Speyer Bishop Wiesemann has appointed Tatjana Blumenstein, 53, a teacher of religion, to head his empty seminary. She runs it "together" with Canon Franz Vogelgesang, 61, in a "dual leadership" in which conflicts are inevitable. Vogelgesang is in charge of priests and deacons, Blumenstein of pastoral assistants, who have no place in a seminary. In 2022, Speyer's vicar general defected to the Old Catholics.
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
