The current upheaval among Austrian clergy is gaining momentum. It will spread.
Some of the 'hot spots' according to the current issue of The Tablet is the giving of Communion to divorced people in a second marriage - all the usual suspects.
In the coming days Pope Benedict will be in Germany. He has been invited by the German President, Christian Wulf. He will also be the guest of the Mayor of Berlin Klaus Worwereit.
President Wulf and Mayor Worwereit are practising Catholics.
The German President is a divorced man in a second relationship and the Mayor of Berlin is an openly gay man.
Interesting.
If anyone leafed through the pages of the current Irish Catholic they may have noticed two pictures; one of some Roman cardinal dressed up in idiotic clothing - some vestment that trailed the ground longer than any woman's bridal dress, the other picture was of young Legionary of Christ students.
If a picture tells anything, then surely these two pictures tell one that the people in these pictures carry government health warnings - take nothing they say with a grain of salt.
