Grech, who was appoint- ed by Pope Francis as secre- tary general of the Synod in September 2020, is leading a global consultation process within the Catholic church that will culminate in two synods to be held at the Vati- can in October next year and the year after. The process started in 2021, is described as an "act of dis- c e r n m e n t " that encom- passes all C a t h o l i c s . But it also lays empha- sis on the need to listen to the voic- es of others who may not practice the faith. The first part of this process has p r o d u c e d more than a hundred docu- ments from the world's di- oceses with findings from consultations made at parish level. This exercise has ex- posed issues that can chal- lenge church dogma. In an online address to US bishops gathered in Wash- ington DC on 26 September, Grech outlined two of these issues that have "created a lot of discussion" – holy com- munion for divorced and remarried Catholics and the blessing of same-sex couples. No exclusive access to God The Maltese cardinal was quoted by Fr James Martin, an American Jesuit priest, telling bishops that these issues "are not to be understood simply in terms of doctrine, but in terms of God's ongoing en- counter with human beings". "What has the church to fear if these two groups within the faithful are given the oppor- tunity to express their inti- mate selves and the spiritual realities that they experience? Might this be an opportunity for the church to listen to the Holy Spirit speaking through them also," Grech said. A deci- s i o n - m a k i n g process in the church always should begin with listening, he told his au- dience. "This is not about de- mocracy. This is not pop- ulism. A syn- odal journey is a process of listening to the Spirit, who speaks through all the members of the people of God," Grech emphasised. "The hierarchy do not have exclusive access to this ongo- ing dialogue with God. Let us trust that the Holy Spirit acts with and in our people. And that the Spirit is not merely the property of the ecclesias- tical hierarchy." The fault line: Conscience and dogma The fault line between Müller and Grech is pretty clear when seen from the out- side: the former believes that God's word as revealed in the Bible paints a black and white picture of good and bad, right and wrong; while the latter understands that there is a lot of grey and the individual's enlightened conscience must not be violated by dogma. Grech is no stranger to such conflict. Five years ago, when still bishop of Gozo, he faced backlash, along with Archbishop Charles Sciclu- na, over guidelines issued to priests on how to understand Pope Francis's exhortation Amoris Laetitia. The exhor- tation provided an opening for Catholics in family rela- tionships deemed irregular by the Church and placed emphasis on the individual's conscience. The bishops stirred the ire of conservatives within the Maltese Church when they said divorced Catholics in a new relationship should not be denied holy communion if, following a process of re- flection, they believe they are "at peace with God". At the time, the Maltese church was a global trail- blazer with its guidelines that were also published on the Vatican's website. But the conservative ele- ments within the Maltese church were uncomfortable with the position taken by the bishops, suggesting it was morally wrong and contrary to church doctrine. Now, these same tensions are being felt on a global level as the synod attempts to lis- ten to and embrace divorced Catholics and the LGBTI+ community. difficulty to reconcile acceptance of LGBTI+ persons was on display in which conservative Müller took pot shots at and Pope Francis for Grech conservative Vatican Hostile takeover: Muller (right) is the voice of a Catholic orthodoxy that disagrees with Grech's (top with Pope Francis) interpretations, and has even accused him of "undermining the faith" and that he is not a "recognised theologian" "They think that doctrine is like a programme of a political party that can be changed according to their votes."
