Ireland's national synodal assembly has signaled a strong push toward evangelization and faith formation, as delegates voted on 35 proposals shaped by the country's five-year synodal process.
Catholic and Anglican leaders said they could not "think of any time in the last 30 years" when the Christian commandment to love God and neighbor "needs to be more urgently heard."
The trend reflects broader changes in Irish society. Census data shows the percentage of people identifying as Catholic dropped from more than 79% in 2016 to 69% in 2022, while those reporting no religion have continued to increase.
