German Bishop: Laypeople Preach in My Diocese — and I Won’t Sanction Them

"The letter from the Prefect for Liturgy states that only the priest celebrating Mass may preach. But taken to its logical conclusion, that would mean a concelebrating priest or an assisting deacon shouldn't be allowed to preach either."
Even a blind squirrel will find a nut every once in a while. So the Prefect for Liturgy is careless to the point of being goofy. But what self-respecting Catholic, much less a bishop, can use this for an excuse?

Patriarch Kirill Scraps Hilarion's Brazil Posting, Reassigns Him to Monastery

"The allegations were accompanied by claims that Hilarion lived a lavish lifestyle and accumulated significant cash and property."
So? Did he take a vow of poverty? Stick to the topic, which is lurid enough.
Or shall we speak of the German and Austrian Latin hierarchy ... ?

65% of Cardinals Know No Latin – Lack Any Real Qualifications

Some education required ...
Good grief, I started to study Latin in high school in the rough part of town. And other languages, too. Dare we ask about the cardinals' abilities in Greek? Hebrew?

German Archbishop: Homosexual March Is "Joyful and Moving Celebration"

"Archbishop Koch's statement is: 'How terrible! To brutally destroy such a joyful and moving celebration. We keep all the victims, their families, friends, and everyone whose joy has been taken away by hatred in our prayers. Hatred must not prevail.'"
Sad that Catholics do not count.

The paradox being that in Austria (as well as in Germany) the Church as an institution receives way too much money. This is an exciting novelty for them to play at being poor, complete with a kiddy stole.

Italian Archbishop Proposes Women "Co-Preside" at the Novus Ordo

Women already "preside" over the Ordinary Form Liturgy of the Word, including facing and waving their arms at the assembly. Is he talking about women wearing purposely ambiguous vestments to wander about the sanctuary, which they already do in Germany, then haranguing the hapless congregation in a homily as to why they are there when there is in fact a priest in the sanctuary ... behind them ?

No surprise. It will not change any opinions of him.
I am only surprised by how seamless a transition was made from Fran, who hated Catholics with the heat of a thousand suns (but never, for the luck of the Anglican Use, could figure it out) and had to be "elected" fraudulently, to Pope Leo. I suppose most revolutions take place in less than twelve years.

I am not a lay adherent of the SSPX, but I have to say that I feel sympathy for them when I see how they are treated by fellow Catholics. It sets off all my "whatabouts."
