Vatican sent no diktat on “rebel” parish priests says Schönborn ‘s spokesman

Vatican sent no diktat on “rebel” parish priests, Schönborn ‘s spokesman says - Vatican Insider:

Austrian bishops received no diktat from the Vatican ordering them to intervene against priests who form part of the Pfarrer Initiative. Confirmation of this was given to Vatican Insider by Michael Prüller, spokesman to the Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn.

Reports about the “explosive” letter which asked for “something to be done” against Austrian parish priests who launched an “Appeal to Disobedience” which Pope Benedict XVI openly discussed in his Holy Thursday homily, appeared on Austrian Catholic website Kath.net on Holy Saturday.

Cathcon- so what are you going to do, Herr Cardinal?  It is clearly a situation that cannot be allowed to continue.
