The German Synod bishops have misread Vatican II's decree on the pastoral office of bishops. It says, "They should present Christian teaching in a way appropriate to the needs of the times, that is, in a way that meets the difficulties and problems that people today find a special burden and source of anxiety. They should also safeguard this teaching..." They read only the first part and ignore the following clarifying portions. It means that Church teachings are to be applied to current problems not change Church teaching to fit current popular opinion.
