The cited article reports that the 104th German Catholic Congress (Katholikentag) in Würzburg, organized by the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK), has approved a booth for the “Ecumenical Working Group BDSM and Christianity.” Organizers told EWTN News the group’s guidelines contain “no contradiction with the Catechism.” The article notes that pro-life panels on surrogacy, abortion, and end-of-life care were rejected due to “limited slots,” while a panel on assisted suicide was accepted. The event also features a “Queer worship service” and a Bible workshop titled “Reading the Bible queerly.” This is not a mere organizational failure; it is the logical, terminal phase of the conciliar revolution, where the structures occupying the Vatican have so thoroughly embraced the “spirit of the world” that they now publicly celebrate what the immutable Catholic faith declares to be gravely sinful and intrinsically disordered.
The Abomination of Desolation in the House of God
The approval of a BDSM booth at a “Catholic” congress is a direct and public repudiation of the Church’s perennial teaching on sexuality, chastity, and the nature of the human body. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in its unchanging pre-conciliar formulation, teaches that sexual pleasure “is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes” (No. 2351). Furthermore, it defines chastity as involving “the integrity of the person and the integrality of the gift” and requires “an apprenticeship in self-mastery which is a training in human freedom” (No. 2339). The very concept of “consensual BDSM culture” is a direct assault on these principles, as it explicitly seeks pleasure and eroticism for their own sake, divorced from the unitive and procreative ends of the marital act, and glorifies the very “disorder” that the Church has always condemned.
The organizers’ claim that the group’s guidelines contain “no contradiction with the Catechism” is a blatant lie or a symptom of profound theological illiteracy. It reveals a hermeneutic where the Catechism is no longer a binding rule of faith but a malleable document to be reinterpreted to justify any and all behaviors. This is the fruit of the modernist error condemned by Pope St. Pius X in Lamentabili sane exitu, which rejected the proposition that “the Church is an enemy of the progress of natural and theological sciences” (No. 57) and that “contemporary Catholicism cannot be reconciled with true knowledge without transforming it into a certain dogmaless Christianity, that is, into a broad and liberal Protestantism” (No. 65). The German “Catholic” Congress has achieved this transformation, reducing the faith to a “dogmaless Christianity” that accommodates every form of sexual deviance.
The Logic of the Conciliar Sect: From Religious Liberty to Moral Relativism
This event is not an isolated incident but the inevitable consequence of the conciliar revolution’s embrace of religious liberty and the “dialogue with the world.” The Second Vatican Council’s declaration Dignitatis Humanae on religious freedom, which contradicted the perennial teaching of Popes like Gregory XVI and Pius IX, opened the door to a relativistic mentality where all opinions are equally valid as long as they are “consensual” and “non-discriminatory.” The German “Catholic” Congress has applied this logic to morality: if all religious views are to be tolerated, then all sexual behaviors must be celebrated, provided they are “consensual.”
The official program’s statement that “a diversity of opinions that encourages and enriches discourse on the cohesion of society is expressly desired” is a direct echo of the modernist error condemned in the Syllabus of Errors, which condemned the proposition that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (No. 80). The German “Catholic” Congress has reconciled itself with the sexual revolution, embracing its tenets as “progress” and “diversity” while rejecting the immutable moral law of God.
The presence of groups like the Network of Catholic Lesbians, the LGBT initiative #OutInChurch, and the Ecumenical Working Group Homosexuals and Church, alongside the BDSM booth, demonstrates that the conciliar sect has fully embraced the “cult of man” and the “hermeneutics of continuity” that Pope Benedict XVI warned against. These groups do not seek to convert or to live according to the Church’s teaching; they seek to change the Church’s teaching to accommodate their disordered desires. This is the very definition of apostasy.
The Rejection of the Defense of Life: A Symptom of Systemic Apostasy
The rejection of pro-life panels on surrogacy, abortion, and end-of-life care, while accepting a panel on assisted suicide, is not a mere oversight but a deliberate choice that reveals the true priorities of the conciliar sect. The “Action for the Right to Life for All” (ALfA) and the Association of Catholic German Teachers (VkdL) submitted proposals that directly address the most pressing moral issues of our time—the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death. These proposals were rejected on “capacity grounds,” while a panel promoting assisted suicide was accepted.
This decision is a direct contradiction of the Church’s perennial teaching on the sanctity of life. Pope Pius XI, in his encyclical Casti Connubii, condemned abortion as a “grave sin” and a “crime against God and man.” Pope Pius XII, in his address to the Italian Catholic Union of Midwives, affirmed that “every human being, even the child in the womb, has the right to life directly from God and not from the parents, not from society, not from any human authority.” The conciliar sect’s rejection of these truths in favor of a panel on assisted suicide demonstrates that it has embraced the “culture of death” that Pope John Paul II warned against—a culture that values autonomy and “dignity” over the inviolable sanctity of human life.
