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.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
