German prelate Cardinal Walter Kasper, the former President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, has called Germany’s Synodal Path a “failure” in an interview with Communio, joining fellow German cardinals Gerhard Müller and Reinhard Marx, who have also expressed their concerns to different degrees. Cardinal Kasper said the Church would only have a future if it continued on the path taken by the Second Vatican Council in synodal fellowship, a route that the Synodal Path has “failed to take”.
