Germany rewrites Catholic morality, Cardinal Dolan refuses to condemn a gay TV star confirmed with his “husband,” Knoxville strangles the old Mass again, and Jimmy Akin refutes his entire career.
The Rainbow Reich And Its Favorite Scapegoat
Edward Pentin’s piece on Germany begins the way these things always do.
The problem, we are told, is not the council, not the new theology, not the Vatican who spent a decade flattering the German Synodal Path and stuffing it full of Francis-approved talking points. No, the problem is that Rome did not “correct” the Germans quickly enough.
So we get a long lament about the latest “orientation aid” from the bishops’ conference telling Catholic schools to treat “diversity of sexual identities” as a fact, to present sexual morality as disputed, to let students decide for themselves whether the sixth commandment exists this week.
Everyone pretends to be shocked.
Gabriele Kuby gives a sincere and often accurate diagnosis of gender ideology. Children are being groomed and mutilated. Conversion therapy is banned. Priests are gagged. Parents are abandoned. All true.
Then comes the move.
The bishops, she says, “do not follow the pope.” Francis is painted as the strict father whose heartfelt letters to Germany were tragically ignored. Leo XIV is the new hope who will finally “take up the battle” against the very moral revolution his predecessor spent twelve years blessing, winking at, or ambiguously massaging into magisterial shape.
The same essay that rightly calls this a “great apostasy” ends by cheering that Leo will help us discern artificial intelligence with the help of Encounter Ministries and “charisms.” So the solution to the doctrinal meltdown caused by charismatics, synodality, and weaponized ambiguity is more charismatics, synodality, and ambiguity.
You almost have to admire the denial involved.
Germany is not rebelling against Rome. Germany is simply acting out, with Teutonic efficiency, everything Rome has been hinting at since the council.
