On Palm Sunday 2019, Christiane Kreienkamp a pastoral minister in Dingden (Münster Diocese, Germany) dressed up in a priestly alb, and presided a penitential service.
At the end, she held a purple stole lengthwise in front of her and claimed before the audience: "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
Father Paul Spätling, a priest of the same diocese, described the incident in a May 16 letter to Gloria.tv and the German bishops.
Münster Bishop Felix Genn, a close collaborator of Cardinal Hans Urs von Balthasar (+1988), replied when asked about the incident: "That was not right. However, apart from that Mrs. Kreienberg is doing a good job (!) in the church. We have to leave it as it is."
At the same time, Genn took away the "job" from a priest and leader of the Marian Movement of Priests in Germany. He had spoken "too often" about confession.

If she says that to a blind person, and after that she says that, the blind person can suddenly see. And she does that same thing several times in a row, then I would have no problems with this situation.

The crucial word being the first one you wrote: "If"... Until then, Catholics darn well should have a problem, both with her, with the priest who's lost control of his own parish, and the lunatic bishop who supports such a travesty

Am I not sarcastic enough then? 😂 😂 😂
The crucial word is '''I"" Not even Jesus said """I""".
Jesus would say: Luke 5.... and he having seen their faith, said to him, `Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'More

No, Jesus said " I AM"

I mean Jesus would not say I in this context. What am I dealing with? 🥶
