The German bishops’ conference, over the cliff

On October 30, the German bishops’ conference secretariat announced on the conference website the publication of a text by the bishops’ Commission on Schools and Education, Created, Redeemed, and Loved: Visibility and Recognition of the Diversity of Sexual Identities in Schools. And by “diversity,” the text did not mean the diversity of Genesis 1:27 (“…male and female he created them”); the title refers to the ever-expanding catalogue of “identities” promoted by rainbow ideologists and LGBTQ+ activists. The disastrous German situation cannot go unaddressed by Rome indefinitely.
