“Pastoral conversion” and “synodality” are key theological categories that lay at the heart of Pope Francis’s vision of church. They call for new ways of being church, grounded in a People of God ecclesiology that demands a revision of lifestyles, new practices of communal discernment, and ecclesial structural reform. In this context, the Church in Latin America has emerged as a “source church” (iglesia fuente) and a powerful symbol of renewed ecclesiology that responds to the challenges that Catholics throughout the world face in today.
