His Excellency Gerhard Feige, Bishop of Magdeburg |
Feige criticised Francis on katholisch.de (June 6) for having asked for an unanimous agreement of the German bishops on Protestant Communion but then having back-pedaled.
According to an emotional Feige this leads to "disappointment", "bitterness", "wounds" and "resignation".
It is incomprehensible for him [and everybody else] that Cologne Cardinal Woelki is in favour of Protestant Communion but then does not want to officialise it.
For Feige it is also "astonishing" that Francis did not oppose Communion for adulterers but does so with Protestant Communion.
The German discussion on Protestant Communion is a deceptive manoeuvre because it has been an unwritten rule for decades that Communion must be given to Protestants in Germany.

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.
