Crossgate: Austrian Nuncio Castigates Cardinal Marx

Austrian nuncio Peter Stephan Zurbriggen sharply criticizes Cardinal Marx and German bishops for criticizing the use of crosses in public buildings

Vienna (kath.net)
On Tuesday, the Austrian nuncio Peter Stephan Zurbriggen sharply criticized the fact that bishops in neighboring Germany are attacking Bavarian prime minister Markus Söder because he is hanging crosses. He said: "You know, as a nuncio and representative of the Holy Father, I am already discouraged and ashamed that when crosses are put up in a neighboring country, it is precisely the bishops and priests who come forth to criticize this, that is a shame!”

Pretty annoyed about the behavior of some confreres from Germany, Zurbriggen then said: "This religious correctness is getting on my nerves." And again critical of the address of Cardinal Marx: "If they make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and are ashamed to carry the cross, for whatever reason, then it shames me too."
