Catholic ping!
Just look at the pomp, circumstance, opulence and pageantry and ridiculous pontification of its head of the Vatican and tell me they are Godly.
Gee, that almost looks like a “Planned Parenthood” symbol behind the guy.
The problem is not the German bishops. The problem is a Roman Catholic Church that won’t remove these bishops from their posts and then excommunicate them for their heresy.
Not suprising I hate to say this
Germany start becoming rest of Europe
That back in old days when Pope has the power to excommunicate even King of England not anymore
The Catholic Church in Germany is paid for by the government.
Merckle is not that fond of gay marriage. Interesting times
I don’t know much about all this but are most of the Anglican Sects pro gay marriage?
Just wondering.
I’m a Protestant but I do have a question or 2 or so...
why are these guys bishops ???
are they not vetted and watched and evaluated throughout their clerical lives and service to see how they measure up ???
Are they promoted through the ranks on merit or religious and church politics ???
Is the Pope going to insist on investigating these guys for possible homosexual activity or sex crimes against little boys in the past ???
Schism
The disintegration of authority in Western Civilization is approaching biblical proportions. Soon we shall have one billion separate points of tiny lights wasting their energy and producing no heat or significant light with which to see.
Excommunicate? Francis has appointed them to some of the Church's highest offices and committees.
Well, then the end of the RCC is nigh, isn’t it?
My guess is that the Bishops are going to fold in country after country as they face civil lawsuits and regulatory sanction for “discriminating” against gays.
This is just the first domino.
Do the Bishops in question still own majority stock in a publishing house that produces most German pornography?
It’s not like this is some new behavior for this bunch.

The gays have taken over the Anglican and Catholic churches in Europe.
Bishops and Cardinals come from that pool of priests....there you go....
when the 60's rolled around and our Catholic seminaries became homosexually centered, the future was cast...
I think Ratzinger needs to come out of retirement.
