We are not just a subsidiary of Rome, Cardinal Marx said. Each episcopal conference is responsible for the pastoral care in their culture and has to proclaim the Gospel in its own unique way. We cannot wait until a synod states something, as we have to carry out marriage and family ministry here.
Cardinal Marx happens to be a member of Francis' Gang o' Eight and here he is promoting a bunch of little schisms via "each episcopal conference".
