In a digital environment, it is now possible to consult the recently created Observatorio Latinoamericano de la Sinodalidad, whose objective is to accompany the Synod of Bishops on synodality, whose second session is scheduled for next October.
The new observatory is especially aimed at members of the Catholic Church in Latin America and the Caribbean, and provides news, reflections, testimonies, training proposals, interviews, reports and news, written by sociologists, theologians, journalists and other professionals.
This project is led by Amerindia – a network of Catholics with an ecumenical spirit and open to inter-religious dialogue and cooperation – and its purpose is to “reaffirm the preferential option for the poor and excluded”.
The Amerindia coordinating team includes Alejandro Ortiz, a Mexican theologian who, in statements to the information portal, Digital Religion highlighted that Latin America and the Caribbean have “a history of hope and action”, “full of the Gospel” and, therefore, “full of love, justice and compassion”. “From here, from the depths of our Latin American and Caribbean ecclesiastical being, we built this observatory.”
The person responsible states that the Latin American Observatory of Synodality should become a “window to observe the dynamics of the Spirit around synodality”, and also a vehicle to bring to light “fundamental social issues” that “condition and influence” populations . In addition to a website, the new observatory has pages on social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, X and Youtube.
