“Serious Rift” - Seven German Bishops Denounce their Heretical Brethren Bishops at the Vatican
There is a “serious rift” between the German bishops about the recent introduction of Communion for Protestants, reports the Kölner Stadtanzeiger (April 4).
On February 22, two-thirds of the German bishops "allowed" Protestants to receive Holy Communion.
Against
that decision, six bishops and Cologne Cardinal Rainer Woelki wrote
recently a letter to both, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith and the Council for Christian Unity.
The seven prelates
call the decision illegitimate, offending Catholic doctrine and Church
unity. According to them, the bishops’ conference has exceeded its
competence.
