Antichurch Rebellion: German ‘Bishop’ Kohlgraf Defies Vatican, Permits Lay Preaching at Novus Ordo
The National Catholic Register (NCR) portal reports that the “Bishop” of Mainz, Peter Kohlgraf, chairman of the pastoral commission of the German Bishops’ Conference, has publicly declared the Vatican’s prohibition on lay preaching at the Novus Ordo service “not entirely consistent.” While paying lip service to the ban issued by the Dicastery for Divine Worship under “Cardinal” Arthur Roche, Kohlgraf explicitly refuses to sanction parishes in his diocese where laymen — and laywomen — have usurped the homily. He admits the practice is “customary” and vows non-intervention, effectively legitimizing a liturgical abuse that strikes at the very nature of the priesthood. This episode lays bare the total collapse of authority in the conciliar sect: a “bishop” openly contradicts Rome, Rome issues contradictory directives, and the faithful are left in a wasteland of liturgical anarchy where the only law is the whim of the modernist functionary.
