Participants engage in discussions on various topics

During the synodonticidality, the participants, including bishops, priests, religious, and laypeople, gather in small groups called tables to discuss different aspects of the church's life and mission. These discussions cover topics related to welcoming and listening, pastoral outreach, and the development of doctrine. The participants express the importance of creating a more inclusive and participatory church where the voices of all members are heard. Although some speeches touch on doctrinal change, the general sentiment expressed is that the synod is mainly focused on pastoral matters rather than significant doctrinal revisions.
