Abstract

This article reviews the process of synodality in which the Catholic Church is immersed today and the two modalities that are currently being developed within that process. On the one hand, the one of the Universal Church, convened by Rome as a meta-synod about this collegial procedure for ecclesiastical decisions. On the other hand, the dissident side of the German Synodal Path, which defends a specific agenda compatible with the version or rights and freedoms that has been consolidated in Second Postwar constitutionalism. The text claims that both synodal modalities are based on divergent conceptions of Equality which are confronted with Robert Alexy’s Theory of Law and Fundamental Rights.
