The Catholic Church in Germany seems to be becoming more and more unbounded in its proposals. In the recent past, for examples, the official website of the German Bishops Conference, katholisch.de, has reported about the idea to have women cardinals; about establishing homosexuality as a human right; and about the need for married priests and for female deacons to name but a few of the seemingly heterodox themes coming to us out of Germany.
Another theme that has also recently become international news, as it were, is that a commission of the German Bishops had published already a year ago on 22 October 2015 a brochure which downplayed the dangers of the Gender Theory and which was even claiming that Gender Mainstreaming is merely about producing an equality between men and women. In this context, the new report that now comes to us might well worsen the reputation of official German Catholics.
For, now a Catholic bishop himself Auxiliary Bishop Ludger Schepers, of Essen has proposed the unusual idea that there exists more than man and woman. He spoke these new categorical words at a 5-6 October conference on gender issues in Stuttgart, according to a 6 October 2016 report published by katholisch.de. The Conference itself had an interogative title: Is Gender an Ideology? Among the Conference speakers was an ardent defender of homosexual relationships, Dr. Stephan Goertz.
On 6 October, moreover, Bishop Schepers had himself spoken at the Conference on the theme Gender Trouble. Was nun? Zukunftsperspektiven der Kirche (Gender Trouble: Now What? Church Perspectives for the Future). In his speech, he alleged according to katholisch.de that there exists a deep conflict within the German Bishops Conference with regard to the above-mentioned Gender Brochure which.....

Lunacy
Are there any Bishops or Cardinals who are interested in carrying out the faith? I wonder.
How many souls will perish as a result of this nonsense?
Yup...The One True and Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church...
Well, this IS Germany in 2016, a country that has invited and welcomed their own demise.
I’m going to guess that the ‘new’ combo is, ‘Man and Goat.’
The entire World is upside down!
This is a radical example of “taking the Lord’s name in vain”.
These Bishops have a lot to answer for at their judgement...but they probably don’t believe in that either.
This cleric needs a Bible (he only need read the first chapter of the first book, too.......)
“1:27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
1:28 And God blessed them; and God said unto them: ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,...:
———————what’s so hard about that?
What the heck is happening to my Church? Where is Our Lord’s promise to St Peter that the Gates of Hell won’t prevail?
Fools playing God.
Cupich said months ago that he would not tell gay couples that they should not receive Communion.
The Pope just appointed Cupich a Cardinal.
The Pope is not a Catholic.
I didn't say it did...
The scripture you quoted has what to do with what I posted...?
They drew a lottery to pick the replacement for Judas guided by the Holy Spirit...?
That's the context of the passage and to draw some other conclusion is silly at best...
Those rogue church leaders would face less condemnation if they cast off their filthy robes and went fishing instead. They will especially pay in Hell for misleading people.
Both Old and New Testaments leave no doubt in multiple verses that homosexuality is a deadly sin. There is no gray area or room for interpretation - homosexuality is sin. Period! It is one of things so evident that Catholics, Protestants and Jews can all agree on.
