“Together Around the Table”: German Catholic Initiative Invites Protestants to Communion...
GREATEST SORROW
"The greatest sorrow that smites My Heart, My
children, is the desecration to My Son's Body. These abominable acts are being
committed by His own in His houses, His churches upon earth.
"I repeat again that none shall bring the sacred
Body of My Son, His Body and Blood, to another but a legally-ordained priest
with consecrated hands. I say, My children, consecrated hands, blessed hands,
washed clean by the Holy Spirit! No man shall render excuses for defilement of
My Son's Body." - Our Lady, May 14, 1977
"My child and My children, you are all My children. I judge you not by color or race, and I do not judge you by your creed; however, should the knowledge of the One True Church be given to you, and the way to Heaven along the narrow road be given to you, you will follow it or you will be rejected." - Our Lady, August 21, 1985
ECUMENISM
"My Son, His heart is torn asunder by His
representatives in the priesthood who now are Judases in His own House.
They consort with the enemies of your God. In the manner of humanism and
modernism, and an ecumenism that has been designed from hell, man now is
plunging fast into making ready the full capitulation of My Son's Church
and the world under a dictatorship of evil.
"When the world and My
Son's Church becomes as one, when the evil men of the cross have sought
to destroy My Son within His own House, know that the end is near at
hand. I say unto you, as your Mother: as you sow, so shall you reap!"

Catholic Initiative in Germany invites Protestants to Communion; lay witnesses call it “heresy”
Ecumenism has gone wrong one more time in Germany and has escalated into denial of the truth about the Eucharist: in the German Diocese, Stuttgart-Rottenburg, an initiative by a Catholic theologian has invited Protestants to receive Communion on a large scale.
“Here on sight, we begin with a hospitable Church by inviting each other openly and cordially to Communion and the Celebration of the Last Supper [Abendmahl]” reads the “Ravensburger Manifesto” signed on October 8.
A press communiqué of “Kirche lädt ein” [The Church invites] stated that “[Eucharistic] hospitality between different Christian confessions is already a practice in many liturgical services. But officially the Catholic Church denies Protestant Christians access to Communion.”
In response, theologian Theodor Pindl initiated an event to help foster “hospitality.”
“From Separation to Sharing – Communion [Abendmahl] for all” was the motto of the initiative “Together around the table” in Ravensburg held on October 8.
160 tables spanning over 400 meters were set up between the Catholic and the Protestant Church, and were attended by people celebrating and sharing bread and wine together. About 2000 Christians took part, among them Catholic religious sisters, theologians, and pastoral workers.
It was supposed to be a symbolic gesture. But the “symbol” did not end there: An invitation from Catholic priests to Protestants to take part in Holy Mass and receive the Eucharist was paraded as the main message to overcome the “separation” that had endured since the reformation. Father Hermann Riedle, Catholic priest and pastor of Ravensburg, supported this initative. The organizers explicitly make reference to the fact that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, in 2005, had given Holy Communion at the funeral Mass for Pope John Paul II to Roger Schütz, the Protestant founder of the Taizé Community.
This ecumenical initiative goes back a few years: The decision for this event was made in 2013 at the so-called ‘Council of Ravensburg’, a Catholic forum for dialogue and ecumenism. Since November 2015, every first Sunday of the month a chain of people has formed to hold up a rope connecting the Catholic and Protestant churches of the city.
What began as a seemingly infantile game turned into horrifying reality. Invitations for Protestants to receive Holy Communion followed.
Spokesman of the group “The Church invites” and Catholic theologian Theodor Pindl wrote in October 2016 about the initiative that “denominational walls must be opened.”
“Participants want to express that the Catholic Church needs to approach the Protestant church. It is still forbidden for Catholics – regardless if married to a Protestant or not – from official Church authorities to participate in the Protestant Last supper celebration, despite the fact that Protestants invite them. And Protestant Christians – also regardless if married to a Catholic or not – are not allowed to receive communion, and cannot be invited.”
Yet for Pindl there remains a chance: “The praxis in many parishes actually looks very different,” commenting on the fact that in many Catholic Churches in Germany, parish priests let Protestants receive the Holy Eucharist.
Pindl points out what in his mind is a considerable problem and explains that it is a “paradox, that the Catholic Church punishes specifically those families who connect denominations, who try to live their faith conscientiously together.”
