Professor Thomas Sternberg, who started the Synodal Way in 2019 with Cardinal Reinhard Marx, said that Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, attempted 'to stop the whole thing' in the beginning.
Proponents of the German 'Synodal Way' are 'propagandists of a secularized church that has distanced itself from Christ, who want to cast out the violations of the natural and revealed anthropology and sexual morality by destroying it,' writes Cardinal Müller.
'Having completed the preliminary investigation entrusted by the Pope to Fr. Jacques Servais, S.I., the conclusion of which was that there are no elements to initiate a trial against Cardinal Ouellet for sexual assault,' the Vatican said Thursday.
The accusation against Cardinal Ouellet represents just one of the 101 alleged victims part of a class-action lawsuit filed against the Archdiocese of Quebec.
