From Church Militant Headlines – SEPTEMBER 29, 2017:
Cologne Archbishop to Fellow Prelates: Ignore Crisis in the Church
Germany has lost more than half a million Catholics in less than three years.
FULL STORY: Kardinal Woelki: Bischöfe, resigniert nicht: Cardinal Woelki: Bishops, do not resign! (Katholisch.de):
Fewer and fewer Catholics, fewer and fewer priesthood candidates. The social influence of the church also diminishes. But the Church does not live by numbers and successes [but by every Euro that comes from die Kirchensteuer (the Church tax) Cf. Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4], says Cardinal Woelki.
