Open War Between Dutch Bishops

I am glad that there are still Catholic Bishops in the Netherlands! From 1723 until 1853, the Netherlands was a mission territory, because the 'official' Church had fallen into the Jansenist heresy and gone into schism.

Bishop Hendriks
Auxiliary Bishop Jan Hendriks of Haarlem-Amsterdam, Netherlands, has defended the German Protestant Communion.

He supported on his website arsacal.nl (May 16) the idea that bishops’ conferences may decide by themselves [contradicting other bishops’ conferences and the New Testament] to introduce this sacrilege.

Hendriks was appointed in 2011 by Benedict XVI. His diocesan bishop Jozef Punt is considered to be a "conservative".

Two days after Hendriks, Utrecht archdiocese headed by Cardinal Willem Eijk (May 18) stated the opposite.

The statement proves with the Church law, the Catechism and Church documents that Non-Catholics may receive Holy Communion in an “emergency situation” but that mixed marriages cannot be considered as such.

It seems that the Utrecht statement was an answer to Hendriks' heretical proposals.

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.
