This conference consists of the Bavarian bishops from Munich and Freising, Rebensburg, Passau, Augsburg, Bamberg, Wurzburg, Eichstatt, and Speyer.<\/p>\n<p>Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig M\u00fcller, former bishop of Regensburg and now prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, recently wrote an article in <em>L\u2019Osservatore Romano<\/em> strongly defending the church\u2019s ban on communion for those who remarry and seeing no possibility of change in church discipline. In response to this, Cardinal Marxsaid that \u201cwe will see that it is discussed very broadly; as for the result, I do not know.\u201d Cardinal Marx is on the committee of eight cardinals appoints by Pope Francis to advise him in the reform of the Roman Curia and the governance of the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n<p>Cardinal Marx said that it is the express wish of Rome that there be widespread discussion throughout the church in preparation for the special synod on the family in October 2014. The cardinal believes that there are some questions for which the position of the majority of Catholics, including practicing Catholics in particular, is clear. He named the issue of the divorced and remarried as an example. A large number of the faithful cannot entirely understand \u201cthat a second union is not accepted by the Church.\u201d He thinks it is inadequate to speak of divorce as simply a \u201cmoral failure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cardinal believes that there are some questions for which the position of the majority of Catholics, including practicing Catholics in particular, is clear.
