Abstract
The pontificate of pope Francis has brought about a new momentum, an acceler-ation of the dynamics of the ecclesial conversation, and the Synod on synodality (2021-2024) is the culmination of this acceleration. At the same time, it is not clear yet whether Francis wants to bring this movement to a conclusion or if it will re-main open in a process. This article gives some historical-institutional perspectives that are important for comprehending the contours of this question central to Fran-cis’ pontificate but also for the Catholic Church in the 21st century.
