The German Synod voted on Saturday (161 yes, 34 no, 11 abstentions) to concoct a rite of "blessing" for homosexuals and adulterers and to allow these groups to do paid work for the Church.
Some examples of anti-Catholic polemics during the Synod where sin was presented as "love":
- Birgit Mock, Vice-President of the lay body Zentralkomitee deutscher Katholiken (pictured in the green jacket): "With the [homosex] blessing, we want to explore something in Germany that can then also radiate out into the universal Church."
- Munich’s Cardinal Marx on a future "re-evaluation" of homosexuality in the Catechism: "The Catechism is not the Koran. It is always being changed."
- Stuttgart City Dean Christian Hermes: "Jesus, when asked about the most important commandment, referred to love and not to the sixth commandment."
- Katharina Norpoth, Catholic Youth organisation BDKJ: It is "wrong" to consider homosexuality as a reason for the abuse scandal.
- Presiding Bishop Bätzing: "We don't mainly produce texts, but we change the Church’s concrete actions." And: One cannot simply go on with the Church’s sexual morality because it has "humiliated, hurt and excluded far too many people."
- Bishop Bode of Osnabrück: "We now have the unique opportunity to bring these questions into the Synod of Synods."
- Gregor Podschun, Catholic Youth organisation BDKJ: "The Church is thoroughly a violent system."
The decadent Catholic Church in Germany is existing in a palliative mode artificially kept alive by the German church tax.

Why don’t they just eliminate the word sin?
