did the German church ever sell the largest porn publisher in Germany??
That's the part that I'm inclined to doubt. The Germans have been doing this for years without announcing their material apostasy.
They're coming "out of the closet" with it now, I think, because they realize the Synod in August isn't going to go their way. Cardinal Kasper said outright that it doesn't matter what's "advised" by the Synod or "decreed" by the Pope, the filthy rich, BMW-driving German bishops still know what's best for their own (clearing the throat) "pastoral practices."
It reminds me of the way fiery medieval preacher/reformers used to group together "simony, luxury, sodomy." They seem to go together.
It's a shame that super-caldera is under Yellowstone and not, say, Cologne.
Um, by endorsing the move they may not be changing words on paper but are violating their church official teachings by their actions.

Satire?
