The German Bishops’ Conference elected Bishop Georg Baetzing of Limburg as its new leader on Tuesday.
Just ahead of the German bishops’ conference spring meeting to elect a new president, Regensburg Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer has proposed a new system for the group’s leadership.
In the wake of Pope Francis’s decision to summon the presidents of all bishops’ conferences of the world to talk about “the protection of minors,” there are some reasons why it may be the highest-stakes gamble of his papacy.
At a time when Pope Francis is under fire on multiple fronts, a Malaysian bishop says he and his fellow prelates came to Rome this week in part to affirm “that we’re happy with the direction he’s taking for the universal Church.”
