have a look at this... don't forget to get one of the barf-bags, first!
He's a bit erratic with his statements and with his actions (how bout that wonderful balloon 'Mass'). Some are good, some are horrific!
The Austrian Church is a complete, utter mess. A combined statment would not be possible!
The German bishops are currently shock-frozen and are too chicken to defend Church and Pope - except the caped defender from Regensburg, who is not in Europe, currently.
Even Marx, who has good qualities, is strangely silent.
The very reliable and great Card. Meisner has spoken up!
Biiig Kudos to the French Bishops!!!!!
Dear God! Heike, I did need more than one barf bag! What is Schoenborn thinking? He himself and his fellow bishops could have offered a Mass for victims of sexual abuse without riding on an initiative by 'Wir sind Kirche'. He's only encouraging them in their insolent and arrogant dissidence! He really thinks he can win back dissident Austrians to the Catholic Church by constantly pandering to their tastes (the carnivalesque Mass, the obscene art exhibit at Stephansdom) and demands????
The kathnet article was very informative, thank you! - I didn't realize how many bishops and dioceses not just in Germany but also in Spain have officially made them 'persona non grata' collectively in their respective churches! If liberal (I think) bishops like Schick and Kothgasser could find them so out of bounds, it speaks volumes for how obnoxious and noxious they are for the Church.
