Churches become DreamRooms

in the Diocese of Aachen in their desparation. Have they totally forgotten the Gospel? Jesus told no-one to dream-on. But this is the Diocese of the Bishop of Aachen who once said "God is not Catholic". I don't think he will be able to persuade St Peter at the gate of heaven of this nonsense.


The same Church, Wednesday night. Not one man, young or old could be found in the whole Diocese of Aachen to serve Mass (there were quite a few in the congregation). The priest referred four times to "dear assembled congregation" (behind which is the protestant idea that the worthiness or otherwise of the congregation determines whether Christ is present) and with great show gave Communion in both kinds to the server before the congregation even moved, to prove that he thought that she should be ordained. A week previous we attended Compline- lead by two layman and a laywoman- one of the laymen read the Gospel from the altar during Compline (?) and everyone remained seated. Aachen was once renowned as a fortress of Catholicism in Germany and earlier as the seat of the Holy Roman Empire.
