Петиція адресована: SE Bischof Dr. Helmut Dieser (Bischof von Aachen)

Since the end of September 2019 Father Christoph Simonsen exhibits a cross that looks like an animal carcass is fixed on it, headless with 4 limbs, in his office of the City Church Alter Markt Moenchengladbach (Germany).

The disfigured cross is publicly visible - just behind the Father's office chair and separated from the interior of the church only by a glass door.

This representation of the cross-suffering God and Lord Jesus Christ has already provoked uprising among many Catholics. Neither Father Simonsen nor the Diocese of Aachen spoke out against this cross representation - on the contrary, this representation was appreciated as an object of art that was "valuable and indispensable" and would lead to "deep and reflected discussions of faith" with visitors. Statements were rejected by all contacted persons.

The diocese refuses dialogue and our bishop even seeks to protect these representations under a special concept of art!!

The permission of public blasphemous works of art in our diocese must be stopped. We appeal to our bishop Dr. Helmut Dieser, to exercise his ministry and to remove at once this shameful art and insult to God!

Therefore we ask for your signature on openpetition or by post (documents & address here: christus-rex.de)

Thank you and God bless you for your efforts!!
