Ok, here’s how the game works.

Take a belt of whatever you’re drinking today for every statement in AL that you predicted. (I recommend beer, perhaps lite beer, rather than something like tequila. Pace yourselves, people.)

Here’s one for me: the nitty-gritty of what to do to bishops and priests who refuse to toe the line will be kicked down to the National Conferences:

“Unity of teaching and practice is certainly necessary in the Church, but this does not preclude various ways of interpreting some aspects of that teaching or drawing certain consequences from it. This will always be the case as the Spirit guides us towards the entire truth (cf. Jn 16:13), until he leads us fully into the mystery of Christ and enables us to see all things as he does. Each country or region, moreover, can seek solutions better suited to its culture and sensitive to its traditions and local needs. For ‘cultures are in fact quite diverse and every general principle… needs to be inculturated, if it is to be respected and applied’.”

Meaning that what is refused in Poland will be granted in Germany.
