Rejecting the Bible and common sense, the German Synod adopted on March 11 a text on gender ideology. Only 7 bishops voted against, 13 abstained.
The ludicrous document claims that the ordination of "intersex" (sic) and transvestites should not be ruled out but should be considered on a "case-by-case basis.”
This means that a woman who believes she is a "man" would be [invalidly] ordained as a "man." Conversely, a man who dresses as a woman could become a priest.
According to the Germans, any assessment of the state of the "external" [= real] sexual characteristics of candidates for the priesthood is to be "abolished." Religious communities should allow access to people of the opposite sex.
Münster Auxiliary Bishop Stefan Zekorn criticised the text for being “almost entirely" based on gender ideology and said it was wrong to speak of the "gender variants" male and female, as the text does, because "99.38% of the population are not variants."

This is the kind of official insanity you only used to see in books about the decline and fall of Rome. And yet here we are seeing it play out in our own lives.
Prepare for the fall, it won’t be long now...
If the MSM can intimidate people into saying they “believe” (they really don’t mean it, but they go along with the crowd and say it) a man, by putting on a dress, will become a woman; then, we know there is no limit to what is possible to intimidate people into saying.
So, what comes next? What will anyone speaking on TV in the future say they believe, when in reality we all know that no one actually does? And, will anyone have the courage to stop the slide into utter madness, by simply saying “No”?
I’m sure that right at this moment there are leftists imagining the next insane required “belief”. And, when it is handed off to fellow travelers in the MSM, we will soon see important people mouth such non sense.
Who are the seven opposing Bishops?
Iis that all?
Like wack-a-mole, God puts down these things eventually, either directly or sin devours itself eventually.
