| Abstract | The development of the paradigm of synodality in diocesan synods following the 1983 CIC This article examines the development of the paradigm of synodality within the context of diocesan synods in Germany after the promulgation of the 1983 CIC. Based on the grounds on which they were convoked, their various changes in statutes, regulations, and procedures, as well as the juridical relevance of their synodal resolutions, these synods are described as representative assemblies of the faithful, who (together with the bishop) seek ways to transmit the Faith. As advisory bodies to the bishop, they have evolved into active promoters of a synodal understanding in dioceses, and they have contributed significantly to the development of the synodal principle as an essential characteristic of the Church. Keywords: synodality; diocesan synod; juridic relevance. |
