Bishop Michael Gerber of Fulda, Germany, wrote on Diocese-Fulda.de after a April 17 meeting with Francis that the conversation, which lasted more than thirty minutes, was marked by "understanding, dialogue and trusting exchange" and "without time pressure".
Given the tensions with the bishops of the German Synod Church, "dialogue" was very important to Francis, he said. The topics discussed were Fulda diocese, the German Synod Church and the universal Church.
The audience was granted at short notice. Gerber is in Rome for talks on priestly formation. Francis only engages in "dialogue" with enemies of the faith, never with Catholics.
Gerber is in favour of the invalid ordinations of women, of homosexualism and against celibacy.
Ping
Just as long as it is not in Latin.
After a decades of this nonsense, it should be obvious to one and all that Bergoglio basically thinks that the Germans are right. If there’s any space between them, it’s simply on timing or strategy.
