President Of German Bishops Reckons: “God Does Not Punish”

Limburg Bishop Georg Bätzing, the president of the German Bishops’, cannot understand "people" who consider the coronavirus as God's punishment, he said in a April 23 homily, and went even a step further,

“My God has not known such thoughts since Jesus died for us; that is when God made his decision for life: God does not punish,” he fantasised.

Bätzing is not the only bishop who denies Catholic doctrine about divine punishment as expressed in Hebrews 12:5-7 says:

"You have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, 'My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when your are reproved by him; for those whom the Lord loves he disciplines, and he scourges every son whom he receives.' It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?"

Just like the words of Padre Pio in the confessional when a man told him,
“ I do not believe that there is a Hell”.
The saintly Padre replied, “You will when you get there!”

God (unlike you, vain Prelate) does not alter.
Get back down on your knees, and know that when your time comes YOU TOO will incurr the same Just punishment for your sins that Sacred Scripture clearly documents will face the entire population of the world you inhabit. Since your Jesus does not punish, it is clear that you are serving the wrong one.

Christ was "The Word whom became Flesh" St John declare in the Gospel of St John Chapter One

"[14] For while all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, [15] Thy almighty Word leapt down from Heaven from Thy Royal Throne, as a fierce conqueror into the midst of the land of destruction. [16] With a sharp sword carrying Thy unfeigned commandment, and He stood and filled all things with death, and standing on the earth reached even to Heaven."

It is not easy to draw the line anywhere; that is why it is so necessary to draw the line somewhere.

"My God has not known such thoughts since Jesus died for us" Oh, the monstrous arrogance in presuming to know the thoughts of the Almighty God. That's a whole new level of ego, even for a German.

God surely wouldn't punish mankind, I'm sure. After all, what have we done wrong?

There are no powers outside of God's jurisdiction that can act independently. Our God is not a God who wills to have naught to do with the affairs of men. Since the Catholic Faith is one of reason, there is a reason for what befalls us. I believe this nasty virus is an evil. I believe God permitted it. As he is not a malicious God he permits it for our correction. So I believe it is a punishment …More

There is of course one other consideration which might confirm his stance. What if Bishop Batzing is not a son of our Father?

"You have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, 'My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when your are reproved by him; for those whom the Lord loves he disciplines, and he scourges every son whom he receives.' It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?"
