| | Holy Synod - OrthodoxWiki |
 | | Membership in the holy synod is determined by the traditions and canonical documents of a particular church. | | | Holy Synod in this usage is distinct from an Ecumenical Council, which may also informally be called a holy synod and consists of bishops from throughout the Orthodox Church, acting together to deal with Church-wide issues. | | | All autocephalous and some autonomous churches have their own church-wide holy synods, and there may also be local ones (often called eparchial synods), as well, especially if a particular church has territory spread out over a large area. |

| | The holy synod condemns and censures the book as containing teaching that is unsound and erroneous in the faith, as well as its defenders. | | | The holy synod therefore admonishes the cardinals to protect the lands and subjects of the Roman church from harm and oppression and, mindful of their peace, safety and good government, to recommend them, if need be, to the supreme pontiff. | | | This holy synod also decrees that it will be in conformity with reason and beneficial for the common good that the Roman pontiff should attempt nothing contrary to this salutary decree, except for an important, reasonable and manifest cause, which is to be specified expressly in an apostolic letter. |

| | Points of Reflection for the Holy Synod |
| | We ask the Holy Synod to enjoin the faithful to deport themselves in churches and other holy places with the reverence due the Eucharistic Lord and/or called for by the particular place. | | | That Church, Holy and Catholic, which is the Mystical Body of Christ, is made up of the faithful who are organically united in the Holy Spirit through the same faith, the same sacraments and the same government and who, combining into various groups held together by a hierarchy, form separate churches or rites. | | | We ask the Holy Synod never to permit such practices in the Ukrainian Church, and to keep in mind also that such practices are used by feminist and neo-Modernist ideologues to agitate for the supposed eventual ‘ordination’ of priestesses. |

| | ADDRESS TO HOLY SYNOD |
| | On the afternoon of Friday, 4 May, the Holy Father went to the Palace of the Archbishop of Athens and of all Greece, Archbishop Christodoulos, to pay a formal visit to him and the Holy Synod. | | | It is tragic that the assailants, who had set out to secure free access for Christians to the Holy Land, turned against their own brothers in the faith. | | | The Catholic Church is convinced that she must do all in her power to "prepare the way of the Lord" and to "make straight his paths" ( Mt 3:3); and she understands that this must be done in company with other Christians — in fraternal dialogue, in cooperation and in prayer. |
