The latest liturgical abuse from the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. The case centers on a Mass for the feast of St. Mary Magdalene, where Auxiliary Bishop Wolfgang Bischof delivered a "dialogue homily" together with laywoman Theresia Reischl, despite the Holy See's recent reaffirmation that the homily during Mass is reserved to an ordained minister. The celebration also featured liturgical dancing and balloons, further fueling criticism.
Theresia Reischl, who delivered a dialogue homily with Auxiliary Bishop Wolfgang Bischof of Munich during a Ballon Eucharist on 22 July, had previously co-led an ecumenical Valentine's Day blessing service on 14 February with a Protestant female preacher. During the service, same-sex couples also received blessings, and Deacon Thomas Kirchmeier stated: 'We have no problem with that; they are people in love.'
