The simple truth is that the Vatican Diplomatic Corps has had too much influence since the papacy of Paul VI. This is why almost nothing was done to address the problems of the church in Germany.

The Church is now more interested in expansion via the Diplomatic Corps than propagating the faith. The main theme of the Church right now is detente with secular cultures / governments.

In this detente strategy believing Catholics are being sacrificed.

We are still living in the Church of Paul VI