He calls for “active invitation instead of passive toleration.” Since it was the “welcoming spirit of Christ” that led him to “exclude nobody” from his table.
“The Church is not a prohibited area, but a house of the father.” And despite the prohibition from Canon Law, Catholics have to act differently: “There is nothing in the Gospel which would indicate that we can reserve the table for ourselves alone and to exclude others. […] The key word for this is hospitality.”
An eyewitness known to OnePeterFive, a Catholic lady living in the diocese, took her own a look at the event.
“I followed the tables along the road, and wanted to talk to them. Catholics betray their faith, their Church and the un-negotiable truth of the real presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the consecrated host. They do not want to hear what I say. … They advise me not to be dogmatical, not too conservative, and not so knuckle-headed insistent on truth. … [T]hey turn their heads away from my suffering,” explains the witness in a written account that was shared with OnePeterFive.
“My horrifying realization turned into a feeling of anxiety: What happens when lies win, when you speak truth with a few others and everybody stares at you? … It is frightening because the ecclesiastical heresy has entered an unholy union with society and politics. It is frightening to face a collective group which is unified by irresponsible shepherds under a banner that seems to be the Lord, but is not him but rather an image put together by themselves.”
“I walked away from the people,” added the eyewitness, “and went into His house, where no one sat. While bells rang the angelus and outside a prayer ‘of peace’ was prayed, I prayed the angelus. While outside the band plays music around full tables, I sat next to the high altar with the Most Holy Lord and sang the Tantum ergo in the presence of my Lord” (emphasis in the original).
This initiative is promoted by Catholics of the diocese and no word of criticism has been spoken by Bishop Gebhard Fürst. OnePeterFive has reached out to Bishop Fürst asking him to comment on this scandalous event and on the fact that one of his own priests participates in it. We will update this article, should we receive a response.
UPDATE – 10/14/2017: In response to our inquiry, the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart has provided a statement:
English Translation
“In principle, the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart welcomes ecumenical initiatives which strengthen the bond between the confessions and which sends a signal for the common social engagement.
When, however, when in the Ravensburg Declaration, there is to be found an “open and heartfelt” invitation “to Communion and to the Celebration of the Last Supper [Abendmahl]” to all without differentiation, then this is not compatible with the different laws of the Church. Also the Evangelical Church in Württemberg assumes in its regulation concerning participation in the Celebration of the Last Supper [Abendmahlsordnung] that, first of all, the invitation is extended to the members of their own church and to those other churches with which there exists an ecclesial communion; and when it accepts a decision of conscience of the members of other churches, it still refers back to the right of its own church. The open invitation to receive the Eucharist may, according to the Catholic understanding, only be extended to those who are in ecclesial communion with the Catholic Church; Protestant Christians (both male and female) may only receive the Eucharist when there exist certain preconditions and only in individual cases. A general invitation for all is not possible.
This ecclesial communion, however, is not being decided in Ravensburg; a single parish may not make such a declaration. It requires the persevering efforts from both sides, prayers, and the call upon the Holy Spirit. Such a decision may only be made on the level of the Universal Church.
The diocesan leadership therefore cannot identify itself with the initiative in Ravensburg.”
Original Statement in German:
“Grundsätzlich begrüßt die Diözese Rottenburg-Stuttgart ökumenische Aktionen, welche die Verbundenheit zwischen den Konfessionen stärken und ein Signal für das gemeinsame soziale Engagement aussenden.
Wenn in der Ravensburger Erklärung aber alle ohne Unterscheidung “offen und herzlich zu Kommunion und Abendmahl” eingeladen werden, dann ist das nicht mit den Kirchenordnungen kompatibel. Auch die Evangelische Landeskirche in Württemberg geht in ihrer Abendmahlsordnung davon aus, dass zunächst die eigenen Kirchenmitglieder und diejenigen der Kirchen, mit denen eine Kirchengemeinschaft besteht, zum Abendmahl eingeladen sind, und wenn sie eine Gewissensentscheidung der Mitglieder anderer Kirchen ermöglicht, so verweist sie diese doch auf das Recht ihre Kirche. Die offene Einladung zum Empfang der Eucharistie kann nach katholischem Verständnis nur an diejenigen ergehen, die in Kirchengemeinschaft mit der katholischen Kirche stehen; evangelische Christinnen und Christen können nur wenn bestimmte Voraussetzungen vorliegen und nur im Einzelfall die Eucharistie empfangen. Eine allgemeine Einladung an alle ist nicht möglich.
