Synodality and holiness Bishop Erik Varden, O.C.S.O., First Things Monday, October 23, 2023 Synodality that configures us to our crucified and risen Lord, is life-giving, redolent with the sweet perfume of Christ Jesus (cf. 2 Corinthians 2.15). Synodality, meanwhile, that encloses us in limited desires and predictions, reducing the purpose of God to our measure, must be treated with great caution. © 2023 The Catholic Thing.