The fact that the pro-life association ALfA still maintains a booth at the congress is a tragic example of the “schism within a schism” that characterizes the pseudo-traditionalist movement. By participating in an event that celebrates BDSM and rejects the defense of life, ALfA lends legitimacy to the conciliar sect and its apostate agenda. This is the same error of Archbishop Lefebvre, who acknowledged the validity of the usurpers in the Vatican and sought to “give us the old Mass, that is enough for us,” thereby compromising with the very structures that are destroying the faith.
The “Queer Worship Service”: Blasphemy and Idolatry
The inclusion of a “Queer worship service” titled “Life is colorful — diversity in the Church?!” and a Bible workshop titled “Reading the Bible queerly. Why G*D is a fan of diversity” is not merely a pastoral failure; it is blasphemy and idolatry. The Mass and the sacraments are not human inventions to be adapted to the whims of a fallen world; they are the sacred mysteries of our redemption, instituted by Christ Himself and entrusted to the Church for the salvation of souls.
Pope Pius XI, in his encyclical Quas Primas, taught that “Christ the Lord is King of hearts because of His love, which surpasses knowledge, because of the gentleness and sweetness with which He draws souls to Himself” and that “there is no power in us that is exempt from this reign”. The “Queer worship service” is a direct rejection of Christ’s kingship, replacing His love with the love of self and the celebration of sin. It is a form of idolatry, where the creature is worshipped instead of the Creator, and where the “diversity” of sin is celebrated instead of the unity of truth.
The Bible workshop’s title, “Reading the Bible queerly,” is a direct attack on the authority of Sacred Scripture and the Church’s magisterium. Pope Leo XIII, in his encyclical Providentissimus Deus, taught that “the interpretation of Holy Scripture is ultimately subject to the judgment of the Church, which exercises the divinely conferred commission and ministry of watching over and interpreting the divine revelations”. The conciliar sect’s embrace of “queer” biblical interpretation is a rejection of this teaching, affirming that each individual can interpret Scripture according to their own desires and ideologies.
The German “Catholic” Congress as a Microcosm of the Conciliar Revolution
The 104th German Catholic Congress is a microcosm of the conciliar revolution in its final stage. It demonstrates that the structures occupying the Vatican have so thoroughly embraced the “spirit of the world” that they no longer even pretend to uphold the Church’s teaching. The approval of a BDSM booth, the rejection of pro-life panels, and the celebration of “queer” worship are not signs of a “pastoral” approach; they are signs of a complete apostasy from the faith.
This is the logical conclusion of the errors condemned by Pope St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis, where he defined Modernism as “the synthesis of all heresies” and warned that it would lead to the “destruction of all religion”. The German “Catholic” Congress has achieved this destruction, reducing the faith to a social club that celebrates every form of sin and disorder while rejecting the truths that lead to salvation.
The faithful must recognize that the conciliar sect is not the Church but the “abomination of desolation” spoken of by Our Lord in Matthew 24:15. The true Church endures in the faithful who profess the integral Catholic faith and are led by bishops with valid sacraments and validly ordained priests. The German “Catholic” Congress is a stark reminder that the time of separation has come, and that the faithful must flee from the conciliar sect and return to the immutable Tradition of the Church.
Conclusion: The Call to Separation
The approval of a BDSM booth at the German Catholic Congress is not a sign of “progress” or “diversity”; it is a sign of the complete moral and theological bankruptcy of the conciliar sect. The faithful must recognize that the structures occupying the Vatican are no longer capable of reform and that the time has come to separate from them.
Pope Pius IX, in his encyclical Quanta Cura, warned that “the Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free—nor is she endowed with proper and perpetual rights of her own, conferred upon her by her Divine Founder” is a condemned error. The conciliar sect has rejected this truth, subjecting itself to the spirit of the world and the demands of the sexual revolution.
The faithful must return to the immutable teaching of the Church, as expressed in the Catechism of the Council of Trent, which teaches that “the marriage bond is indissoluble” and that “the use of the marriage act must always be directed to the primary end of marriage, which is the procreation and education of children”. They must reject the conciliar sect’s embrace of BDSM, homosexuality, and assisted suicide, and affirm the sanctity of human life and the integrity of the marital act.
The German “Catholic” Congress is a call to action for all faithful Catholics: to separate from the conciliar sect, to return to the true faith, and to work for the restoration of Christ’s reign over all nations and all aspects of life. As Pope Pius XI taught in Quas Primas, “if men were ever to recognize Christ’s royal authority over themselves, both privately and publicly, then unheard-of blessings would flow upon the whole society”. The conciliar sect has rejected this authority, and the faithful must now affirm it in their own lives and in their communities.
