Pope Francis Receives Bishop Bätzing, Reportedly Encourages German Synodal Path

In a statement, the head of the German bishops’ conference said the Pope called on the Church in Germany to “help shape the path of synodality” for the upcoming Synod of Bishops for the universal Church.

VATICAN CITY — During a private audience this morning, Pope Francis urged the president of the German bishops’ conference to continue with a much-disputed Synodal Path for the Church in Germany.

According to a statement issued almost immediately by the German bishops’ conference after the meeting, Bishop Bätzing said the Pope “has encouraged us to continue on the Synodal Path we have chosen, to discuss the questions openly and honestly and to come to recommendations for a change in the way the Church operates.”

“At the same time,” he added, “he called for the Church in Germany to help shape the path of synodality that he has proclaimed towards the Synod of Bishops in 2023.”

To paraphrase Vito Corleone: “Marx is a pimp. He never could have outfought the catechism. But I didn’t know until this day that it was Bergoglio all along.”

Cupich leading reviews, Nighty-nite Tobin being promoted to the Congregation for Bishops and most recently to the Apostolic Signatura, and open encouragement to Batzing for the German/Francis schism.

Bergolio's now on a roll.

Yes, a vatican big whig, confidante of Francis, and big supporter of ecumenism and synodality.
