763<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(OSV News) &#8212; The new apostolic nuncio to Germany, Archbishop Hubertus van Megen, warned the country’s bishops against charting a separate course for the local Church, reminding them that Catholic unity relies on fidelity to the papacy and the Eucharist.</p>
764
765
766
767<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In his first address to the bishops Sept. 28, the Dutch prelate said the pope &#8220;safeguards the visible unity of this Church&#8221; while the Eucharist &#8220;leads the faithful ever deeper into that unity&#8221; with Christ at its center.</p>
768
769
770
771<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Together, they preserve the Church from becoming a mere federation of separate communities, or even an NGO with a Christian veneer,&#8221; he said, echoing warnings from Rome over recent reform efforts. &#8220;The office of Peter preserves communion in faith and ecclesial governance; the Eucharist brings this communion to its highest fulfillment in the Body and Blood of Christ.&#8221;</p>
772
773
774
775<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The German bishops&#8217; conference gathered in the central German city of Fulda for its annual fall plenary assembly Sept. 28-Oct. 1. Among the topics of discussion were the theological significance and impact of &#8220;Magnifica Humanitas&#8221; (&#8220;Magnificent Humanity&#8221;), Pope Leo&#8217;s encyclical on safeguarding the human person in the age of artificial intelligence.</p>

780
781
782<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conference said that the bishops would also discuss the investigation and handling of sexual abuse cases, adult baptisms in Europe, synodality and refugee issues.</p>
783
784
785
786<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before Pope Leo appointed him to Germany on April 9, Archbishop van Megen served as apostolic nuncio to Kenya.</p>
787
788
789
790<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In his address to the assembly’s opening session, the nuncio acknowledged political tensions in Germany after the far-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD, made electoral gains by securing unprecedented victories in eastern state elections.
790</p>
791
792
793
794<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The party, which has raised concerns over its ideology, anti-immigration stance and close ties with Russia, was explicitly condemned by the German bishops&#8217; conference in a 2024 statement, drawing parallels to the rise of the Nazi party and right-wing extremism in the 20th century.</p>
795
796
797
798<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The AfD, the bishops wrote, &#8220;oscillates between genuine right-wing extremism&#8221; and &#8220;right-wing populism.&#8221;</p>

805<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;We say with all clarity: racial nationalism is incompatible with the Christian image of God and man. Right-wing extremist parties and those that are rampant on the fringes of this ideology therefore cannot be a place of political activity for Christians and cannot be voted for,&#8221; the statement read.</p>
806
807
808
809<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Archbishop van Megen noted that &#8220;discussions concerning the future of the Republic, including those surrounding the recent elections, are at times conducted with great passion.&#8221;</p>
810
811
812
813<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Tensions exist that sometimes appear almost insurmountable,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It is not only the Church that finds itself in a time of crisis and upheaval; German society, too, is increasingly asking itself: Quo vadis? Where are you going?&#8221;</p>
814
815
816
817<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He also acknowledged that as the nuncio to Germany, &#8220;
817I live in a country undergoing a profound transformation that leaves many people unsettled.&#8221;</p>
818
819
820
821<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I myself am also only at the beginning of my ministry in Germany. I am becoming ever more conscious of how much I do not yet know or do not yet fully understand,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Over the past weeks, it has become clear to me that it will take time to genuinely understand the deeper spiritual and cultural currents of this country. Perhaps it is not even about understanding everything immediately.&#8221;</p>

931<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Archbishop van Megen said that while it is a &#8220;time of great transformation&#8221; in which &#8220;certain developments fill us with concern,&#8221; the Catholic Church in Germany must remember that &#8220;we do not walk this path alone.&#8221;</p>
932
933
934
935<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Precisely for this reason, we may look to the future with complete confidence,&#8221; he told the bishops. &#8220;Our hope is not founded on human concepts or strategies, but on the Lord, who guides and renews His Church.&#8221;</p>
936
937
938
939<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Where we remain in communion with Him, where we listen to one another, where we preserve unity with the Universal Church and the Successor of Peter, there the Holy Spirit can open up new paths,&#8221; the archbishop said.</p>
