While it's been known for decades that the state-supported "Catholic" churches of Europe aren't terribly "Catholic" in practice, apparently "Catholic" authorities in Germany are contemplating rewriting Catholic doctrines to suit their preferences. The Pope is, not surprisingly, not amused.
Really, Germans of all people ought to remember, ahem, how things went down the last time German government authorities tried to redefine their churches. Do they really want to go there?
Here in the U.S., we are so blessed to have a First Amendment that (at least for now) puts the kibosh on this sort of thing.
