Does Synodality Trump Hierarchy? (Fr. Gerald Murray) 6/25/26
About this episode
We welcome back canon lawyer Fr. Gerald Murray to examine a synodal study document on priestly formation that raises serious concerns about de-clericalization and the potential democratization of Church authority. If priestly formation is increasingly shaped by synodal principles, what effect could that have on clerical authority, sacramental ministry, and the governance of the Church?
