Nordic Bishops Rebuke the Germans

The Nordic Bishops’ Conference is concerned about the German Synodal Way, the bishops write in a letter to presiding German Bishop Bätzing (NordicBishopsConference.org, March 9).

Signed by prelates such as Kozon (Copenhagen), Arborelius (Stockholm), Eidsvig (Trondheim), Tencer (Reykjavik), Grgic, (Tromsø), most of the letter is soft-spoken, acknowledges the German missionaries, and thanks for the cash, the Scandinavian dioceses received from Germany.

Nevertheless, the letter says that the Church's Faith must be preserved intact and that “we must stop short” of issues challenging “unchangeable parts of the Church's teaching” like priesthood, female ordination and immoral concepts of sexuality.

“True reform of the Church has always consisted in defending, explaining and putting into credible practice Catholic doctrine founded on divine revelation and authentic Tradition - not in following the spirit of the times“, they write.

Already the Polish bishops had to explain to the Germans that their homosex propaganda conveys "a false image of man" and is an "ideological delusion."

She came to tell them to get a move on with the picture taking, because the lunch she cooked for them all was getting cold

Quote: “Throughout the world, a number of Catholics ask questions about the lifestyle and formation of priests, the role of women in the Church, the range of views on human sexuality, etc,” the Nordic bishops wrote.
“In the legitimate search for answers to the questions of our time, we must nonetheless respect boundaries set by topics that stand for unchangeable aspects of the Church’s teaching.”
“It has ever been the case that true reforms in the Church have set out from Catholic teaching founded on divine Revelation and authentic Tradition, to defend it, expound it, and translate it credibly into lived life — not from capitulation to the Zeitgeist. How fickle the Zeitgeist is, is something we verify on a daily basis.”
