This study reflects on the Synod’s inspiring message of synodality as a call to a newparadigm for the Church. We point out the risk of the concept itself, which can be un-derstood statically and juridically. An appropriate complement, more in keeping withPaulinian images of understanding, is the concept of life style. The privileged and es-sential place of the Christian lifestyle appears to be marriage and family. It is therethat interpersonality is lived in all its fullness and becomes the source of the life of theChurch and of human society. It is where natural and supernatural life is handed downfrom generation to generation. The renewal of the Church’s paradigm goes back againand again to the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council, in the inspiring spiritalready indicated by Pope Francis in his post-synodal Exhortation Amoris Laetitia.
