Synodalność – prawo i obowiązek wszystkich wiernych
Sinodality – The Right and Duty of all the Faithful

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the issue of synodality in three dimensions. First, itdiscusses synodality in the light of can. 212 § 3 of the Code of Canon Law.Secondly, it addresses the issue of obligatory disclosure of oneʼs opinions aris-ing from the above-mentioned canon. This is an attempt to answer the questionwhether participation in the synodal process may oblige a faithful to manifesthis or her opinions concerning the good of the Church, and if so, on what basis.Thirdly, the article expands the question about the existence of legal groundsfor the obligation to manifest oneʼs opinions in the canons regarding the exist-ing councils of a particular Church. This extension of the analysis is justifiedby the principle that synodality does not require the creation of new structures. This leads to the final conclusion that existing canons already contain provi-sions regulating speaking in the synodal process.
