One of the most significant appeals that Pope Francis has brought to the life of the Catholic Church is the call for a synodal transformation of the Church. Such a concept of the Church is closely related to what “catholicity” means as a characteristic of the Church. The article, therefore, analyses selected documents of the Second Vatican Council dealing with the catholicity of the Church and analyses the catholicity of the Church based on the synodal concept of the Church (the Church as communio ecclesiarum). The methodology of a “transversal reading” of conciliar documents shows the not‑yet‑fulfilled potential of the effective reception of the teaching of Vatican II. The text consequently aims to set out several key topics on how to develop the future of Catholic ecclesiology.
