ROME – At the start of their spring plenary meeting, the leader of the German bishops’ conference told reporters that they are essentially ignoring the Vatican’s veto on a new governing body of the church in Germany, and that plans are moving forward anyway.From February 27 to March 2, 62 of the 67 German bishops will gather in Dresden for the spring meeting. Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, president of the German Bishops’ Conference, started things off on a controversial note when he told reporters at the start of the plenary meeting on Monday that he had sent a letter to the Vatican responding to an earlier veto on the proposal for a new “Synodal Council” in Germany.According to the German Catholic news site Katholisch.de, Bätzing told reporters that in his letter he again explained what the purpose of the Synodal Council is and what is the goal of the Synodal Committee, which is expected to be launched next week and which has the task of forming the Synodal Council in the next three years.
