From a commentary at Rorate Caeli:
The German Bishops' Conference has convened itself to lead a “synodal path,” which aims to extend to the universal Church the ‘binding’ decisions of their “permanent synod,” including the equalization of clergy and laity, the ministerial ordination of women, the inclusion of homosexuals in the Church, opening all the sacraments to them, including marriage.
The Holy See has intervened more than once to warn the German bishops, ever since Abp. Filippo Iannone, whom Leo XIV appointed head of the Dicastery for Bishops in 2025, wrote to their president, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, to warn that these disruptive issues, “do not concern the Church in Germany but the universal Church and, with few exceptions, cannot be the subject of deliberations or decisions by a particular Church.”
The German bishops, however, have repeatedly ignored Rome's warnings. Their goal, as Vaticanist Nico Spuntoni observes in Il Giornale on January 17, seems to be to “spread a German contagion to the rest of the Church.”

What another great day this is!!! It is the Feast Day of that Angelic Doctor, St Thomas Aquinas, gifted with such a towering intellect which he completely dedicated to Him Who had given it to him in the first place!!!He had no illusions about Who God is -Creator- and who he and every other human being is- merely one of the created!!! His is the Theology and Philosophy that the wise, heroic Pope St Pius V ( Battle of Lepanto) under whose leadership the Council of Trent- which launched the true Reformation- was concluded, chose as one of the pillars of the compulsory Seminary Training for all priests! The other pillar was the authoritative, systematic, in- depth explanation of Catholic Doctrine, the Catechism of the Council of Trent! This was written under the Supervision of another brilliant orthodox giant of Holy Mother Church-St Charles Barromeo and maintains its status as one of the most authoritative even today- because of its clarity, breath and depth!
Sadly what we have had being taught/ promoted in a number of Seminaries is Modernism/ Relativism - “ Liberation ‘Theology’ , ‘ Seamless ‘Garment’ , Redistribution, Global Warming Ideology, which not surprisingly grew and flourished after the Oath Against Modernism had been unceremoniously dumped after Vatican ll ended!!!The Incredibly Courageous, Discerning St Pope Pius X had recognized this evil, Modernism, which he appropriately designated as “ the synthesis of all heresies “ as a major threat to Holy Mother Church and had sought to restrain it through this Oath which all clergy and Seminarians
( candidates for Holy Orders) as well as all Professors in Seminaries were mandated to take!!!
Look at what’s been going on in the Church since its repeal! To paraphrase a Biblical phrase- what need have we for further proof?
St.Thomas Aquinas, Pope St Pius V, Pope St Pius X please continue to intercede for us , the Church Militant, who must face this heterodoxy which is now even more powerful in the current governance of the Church, following the packing of the College of Cardinals and the choice of promotions at all levels below that over the previous 12 1/2 yrs.
Thank God for the assurance of the final victory! It’s so much easier to persevere and continue to do our part because of this!!!
