Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart…
Nationally-Televised Novus Ordo Mass in Germany
Features Slime Monster as Infant Jesus
Merry Christmas, Germany? More like April Fool’s….
Under its new ‘bishop’ Klaus Krämer (b. 1964), the uber-woke diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, Germany, found a way to make Christmas not merely unappealing but downright repulsive: A nationally-televised ‘Christmas Mass’ on Dec. 24, 2025, included what was called a ‘living’ Christmas crib that was so repulsive that even non-religious people were outraged.
The abominable service was led by ‘Fr.’ Thomas Steiger (see photo here) and his female liturgical sidekick, pastoral associate Katharina Leser. The motto for this Christmas ‘Mass’ was: So viel Mensch war nie! (“There’s never been so much humanity!”) — as if Christmas were a celebration of humanity rather than of God becoming man to save us from eternal damnation. In the Vatican II Church, the worship of man is ever more openly replacing the worship of God.
On the TV channel’s official web site, the description for the televised ‘Mass’ reads:
Together, we make our way to the manger. There, a human being is waiting. He represents all of humanity, every one of God’s creatures, each and every individual. Christians believe that in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, God revealed himself to the world and has since been present in every human being.
This is a load of hooey, of course, but it is smooth and non-offensive enough for the ears of contemporary man, who does not want to hear about sin or its consequences.
In any case, the ‘living’ manger was so bad, it became a big topic on German social media the days after Christmas. For a while it seemed like everyone was talking about it.
Here is the full video, followed by a close-up of the ‘thing’ that is supposed to be the newly-born Infant Christ (CAUTION! This is not for everybody’s stomach):

The abominable display will remind people of some horror flick or the birth of a calf rather than the coming down to earth of the Son of God. There is nothing heavenly about this; if anything, it is demonic.
According to the remarks made by the presbyter and his sidekick, this grotesque aberration represents the ‘vulnerability’ of the Incarnation. They do not mean to provoke, they said, but they also “don’t want to look away.”
But is this how the Son of God came to earth? When the Blessed Virgin gave birth, is this what she beheld afterwards? Obviously not!
Our Blessed Lord’s birth was not a natural one but a miraculous one, just as His conception had been. Safeguarding this mystery is the Catholic dogma of the Perpetual Virginity, that of the Mother of God preserving her virginity not only before and after the birth of Our Lord but also during it:
For we should not now be able to overcome the author of sin and death unless [Christ] took our nature on Him and made it His own, whom neither sin could pollute nor death retain. Doubtless then, He was conceived of the Holy Spirit within the womb of His Virgin Mother, who brought Him forth without the loss of her virginity, even as she conceived Him without its loss.
(Pope St. Leo I, Epistle 28 to Flavian, sec. II; underlining added.)
If anyone does not properly and truly confess in accord with the holy Fathers, that the holy Mother of God and ever Virgin and immaculate Mary in the earliest of the ages conceived of the Holy Spirit without seed, namely, God the Word Himself specifically and truly, who was born of God the Father before all ages, and that she incorruptibly bore [Him], her virginity remaining indestructible even after His birth, let him be condemned.
(Pope St. Martin I, Lateran Synod, Session 5, Canon 3; Denz. 256; underlining added.)
Since the depravity and iniquity of certain men have reached such a point in our time that, of those who wander and deviate from the Catholic faith, very many indeed not only presume to profess different heresies but also to deny the foundations of the faith itself, and by their example lead many away to the destruction of their souls, we, in accord with our pastoral office and charity, desiring, in so far as we are able with God, to call such men away from so grave and destructive an error, and with paternal severity to warn the rest, lest they fall into such impiety, all and each who have hitherto asserted, claimed or believed that … [the] most blessed Virgin Mary was not the true mother of God, and did not always persist in the integrity of virginity, namely, before bringing forth, at bringing forth, and always after bringing forth, on the part of the omnipotent God the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with apostolic authority we demand and advise, etc.
