Father Schmidberger of SSPX Criticizes Schismatic Germans

The Local [Germany]

Father Franz Schmidberger said members of country’s clergy had called into question Catholicism as the only true faith – which indirectly cast doubt on Christ’s divinity.

“A certain group of bishops isn’t primarily opposed to or critical of the priest brotherhood of St. Pius X – they actually have a disturbed relationship with the pope and the theology of the Church over the centuries,” Schmidberger said.

He said past statements by the head of the German Bishops’ Conference Archbishop Robert Zollitsch and his predecessor Karl Lehmann to back up his claims. The Bishops' Conference refused to comment on Schmidberger's remarks.

The rest of the article is mostly garbage and untrue, what it doesn't tell you is that Father Schmidberger is right. German Bishops have had a very strained relationship with the Papacy for 100s of years, and their complicity in the "spirit of Vatican II" is well documented in the book by Fr. Wiltgen, The Rhine Flows into the Tiber.
