One of the cardinal’s main concerns is how the Synod on Synodality is being conducted at the universal level, beginning with the initial assembly at the Vatican in October 2023 and culminating later this year with a final assembly in October.
The cardinal asked that if Cardinal Fernández, as prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, ‘is committing a heresy by claiming a serious sin as ‘good,’ then shouldn't the prefect resign or be dismissed?’
Cardinal Zen himself suggested last month that Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, resign because of the confusion over the latest document by the DDF.
The bishop emeritus of Hong Kong posted an Oct. 12 statement on his website.
Cardinal Zen’s letter warns of attempts to depart from the traditional ecclesiastical order, suggesting any apparent democratic reorientation is coupled with proposed revolutionary changes in Church constitution and moral teachings on sexuality.
In the interview, Cardinal Zen also reflected on his private meeting with Pope Francis, when he was allowed to travel to Rome for the funeral of Pope Benedict XVI earlier this month.
Along with Cardinal Zen and Ng, singer-activist Denise Ho, cultural studies scholar Hui Po-Keung, and ex-legislator Cyd Ho have also appealed the conviction.
In an interview with an Italian newspaper, the Chinese cardinal criticized what he called ‘tendentious generalizations’ in Pope Francis’ 2021 decree restricting the traditional liturgy.
Archbishop Cordileone, whose archdiocese sits within a metropolitan area that is nearly 30% Chinese, has continuously called for prayer for the people of China and Hong Kong.
The cardinal posted photos showing him embracing Benedict XVI’s closed coffin and greeting Pope Francis in front of Michelangelo’s Pietà on the morning of the funeral.
