A group of cardinals is pushing Pope Francis and the Holy See for simple yes or no answers to five points of doctrine it believes are becoming unclear.
A group of cardinals is concerned about the development of Catholic doctrine ahead of the upcoming Synod on Synodality.
After not receiving the yes or no answers desired after the second submission, the cardinals published the reformed set of questions in multiple languages for"Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we have manifested our deepest concern to the Roman Pontiff," said co-signer Cardinal Burke, one of the most prominent Catholic prelates in the U.S.
"It is not a mere question of names, but the reality that what we call marriage has a unique essential constitution that demands an exclusive name, not applicable to other realities. It is undoubtedly much more than a mere ‘ideal.’" Pope Francis has been accused of intentionally propagating ambiguity ahead of this week's 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, which will bring together cardinals, bishops, priests, religious brothers, nuns and laity from around the world in October to discuss the Catholic Church in the modern day and how best to move forward as a global community.
Pope Francis has said the Synod should not be characterized as a"parliament for demanding rights." He instead called it"a journey in accordance with the Spirit."
