Kurt Koch, a Swiss cardinal, postponed his planned weekend trip to Germany after making contentious comments and making allusion to the Nazi era.
Reverend Sven van Meijn, a preacher in the German district of Elwangen in the Baden-Württemberg state, confirmed this to the German News Agency today, on Saturday (dpa).
Van Meijn claimed that once Koch’s remarks were made public, he got in touch with Koch’s office in Rome.
After making many calls, the Swiss cardinal’s trip to Germany, according to him, was ultimately cancelled.
A mass hut was planned to be built in Elvangen on Monday as part of a number of initiatives.
On Saturday, Koch’s Rome office failed to respond to his inquiries.
Koch (72 years old) previously stated in an interview with the newspaper “Tagespost”: “Because this phenomenon was already present during the Nazi dictatorship when he saw those who launched On them “German Christians the emergence of a new divine revelation in the policy of blood and land announced with the rise of Hitler, it bothers me to add new knowledge to consult the recognised sources of Catholic faith, in order to adapt to the teachings.
The Protestant trend that sought to meld Christianity with the Nazis’ racial ideology was represented by the German Christians.
Any connection to the Nazi era is absurd, according to Rev. Van Meijn, who expressed his surprise at Koch’s remarks. Everyone, both at home and abroad, must adhere to this.
Megyn mentioned 20 emails that declared enmity and threatened him with grave consequences if they didn’t hear from him by Saturday.
As part of the process of changing the synodal path, German Catholics are now debating whether Catholic doctrines need to be developed further in specific areas.
Reformers demand that this be considered because the Church’s position on homosexuality is at odds with what is known scientifically.
