Fr Bertram Meier has been named as the new bishop of the Diocese of Augsburg in Germany.
I have been closely following the “Synodal Way” on the German bishop’s website, and I am pleased as I believe that this newly appointed bishop is theologically and morally orthodox.
This link is an interview with the to-be bishop:
Translation of part of the article:
"The appointed bishop of Augsburg, Bertram Meier (59), considers priestesses in the Catholic Church to be unrealistic. “We are reaching limits at the women’s office,” Meier told Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) on Thursday. “Pope John Paul II said very clearly in the mid-1990s that it was finally decided that women should not be ordained priests. We cannot do it in a special German way”.
This shows that the new bishop, as far as I know, seems to be orthodox and dedicated to upholding the faith in Germany.
I have great trust in the Holy Father to remove the unorthodox beliefs that are guiding the synodal way, and I believe that the appointment of this bishop may be part of the Holy Father’s trying to remake the German hierarchy and remove heterodoxy from it.
