[Catholic Caucus] Niet! Bishop Bätzing Puts Francis in His Place

The German church tax bishops are adamant about setting up a "Synodal Committee", said the presiding bishop, Bätzing, at a March 2 press conference.

Until now, the governing body of clergy and laity planned on the Anglican model was called "Synodal Council". The plans have been categorically rejected by the Vatican via Nuncio Eterović but of course without threatening any consequences.

Bätzing explicitly distanced himself from Francis: "Here I say: Holy Father, you can bring that up, yes. But you cannot demand that people accept it."

According to Kna.de, he admitted that Eterović's objection had triggered "fierce debates among the bishops".

Eterović's arguments against an [invalid] ordination of women were also "almost unbearable" for Bätzing to listen to, he said.

Finally, Bätzing made a "personal" plea for a sacrilegical "blessing" for persons practising homosexuality.

Why won't orthodox bishops offer that same resistance to Bergoglio regarding his irrational, tyrannical Traditionis Custodes?
