As expected, the anti-Catholic German Synod voted Thursday and Friday to abolish Catholicism.
On Thursday, it approved a paper that aims at reducing the “power” of a diocesan bishop, in contradiction of Vatican II and the institution of the apostles by Christ.
On Friday morning the same ideologists voted (yes: 159; no: 26; abstentions: 7) to call on Francis to abolish celibacy and even to allow already ordained priests to marry. In the afternoon, they voted (yes: 174; no: 30; abstentions: 6) to call on Francis to introduce [invalid] ordinations of women. This vote was followed by a long smug applause.
Speakers at the Synod played on emotions by hyping their “state of shock” caused by the controversial Munich abuse report which also slanders Benedict XVI. These are the same people who only decades before considered the legalisation of pederasty part of "sexual liberation."
The results are not binding, not even for the anti-Catholic German Church Tax Church. They will be dealt with in a further meeting before the end of the Synod in 2023.
To put things into perspective: A vote over the question whether a layperson can "preside a valid Eucharist" would also have received a yes majority at the same Synod.
German Sin-Nod Ping
Men without faith pretending that they have a good handle on where the faith goes, truly the blind leading the blind.
Anathema sit!
They should all just become “Ecopaliens.”
What that is - is a pissed-off Episcopalian.
They already believe in all that malarkey.
