Synod proposes canon law reform to empower laity and women
Original: Synod proposes reforming canon law to give greater weight to laity, women in the Church
The Catholic Church's Synod has put forward proposals to reform canon law that would give greater decision-making weight to laypeople and women within the Church. The measures would change the legal framework governing how authority is exercised, moving beyond a solely clerical structure. The proposals are drawing attention as a significant step in the Church's ongoing debate over governance and the role of non-ordained members.
Why now: The synod's proposals touch on long-running debates over authority, governance and women's roles in the Catholic Church.
