We'll see... speaking from the inside of Georg Bätzing's diocese (Limburg), I see him as a kind of overreaction. Franz Kamphaus was bishop for a long time, a compassionate man who was always interested in contact with ordinary people. Successor Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst ("Bishop Bling") seemed distant, and spent tons of money renovating "his" buildings, including ludicrously expensive bath tubs, and a pond with Koi carps (it has been turned into a kind of museum since). And now Bätzing. For fun, here's the current top 5 news bits on the homepage of the diocese (https://bistumlimburg.de/):
- A man touring Germany on his bike and playing the piano, to collect money "for the climate"
- "Out in Church" - the church "should be in the front row waving rainbow flags"
- Help and solidarity for Ukraine
- Against abuse - information regarding rehabilitation and prevention

If they had included "racism," your Bingo card would have been filled.
The Catholic Church seems to be aggressively pursuing the agenda of the most crazed pant-suited nun in the West.
