On February 22, two-thirds of the German bishops "allowed" Protestants to receive Holy Communion.
Against that decision, six bishops and Cologne Cardinal Rainer Woelki wrote recently a letter to both, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Council for Christian Unity.
The seven prelates call the decision illegitimate, offending Catholic doctrine and Church unity. According to them, the bishops’ conference has exceeded its competence.
