Find below the text of CNA’s conversation with Weigel: CNA: Bishop Bätzing seems to want to walk a fine line between remaining faithful to Rome while not displeasing those who are already announcing “reforms”. Is there such a middle ground? If so, what would that middle ground realistically look like? Weigel: The issue is not “Rome” vs. “reforms.” The issue is fidelity to the truth of the Gospel vs. fidelity to the Zeitgeist, the “spirit of the times.” Put another way, the issue at stake in the German “synodal way” is whether divine revelation on the indissolubility of marriage, on worthiness to receive holy communion, on the proper ordering of our human loves is real and has binding power over time, in every cultural situation. That was also the issue at the Synods of 2014, 2015, and 2018.