Diese Kirchengemeinschaft wird aber nicht in Ravensburg entschieden, eine einzelne Gemeinde kann eine solche Erklärung nicht abgeben. Sie erfordert das beständige Mühen von beiden Seiten, das Gebet und die Bitte um den Heiligen Geist. Eine solche Entscheidung kann nur auf weltkirchlicher Ebene getroffen werden.
Die Diözesanleitung kann sich deshalb mit der Aktion in Ravensburg nicht identifizieren.”
ROAD TO HELL
"Pastors in My House, you are scattering the sheep with your teachings, false teachings created by demons. You will bring a bloodbath to Rome. Turn back from your folly. Have you not now seen the results, the bad fruits that you have grown? The road to hell is paved by good intentions.
"We will not tolerate division in My Church. Satan knows to divide is to conquer. The captains always remain upon the ship, even when it is sinking. The strong, those with faith, shall bail it out, the ship, keep it afloat until help arrives from Heaven.
"All manner of heretics and unbelievers seek to enter My House, My Church upon earth. You must not compromise the Faith, for you will not win souls by lowering the standards. I gave you through the prophets the rule, the way, for I am the way, the truth, and the light!" - Jesus, March 18, 1978OPENED THE DOORS
"My children, the way has been given you. I am the way; I am the light. If you cast Me out of your life, you enter into darkness. And the prince of darkness is satan, the corrupter of souls, the master of deceit, the ruler of your world now! You have opened the doors to My Church, allowing all manner of evil to enter upon it. You have been deluded by error, and the rulers have given themselves to wantonness. Pastors, I say unto you: you are scattering My sheep. And I say unto you that I shall come and cast you out of My House." - Jesus, December 7, 1976"You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1978

TO DEGRADE
"The next abomination to My Son's heart—do not accept His Body in your hands, for some will seek to cast His Body in the holy water fountains, My child. For such is the work of satan, to degrade My Son's Body!" - Our Lady, February 11, 1971YOUR KING
"Why must you insult My Son? Can you not bend your knees? Is He not your King?" - Our Lady, November 21, 1970DESECRATION
"I cry also, My child, when I watch the desecration of My Son's Body. This desecration is being promoted by many who had been given the outstanding honor of representing My Son in His houses throughout the world, the churches." - Our Lady, December 6, 1974"YOU HAVE LOST FAITH"
"My children, My Son has been abandoned in His House. His Body, His beautiful Body is being desecrated by many. And the evil forces of darkness in human bodies, in the form of satanism and worship of the prince of darkness at black mass—they are desecrating My Son's Body, and why? You permit this because you have lost heart! You have lost faith! There is only a flicker of true faith left in your world, My children." - Our Lady, September 28, 1977STANDARDS OF HIS GOD
"Many questions arise, My child, about My Son's House. There is only one true foundation-that is the House of My Son with Peter as the first ruler and head, and now your Vicar, Paul VI. All others have protested against the law and rule and broken away. They must be returned to the fold. However, My children, you are proceeding along a path of delusion. You will not bring these souls back to My Son's House by changing to meet their standards. Man must change to meet the standards of his God!" - Our Lady, December 6, 1974JUSTIFIED RULINGS
"You must understand that none shall come to the Eternal Father except through My Son. You ask, My child, of the thousands of lives upon earth, those who do not accept My Son, what has become and what will become of them? If they have received the knowledge of My Son and reject Him willfully, they cannot be saved. Of course, My child, the Eternal Father is all-merciful; We cannot condemn, He cannot condemn the innocent of heart. However, there are rules of Heaven, too, justified rulings, that none shall see the Beatific Vision unless they come through My Son.” - Our Lady, May 29, 1976WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES
"I must warn you at this time, as your Mother, that you must remove yourself from this gathering of world churches. My Son has given you His true Church upon your earth. All others have left it, as they could not follow the rule. As protesters, they have cast side the truth.
"You must not compromise My Son's Church by bringing in the measure of humanism and modernism, for you have opened the door to satan.
"Do not be swayed by the fallacy that all will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, for only 'many,' My children, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven--if they follow the rule.
"In the coming Chastisement only a few shall be saved.
