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 not, Marchmain? Bergoglio has recently been inundated by numerous bishops and cardinals with requests to shut down the Germans' synodal schism.
Marx' faux resignation is just a staged stunt to keep the schism going.
