The German Franciscans elected Father Markus Fuhrmann as their new Provincial Minister on 8 June. A few weeks earlier he had announced to the world that he had adopted a homosexual identity.
Talking to the oligarchs' Mk-Online.de (June 11), Fuhrmann demands that the Church abolish celibacy and introduce the [invalid] ordination of women and homosexuality, "The way this morality [= divine revelation] has been officially taught so far, it doesn't serve life [= lust]. It must change, respectively, develop further."
We as a Church are "colourful" [= immoral], the Church is (also) "queer" [= off the mark], God [= the devil] wants that, this corresponds to the "diversity of creation" [= confusion] and is "quite normal" [= in line with the oligarchs].
Needless to say, Fuhrmann is an advocate of the German synodal cul-de-sac. The German Franciscans count 300 scattered members. 60 of them were entitled to vote for Fuhrmann, 15 of them are under 50.

The Catholic Church is in deep, deep trouble. God’s church as a whole is in deep, deep trouble. The Pope need to go.
He won’t find immorality. Instead he will die in the mortality of sin. (And have to answer to Jesus about why he did not follow the rules of the Church.
Read Job and hold onto your hat. God is always in control even when sinful men seem to be in control. Hitler...Soviets...Napoleon...Francis...Trump...
What a crazy grouping! But bad or good guys, God is in control and they are not, just free will actors, sinners.
Repent. Prayer and mortification as Jesus demonstrated...
God’s mystery...trust him.
A dying order embracing the culture of death.
I hate to say it, but they all look exceedingly cheerful.
Praying for holy priests, brothers, nuns, etc.