"I shall clarify my former statement, My child. You must remove yourself from the World Council of Churches. It has become an instrument of the adversary. There is but one Church, My children--the Church as set forth by My Son under Peter.” - Our Lady, September 13, 1975"YOU WILL LOSE SOULS"
"The clergy upon earth, in all denominations, cannot give themselves over for experimentation, change with errors. For many souls shall be lost to Heaven. Clergy in My Son's House in Rome, under the direction of the Seat of Peter, you must recognize that the world is closing in upon you, and you will die on the vine if you conform with it.
"Convert the unbeliever. All Heaven cries for conversion. Do not go forward with the delusion any longer that you will bring souls into My Son's House, His Church, by change. You will find you will lose souls, for a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it." - Our Lady, July 25, 1978ONLY TRUE RELIGION
"O My children, I will not go into a long discourse now with you about charity and love for your neighbor, but you must understand: you cannot judge your neighbor. You must pray for them. However, you cannot become weak and permissive. You must stand forth as bearers of the light, carriers of the truth. You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind." - Our Lady, September 7, 1978YOUR BIRTHRIGHT
"As in the past, rejection has been the start of a fallen man. Sin has become a way of life with many. You live in a delusion if you believe that you can offend the Eternal Father and then gain eternal life in the Kingdom. No, I say to you: many are called, but few are chosen.
"Ask and you shall receive, believe and you will be given the way. But you must merit the Kingdom. Your birthright was a start, but you must make your way to the Kingdom. Others may gain these graces for you by prayer and acts of sacrifice, but you will accept or reject the key." - Jesus, May 26, 1976ONE TRUE CHURCH
"My child and My children, you are all My children. I judge you not by color or race, and I do not judge you by your creed; however, should the knowledge of the One True Church be given to you, and the way to Heaven along the narrow road be given to you, you will follow it or you will be rejected." - Our Lady, August 21, 1985RELIGION OF THE CROSS
"There is only one religion that can save your country and all of the countries of the world: the religion of the cross and My Son's sacrifice upon that cross." - Our Lady, November 25, 1978SEPARATED BRETHREN
"O My children, pray much! We do not want to see a division in My Son's House. The Roman Catholic Church must remain one! But this does not mean, as the church of man states, that you will bring all manner of heretics and separated brethren in. No, My children, that is an error, a delusion from satan. You cannot change My Son's House and bring them in and change for them! They must change and come back to the original rule given by My Son and those who were with Him in the building of the foundation.
"I repeat, My child and My children: separated brethren must change. They have protested in the past; they have taken themselves away from the truth and the one true Church. They must reject the errors they have made in the past and come back and start again. They cannot bring their errors into My Son's House.
"You are opening the doors now for all manner of heretics, separated brethren. They do not come to unite in good spirit and heart; they come to take over. They seek to change you, O pastors, who are being deluded. And what do I see in My Son's House but separated brethren upon His pulpit! Even from the temples, the synagogues of satan, upon His pulpit! And for what?
"And who are My pastors now that have joined in this plan of destruction? Who ordained some of them? Not legitimate hands. They come to destroy. They come in like rats, burrowing, undermining My Son's Church! Do you think you are not watched? Are you above your Creator that you think you can deceive the world permanently? No, I say unto you! You are being given your time, for you who have given yourselves to satan are now exposing your true nature to the world." - Our Lady, March 18, 1977ESTABLISHED BY JESUS CHRIST
"There are many deceptions taking place among you, and one being the falsification of the manner of the salvation of souls. When I was upon earth, I established the rules and I gave you My Church, My House. However, now I watch as many have gone forward with itching ears and novelty, and they are setting upon the world a new religion." - Jesus, May 20, 1978WILL STAND
"Do not be deluded, My children, by the agents of satan among you in human form who preach doctrines of devils. The truth has been given to mankind through the ages. The Holy Roman Catholic Church of My Son will stand. The members shall be reduced to few. Only a remnant, My child, shall carry the banner Faithful and True. But the gates of hell shall fight a heavy battle against My Son's Church, but they shall not succeed." - Our Lady, May 14, 1977ONLY SANCTIFIED HOUSE
"Your children are wandering into the web of satan, going farther from the House of My Son. The truth is being removed from their hearts. They are setting among themselves groups. They shall not remove from their lives vows of My Son. As the only sanctified House upon earth, their souls will be destroyed when they are not given the Bread of living life. This Bread will only be obtained in the sanctified House of My Son. Satan seeks to remove the tabernacle from among you." - Our Lady, August 5, 1973
