Deep Dive: What happened at the 2024 Synod on Synodality

This special deep dive episode recaps the 2024 VaticanRoman meeting of the Synod on Synodality, featuring interviews with five synod delegates about the tensions and unexpected breakthroughs in the Synod hall—and outside it.

Finally, host Colleen Dulle and expert guests look at what the Synod’s results demand now from church leaders and every baptised Catholic.

Guests include:

- Archbishop Timothy Costelloe of Perth, Australia

- Helena Jeppesen, a Swiss synod delegate

- Agbonkhianmeghe E. Orobator, S.J., dean of the Jesuit School of Theology at Santa Clara University and a synod delegate

- Diana Macalintal, co-founder of “Team Initiation”
