The organ of the German episcopate regrets the existence of priests who do not bless gay couples

Christoph Paul Hartmann deplores on Katolische.de that there is no "unified approach" among the German clergy on the blessing of homosexual couples or those not united by Catholic marriage.

At the bottom of every heretic, of every 'dissident', there is always an ordinancer who wants to convert orthodoxy into dissent and then ban it. The German episcopate has already defied Rome and, above all, the unanimous Tradition of the universal Church by blessing regularized sodomy with a rite yet to be standardized, despite the express prohibition of the Holy See.

But it is not enough for them. It does not seem enough to them to allow what the responsum signed by Ladaria with the approval of the Pope describes as "blessing sin", but rather they intend to find a way to force all priests to become accomplices and perpetrators of this scandal.

Thus, Christoph Paul Hartmann writes in Katolisch.de, the official organ of the German episcopate, that it is useless to develop a unified ritual to 'bless' irregular couples as long as there is no "general acceptance of this type of celebration on the part of of church leaders.

Hartmann recalls that the German synod accepted the blessing of gay or sacramentally unmarried couples by a vote of 81% of the bishops, which, in this neo-church that has the popular will as the main source of Revelation, should be definitive, a kind of "Berlinus locutus, finite cause". And yet, Hartmann laments, whether they are actually carried out is ultimately up to each pastor.

“Therefore, it is quite possible that even after giving alms, a couple who wishes to be blessed in the parish office may have to be turned away because they live in the 'wrong' diocese. But it can also be due to the "wrong" pastor, says the journalist. "Because the guidelines also specify that no one can be forced to preside over this celebration."

And that, of course, cannot be. Unity must be imposed at all costs, while unity with the rest of the Church does not seem to matter in the slightest. Thus, Hartmann suggests, “The church in Germany needs a clear line of what works and what doesn't. Anything else would cause even more disappointment and pain than what has already happened. The reins of action are in the hands of the bishops, they must decide to adopt a unified approach.

And thus the heterodoxy will not be merely tolerated, first, and tacitly accepted, later, but obligatory perhaps in not a long time.

Romans 1:18-32 tells why this fruit is found in lives. They do not glorify the Lord nor are they thankful. They give glory to creations instead.

What they don’t ban, they want to make compulsory.

Ping

Bergolio allows these apostate German bishops and priests bless homosexual “unions”, but any orthodox priest who wishes to offer the TLM must have personal permission from Humble Jorge and if granted, which is very rare, the Mass may not be offered in a parish church.

Bergoglio is pushing traditional Catholics to the peripheries while welcoming sodomites.

the article said ....” disappointment and pain “

“depart from me , ye that work iniquity, I never knew you.”

That will be “ disappointment and pain “.

I really respected the Catholic Church when JP II was Pope. Not anymore.

Thus, Hartmann suggests, “The church in Germany needs a clear line of what works and what doesn't.

The Church has been clear about this for two thousand years. Accept the Catholic faith or be honest enough to leave.
