The Vatican has released the results of its synodal sessions.

It’s one of these weird mystery documents the church puts out that is so in love with its own jargon that it is hard to know what to make of it. Catholics are apparently supposed to take the “synodal style” into just about everything. Here is an extremely tedious section at the front trying to describe the contents:

In order to support this work and help make it concrete, the Pathways suggest a number of areas in which the local Churches may question themselves in order to recognize steps of reception and development:
promotion of a synodal spirituality (cf. FD, nos. 43-46) and of a liturgy lived in a synodal key (cf. FD, no. 27);
fostering of ministries and charisms; access by lay faithful to leadership roles that do not require the Sacrament of Orders and to other ecclesial responsibilities (cf. FD, nos. 60, 75-77);
practice of ecclesial discernment (cf. FD, nos. 81-86),
decision-making processes in a synodal style (cf. FD, nos. 93-94)
,and the functioning of participatory bodies in a synodal style (cf. FD, nos. 103-106);
development of practices of transparency, accountability, and evaluation (cf. FD, nos. 95- 102); missionary renewal of parishes and local communities (cf. FD, nos. 117-119);
bonds among neighbouring Dioceses, within regions, and across countries (cf. FD, no. 124);
synodal style in ecumenical relations (cf. FD, nos. 137-138);
synodal style in interreligious relations (cf. FD, no. 123);
synodal style in organized presence within society (education, culture, human promotion, hospitality, healthcare, etc.; cf. FD, no. 118) and in the promotion of peace, justice, and care for our common home (cf. FD, nos. 47-48, 121);
formation activities in synodality (cf. FD, nos. 143-151) and the synodal character of the paths of Christian Initiation (cf. FD, no. 142); etc.
This list, which is not exhaustive, is intended as an aid so that relevant dimensions of the experience are not overlooked.

If you think the full document explains how any of this relates to Jesus Christ, the proclamation of the Gospel, or the saving of souls from perdition, you’re out of luck. None of those things is mentioned in the entire document. This is a document for a church that is so self-referential it is recording its sleep apnea gasping onto a phonograph and then playing it backwards, looking for the Spirit of Synodality within. The aftermath of the Tower of Babel had more sense than this.
