Brandmüller alerta contra el modelo sinodal inspirado en Lutero que concede «igual voz» a todos: «Es incompatible con la eclesiología católica»

In brief

Cardinal Walter Brandmüller warned that certain views of synodality introduce a Protestant model into the Catholic Church. The Church historian stated that a model based on the democratic election of members and giving priests and laity an equal voice is incompatible with Catholic ecclesiology.

Brandmüller linked this specific conception of synodality to ideas inspired by Martin Luther. He argued that such an approach deviates from established Church teachings by treating pastors and laypeople as having the same level of authority or voice within the community.
