CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal George Pell has called upon the Vatican to issue a public correction to leading European prelates because of their “wholesale and explicit rejection” of Church teaching on sexuality.
The Australian cardinal referred to Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich of Luxembourg, and to Bishop Georg Bätzing, the president of the German bishops’ conference. Both have recently made public statements calling for change in the Church’s teaching regarding homosexuality.
“This must not become a normal and tolerated situation,” Cardinal Pell said. He urged the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to address the problem, saying that “Catholic unity around Christ and his teaching requires unity on the major elements in the hierarchy of truths.”
