A turning point out of this crisis is, in my (Marx') opinion, only possible if we take a ‘synodal path,’ a path which actually enables a ‘discernment of spirits’ as you (Bergoglio) have repeatedly emphasized and reiterated in your letter to the Church in Germany.

Just a note… The only thing Marx is resigning from is his position and his responsibilities as head of his diocese. To my knowledge, he’s not resigning from being a cardinal, a member of the Curia, or any of the other many positions of power he holds.
This is all about setting things up so that he can be the head of the German synodal church, so be that will not be bound by the laws of the universal Church, which is so yesterday, but at the same time will be able to claim that it is in communion with Rome because it is accepted by the pope. Or any rate by Bergoglio.
It’s not necessary to make a splash resignation of Marx in order to promote the synodal way. I wonder if there’s something else more pertinent to him personally that makes it advisable for him to get out of the limelight.?
Why was the letter not released in Latin? If Latin was good enough for Luther's 95 theses...
When is Pope Marx going to resign?
Marx, scapegoat for the countless unpunished cases of abuse? Time to move past all that now?
It’s plausible, but I don’t think the part of the laity that pays attention is going to buy it. Pelosi, Biden and their Catholic circle of influence will like it.
The very least Francis could be doing is besides raising theological questions on the assertions made in the Islamic codex (which is their code of observance and behavior) known as Sharia, and should be defending the Chinese Catholics.
Ignores this http://www.theusmat.com/islamandfreewill.htm
and also seems to ignore what Our Savior went through to establish the new covenant , Then Plays with suppressors of the faith
Francis continuing destructive confusing pontificating on temporal worldly social behavior,which has nothing to do with and avoids articles of faith and morals rebukes or restrains contemplative religious orders to favor such behavior .
By refusing to question and expound on the profound differences with the claims made by Islam and its followers Reaching out to and defend what Judeo/Christian beliefs are.Or challenge claims that Islamist make they are following God’s command using deceit and deception when ruthlessly murdering and torturing non believers and destroy their edifice .Smply because of its assertion of being monotheistic. Then winds up making a point of honoring it and placing it on an equal level because of that claim. Is leading to misguided conversions which is the result of my so called Pope playing games with this so called mono theistic cult and is creating a serious fracture within Christianity and The Roman Rite .
