More than 70 bishops from around the world have released a ‘fraternal open letter’ to Germany’s bishops warning that sweeping changes to Church teaching advocated by the ongoing process known as the Synodal Path may lead to schism. The letter expresses ‘our growing concern about the nature of the entire German Synodal Path’, which the signatories say has led to confusion about Church teaching and appears focused more on man’s will than God’s. The letter says ‘the Synodal Path’s actions undermine the credibility of Church authority, including that of Pope Francis; Christian anthropology and sexual morality; and the reliability of Scripture.’
