Diversionary Tactic: German Bishops Will "Not" Declare Schism

"There will be no schism, and none of the bishops in Germany has ever wanted one," wrote Bishop Heiner Wilmer of Hildesheim in Communio.de (28 February).

Wilmer, a smart and slim homosex-activist in blue jeans, acts like a politician, and one can only believe a politician when he denies something.

He was to be prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, but after internal opposition Francis appointed the pornographer Tucho Fernández.

In his article, Wilmer argues for more "open discussion" [=denial of the faith] and "mutual understanding" [=lack of understanding for Catholics] and "trust" between the German dioceses and other countries, including the Vatican. He wants to avoid the narrative of "Rome against Germany" or "Germany against Rome".

Wilmer went on to say that the German bishops are loyal [German: "loyal"] to the Pope. The term "loyal" comes from French "loi" (law) and conceals a legalistic misunderstanding of the Church. With "Pope" Wilmer excludes all popes, except Francis.

Just the day before, another German bishop, Monsignor Bertram Meier of Augsburg - a so-called "conservative" who celebrates Roman Rite ordinations for the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter - declared at an ecumenical meeting that "no church has leased the truth". Thus, he admitted that his group has lost contact with the truth and therefore with Christ who is the truth.

I think their plan is to declare traditionalists in schism.

I think that is the Traditionis custodes “end game.” It would only expose their pettiness, as they are attacking a small minority of Catholics, while offering them no serious alternatives. Taking away the TLM will bring very few back to Novus Ordo Land, but will be a boon to the SSPX and sedevacantists. Also, has anyone looked at vocations numbers? New York has 24 seminarians this year. Chicago …More

New York has 24 seminarians this year. Chicago has 31. Then there are dioceses like Boston, Philadelphia, Denver, DC and a few others whose numbers are greatly inflated by have the Neo-Catechumenal Way. The Novus Ordo Church is on life support, and telling potential diocesan priests that they won’t be able to say the TLM isn’t helping matters.

Germany has been in de facto schism for some time now. It just hasn’t been officially declared and acknowledged as such. And, of course, there have been no meaningful corrective measures taken against them as a consequence of their longstanding apostasy, nor any serious accountability held of their leadership.

Germany has been in de facto schism for some time now. It just hasn’t been officially declared and acknowledged as such. And, of course, there have been no meaningful corrective measures taken against them as a consequence of their longstanding apostasy, nor any serious accountability held of their leadership. But there can be no doubt whatsoever: the German Church has departed horribly from the Faith and from filial submission to the Holy Father (and I’m not just talking about the current one, either).
