Synod of Bishops

The Synod of Bishops is a gathering of bishops from around the world in the Catholic Church, convened by the Pope to discuss important issues affecting the Church and its followers. Established in 1965, the Synod aims to promote dialogue, share insights, and develop pastoral strategies. It provides a platform for bishops to advise the Pope on various topics, ranging from faith and morality to social issues and Church governance. The discussions can lead to recommendations that shape the Church's direction and help address contemporary challenges faced by Catholics globally.
