Cardinal Reinhard Marx said Germany’s abortion regime, which results in around 100,000 unborn children killed every year, respects ‘the plight of the woman,’ making him the latest German bishop to praise the country’s pro-abortion law.
Bishop Stephan Ackermann defended Germany’s abortion regime as leading to ‘societal peace’ despite around 100,000 children killed in abortion every year and criticized strong pro-life advocacy, citing ‘a woman’s right to self determination.’
'It is an expression of respect for the reality of life and the life choices of people who want to be there for each other. And it gives us the opportunity to bless without demanding anything,' one German bishop said of the new norms for 'blessing' homosexual couples published by the Vatican.
‘In the future, Church-run schools should be able to be recognized by the fact that they give room to deal with the topic of sexuality,’ said Heinrich Timmerevers, who rejects definitive Catholic teaching on homosexuality.
