Saint Bonifatius (+755) did neither dance around the Donar’s Oak nor embraced it, but cut it down and used its wood to make a cross and a chapel.
Regensburg Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer, Germany, said this in an October 31 homily. He presented Bonifatius in contrast to the recent Vatican Pachamama ceremonies which have “not been purified nor transformed” according to Catholic piety.
Voderholzer further defended celibacy calling it impossible to create exceptional cases for second class regions, “In such an important questions there cannot and will not be only regional solutions.”
Voderholzer then attacked a recent statement of Essen Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck who declared that access to the priesthood cannot depend on a Y-chromosome.
However, the difference between man and woman cannot be reduced to "an Y-chromosome," Voderholzer observed saying that as a bishop Overbeck should have explained the Catholic teaching instead of restricting his view to genetics.

It has become obvious to me that the Pope and his allies do not care about Catholic teaching, Catholic tradition, Canon law nor God himself.
This lamentable pontificate--- and all its pomps, and all its works --- is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen in my life. Even 5 years ago I could not have imagined such apostasy at the top was even possible. If it were not an abomination, it could be satirized as "silly on stilts".
But *is* an abomination with all that word implies: and I pray God will deal with it justly, and soon.

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
Let us hope for a quick correction of these heretics and not the destruction. But if the correction is not soon coming then the swift destruction.
Sadly, my fears were correct.
This Pope is moving so quickly I think he must fear a counter revolution like the communist always do.
