According to these anonymous participants the entire German synodal process has been arranged to result in a conclusion that conforms with the perspectives of the heterodox majority in charge.
ROME — The Synodal Path of the Catholic Church in Germany is dominated by “indignant laypeople” who are ensuring their “radical demands” are met by making them look more moderate.
This is according to an assessment written by two anonymous synodal lay participants and shared with Bernhard Meuser, a German Catholic publisher who recently helped found a new lay group critical of the Synodal Path called “Neuer Anfang” (New Beginning — A Manifesto for Reform).
Meuser, who also founded the YOUCAT Foundation for the New Evangelization in Bavaria, told the Register on Oct. 6 that according to these members of the Synodal Path, the process is an “abuse of the Church, the forcible appropriation of power by liberal forces and their domination of the process.”
The Synodal Path, which began in January 2020 and is slated to end in 2023, aims to tackle key areas of reform which organizers say have been highlighted by the clerical sex abuse crisis.
The two disaffected participants shared their comments with Meuser in a question-and-answer format. They wished to remain anonymous because they wanted to continue “to have a say within the process” and did not want “the thread of conversation to break off,” said Meuser, who believes they reflect the full “horror” and “terrible things happening there.”

And the "political activist" pope hasn't lifted a finger to shut down the German schism, while he's busy trying to destroy the Mass of All Time with his "radical demands".

Catholic Church needs to split. The Catholics that are Catholic, and the Catholics that Catholics in name only.
Why do I keep reading that as "German Cyanide path"?
Because you’re very perceptive.
What you say is true, and there should be a split, but it’s complicated by the fact that the name-only crowd has control of the Vatican. If Rome were holding the line, it’d be very easy to say to the German heretics, “You’re out of here.” But Rome isn’t holding the line. Bergoglio is sympathetic to the German radicals and thinks that they’re basically right, just moving perhaps a little too fast. For the faithful Catholics, it’s a conundrum. Being in communion with the Bishop of Rome is considered essential to being Catholic, so the faithful Catholics aren’t likely to break off unilaterally. Even the SSPX hasn’t technically broken off. They say, “Look we don’t follow Rome’s unjust, illegal orders, but we’re still in communion with them.”
