バチカンは昨年12月18日に教理省長官の名で“Fiducia Supplicans: On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings」と題する文書を発表、「結婚に関する伝統的な教会の教義は変わらない」としつつ、「結婚とは程遠い状態のカップルが、教会での祈りに参加する場合」には、個人的な慎重さと知恵を発揮し、 司牧的かつ自然発生的な祝福をもって彼らを神に身を委ねたい」とした。

そうした中でプラハで枢機卿など主だった高位聖職者が集まった”秘密会議”については、昨年9月29日にアブジャ(ナイジェリア)のイグナティウス・カイガマ大司教が自身のフェイスブックにこの会合について投稿したにもかかわらず、これまでほとんど秘密にされてきた。この会議のことは、開催費用を全額負担した主催者の米保守系シンクタンク「Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Culture」のウェブサイトにも掲載されていない。
Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Cultureがこのような会議を主催するのはこれが初めてではない。2022年末にも会議を主催し、出席したオーストラリアの故ジョージ・ペル枢機卿は、未成年性的虐待の容疑で投獄され、その後無罪釈放となった経験を語り、フランシスコの路線を厳しく批判した。
プラハ会議の出席者たちの多くは、LaCroixの電話取材に応じなかったが、Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Cultureのマーク・レグネラス所長はメールでのやり取りで、同研究所がこのイベントを主催したことを認め、「広範な人々を招き、自由な議論の機会となった」と述べたうえ、「要するに、”知的な隠れ家”です」と付け加えた。 だが、同研究所が3日間の会議(および「研修」)の費用をどこから調達したのか、高位聖職者の誰を招待するかをどのように決めたのか、などの問いには答えなかった。
