Pope Francis and not a few others, thought/think that the rad trads, some of whom spew out right leaning heterodoxy and meanness, are the greatest threat to the Catholic Church’s unity. Some even think that the SSPX are a great threat. Others think that having two forms the one Catholic Mass is the greatest threat.
They are all wrong. It is modernism of the leftist heterodox, organized and with bishops, some who are cardinals, fomenting a true schism built on heresy. They are strident in their divisiveness in a way that no rad trad is.
Press the Silere non Possum title for the their full article, although I post a money byte below the title that says it all:
Bonn – There is something profoundly distorted in the way a part of Western Catholicism today lives its relationship with the universal Church. The interview given by Irme Stetter-Karp, president of the Zentralkomitee der deutschen Katholiken (ZdK), to the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger is a striking example. Not so much for the content—already well-worn: structural reforms, women in ministries, revision of celibacy—but for the tone, the stance, the attitude.
Stetter-Karp, sarcastically described in Germany and Austria as a (grantige alte Jungfer) “bitter old spinster,” makes no secret of her desire to measure the work of the new Pope, Leo XIV, against the expectations of the German Synodal Path. “If he supports our demands, fine. If not, we will judge and condemn him as we did with Francis.” That is the message, hardly concealed.

If the ‘church tax’ were abolished this lot would soon disappear. No money, no mouth
Wow, she is sooooooooooooo important, a legend in her own mind!
If you don't cut the cancer out it will, without fail, metastasize. Pope Leo should act but not against Cardinal Woelki. Start with Batzing's removal a la Strickland, and go from there.
Woelki is tipped as Prefect for the Dicastery of Bishops!
If that were true, that would be an actual bombshell and a message to these post Catholics, clergy and laity in Germany and around the world.
What sources do you have as this seems highly unlikely!
Pope Francis (requiescat in pace) said that radtrads are the greatest threat to the Catholic Church’s unity?
Pax.

Yes, actions speak louder than words. What German bishops did he remove for rad leftist actions? What leftist liturgical loons did he forbid and not allow their liturgies in a parish church or to be advertised in their bulletin. Please look up and copy and paste those MT!
Here is an article about the Big Lie in TC. MT Suit wonʼt understand it:

Father, I appreciate that you have confirmed that we do not have any record of Pope Francis (requiescat in pace) having declared that radtrads are the greatest threat to the Catholic Church’s unity.
Thank you, Father.
Pax.

I see that a LGBT pilgrimage is listed as an official event for the jubilee year later this month during which a rainbow cross will be presented to the pope.
The Pillar has tipped Woelki for the Dicastery of Bishops. The thinking being that he would be well placed to rein in the excesses of the German Synodal Way and their manoeuvres.
This is what Google AI writes: As of September 2025, Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki is not the head of the Dicastery for Bishops, and there are no credible reports from The Pillar or any other major Catholic news outlet stating that he will be appointed to that position. Rumors suggesting this are false and contradict recent papal and Vatican announcements.
Actions speak louder than words? Fine.
Pope Leo XIV possesses the Keys. Therefore, it falls to His Holiness to purge, should he render that decision, from the clergy, as well as religious, supposed "loons."
By the way, there are folks who have insisted that he had worked to promote "loons" when he served as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops.
In addition, certain folks have insisted that as Pope, he has elevated this, or that supposed "loon," to the rank of bishop.
Pax.

Of course every pope has elevated loons! God bless their little hearts. Bishop John Barros, Bishop Zanchetta, and Cardinal, rip, McCarrick.
I never said Woelki had been appointed, only he is tipped to be so by The Pillar in one of their podcasts discussing upcoming appointments (free to hear, not bonus ones restricted to subscribers).
We’ll have to wait and see if they’re correct. Admittedly it’s probably a long shot.
