German ‘Bishop’ Demands Married Clergy: Conciliar Sect Dismantles Priesthood
EWTN News portal reports that Josef Graf, auxiliary “bishop” of Regensburg, has publicly advocated for the ordination of married men — so-called viri probati — while paying lip service to celibacy and rejecting women’s “ordination,” mere days before the German “bishops'” autumn plenary in Fulda. Graf cites the existence of married convert-clergy and Eastern rites as precedent, denies celibacy is a conditio sine qua non for orders, and blames the vocational collapse on secularization rather than the post-conciliar rupture. The new “conference president,” Heiner Wilmer of Münster, simultaneously calls for a “synodal Church” unafraid of the “spirit of the times.” This orchestrated maneuver is not reform but the calculated demolition of the Catholic priesthood by a paramasonic structure that has not held a valid hierarchy since 1958.
