80 German churches conduct second round of rites for same-sex couples
BERLIN (ChurchMilitant.com) - Germany's Synodal Way will vote for same-sex blessings to be officially legitimized in the Catholic Church, Irme Stetter-Karp, president of the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK), said Tuesday.
A two-thirds majority of the bishops must vote for the bill to become legal, putting the German Church on a collision course with Rome. The ZdK is co-organizing the Synodal Way with the German Bishops' Conference.
Mass Defiance
Eighty German churches are offering "gay blessings" this week, defying the Vatican's recent decree that categorically rules out rites for same-sex couples as "illicit" and "unlawful."
This is the second time such services are being held all over Germany after the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) issued a responsum ad dubium (reply to a doubt) in March 2021 stating: "God does not and cannot bless sin."
The Vatican continues to remain silent over the rebellion involving hundreds of priests who are openly advertising the unlawful services on church websites and on the website of the pro-LGBTQ+ #lovewins (#liebegewinnt) movement — set up specifically in view of the CDF's refusal to bless homosexual couples.
"We will continue to accompany people who enter into a binding partnership and bless their relationship," #lovewins states. As pastoral workers, it adds, "we do not accept that an excluding and outdated sexual morality is laid on the backs of people."

The pope will ask "how high?".
This will be formal heresy.
So, how will this get around the definition of “fornication”?
Next will be the Three-Way-Non-binary” triple wedding blessing?
if you are an sjw activist you likely believe religion is backwards nonsense so why would you be so desperate for church acceptance?
if you are a bishop even if you have no concern for doctrine the vast majority who care about this issue don’t attend church and won’t really care one way or the other what you do so why bother?
There might be only three Catholics total left in all of germany.
And zero Catholics left in Domus Sanctae Marthae.
Germany is Bergoglio’s trial ballon for his evil Sin-Nod.
He puts the hammer down on traditional Catholics but winks at sodomite unions.
You cannot bless sin. This is an abomination.
“... laid on the backs of people.””
Oh, dear.
How the devil must be laughing.
Abomination...of desolation?
This is why Sola Scriptura is so important. When a denomination can just manufacture new dogma on a whim it will always move to apostasy.
