German Homosex "Blessings" Are in Communion With Leo XIV - Monsignor Bätzing

"I utterly reject the insinuation that we in Germany are practising episcopal disobedience towards Rome, or embarking on a confrontational course with Rome." Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, president of the German Bishops' Conference, made this statement on Thursday at the close of the bishops' meeting in Fulda.

"This is simply an unfounded construct and does not reflect my statement or the efforts of all the bishops."

On Monday, Bishop Bätzing had said that the German bishops would not withdraw their guidelines for "blessing" homosex couples.

Bishop Bätzing explained: "In the interview, the Pope made it unmistakably clear that 'Fiducia Supplicans' will not be withdrawn. The German guidelines, ‘Blessings give love strength’, are a pastoral realisation of 'Fiducia supplicans', developed in consultation with the Roman Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, tailored to the German context."

The Italian media then ran headlines saying that the German Church was practising "episcopal disobedience".

Woe to these bishops who cheer on those who are running toward hell. Instead of doing their job they do the biddings of Satan.

Cowardly cardinals who are too scared to call out Prevost resort to criticizing German bishops. But he is right: Germans are united with Prevost in their disobedience to teaching of Church

The worst persecution comes from those wolves who have taken over our Church. Those prelates who remain faithful will be thrown out on the street and beg for food. At that point we will need to help them. God will sustain His Remnant Church.

All of Germany should be placed under the bane of Papal interdiction. Laicize the whole horde of apostate so-called Bishops and Priests, and suppress every Religious Order in rebellion, and excommunicate every member of the laity who rejects the immutable Doctrine of Holy Mother Church.
