The Vatican will just continue to manufacture crises with Traditional Catholics in order to avoid confrontation with the German bishops. It's a way for the Pope et. al. to keep kicking the can down the road: "yes yes, we know we need to deal with the Germans, but you see, we really need to address this problem with the Latin Mass first." They'll throw a bone and give lip service every now and then, pretending to care and orthodox teaching, but they don't care. They don't care because they don't believe in the core tenets of the faith. The only thing they believe is that they're the chosen BoomerBishops who are going to change the Church. Rome is a sinking ship with too many holes to plug. Leo XIV has already proven himself toothless, nothing but a facsimile of Francis. The trajectory is clear: the crisis will just worsen with Leo.

Alternatively, 90% of German bishops are not Catholic.

Pope Leo XIV has not made any moves to restore the orthodoxy of the German episcopate … wait, wait, wait …

I know the Catechism says that the Church cannot definitively say if a soul is in hell, but I think we can say in probabilities the chances of a soul being in hell. These bishops and clergy if they do not turn from their false teachings have a high chance of going to hell for sins of the flesh. Mama Mary said to the Fatima seers that many souls will go to hell for sins of the flesh. These bishops and clergy scandalize the world and lead many to sin. In terms of probabilities, if Pope Francis and now Pope Leo XIV don't repent from advancing these perverted agendas, they have a high probability of not going to heaven. But I'm not the Judge, so they have that going for them.

Seriously: do we have to be surprised? I would ask you to tell me something truly meaningful: when and how will the problem of such a large number of heretical and apostate bishops be resolved? Or tell me if perhaps we should stop worrying about something that, anyway, we cannot solve (at least not us, the laity). Otherwise, it all seems like just “sensationalistic” discussions. Especially after we saw that the dubia signed by Cardinals have, PRACTICALLY, no value. Honestly, don't you feel tired of so many useless discussions?

Replace all German clergy with African clergy and it’ll be fixed in a decade.

Allowing this to fester is saying no to Charity. Same goes for James Martin.

Excellent. Challenging. Prophetic. True!

Sadly this is all over the West and I'm not too sure Pope Leo will do anything to stop it.
