Hateful Statements Against Committed Catholics Have Consequences
Edit: the following story appeared in several Catholic media outlets recently about University lecturer and Catholic journalist Martin Lohmann who was recently dismissed from a lecturing position because he does not agree with aberrosexuality.
Cologne (kathnews/CF) The famous Catholic publicist and earlier TV moderator Martin Lohmann is the President of the National Association for Defense of Life (BVL) and speaker of the AEK (Network of Engaged Catholics in the CDU). Officially he is active as the Chief Director of the Catholic private broadcaster K-TV. For years Lohmann has promoted convincingly and unshakably the value of marriage, the protection of the family and the right of all people to life, especially unborn children. This clear position has led to intolerant antagonisms and media attacks against this imperturbable Catholic. The "Cologne Express" identified him recently as the lecturer of the Munich based, private "Macromedia Hochschuler fuer Medien und Kommunikation" (MHMK) [Macromedia University for Media and Communication]. Hereupon, the speaker of the University made the following statement on Wednesday, February 6, 2013, which stated that Lohmann's criticism of the right of adoption for homosexuals in December of the previous year had caused intolerant consequences:
"Martin Lohmann is no longer a lecturer in Macromedia University for Media and Communication in Cologne. After his statements on "Hart aber Fair" in a broadcast of 12/3/2012, the academic directors of Media Management have decided to no longer retain him as an instructor. The University represents in its fundamental values, a human ideal, in which various sexual orientations are respected. They reject every form of discrimination. Herr Lohmann's position as an honorary advisor of the University will be evaluated at present." Lohmann pled in this talk show -- together with Christian journalist and housewife Birgit Kelle -- for the value of marriage between a man and a woman; both critics of the Zeitgeist defended the classical family as well as the Christian foundations of the ideal. Actually, what was earlier self-evident, turns today increasintly into a gauntlet against public opinion -- with draconian consequences, as the most recent exclusionary action against Lohmann documents.
"Funny enough" MHMK wrote the following in their homepage their own side: "The MHMK is the University, which reflects media wise today's and yesterday's society." -- Oho, that can make "tomorrow" more pleasant, considering how bleak things stand for the freedom of expression for conservatives.
So much for the much-praised "freedom" in our media Republic - specifically media dictatorship Germany.
Mention would certainly add that even the left-leaning "Kölner Express", a proven opponent of Lohmann concedes in its current summation:
"The students regularly carry out reviews of the 55-year-old according to the University have not yet been a negative."
But on professional performance on skill and reputation among students are not factors, it is apparently more important to be "politically correct", the opinion compatible with the zeitgeist, which may not in any way be "made sickly" by Christian principles.

Diocese Mainz: Father Jolie Regrets "rash and ill-considered actions"
Statement by the Diocese of Mainz on the discussion with Father Hendrick Jolie over his connection with kreuz.net: The public should respect clarifications and Father Jolie will not make any more dehumanizing statements in connection with kreuz.net. [Hopefully, he can make them with us.]
Mainz (kath.net) The Diocese of Mainz has published and offered a statement about its discussion with Fr. Hendrick Jolie because of his "relationship" to kreuz.net, that was participated in by a discussion with the Diocesan General Vicar Prelate Dietmar Giebelmann, Herr Canon Law Professor Micheal Ling and Personell Department Head Honorary Cathedral Chapter Klaus Forster. In the discussion the Diocese expressed the notion that Fr. Jolie had made contact with the (remaining anonymous to him) redaction of kreuz.net and contrary to earlier statements even offered texts to them.
The statement verbatim is as follows:
This concerns till today "current state of the church and judgments, indeed over ecclesiastical persons". To that extent, in conversation to assess the diocese of Mainz in the statement of 16 November confirmed the nature of the involvement of the pastor Jolie.
The representatives of the Diocese of Mainz have left no doubt that those contacts that have brought unacceptable violations to a number of people, even without formal involvement with other pronouncements by kreuz.net, are unworthy of a priest, and in addition to the persons concerned and have also damaged church.
Pastor Jolie has participated in the following the meeting with the representatives of the Diocese in a letter dated 23rd November to the Bishop of Mainz, Cardinal Karl Lehmann, and it expressed his regrets of "an unwise and imprudent action personally to great harm to the diocese, and for me". He has attempted to express himself using erroneous opinions, in serving the faith of the Church, and and sought means of expression, which are contrary to the Christian faith. He apologizes and asks for forgiveness. He wants to rethink his public witness and draw conclusions therefrom.
The Bishop of Mainz has accepted this request. He thanked the participants for their contribution to the call for clarification, but also Pastor Jolie for his willingness to critically reversal. He exhorts him to continue to deal sensitively with the public statements of any kind. The Diocese of Mainz offers pastor Jolie for any assistance.
The Diocese of Mainz asked the public to respect the clarifications after this conversation and not to associate Pastor Jolie with other defamatory, punishable and inhuman manifestations of kreuz.net. Therefore according to current knowledge, there is need of any further action.

Edit Note: Wow, it's a good thing Father Jolie wasn't selling pornography or trying to promote the Traditional Latin Mass!
