‘Catholic Queer Mass’ Debuts on German Television

With your friendly presider, Karsten Weidisch

This past Sunday, October 26, was a historic day for the German public-service television broadcaster ZDF. Although they have been live-streaming religious worship services every Sunday morning since 1979, alternating between the Novus Ordo Mass of the Vatican II Church and the services of the Lutheran Church (or occasionally some other Protestant denomination), this time it was a special service for ‘queer folk’ — aberrosexuals such as sodomites and transsexuals — presented by the ‘Roman Catholic’ diocese of Münster. That’s right: It was a ‘Catholic Mass’ with a ‘Catholic priest’ in a ‘Catholic church’ in full communion with the ‘Catholic diocese’ of Münster.

The ‘Catholic bishop’ in charge of the diocese from 2009 until Mar. 9 of this year was Felix Genn (b. 1950). There is no local ordinary in Münster at present, as the diocese is vacant; however, a certain Rev. Antonius Hamers is currently responsible for its administration. The televised homo liturgy was promoted ahead of time on the official diocesan web site here. At least the abomination didn’t take place inside a beautiful traditional Catholic church building but at the hideous St. Anna’s Church in Mecklenbeck.

The so-called Queergemeinde — the official diocesan LGBTQXYZ parish community — has been in existence since 1999, first under ‘Bp.’ Reinhard Lettmann until his retirement in 2008. Its web site, if you must see it, can be found here. As to its own history, the parish states: “The queer parish community in Münster was founded in 1999 on the initiative of the Working Group on Gay Theology. Lesbian women soon began to support the idea. Today, the queer community is home to Christian lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender people.” You can’t make it up.

The title given to the Oct. 26 aberrosexual service was “Who am I – for you?” The recurring theme was one of, “Be as you are”, “Be true to yourself.” In other words, “Continue in your sins.”

So, no, it was not a special penitential service at which people who had hitherto openly displayed and celebrated their attachment to sins contrary to nature publicly disavowed all such infernal affinities and, having begged God for mercy and received absolution, were publicly reconciled to the Church. That would have been a most wonderful thing to celebrate!

What happened instead, of course, was that it was precisely their disordered inclinations that were being celebrated and affirmed to be in perfect harmony with the will and doctrine of Christ. It was precisely the sickness of their soul that was declared to be simply a different type of spiritual health. These poor souls were told that their sinful inclinations were part of their very being and unchangeable. The sinner was not lifted out of his sin but confirmed in it. Mired in mud, they were not offered any help; instead, they were told that the mud is simply an alternate form of water!

The music was provided by a band, and the instruments included drums and a saxophone.

In some camera shots, the Queergemeinde‘s paschal candle is visible, which for some reason was lit during the blasphemous service, even though Paschaltide has long ended. Whereas a real Catholic paschal candle is white, representing the Risen Christ, the mockery of an Easter candle used by the aberrosexuals sports a conspicuous rainbow design. Each color represents a different ‘flavor’ of the LGBTQ agenda, which our neo-pagan world bows before.

The ‘Catholic’ presider over this abomination was ‘Father’ Karsten Weidisch. That’s this awe-inspiring gentleman right here (some may remember him from this story):

As for the homily delivered by ‘Fr.’ Weidisch, it involved a reprehensible twisting of the Gospel — using the passage of the proud Pharisee and the humble publican (see Luke 18:9-14) — distorting the mercy of God as an affirmation of sin rather than the generous pardon of sin after repentance. The presbyter presented the ‘LGBTQ person’ as being the poor victim of unjust treatment and rash judgments. One could not help but notice a certain self-righteousness in Weidisch’s preaching, along the lines of “I am so glad that I am not proud like this Pharisee!”

But Christ did not praise the publican simply because he was candidly confessing himself to be a sinner. He praised Him because in addition to admitting his guilt openly, he was contrite for his sins, and true contrition implies a firm purpose of amendment. In other words, the publican was expressing remorse for his past, not boasting of it, and he was resolved not to commit sin again. He wasn’t seeking validation or affirmation for his disordered inclinations, nor did he claim that his sins were somehow part of his deepest identity.

What Weidisch did, therefore, was worse than even the behavior of the proud Pharisee; for even the Pharisee who believed himself to be righteous didn’t boast of his sins, he only boasted of his good deeds (spoiled though they were by his pride)!

After the homily, Weidisch asked two homosexuals each to share their ‘testimony’. The first of them, a male, told the heart-wrenching story of how he wasn’t able to become a deacon — because, you know, discrimination — but then he found the welcoming and open Queergemeinde and, in it, the love of his life! And now he and his partner are “living the joy of the faith” together (minus a few inconvenient details, clearly)!

‘Fr.’ Weidisch used the opportunity to remind people of ‘Pope’ Francis’ notorious quote, “Who am I to judge?”, without, of course, telling them that He who “will come to judge the living and the dead” (Creed) has revealed to us that “they who do such [wicked] things shall not obtain the kingdom of God” (Gal 5:21). For those who need a little more clarity, St. Paul explained candidly that “…God delivered [some] up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error” (Rom 1:26-27).

Needless to say, that is a message that was not communicated to the people attending the Oct. 26 liturgy.

Mr. Jan Baumann perverts the carrying of the Cross

During the distribution of ‘Holy Communion’, while the band was playing some saxophone-friendly tune, a brief ‘meditation’ was offered by a sodomite who goes by the name of Jan Diekmann (his birth name is Jan Baumann — you can guess why he has a different last name now). In it, he told the viewer that just as bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist, such a transformation is not an isolated event but ought also to take place in ourselves: “a transformation from fear to trust, from rigidity to openness, from isolation to community”. Standing before a disturbing ‘artistic’ rendition of the Stations of the Cross (see above), he spoke of the ‘cross’ the sexually perverted have to carry. What ‘cross’? That of their depraved affections still not being fully recognized and accepted, of course!

And there we see just how upside everything is in these people’s minds: According to their false doctrine, the cross to be carried is not our fight against the evil inclinations we all have on account of our fallen nature — whether they be temptations to impurity, pride, vanity, greed, detraction, anger, gluttony, etc. — but rather the fight to have our own evil inclinations accepted and affirmed. It is truly a perversion of the Gospel, for the word perversion comes from the Latin pervertere, meaning “to overturn completely”.

Nothing keeps a man so far away from the Gospel and God’s mercy as a stubborn attachment to sin. By making people believe that their sins are an unchangeable part of who they are, their attachment to vice is reinforced and thus a huge spiritual obstacle is placed in their path. Such an infernal message is a scandal in the truest sense of the word.

Although promoted as a Gottesdienst (“divine service”), this perverted liturgy was no service to God. It was a celebration of man, sinful man, precisely as sinful. Sinful man was made to feel good about himself. Indeed, it was nothing short of man worshipping himself, with God used as a prop to make the lies more believable.

Welcome to the reality of the Vatican II Church.

Certainly, this does not take place at every Novus Ordo church or parish, but that is beside the point anyway. The point is that it can happen at all — not as an aberration that is quickly condemned, but as an official diocesan liturgy that is permitted, promoted — and televised.
