As we reported yesterday, a welcome rebuke of the German Schismatic Way was released from the Holy See, making clear that schismatics and heretics “find themselves separated from the entire ecclesial body, they weaken, rot and die” (quoting His Holiness).

As we have analysed at OnePeterFive, the Synod on Synodality has all the markings of the “dream” of Cardinal Martini and the St. Gallen Mafia.

On January 30, with the first assembly in Frankfurt, the “Synodal Path” of the German Catholic Church reform begins — a “journey” without the observance of canonical regulations that a real synod would require.
