Summary/Abstract: The promotion of synodality is the most significant pastoral initiative of Pope Francis. It focuses renewed attention on the reception of the Second Vatican Council. This article discusses how synodality gives new life to two aspects of the council’s ecclesiological vision, namely, the church as the people of God and the theology of the local church. They played a major role early in the council’s reception but were later sidelined. Synodality now brings them back to the centerof attention.
