Pastors who lack foresight hesitate to say openly what is right because they fear losing the favor of men. On the 27th Sunday of the liturgical year, priests (including, presumably, the German bishops) should have read this passage from Pope Saint Gregory the Great: Every priest promises God – through his bishop – to pray the Breviary. This concern for “the church” rings hollow. An astonishing news item in the Wall Street Journal reports: “At a meeting in Frankfurt, German church leaders voted 168 to 28.to adopt a draft statement on sexuality that includes a resolution saying that ‘same-sex partnerships who want to take the risk of an unbreakable common life.should be able to see themselves placed under the blessing of God.’”Ī priest who has campaigned against longstanding Church teaching rejoiced at the vote, even though it directly contradicted several statements by Pope Francis, saying it was “a milestone in the journey toward a church without discrimination, a church full of respect for the diversity of love and partnerships.”
