The decadent German Church once again finds itself on the crossroads: will the Bishops finally obey the Pope or will they regard him as a fool?
[Kreuz.net, Fulda] Today the President of the German Bishops Conference, Archbishop Robert Zollitsch of Freiburg, held the findings of the complete assembly of the Bishops Conference, which took place this week in Fulda.
A press text from the website of the German Bishops Conference was published.
The Bishops turn everything to sex
According to the Bishops, future dialogue will be directed to the supposedly "bulky themes".
As an example, they will address the relentless journalist litany of sex, priest sex and the dispensing of sacraments for adulterers.

Translated by a macbine? Whatever this is, it’s not intelligible English.
This is apparently the original.

It says that “for the bishops, everything has to do with sex” not “turn everything to sex.” Whoever translated this doesn’t know that “dreht sich” is reflexive. A computer at least would distinguish a reflexive from a simple transitive verb. Must have been translated by someone with half-a-grasp of German.
And “today . . . held the results” translates “praesentierte . . . die Ergebnisse”
Oh, and “bulky themes” — “sperrige Themen” — someone looked up sperrig in a dictionary and chose “bulky”—what it means in this context is things that gum up the works, block, pose obstacles. Yeah, bulky things do that. But “bulky themes” is a pretty darn sperrige way of speaking English.
Panzy.
We never get good translations from him.
