"I would say that the 2021–2024 Synod was a "first" in many ways. It was the first time that the regulations of Episcopalis Communio were fully applied. It was the first time that the entire Church—and everyone within it—had the opportunity to participate in the synodal process. It was the first time that non-bishop members participated in the Assembly. It was the first time that a Final Document was immediately approved by the Holy Father, thus becoming part of his ordinary Magisterium."
