Abstract
For centuries synodality and primacy have been regarded as irreconcilable and the gap between them insurmountable. What is today’s ecumenical Catholic-Orthodox perspective of the relationship between primacy and synodality? From this point of view, the article briefly presents the growing theological distance, particularly after the First Vatican Council, and the ecumenical approaches related to the foundations and documents of the Second Vatican Council, the views of renowned Catholic and Orthodox theologians and the documents of the Joint International Commission, especially from Ravenna (2007) and Chieti (2016). The work clearly demonstrates the change of theological awareness on both sides that primacy and synodality, as two Church structures based on the development of two ecclesiologies (Eucharistic and Universal) no longer exclude each other, but open up and supplement. Each structure needs the other. Their congruence as a guideline should be perceived and applied, and their conflict should be excluded. In order to advance on the path of Church unity we must increasingly seek to understand the primacy in the synodality and look for synodality in the primacy.
