KM Marx’s statement concerned a draft version of the guidelines, which was ad- opted “after intensive debate” during a Feb. 19-22 general assembly of the con- ference. After Marx’s announcement on the inter-communion proposal, several Ger- man prelates appealed to the Vatican for clarification. Specifically, they wrote to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Council for Promoting Chris- tian Unity and the Council for Legisla- tive Texts. Signatories, who did not consult Cardinal Marx before writing the letter, included: Archbishop Ludwig Schick of Bamberg; Bishop Gregor Hanke of Eich- stätt; Bishop Konrad Zdarsa of Augs- burg; Bishop Stefan Oster of Passau; Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer of Regens- burg; Bishop Wolfgang Ipolt of Görlitz and Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki, arch- bishop of Cologne. None of the signatories, apart from Cardinal Woelki, were present for the May 3 meeting at the Vatican, which was held at the Vatican. Members of the German delegation for the May 3 meeting also included: Cardinal Marx; Bishop Genn; Bishop Wiesemann, president of the Doctrinal Commission for the German bishops conference; Bishop Feige, president of the German bishops’ Commission for Ecumenism; Bishop Voderholzer of Re- gensburg, and Fr. Hans Langendörfer SJ, secretary of the German bishops confer- ence. On the Vatican side, the meeting was attended by: Archbishop Ladaria; Cardi- nal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity; Msgr. Markus Graulich, undersecretary for the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts and Fr. Hermann Geissler, who serves as a kind of office manager for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. After the meeting, Ladaria was tasked with recounting the details of the discussion to Pope Francis. In his May 25 letter to Marx, Ladaria said he spoke to the pope about it May 11, and again May 24. It was after these discussions, he said, that Francis decided the inter- communion guidelines put forward by Cardinal Marx could not be published.
