ABSTRACT

The ecclesiological perspective of the Second Vatican Council continues to be a lighthouse for theological reflections and evaluations and the Church's involvement in this current synodal renewal points to the deep wealth that this Council's legacy has left us. But in order for us to not fall into the temptation of using synodality as a magic word, it is necessary to ask after factors that can promote not just its durability but also its credibility in the life and mission of the Church. The Church's origin and sustenance flows from the life of the Blessed Trinity, which is her model but the participation and identity of the ecclesial subjects within the Church is also important because without these, the significance of catholicity and communion cannot be said to have been achieved.
