In an interviewpublished yesterday, Pope Francis condemned the German Synodal Way as elitist, unhelpful and running the risk of bringing ideological harm to Church processes.
“The German experience does not help,” Pope Francis told Associated Press during the interview, explaining that dialogue should involve “all the people of God”.
The pope said the German process is neither helpful nor serious, and made a clear contrast between it and the universal Synod on Synodality that will culminate with two big meetings at the Vatican this October and next.
