The chairman of the German bishops’ conference has suggested that the first scheduled meeting of a controversial synodal body will be delayed absent approval of its statutes by the Vatican.
This is really encouraging to read. Could we hope that the leadership of the SSPX might take notes from Bishop Wilmer here and back down from their intended illicit consecration of bishops? I never would have expected to be able to write that, even a week ago.
This is encouraging news. I pray the German bishops have truly seen the Light. Or at least two thirds of them have.
Much as in civil law in the US, if you point out what is legal and what is not, and then enforce those things, an unacceptable situation can and will be resolved. Stay firm in what is right and just, Holy See.
I think it was Cardinal Consalvi who said to Napoleon (in response to “I will destroy you!”), "For 1,800 years, the rest of us have been trying to do it, and we haven't succeeded!”
Brilliant as always, Ed!!!

One can only hope the Holy Spirit has finally gotten through to them. Come Holy Spirit. Lord, save your people.
