To watch German television this evening and to scan every German newspaper today one cannot avoid the nonsense of what has happened in the diocese of Limburg. It is pitiful, shameful and sad. Pathetic too.
And every single detail of the nonsense has been caused by the institutional Catholic Church.
Who appointed this poor man a bishop. How are bishops appointed?
The car crash that is happening in Limburg will happen here too, as sure as day follows night.
Anyone with an ounce of humanity is bound to feel sorry for this man.
The church has the ideal opportunity right now to examine how it appoints its bishops.
Will it avail of the opportunity? Highly unlikely.

The original 'church' had no orders of rank.
Today's churches have changed that for all the wrong reasons.
And the carry-on at Limburg is a natural consequence.
