Why do we dance around obvious truths and not speak the truth plainly? It is as if we are paralyzed by fear to tell the truth, what people will say about you speaking the truth, and how that might cause you suffering. Well, suffering is a part of daily life. So let’s tell the truth, which the Vatican hasn’t (and most certainly never will), which I’m oddly seeing no one say yet at the formal level across the Catholic internet world. We don’t need a pope or Council to declare the Church in Germany to now be in formal heresy, and therefore automatically a formal schism.
When a Synod of Bishops representing the Catholic Church in Germany issues a document finalizing formally, publicly, and obstinately one of the heresies they’ve already embraced for years, namely that homosexual sex acts are not intrinsically evil nor a sin against God, they have formally separated from the Catholic Church and formed their own “Independent National German ‘Catholic’ Church.” It is a Formal Schismatic Church. Next will be statements that abortion, artificial birth control, and women priests are not intrinsically evil. This “Synod on Synodality” all this time being a plan for an effective Vatican III, to formalize the Conciliar Church once and for all.
Up until the other day, the Conciliar Church was simply the collective of clerical modernists and the modernist, conciliar praxis of how the Faith is to be presented and practiced. Now, beginning first in Germany, that Conciliar Church is now a formally new church based ultimately on the errors of Vatican II. The formalization of the Vatican II Church has now begun, starting with Germany.
No priest, religious, or laity can any longer be in union with any bishop in the now formally schismatic German “Catholic” Conference of Bishops, except and only except if said bishop publicly dissented from this heretical document, which violently overturns the Word of God. My mother being from Germany, if ever I visit there, I will never step foot in one of their now schismatic churches. Every Catholic there now must practice the Faith in the manner of the SSPX, or Catholics during the time of the Arian heresy. Furthermore, every bishop and national conference of bishops, including in Rome, who refuse to condemn this new Independent National Church is suspect of supporting in practice their heresies and schism.
Since we are supposed to pray not only for God’s mercy but for His justice, then may the wrath and vengeance of God, not from us but from God Himself, descend upon these heresiarchs and drive out their wickedness. I will pray tonight the Vatican will condemn and excommunicate them, ultimately to convert them back to the true Faith. But I know it is almost certain they won’t.
No traditionalist going forward should have any scruple calling out heretic bishops, or the apostate religion founded upon the errors of Vatican II or the Novus Ordo. What the German bishops did being the end result of Catholic modernism. There being no scandal or error in calling this out, but rather the scandal and error in NOT doing so. We must have righteous anger about this new formally schismatic church, and pray God brings it to an end. Likely more will follow in other progressive countries, like Northern Europe (excluding Poland).
