Basically, the Synod is the body which elects the High Priest and which also makes theological rulings.

The Synod consists of all the elders and every member of the church with the rank of lay-Cardinal. It also has one member who is elected by the Inquisitors as their representative. And finally there is one last member of the Synod who is elected by all full members of the Church who don't fall into one of the groups I've already mentioned.

Everyone on the Synod has one vote and they elect the High Priest of the Church with any candidate needing a two third majority in the Synod to be elected. They keep on voting until someone gets a two thirds majority.
