The plenary meeting of the 'International Commission for Theological Dialogue' with the Orientals in Rome in January was supposed to be about Our Lady.
But the Orientals wanted to talk about Francis' homosexual propaganda piece 'Fiducia supplicans', Cardinal Kurt Koch told Die-Tagespost.de (23 May).
So the Cardinal invited Tucho Fernández to the meeting. But the coward "could not come" in person and only sent a written statement, which the Orientals described as "insufficient".
Before having caused a schism in the Catholic Church, the homosex issue has already divided the Anglicans. At Koch's recent meeting with Anglican lay bishops, the African representatives were absent. The reason: Canterbury pushes for homosex-propaganda and the Anglican ordination of women.
"Talking to [lay] Archbishop Welby, I had to say frankly that we have similar tensions in the Catholic Church over the same issues," admits Cardinal Koch.
He warned that "there are quite a few bishops in Germany, Switzerland and other countries who are resolutely calling for the ordination of women and are actually making the future viability of the Catholic Church dependent on it."
These are all bishops who preside over dioceses that are kept artificially alive by state church taxes. Without this money, these dioceses would collapse within weeks because the faith is utterly eroded, especially among the bishops and the priests who are worldly and secularised.

I do wonder if the state of the Church doesn’t falsify governance by the Hiky Spirit.
Finally, someone said it! Nobody should follow the German bishops; they all preside over churches that don't have to be responsive to the laity because the government foots the bill ... a horrible system, IMO.
Has anyone ever claimed that the Holy Spirit “governs” the Church? Considering all the bad popes and schisms and screwups over the centuries, it’s pretty obvious that “governs” would be a real stretch. Benedict 16 used to say that at best we can say that the Holy Spirit prevents things from going completely off the rails. One could argue that we’re already seeing that in the stunning rise of the church-within-a-church Latin mass subculture of which Harrison Butker and the tens of thousands of Catholics who showed up last week in Chartres France last week for a huge outdoor Latin mass

Fiducia Supplicans…
Had that once on my toenails.
Very difficult to kill.
