Bishop Stefan Oster has said he is waiting “with some anticipation” for the Vatican’s response to the proposed Synodal Conference in Germany.
In an interview with the German Catholic outlets katholisch.de and KNA, the Bishop of Passau indicated that his participation in the initiative would depend upon Rome’s judgement. “I’ve always said that I will go with the universal Church,” he said, making clear that his stance remains conditional on agreement with the Holy See. “If we do it in agreement with the universal Church, then I’ll participate.”
