On June 17th, a socialist politician, Herbert Pfeffer, staged his gay pseudo-marriage with a certain Mathias Goldhahn in front of the town administration of Traismauer, Austria. The parish-priest, Fr Wolfgang Payrich, was present and blessed the gay-pseudo-marriage, Austrian media writes.
Fr Payrich belongs to the Augustinians of Herzogenburg, near St Pölten, and is the spiritual assistant of the St Pölten Diocese's Family Association. The diocese is run by Opus Dei Bishop Klaus Küng (76).
Another Austrian parish priest, Fr Christoph Pernter, a Norbertine from Innsbruck, hailed Fr Payrich's gay-blessing on Facebook saying that it is important, that homosexuals can live their love with Gods blessing.
St Pölten moral theologian Fr Josef Spindelböck stated on Facebook that gay pseudo-marriages are now also blessed by the Church, adding: This is not possible according to a Catholic understanding.
The Vatican can do little about the attitude of Priests who decide to ignore Church teaching.
What they can do is exercise CHURCH DISCIPLINE. What are they going to do about this?
Sure it can. Bergoglio just won't allow it.
Faggots are the bane of the Church.