(Pope Paul IV, Ordinance Cum Quorundam; Denz. 993; underlining added.)
Since the Mother of God remained a virgin even during the birth of our Blessed Lord, it is clear that His sacred birth was miraculous. On this point St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine instruct us:
We must therefore say that all these things took place miraculously by Divine power. Whence Augustine says (Sup. Joan. Tract. 121): “To the substance of a body in which was the Godhead closed doors were no obstacle. For truly He had power to enter in by doors not open, in Whose Birth His Mother’s virginity remained inviolate.”
(St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, III, q. 28, a. 2, ad 3)
By way of analogy, we may say that our Lord came forth from the womb of the Blessed Virgin in a way similar to how rays of light go through glass without harming its integrity. It should not surprise us that just as the Conception of our Lord at the Annunciation was miraculous, so was His holy birth! Indeed, the entire Incarnation — God becoming man — is nothing but a miracle! Thus Pope Pius XII writes:
Within her virginal womb Christ our Lord already bore the exalted title of Head of the Church; in a marvelous birth she brought Him forth as the source of all supernatural life, and presented Him, newly born, as Prophet, King, and Priest to those who, from among Jews and Gentiles, were the first to come to adore Him.
(Pope Pius XII, Encyclical Mystici Corporis, n. 110; underlining added.)
In his Great Commentary on St. Luke’s Gospel, Fr. Cornelius Lapide (1567-1637) notes:
…as she conceived so she brought forth, remaining a virgin, so that Christ was born while the womb of his mother was closed, and penetrated as the rays of the sun penetrate glass. Hence … the Blessed Virgin, as she conceived without concupiscence, so also brought forth without pain or weariness, without flow of blood, passage of the afterbirth, or any of the inconveniences of ordinary childbirth, and without a midwife. So say the [Church] fathers everywhere.
(The Great Commentary of Cornelius à Lapide: The Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke [Fitzwilliam, NH: Loreto Publications, 2008], p. 236. Alternate edition with different page numbering available here.)
When Christ was born and laid in the manger of Bethlehem, we can be assured that the Blessed Virgin was not beholding such a grotesque, repulsive ‘alien’, but the true Son of God made man, in great splendor and immaculate beauty.
According to a report by Infovaticana, the ‘artist’ behind the frightful televised spectacle on Dec. 24 was one Milena Lorek. In an Instagram post, Lorek writes that the person ‘performing’ the disgusting monster was one Eleni Sismanidou. (We discourage readers from looking up either of these two women ‘artists’.)
Around the 23:10 mark in the video, Miss or Mrs. Leser claims that Christ was born in a stable in Bethlehem because His Mother and foster father were refugees, were “on the run”. But this is a plain lie, since they were in Bethlehem only to be enrolled, as is explained in Luke 2:1-6. What is even worse, Leser finishes her sentence with an ambiguity that can only be called blasphemous because of what it insinuates. She says that Mary is together “with a man who is not the true father” of the Christ Child!
Steiger subsequently reveals (around 24:10) that he does not believe that Sacred Scripture is the inerrant Word of God when he says: “Children are little, but in them there is greatness [great potential]. I think that’s what [Saint] Luke wanted to draw attention to when he had the idea of having God come into the world as a child”!! That alone speaks volumes — God becoming man is not actually true, it is only an “idea” of “Luke” who wanted to teach us that there is great potential in the little ones! How perverted a theological mind does one have to have to come up with such brazen Modernist lies?!

Lastly, another thing is noteworthy: The Rev. Steiger wore a vestment with decorative stripes (see image above) that appear to be of the same pink-and-blue colors as those used by the Transgenderists .
Thankfully, the Vatican II Church in Germany is on its way out.
Nothing is more irrelevant than a church that desperately tries to stay relevant by pandering to unbelievers, thinking it will find acceptance by the world with repulsive stunts like this.
