The Way Forward 2023
The Way Forward: Pope Francis, Vatican II, and Synodality

The 2023 iteration of the Way Forward conference, titled "The Way Forward: Pope Francis, Vatican II, and Synodality," saw 80 participants engage in interdisciplinary discussion of Pope Francis' call for synodality as a continuation of the trajectory of the Second Vatican Council. Among the participants were cardinals, bishops, and other Catholic Church leaders, as well as theologians, historians, and journalists.

The event—co-sponsored by the Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage at 草莓社区 and the Fordham University Center on Religion and Culture—was a follow-up to the inaugural “Way Forward” conference in 2022, hosted by the Hank Center.
