Representatives of the German Bishops’ Conference met with senior officials from the Roman Curia in Rome this week as part of a continued round of talks over the creation of a national synodal body for the Church in Germany.
According to a joint communiqué, the meeting focused on a proposed statute for the so-called “Synodal Conference” in Germany, exploring “various points of the future statute of a synodal body … such as its nature, composition and competences”.
This is the latest in a series of encounters between the German Church and the Vatican, with previous sessions held in July 2023, March 2024 and June 2024.
