Cardinal Woelki is opposed to the German Synodal Way, but sees the Synod on Synodality as positive. “The Church is an institution that has to reform itself again and again – and in doing so must align itself with Jesus. But the issues of the Synodal Way – such as admission to the ordained ministries – have been around for decades. I advocate tackling these issues together with the universal Church. I am therefore glad that the Pope has convened a world synod.”
