The Synodal Way has provoked ‘schism’ and blatantly mischaracterized Vatican II documents, Bishop Robert Mutsaerts said.
A Dutch bishop has rebuked the heretical documents of the German Synodal Way, saying that the German bishops practice “intentional deception of the faithful” and have invented the “signs of the times” as “a new source of revelation.”
Bishop Robert Mutsaerts, auxiliary bishop of ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, said that the proponents of the Synodal Way contradict the teachings of the Second Vatican Council to which they claim to adhere.
“Those who wish to be faithful to the Vatican Council cannot at the same time profess the content of the (German) Synodal Way – the statements are mutually exclusive,” Mutsaerts wrote in a blog post.
The Dutch bishop said that “[t]he Synodal Way pursued by the German Catholic Church claims to build on the 2nd Vatican Council,” however, a closer “a closer look at the texts of the Synodal Way proves just the opposite.”
“For example, the document ‘The Celibacy of Priests’ states, ‘A superiority of the celibate form of life can no longer be responsibly advocated since Vatican II.’”
