Synodal examinations

Synodal examinations are formal evaluations conducted within the Catholic Church to assess the spiritual state, knowledge, and adherence to church teachings of individuals, typically those preparing for sacraments like confirmation or ordination. These examinations involve a series of questions posed by Church officials, focusing on faith, morals, and doctrine, to ensure that individuals understand and live according to Church beliefs. They serve as a way to confirm proper spiritual formation, readiness, and commitment to the faith community.
