage, and a willingness to measure faith against lived reality.
