As the plenary assembly of the Synodal Path gets underway this week, with a debate on sexual morality, what next for the progressive movement? Despite misgivings in some quarters – not least from the Vatican  - Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops, the Maltese prelate Mario Grech, said he views open letters on the Synodal Path as a “public denunciation” in an interview with Herder Thema. The cardinal said open criticism “only further polarises”. Grech continues to have confidence in the Synodal Path and trusts the German bishops know what they are doing.
