Jesuit Cardinal Hollerich of Luxembourg and Bishop Bätzing of Limburg have both called for changes to the Church’s teaching on homosexuality in recent interviews.
VATICAN CITY — Cardinal George Pell has called on the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) to publicly reprimand two of Europe’s most senior bishops for what he said was their “wholesale and explicit rejection” of the Church’s teaching on sexual ethics.
In a statement released March 15, Cardinal Pell asked the Vatican’s doctrinal congregation to “intervene and pronounce judgment” on comments made by Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, the relator general of the Vatican Synod on Synodality, and Bishop Georg Bätzing, president of the German Bishops’ Conference.
Cardinal Pell had made the appeal a few days earlier, in an interview given to the German Catholic television agency K-TV on March 11.
Jesuit Cardinal Hollerich of Luxembourg and Bishop Bätzing of Limburg have both called for changes to the Church’s teaching on homosexuality in recent interviews.
Cardinal Hollerich, who presides over much of the Synod on Synodality that runs until October next year, claimed last month that the current teaching was “wrong” and that the “the sociological-scientific foundation” of that teaching, on what “one formerly condemned as sodomy,” was “no longer correct.”
Bishop Bätzing argued in a March 4 interview that same-sex relationships were permissible and not a sin and that the Catechism should be partially changed to reflect this.
The two prelates also vowed not to dismiss any homosexual priests or lay employees from their dioceses. “Nobody has to be afraid to lose his job” for reasons of homosexuality, said Bishop Bätzing. “How someone lives their personal intimacy is none of my business.”

Cardinal Pell, yet another one who has been SMASHED and ruined for simply being a good man.
Gravely Disordered.
If God permitted it, He wouldn’t love them.
Maybe God needs to apologize to the people of Sodam and Gomorrah.
