‘The Synodal Path … challenges and in some cases repudiates the deposit of the faith,’ wrote Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver.
DENVER (LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver has written again to the head of the German bishops’ conference, condemning once more the controversial “Synodal Path” and accusing the German bishops of “betraying the Gospel” by defending the movement, which he said “repudiates” the deposit of the faith.
“The Synodal Path … challenges and in some cases repudiates the deposit of the faith,” Aquila wrote in his May 2 letter to Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, head of the German bishops’ conference.
Aquila’s letter came in reaction to Bätzing’s defense of the so-called Synodal Path, after more than 70 bishops from around the world signed an April 11 letter condemning the movement and accusing its participants of leading the Church into schism.
The Synodal Path is a controversial movement in Germany which seeks to usher in radical changes to the Church’s teaching, particularly on sexual morality, and which brands itself as the answer to the sexual abuse crisis.
Recently, an overwhelming majority of participants voted in early February to approve Synodal draft documents calling for the “blessing” of same-sex couples, the ordination of women, and changes to Church teaching against homosexuality.
In his letter to Bätzing, Aquila says that the documents of the Synodal Path “cannot be read in any other way than as raising the most serious questions about the nature and binding authority of divine revelation, the nature and efficacy of the sacraments, and the truth of Catholic teaching on human love and sexuality.”

In other words, the Germans want the Catholic Church to cease to be Christian and to full-on worship sodomy and other Satanic, anti-Biblical garbage.
They want the Church of Germany to be just like the Church of England: a post-Christian, irrelevant acolyte of the zeitgeist.
