Cardinal elect Luis Ladaria, the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, had rejected the document on May 25 and called it “not ready for publication".
According to a press release, Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx has stated at a meeting with Pope Francis that Ladaria’s letter “provides guidance and a framework for interpretation” [meaning: can be ignored].
The published “guidance” is labelled as being “not a document of the Bishops’ Conference” but “within the responsibility of the individual bishops as an aid to orientation”.
It writes that the topic should be “explored in greater detail”. The German bishops graciously “offer the Holy Father and the Roman Curia our assistance in this matter”.
Next on the list of the German bishops is distributing Communion to non Christians.
