Summary

Starting from 23 February, German bishops will convene for their spring plenary session in Würzburg. Their agenda includes voting on the constitution of an upcoming synod conference. The appointment of Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck is seen as pivotal to this process. Overbeck’s role is to address Rome’s concerns during his personal exchange with Filippo Iannone, the Prefect of the Bishops’ Department. This meeting aims to resolve any objections from the Vatican regarding a new congregation intended to sustain the synodal path indefinitely.
