Please Protest: The Bishop of Trier, Germany, Prohibits an Old Latin Requiem for a Dead Priest
(Picture: Bishop Ackermann is blessed in 2012 by a protestant Priestess)
Last Friday, Father Adolf Mohr (86) of Rheinböllen, Germany, died from cancer. After his retirement he returned to the Old Latin Rite of his youth. In his will he expressed the wish to be buried in this rite. His parish priest guaranteed him in writ that his wish would be respected.
But Trier Bishop Stephan Ackermann forbad the requiem. Ackermann is considered a radical who likes to speak about mercy.
Fr Mohr’s funeral will be on Friday, against his wish, in the new rite.
Please help to prevent this disrespect of a priest’s last will. Protest now by writing in polite English:
