Summary
Erzbischof Georg Gänswein, speaking to EWTN News on a Friday, criticized the recent developments in the Catholic Church. He expressed concerns about the “Synodal Way,” stating that several demands of this path move away from faith rather than clarifying it. Gänswein emphasized that reforms were needed but the Synodal Way indicated a decline in the faith and warned against veiling other hidden demands under the guise of “Synodality.” Regarding Papal appointments, Cardinal Georg Gäns said many cardinals had asked for clarification on what exactly “Synodality” meant. He noted that after years of discussion, no consensus was reached. According to Gänswein, Synodality should be about staying or joining in the exchange within the church, but he believed this term could conceal other goals unrelated to synodality. Gänswein also spoke positively, noting a gradual return to normalcy under Pope Leo XIV’s leadership. He highlighted that changes in Papacy had brought new positive effects and that young people remained committed to their faith. Overall, Gänswein maintained hope despite his criticism of certain developments.
