Synods have a long tradition in the ecclesiastical history, though their significance varied in different epochs of the Roman Catholic Church. Within the European area, synods gained in importance after the Second Vatican Council, although they appeared in a new or rather modified form. This also applies to the diocesan synods and the Austrian Synodal Process (1973/1974), which took place after and has been celebrated by the supporters of the Second Vatican Council.

The figure of the Patriarch has always had a great importance in the life of the Church over the centuries. Furthermore, the patriarchal institution has its roots in the experience lived by the Church since the time of the Apostles, indeed, even before the Ecumenical Councils which recognized it and sanctioned it. The Patriarch, according to the discipline of Eastern Canon Law, is a bishop who presides over a “sui iuris” church of patriarchal rank, who has authority over the bishops, metropolitans and all Christian faithful of the Church he governs, according to the approved law by the Supreme Authority of the Church. He presides over his Church as “pater et caput” and this expression indicates the collegial nature of the patriarchal government in some Eastern Churches, where all the ecclesiastical and civil powers in a country with a Christian minority are concentrated in the person of the Patriarch. The root of the Pentarchy dates back to the first millennium. It refers to the collegiality of the five Patri-archs, precisely, the bishops of Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem in the government of the universal Church. In 2006 Pope Benedict XVI renounced the title of “Patriarch of the West” and this was the cause of a controversial debate on the theory of the “Pentarchy” between Catholics and Orthodox. A strong debate, very similar to that, was the debate concerning the patriarchal institution in relation to the Primacy of the Roman Apostolic See. Unfortunately, this debate has sometimes caused deep wounds such as the schisms between East and West. Today, however, this institution, rediscovered with new light of Vatican II, could contribute to the ecumenical journey towards the perfect union of all Christians.

The article presents the issue by showing the relationship of synodality with collegiality, with the ecclesiology of communion, with the renewal of the Church and with the new evangelization. John Paul II’s understanding of synodality was influenced by hisparticipation in the Second Vatican Council and the Council’s debate on collegiality. With the reception of the Council’s doctrine through local synods and the Synod of Bishops, the connection of synodality with the collegiality of the bishops and at the same time with the community of the Church working together with the hierarchy became apparent. The Pope referred to synods as a “school” of ecclesial communion and mission. The formation of an attitude of participation in Christ’s mission played an important role in creating communion. Synodal interaction between bishops, clergy and laity, thanks to this theological grounding, leads to a synthesis of ecclesial structures with the attitude of mature faith. In this way synods, or synodal practice, become important “instruments” for the realization of the Church’s communion and the intensification of her mission.

Artykuł ukazuje związek synodalności z kolegialnością, z eklezjologią komunii, z odnową Kościoła i z nową ewangelizacją. W rozumieniu synodalności przez Jana Pawła II istotną rolę odegrał jego udział w Soborze Watykańskim II i soborowa debata o kolegialności. Wraz z recepcją doktryny soboru poprzez synody lokalne i Synod Biskupów uwidocznił się związek synodalności z kolegialnością biskupów i zarazem ze współdziałającą z hierarchią wspólnotą Kościoła. Papież odwoływał się do synodów jako „szkoły” eklezjalnej komunii i misji. W tworzeniu komunii istotną rolę odegrało kształtowanie postawy uczestnictwa w misji Chrystusa. Synodalne współdziałanie biskupów, duchownych i świeckich dzięki temu teologicznemu ugruntowaniu prowadzi do syntezy struktur oraz postawy dojrzałej wiary. W ten sposób synody czy też praktyka synodalna są istotnym „narzędziem” urzeczywistniania komunii Kościoła i intensyfikacji jego misji.
