Catholics “have a duty to protest the legal recognition of homosexual partnerships” said Bishop Tebartz-van Elst

LIMBURG (LifeSiteNews.com ) – The Catholic bishop of Limburg, Franz Peter Tebartz van Elst, has removed a priest from office after reports that the latter had “blessed” or “consecrated” the partnership of a pair of homosexual men.

Fr. Peter Kollas, a dean of priests in the city of Wetzlar, participated in the “blessing” of the two men who had undertaken a civil “marriage” ceremony.

The event, Friday August 15, was also witnessed by a Protestant minister and about 150 guests, local news reports.

The bishop, appointed to the diocese of Limburg by Pope Benedict XVI in 2007, said that Catholics “have a duty to protest the legal recognition of homosexual partnerships.”
In a statement appearing on the diocese’s website, Bishop Tebartz-van Elst said he had removed Fr. Kollas as dean of priests to avoid further “damage” to the Church’s reputation.

    What, no process of listening? No endless discussion in synod after synod? No waffling by the Archbishop? Swift justice, what a concept!

    The other side of that coin, though, is that if a leadership with that kind of power and authority ever becomes corrupt, it is that much harder to spark a renewal.
