The German Synodal way, which started with its first session (Thursday to Saturday) in Frankfurt, implements “a quasi Protestant church parliament,” Cologne Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki told Die-Tagespost.de (February 1).
"All my fears have come true," he said, noticing that, at the Synod, the Church’s ecclesiological foundations are “no longer relevant” but a Protestant understanding of the Church is being implemented.
According to Woelki, "this makes it increasingly difficult to detect the elements which constitute the Catholic Church." For him, the Church's hierarchical structure is being undermined.
Woelki criticised that on Saturday morning a liturgy of the word, run mainly by women, was performed in Frankfurt Cathedral “although so many bishops and priests were present.”

"and poor church hygienic practices in every Catholic Church worldwide..."
A question Thors Catholic Hammer Have you visited every Catholic Church world wide? No? Are you quoting some reputable source for that claim? Someone who has? No?
Oh. So you're just making it up again like usual. It's also an insult to every hard-working woefully understaffed group of parishioners who freely give up …More

Oh. So you're just making it up again like usual. It's also an insult to every hard-working woefully understaffed group of parishioners who freely give up their own spare time to keep their church clean.
Maybe your Chruch is pig-sty, what does that say about you?

I said poor church hygienic practices.
As usual you misinterpret it to mean the physical condition of churches.
That is not what was meant and the context of my post would have led any reasonable person to infer that I was alluding to liturgical practices in connection with Holy Communion reception and hand hygiene etc.
These catholic liturgical practices are indeed worldwide and leave a lot to be …More

You need to widen your focus and stop being so narrow minded.

"I said poor church hygienic practices."
You said: "poor church hygienic practices in every Catholic Church worldwide."
Not just "poor hygienic practices". You claimed the exist (your words verbatim) "in every Catholic Church worldwide."
Now either prove your claim, or retract it. Show they exist "in every Catholic Church worldwide."
If not, as usual, you're telling another lie. Another fabricating …More

"That is not what was meant and the context of my post would have led any reasonable person to infer...
What you "meant" is not what you "said". That distinction appeared only when I forced you to support your claim.
...and your "any reasonable person" appears as phantom support every time you're caught out in a lie.
Any reasonable person would infer that "every Catholic Church worldwide" refers to "every Catholic Church worldwide" because that's what the phrase means!
It doesn't mean you were "alluding to liturgical practices in connection with... etc. etc.)
You need to stand by what you say and be ready to prove it.
You do this on GTV all the time. You discredit yourself.
Flailing about desperately with "Everyone knows" "Most rational people would recognize..." or "Any reasonable person" doesn't magicallly lift you out of the muck of your own falsehoods.

Woelki would do better to confront the actual problems facing the church such as a dysfunctional papacy and poor church hygienic practices in every Catholic Church worldwide..
Pope Benedict is experimenting with a collegial style papacy and “Francis” is the guinea pig.
As an experiment it has failed so time for His Holiness Pope Benedict to end it
