There is a “serious rift” between the German bishops about the recent introduction of Communion for Protestants, reports the Kölner Stadtanzeiger (April 4).
On February 22, two-thirds of the German bishops "allowed" Protestants to receive Holy Communion.

Let me understand: I, as a Catholic, need to believe in the reality of the sacrament and to confess (with another sacrament) my sins in order to receive the Holy Communion. Instead, in Germany, a Protestant, who does not believe in the very reality or validity of those sacraments (an invention of the anti-Christic papacy, according to Luther), can freely go for it, because: feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel …More

Or, in the word of our current pope: "These are only interpretations!"
I'm sick and tired of these clowns.

I appreciate this true and significant explanation of their decision: "...offending Catholic doctrine and Church unity."
