The Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops dedicated to synodality has begun. Before the beginning of the sessions, at the opening Mass, the Pope called for a change of mentality.
The synod was born in the midst of an evident tension due to the doubts published by several cardinals who have asked the Pope to clarify whether this assembly will change the doctrine of the Church on issues such as the female priesthood or the attitude towards homosexual persons.
