These unresolved matters span a wide range of topics, including doctrinal debates, institutional reforms, social cohesion, and financial sustainability. While some issues have seen partial progress, the broader systemic and societal challenges remain largely unaddressed, signaling a complex and ongoing set of responsibilities for the new archbishop. The current landscape reflects a church navigating internal divisions, external societal pressures, and the need to adapt to contemporary cultural shifts. As the new archbishop assumes their role, the ongoing nature of these issues underscores the importance of strategic, informed leadership to guide the church through an uncertain future.
