Shrinking numbers of members of the “big churches” in Germany in accelerated form. The churches report an increasing number of people leaving the church. This applies to the Catholic Church as well as to the Evangelical Churches (EKD). While the main reason for the flight of members in the Church of Rome is the increasing number of cases of abuse of wards, the switch to secular issues seems to be the reason for an increasing number of members leaving the Protestant “soul guardians”.
In fact, the EKD is more concerned with migration, transgender, climate protection and ecumenism than with conveying the true and only gospel. What the “official” church proclaims from the pulpits and from the press rooms has only marginally anything to do with the message of Jesus. No surprise. The “runaway daughter of Rome” returned to her mother long ago and has since been working as a compliant ambassador of Rome (the “false prophet”).
Revelation 18:7: “How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.”
