16th General Assembly Of The Synod Of Bishops In The Paul VI Hall At The Vatican On October 4, 2023.

Pope Francis is convening a global gathering of bishops and laypeople to discuss the future of the Catholic Church, including some hot-button issues that have previously been considered off the table for discussion. Key agenda items include women's role in the church, welcoming LGBTQ+ Catholics, and how bishops exercise authority. For the first time, women and laypeople can vote on specific proposals alongside bishops. (Photo by Massimo Valicchia/NurPhoto)
