Würzburg Catholic Congress: A Rainbow Fair of leftist abominations
Much more Stetter-Carp, no Christ no cross. Stetter-Carp is the President of the Central Committee of German Catholics.
"The 2026 Catholic Congress in Würzburg, which begins this coming Thursday, once again demonstrates why more and more people who want to remain Catholic or become Catholic are turning away from the church that relies on church tax revenue. What was originally a spiritually oriented event has become a kind of fair of leftist aberrations for intellectual masochists.
One has to give credit to modern church communication in Germany: it masterfully understands how to read the signs of the times – even if they're backwards. And thus masterfully misses the kairos of which St. Paul spoke.
At the upcoming Catholic Congress in Würzburg in 2026, the astonished believer will once again witness how what was originally a rather contemplative gathering of Catholic self-affirmation has transformed into a kind of religious-sociological experience festival. Previously, the focus was on Holy Mass and youth pilgrimages. Today, apparently, it's on everything else that interests a conformist audience of the over-60s. This is reflected in the excessive embarrassment with which the Bishop of Würzburg, known for his anti-fascist stance, is involved in the event:
Anything but edifying is the creative diversity of the so-called Church Mile, which, according to the organizers, is expected to cost around 10 million euros. Where once pious associations sold cakes and missionary societies collected donations, the full panorama of the Church's "ability to engage in dialogue" now unfolds. And because the Church doesn't want to exclude anyone—except those who still believe in a clear doctrine or, like the AfD, uphold natural law and human rights against posthumanism—we can look forward to ever-new pronouncements that would probably have been politely described as "inappropriate" or even blasphemous in the past. To put it bluntly: Where nuns once sold handicrafts to benefit missions, the venerable sisters now paint their vulvas together with polyamorous trans women…
"Climate: Humanity's Greatest Problem"
NIUS provides an overview of the topics: "Divided Society, United Stance – Remaining Stable as Christians in Polarized Times," "Cell Phones, War, and E-Waste – From Vicious Cycle to a More Just Future," "Fear Shapes Opinions – A Danger to Freedom and Diversity." These are probably not fears about climate change or nuclear power, but rather real fears of social decline, migrant crime, and deindustrialization.
One topic is: “Why aren’t we talking about climate change anymore? – How humanity’s biggest problem disappeared from the debate” – and it’s probably not far off the mark to blame Donald Trump rather than the politically motivated worst-case scenarios of climate modeling. “Faith, homeland, identity? – How right-wing ideologies appropriate Christian motifs” is another point that concerns the organizers, because instrumentalization must remain a left-wing monopoly.
In the Bible workshop, the Holy Scriptures are also read from a specific perspective: “Reading the Bible Postcolonially – Examples of Reading Perspectives from the Global South,” “Gender-Sensitive Language in the Second Testament – Talking about God Beyond Traditional Role Models,” and “The Bible as an Empowerment Book for Queer People.”
A booth for Catholic BDSM fetishists
The latest highlight of this development is a contribution that is already making a name for itself in the public eye as the rather charming “BDSM booth.” The group describes itself as "Christians from various denominations who are interested in eroticism and sexuality, particularly in the area of sadomasochistic sexual preferences." One has to let that sink in: A Catholic convention, once a place of Eucharistic adoration and spiritual exchange, now presents itself with an openness that apparently knows only one direction—outward, and as far away as possible from the altar and into the abyss of the rather satanic-seeming queer SM scene. One would have to suffer from a pathological masochism as a Catholic to condone this.
Of course, one is immediately reassured: Everything is pluralistic, open, and dialogical. After all, the Church must be "where the people are." That this self-definition then turns out to be utterly out of touch with reality, in the style of a political bubble, now seems almost inevitable. It's therefore no surprise that figures like Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, under the telling motto "We are democracy," the most unpopular chancellor of all time, Bavarian sausage-loving president Markus Söder, Federal Minister for Family Affairs and Education Karin Prien, Development Minister Reem Alabali-Radovan (SPD), Ricarda Lang, Andrea Nahles, Bodo Ramelow, and others are constantly coming and going there.
Let’s get out of here!
And so the great transformation of the Church marches inexorably on, continuing to drive the Faithful away from the Catholic Church in droves: a Catholic Congress becomes a socially themed event with a religious veneer, the sort that left-leaning NGOs might well organise. The proclamation of the faith is replaced by a diverse range of topics with a queer slant. And the question of the salvation of souls is becoming a question of the best possible propaganda for the controversial, even psychologically harmful, lifestyles of small fringe groups. Meanwhile, the Catholic rubs his eyes, says a brief silent ‘Credo’ – and soberly concludes: if everything is Catholic, in the end surprisingly little remains Catholic. And he ‘goes out of that house or that town and shakes the dust from his feet’ (Mt 10:14).
