Edit: these are satirical levels of cluelessness. Maybe Germans don't care about gender politics and the decadent and failing tax church?Former President of the German Bishops' Conference states that there are mostly empty halls despite prominent politicians: "This will have to be carefully examined."
Leipzig (kath.net/KNA) Concerned about some half-empty halls despite the presence of prominent politicians has drawn comment from the Catholic Cardinal Karl Lehmann. "This will have to be carefully examined," said the former President of the German Bishops' Conference on Friday evening in Leipzig. With appearances by such as the Federal Minister Thomas de Maiziere (CDU) and Andrea Nahles (SPD) many places stayed empty.
Lehmann named as potential causes not only "the usual disenchantment", but also "a bit far hopelessness". Some people choose to withdraw from current issues. But he can see a danger in that their interest be declining permanently.

Why a flop? Maybe because is not Catholic?
ReplyDeleteI think it's his hat.
ReplyDeleteThe hostile 'elites', both religious and secular, who delinquently rule over us seem to have difficulty understanding what we ordinary folks are saying to them. Yes, we are loosing interest, possibly permanently, in their failed institutions.

One's "interest" in Church cannot be lost due to bad shepherds, if one is truly a Christian. Christ is the head of the Church and His words are eternal Truth. Build your house on the rock of Truth.

The German tax church and the Churh established by Christ have almost no discernible contacts in common.
DeleteSadly, that seems to be the case.

Delete"Hostile elites"-- nicely stated. It shows the distance sing "The Revolt of the Elites."
But don't forget their institutions are our institutions. And they are going to choke off all institutions but the True One, and even then, as we now see, it is a close run thing. Let us keep on speaking the true and praying.
Better off staying home and having a beer. But they'll keep up the fares until the money runs out.
ReplyDeleteEverything has been in the toilet since Vatican II.
If you're catholic nothing for you--all 'new evangelization' to pagan devil worship (ht/EF): "UPDATE 26 May 2016 : On May 26, 2016 MP Volker Beck at Catholic Day in Leipzig "Leave the mosque in the village - religious politics in 2016. MP Volker Beck has campaigned for years against the Catholic Church and named Cardinal Meisner a 'Hate preacher.' On 25 May 2016, Beck demanded the opening of marriage to homosexual couples. The Greens as a party are also represented at Catholic Day, although much of its policy is anti-Catholic and anti-Christian.]"
ReplyDeleteThe "New Evangelization" is just the latest slogan that liberals and establishment buerocrats are making money off of. Lots of checks cut for dopey books and blathery speaking engagements. Meanwhile, the Catholic Church continues in shut-down mode.

Ah, but let them invite Merkel, and the halls will be packed, something like the Bastille at the start of the French Revolution.
ReplyDeleteProof positive that the liberalism is indeed a mental disorder. If there were any doubt we now know for sure that Clerical Derangement Syndrome (CDS) has gone viral.
ReplyDeletePope Francis please resign and go away.
ReplyDeleteJust today he's written in a tweet that he will never resign, because he's reckless......the nightmare continues.....
ReplyDeleteYes the thug has realized how much fun it is to destroy the Church unopposed.
