Liturgical Change Sought “We see no contradiction be- tween National Socialism and Catholicism”, Pircher, who wears a Nazi party button, observed. “What we want, however, is a truly German Catholic church. “Our first demand, therefore, is | that the prayers, responses, etc.— in other words, the liturgy—be conducted in the German langu- age and not in Latin. We want our church to be closely con- nected with German life. Then why have the priests pray in Latin? “Secondly, we want a cardinal primate for all Germany from whom the entire Roman Catholic church in Greater Germany shall take its orders. Poland has a pri- mate, Hungary has—then why not Germany? “Thirdly, we demand that this primate shall have direct access to the Holy Father in Rome via a: permanent contact man in Rome. The Holy Father should be in- formed about German affairs through a German of the pri- mate’s choosing”.
