This year, the Cologne Trifolium, a three-man Carnival delegation, visited the Archbishop's House only in two, because the Carnival Prince, Christian II, fell ill.
Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki, 63, found a solution: "As Cardinal I am practically Crown Prince. I can easily take over that position," he said.
Woelki put his promise into practice and performed, on January 14, with the Trifolium at a visit in St. Josef parish, Braunsfeld.
According to Bild.de, Woelki was visibly moved: "To be a prince for once! Already as a little boy I dreamed about this. It's the greatest thing for me to be a carnival prince once in my life!"

Shame on you @RomanCandle for being a liar and deceiver
The apostate PROGAY Woelki argued that people who have been divorced and remarried should be allowed to receive Communion. On homosexuality, he said, “If I take seriously the Catechism, I cannot see homosexual relations only as a denial of natural law.

Shame on you @RomanCandle for being a liar and deceiver
The apostate PROGAY Woelki argued that people who have been divorced and remarried should be allowed to receive Communion. On homosexuality, he said, “If I take seriously the Catechism, I cannot see homosexual relations only as a denial of natural law. I also understand that there are people who take long-term mutual responsibility, who promise fidelity and want to take care of each other. So I urge finally that we find a way to allow people to live without going against the teachings of the Church.”
He told homosexualist activists in Germany that he was ready to “dialogue” with them. “When two gay people assume mutual responsibility,” he said, “if they have a true and long term relationship, we must consider this relationship in the same way as straight a link.”
In October 2012 Cardinal Woelki was nominated for a Respect Award by the Alliance Against Homophobia. He was praised by the group for speaking out in favor of a 'new cooperation with homosexuals in society' and officially meeting the Association for Gays and Lesbians for talks.
