On Thursday the Vatican published reports prepared by Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer and Cardinal Marc Ouellet which condemned the direction of Germany’s Synodal Path.

Cardinal Ladaria, a Spanish Jesuit who serves as the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, and Cardinal Ouellet, a Canadian who serves as the prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, presented the reports to Germany’s bishops on the final day of their ad limina visit to Rome on 18th November. Originally written in Italian, the texts were also published in German by Vatican News.
