There was mounting outrage on Wednesday over Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller’s dismissal of “Synodal Path” talks as a “suicidal process” akin to 1933, when Hitler took control of Germany.

The synodic process, set up by German bishops and the ZdK Central Committee of German Catholics, is intended to address a long-simmering protest by groups. It is focused on widespread calls to end celibacy, create ministries for women, debate sexual mores and scandals over priestly abuse of minors.

Cardinal Müller slammed the 230-member Catholic conference as “a self-appointed assembly, which is not authorized by God nor by the people it is supposed to represent”… He said power in the church could not be democratically confined and its evangelical teachings could not be “redefined or even reinterpreted.”
