Large parts of the institutional church in Germany are Arian, iconoclastic, Protestantising, anti-sacramental and secularised, German writer Martin Mosebach told Una Voce Korrespondenz.
In contrast to the past, those faithful people who used to forced a return to the faith, are missing today. The Catholic religion has become unknown even among its remaining followers.
The institutional Church has become "intimately amalgamated" with the overpowering, anti-religious forces in the economy and politics and is in Germany on the verge of collapse: "It is as hollow as a termite's burrow and, in the stupidity and tastelessness of its representatives, does not even appeal to modernist liberals."
Mosebach emphasises that a Catholic should not fear the apostasy of the institutional German Church, but rather long for it. There is no longer a basis for the much-vaunted "dialogue".
Mosebach finds a decline throughout the West, even in once quintessentially Catholic countries such as Ireland, Italy …More

The German Church is doing much of Bergoglio's dirty work for him.
Jorge would be particularly happy with the way they are moving.
No way will he be disciplining them!!! In fact Bergoglio's heretical words and anti-Catholic actions have given the Germans the brazen audacity to take the directions they have, since he presumed the Chair in March, 2013. The current German Church is part of the Francis …More

Notwithstanding the fact that the term “apostasy” makes its way into the new catechism, and the new code of canon law, it is not a term that has much meaning to the modernists, no? If Arthur Roche can say that a person who prefers the TLM, in defiance of the edicts of the reigning powers, is a Protestant, then the only apostate is the one who completely rejects the authority of the reigning regime …More
Notwithstanding the fact that the term “apostasy” makes its way into the new catechism, and the new code of canon law, it is not a term that has much meaning to the modernists, no? If Arthur Roche can say that a person who prefers the TLM, in defiance of the edicts of the reigning powers, is a Protestant, then the only apostate is the one who completely rejects the authority of the reigning regime. At this point, apostasy has nothing to do with actually rejecting the entirety Faith, which is happening left and right, with no repercussions. I appreciate the Professor Mosebach still clings to the hermeneutic of continuity, but unless something changes in a big way, there is no way that Rome will cut ties with the German hierarchy, or even censure them in a meaningful way. I wish I were wrong, but I would be shocked if any real discipline will be meted out.
