Preliminary canonical investigation opened against concelebrating stealth priestess

 Opening of a canonical preliminary investigation



"As Diocesan Bishop, I have the duty to react to the events of the last weeks in connection with the retirement of the pastor of the Parish of St. Martin, Illnau-Effretikon.

Due to the seriousness of these incidents, I have deliberately not acted immediately. In such a situation, it is important to carefully consider an appropriate course of action.

The complexity of the liturgical abuse that took place requires the opening of a preliminary canonical investigation.

The results of this initial investigation will form the basis for any further measures. Moreover, they will show whether these are offences whose judgement is reserved for the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and consequently must be reported there."

Hans-Jürgen Feulner an academic liturgist from Vienna has given details of exactly what was wrong.  Doubtless this is what the Bishop meant by complexity.

He stated the concelebrating theologian has transformed the Eucharistic prayer. "Considerable additions were made to the words of consecration of the chalice. The introductions to the words of over the bread and chalice were also changed," says Feulner. This is highly questionable, says the expert.

"Do this in memory of me!"  Stealth priestess concelebrates.

It has been all too much even for the enormous liberal that the Bishop is.  Declined a coat of arms on the basis that he did not want anything to compete with the Cross of Christ and then disports himself like this.
