THE Catholic Church is currently immersed in something called the “Synod of Synodology“, a two-year process of “praying, listening, dialoguing,” but according to Germany’s Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former prefect for the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the whole silly rigamarole is an attempt to prepare the Church to accept LGBT+ communities, something that runs contrary to Scripture and tradition.

The National Catholic Register reports that Müller is so pissed off with the entire assembly of men in frocks that he’s burbling phrases such as “false teaching”, the “abuse of the Holy Spirit” and “anti-Christian ideology.”

One theologian chosen to address the assembly spoke all the time of Joseph Ratzinger, but all this was trickery. It was not a true reverence for him, for his theology. They want to revitalize old modernism by referring to Ratzinger, but Ratzinger had nothing to do with modernism. St. Paul, for example, spoke against homosexuality, but they say, ‘We have our new insights, revealed by the Holy Spirit, and so from now on homosexual acts or the blessing of homosexual acts are a good thing. That is their idea. It’s abusing the Holy Spirit in order to introduce doctrines that are openly against Holy Scripture …

Of some of those attending, the mad Müller said:

They’re changing the definition of sins. There are no sins [for some of them]. ‘They’re only wounded people. They’re not sinners. They’re wounded people, wounded by the Church— by the doctrine of the Church.’ They don’t believe in original sin, or sin as an act. They don’t deny it theoretically, but practically. The Church for them is the aggressor …

He added:

This homosexual, ‘LGBT’ ideology is, at its center, an anti-Christian ideology. It’s the spirit of the Antichrist speaking through them. It is absolutely against creation. And their trick is to mix pastoral care for these persons with this anti-Christian ideology. We, the Church, are the only ones who respect the dignity of everybody, of sinners, of persons with problems in every sphere. But the solution to these problems is the way of Jesus Christ. The Good Doctor must give the best medicine and not say ‘It’s all okay.’

Müller suggested that exodus from the Church in Germany was the result of it’s embracing modernism, but that’s as far from the truth as Earth is from Uranus. Germans are leaving because of a combination of RCC’s abuse crisis and a rising tide of secularism, especially Eastern Germany, which is widely considered one of the most Godless places on earth.

A 2021 estimate found that 42 percent of Germans are irreligious, up from 30 percent in 2010. By comparison, the percentage of people in Germany who weren’t Catholic or Protestant in 1950 was only 4 percent.

And it’s costing the Church dear. Increasing disaffiliations means the loss of hundreds of millions of euros in church-tax revenue for the RCC. In 2022 the there 500,000 disaffiliations.
