Poland’s Catholic bishops have pledged to resist changes to Catholic teaching on marriage and family life at October’s synod on the family at the Vatican and rejected demands for reform by German-speaking Catholics.
“Polish Church delegates will certainly stick to the understanding of Popes Paul VI and John Paul II,” said Msgr Jozef Kloch, spokesman for the Polish bishops’ conference.
“As the vicar of Christ, the Holy Father will decide what can be accepted. In this sense, we’ve nothing to fear. At the Second Vatican Council, there was also intense debate, so arguments and conflicts are quite normal,” he said.
Thanks be to GOD!!! It’s not just German Church members, but it is also Cardinal Marx who wants to contradict Church teaching and the very Word of God and accept civil gay unions in the Church. What is mind boggling is that Cardinal Marx is in the Pope’s inner circle. I can’t wait till this is all over. I have a strong feeling that anyone expecting an change is going to be highly disappointed.
