Read MoreCardinal Walter Brandmüller � one of the two remaining dubia cardinals � has published a new statement in which he calls out the German bishops who approved several heterodox and heretical statements during their recent February 2022 Synodal Path meeting with organized lay people in Frankfurt, Germany. The Nordic Bishops Conference had just issued a similar criticism. The German cardinal first presents the reforms that have also been approved by most of the German bishops. These are “the abolition of celibacy, as well as the admission of remarried divorcees to communion,” as well as the proposal “that practiced homosexuality is recognized as morally permissible.” In addition, the Synodal Path proposes that there are “now also no real differences between ordained bishops, priests, deacons, and �only’ baptized and confirmed,” the prelate explains. In light of these heretical views, Cardinal Brandmüller concludes that “the Frankfurt Assembly overrules two thousand years of practice and a General Council. And, moreover, it demands that the Sacrament of Holy Orders be administered to women � something that has never been considered possible in two thousand years because, as John Paul II has stated with infallible judgment, the Church has no authority to administer the Sacrament of Holy Orders to women.” Such proposals, he goes on to say, “have aroused horror among ordinary Catholics.”
