German Bishop Firmly Refuses to Ordain "Traditional Minded Priests”

Note that the Rector of his seminary has 'sleepless nights' over the lack of vocations. I wonder why? Obviously, Genn doesn't want them unless they are liberal, anti-Catholics.

From Gloria.tv

Bishop Felix Genn, 68, of Münster, Germany, stated during a press conference that “I can tell you firmly: I do not want pre-conciliar clerical guys and I will not ordain them”. The quote was reported by DieTagespost.de (September 28).

Last year Genn ordained for his 1.9 million Catholics diocese three priests.

He will participate at the Bishops’ Synod on Youth. One of Genn's priests, Father Norbert Happe, is furnishing his parish library with homosexual literature for young people.

In January 2018, the rector of Genn's seminary confessed that he has “sleepless nights” due to the lack of vocations.

In 2013 Genn was among the first promoters of the abortive morning-after pill in "Catholic" hospitals in Germany.

Genn is considered to be a "conservative". He is the superior of the priestly branch of the Johannesgemeinschaft which was founded by Father Hans Urs von Balthasar.

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.
