German Bishops and the Synodal Way

Questions Covered:

• 20:59 - What gives the German bishops the authority to do what they’re doing? If they don’t have authority why doesn’t the pope reprimand them? 
• 23:29 - What are your thoughts on establishing a Catholic monarchy? 
• 30:06 - This disunity is what’s keeping me from being Catholic. How should I approach this? 
• 34:16 - I know there’s a pope who, when he was elected, immediately got rid of the bishops and appointed new ones. Do you happen to know who this pope was? 
• 45:35 - Is it fair to make a comparison of the surveys the protestant churches sent out to the survey the bishops sent out for this synod? 
• 50:54 - Is there a similar disparity within the German bishops as to the US bishops?
