This episode includes a conversation about synodality with Dr. Kristin Colberg professor of theology at the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University and the only Vatican-appointed U.S. member of the Theological Commission supporting the Synod on Synodality. Dr. Colberg explains synodality as the ancient practice of "walking the path together" through prayerful listening and communal discernment. She also shares how the process was rooted in Vatican I and Vatican II and explored how co-responsibility can be made more practical through church structures. She shares global insights from synod reports—desires for a more welcoming, pastoral church, vibrant liturgy and preaching, renewed leadership styles and fuller recognition of women's and lay gifts—while noting Pope Leo's support and emphasis on structural formation. Dr. Colberg also discusses the 2028 Ecclesial Assembly which will dig deeper into the work of the Synod at the local level. All are invited to attend the 18th Annual Father Wil Illies Heart Speaks to Heart Memorial Lecture on April 18 from 7 to 8 p.m. at Christ Church Newman Center Terrace (396 1st Ave S., St. Cloud) where featuring Dr. Colberg and her lecture Synodality: Rooted in Vatican II Witnessed in the Ministries of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV.
