Cardinal, Bishops, Priests Ask Pope to Stop Schism of Catholic Church in Germany

The Church in Germany is 'daily tending' towards 'declared schism and heresy.'

May 6, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A cardinal, two bishops, and a dozen priests are asking Pope Francis to intervene to stop the Catholic church in Germany from going into “schism” by continuing on its heretical Synodal Path and thereby separating itself from the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded by Christ.

“The German Synodal Path, initiated in 2019, has been, during the past two years, fertile ground for the planning and subsequent homogenization of ideas and theories that are blatantly contrary to the immutable and perennial Magisterium of the Holy Catholic Church, founded by the Divine Savior on the solid rock of the Apostles,” the appeal states.

“Concerned about this sad situation, we Pastors of the Catholic Church and faithful laity committed to the defense of the Truth of the Faith, ask the Holy Father to take the necessary measures to put an end to these drifts of the German Synodal Path and, if necessary, to apply the appropriate canonical sanctions against the promoters of this tremendous deviation from both doctrine and communion with the Keys of Peter,” it adds.

The May 5 appeal is signed by Bishop Emeritus of Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen, Kazakhstan Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Switzerland Bishop Marian Eleganti, 12 priests, including U.S. canon lawyer Fr. Gerald Murray, and more than 50 other laymen and women in the fields of law, teaching, and health. The appeal first appeared on Marco Tosatti’s blog Stilum Curiae.

The appeal lays out the main errors being promoted by the Synodal Path, largely involving a departure from the Church’s teaching on marriage and sexual morality.

I’ve read in the foreign press that most people think that Bergoglio will simply ignore it. He’s fine with what they’re doing, but he can’t openly approve it and obviously doesn’t want to condemn it. So he’s going to leave it up to the German bishops and pretend it has nothing to do with Rome. That’s what this whole “synodal path” thing is all about. Abdication of responsibility.

It’s easy to see that this poop is satanic imposter.
I’m not even Catholic. It’s the spirit of the anti-Christ descending upon the earth. And it’s not just the Pope that is spiritually gone to the evil side:
