Germans and Germany are serving Planet Earth, our Common Home with dedication and distinction.

The good Bishop fails to remember that Germany
led the way with abortion, which has done nothing
for his Germany, and the position on Judaeo-Christian
birthrate, in 1875 was 5.35, nice and healthy until
it sank in 1935 to1.77 and then in 1965 peaked
at 2.47 and then dropped in 1995 to 1.3. Since then
it has risen slightly, but is still terminal cancer for
his Germany.
Same sex marriage does NOTHING for birthrate nor
does it do anything for children who DESERVE
heterosexual parenting, as their RIGHT, not just
a privilege.
Furthermore the very presence of ABNORMALITIES
among the clergy do nothing for the birthrate either,
nor do they encourage proper growth in the Sacramental
life of innocents who deserve better treatment from their
ordained mentors. The costly lawsuits should be paid
BY offending clergy, and the latter made to do MANUAL work
to pay for the lawsuits. THAT would keep them honest.
The casuistry proposed is of little interest among those who
have since left the German Catholic church, and of
no value to mothers who all know the problems in the economy.
The restoring of trust is only achieved by sincere apology, and
restitution, not by specious argumentation which is
intended to placate the “progressive Catholic”. Furthermore
without serious interest in an ascetical life, prayer itself
remains at a low ebb, with a non-existent mysticism.
Bishop Batzing would be better off quoting Cardinal Martini’s
last interview (some time ago in NZ Catholic),
and then take a cold hard look on what is active
in Catholicism and what is not,
and then speak with his assumed profundity.
Around the globe many have already voted with their feet,
particularly youth, who not only are the church of
tomorrow but also family builders of the future.
If parish life was more relevant, it would be manifest
in the German birthrate.
Is it?
He might also like to re-read the comment by Pope
St John Paul II to confidant Monsignor Longhi
on the subject of Islam, which on current
predictions will overcome German Catholicism purely
on its birthrate. He has a serious problem which he
does not appear to be facing.
German Catholics need to advise him of his
immediate responsibilities, if he wishes to have
any relevance at all.
