Il Sinodo panamazzonico: una sfida per tutta la Chiesa.

This article aims to present the main proposals of the Pan-Amazon Synod which will be implemented in October 2019 in Rome. The document of Santarém, established in 1972, was identified as the inspiration of the Synod, which saw the bishops of the Amazon region reunited to indicate the future pastoral lines. While in the 1970s it was a question of updating the pastoral choices indicated by the Second Vatican Council and the journey of the Latin American Church that emerged in Medellín in 1968, the Synod of Rome intends to place the emerging problems of the Amazon region at the center of ecclesial attention. Thus we move from the delicate theme of ministry and the problem of the absence of the Eucharist in the communities of the entire Pan-Amazon area, to the problems of broad social importance concerning the situation of indigenous peoples and the ecological question.
