The Catholic Scout Association of Europe (KPE) is a Catholic Scout Association in Germany . She is a member of the Union Internationale des Guides et Scouts d'Europe (UIGSE). Within this umbrella organization there is also an Austrian association which bears the name Catholic Scouting Society in Europe - Austria (KPE-Ö) and which is close to the German organization.

Closely associated with the KPE the papal recognized and youth ministry instructed the Congregation of the Servants of Jesus and Mary (religious symbol SJM). The KPE participates in the Forum of German Catholics . It was assigned to traditionalism . She was accused of radical tendencies, which she portrayed as unjustified. Their assessment by various German-speaking bishops is inconsistent.

Presentation of the KPE

Content

On its website , the KPE describes its work as follows:

“With the scouting education we support girls and boys holistically. In this way they can become responsible, Christian personalities who develop their abilities and talents, shape their lives from the power of faith and take responsibility for society and the church. "

In its founding year 1976, the KPE had stated in its literature: "As lay people, we claim to found an association that is firmly rooted in the Church (...) and recognizes the texts of the last Council."

The federal regulation specifies five educational goals that the KPE wants to achieve with its youth work :

  1. Bodily development,
  2. manual dexterity and a sense for the concrete
  3. Formation of character and personality
  4. Sense of charity and service to others
  5. Sense of God and Christian education

Regarding the relationship with other associations, it is said that one “would like to maintain friendly and fraternal relationships with the other associations, leagues and movements of Christian and non-Christian boy scouts and boy scouts in order to be able to work together in the spirit of Baden-Powell and within the framework of its original educational concept to build a more just and fraternal society ”.

She states that she does not do any political youth work. In their documents from 1978 to 2017, however, there are statements on youth and other political issues such as school education, immigration, Germany policy, homosexual rights, globalization, gender mainstreaming and democracy.

Symbolism and costume

The uniform symbol of the KPE is a red Maltese cross with a golden lily in the center . In the middle of the flag, it occupies a vertical, halved background, white on the mast side and black on the flight side.

Girl scouts and boy scouts wear a light blue shirt, boys from boy scout level wear a shirt in khaki. Boys / men wear jacket trousers, girls / women jacket skirts, both in navy blue. The color combination of the scarf depends on the tribal affiliation. From the raider (inside) time, a uniform brown scarf is worn (in the color of the Franciscan order robe). Leaders wear the scarf of the tribe in which they work, the federal leadership can be recognized by the blue scarf with the European stars.

history

Historical processes that have primarily become relevant through controversy are also dealt with in the section on support, criticism and statements .

Since 1976

The KPE was founded on February 15, 1976. Its first members came from the German Scout Association Sankt Georg (DPSG), which, in their opinion, had neglected the classic scouting work and the Catholic life of faith. Instrumental in the start-up were Günther Walter and Andreas Hönisch , which at that time still a member of the Jesuit (later SJM).

In 1977 the Scouting Association was accepted as a full member by the Fédération du Scoutisme Européen (FSE), the predecessor of the UIGSE . On March 13, 1977, the KPE, Christian Scouting Association of Germany (CPD) and the German Scout Association (DPV) founded the German Scouting Ring (DPR), which saw itself as an alternative to the ring of German scouting associations and aimed to represent its member associations internationally. In 1996 the German Scout Ring disbanded.

Since 1980

In 1980 the UIGSE, the umbrella organization of the KPE, was granted advisory status at the Council of Europe as a non-governmental, international youth organization.

In 1984 she took part in the 1st UIGSE Eurojam near Châteauroux in France with 5,000 scouts and scouts.

According to his own information from 1986, KPE Federal Curate Andreas Hönisch had sent numerous young people to the Engelwerk who were striving for priestly ordination . The Order of the Cross is the only religious order he can recommend to the scouts of the KPE. In the same year, Hönisch discussed plans to found another religious order with Ingo Dollinger , the rector of the Engelwerk University Institutum Sapientiæ in Anápolis , Brazil ; Also present were the priests Heinrich Morscher and Richard Pühringer, who professed to be members of the Engelwerk . Both had also belonged to the Order of the Cross in the Engelwerk since 1985, from which Morscher separated again in 1988 (according to Heribert Bastel, Superior of the Collegium Sanctissimae Trinitatis in Mayerling ) and a little later also Pühringer (in his case for the time being until the beginning of his pastoral work for the Sisters of the Cross ) . On May 30, 1988, the Communion of the Servants of Jesus and Mary was organized.

In 1986, some groups left the KPE, accusing them of "extreme religious views", and founded their own scout association, the European Scouts Saint Michael . This was recognized in the Diocese of Würzburg on July 22, 1986 as a private association of believers .

Between 1981 and 1995 there were disputes about the youth work of the KPE in Petersdorf (Swabia) when Ingo Dollinger was the parish administrator in the Alsmoos district . The conflict became known nationwide and was discussed in public. In 2000–2012, four KPE members from the group were ordained priests in the local parish .

Since 1990

In January 1990 the KPE criticized the then common form of school sex education with its "unlimited treatment of this subject area" and the "'neutral' explanation of all contraceptives ." This constitutes "emotional rape of children". In such cases, the children could " only advised to boycott classes or to leave school immediately and to notify another educator or chaplain if the teacher starts doing so. You just have to have courage. ”At the same time, awareness-raising classes at the school were basically approved. It must be “held with great caution and cautiousness.” The goal is to “awaken respect for one's own body and the sexuality of people.” The main responsibility for educating children lies with the “parents, who are primarily called to do so are to take on this task. ”The“ modern enlightenment pamphlets ”at that time were not suitable for introducing this appreciation. So it went on: "If something like this is forced on you by the school, give it back or tear the stuff up!" With regard to a recommendation from the Ministry of Education in Stuttgart at the time, that of the pharmaceutical company Organon , one of the first manufacturers of Birth control pills, financed theater play "Longing for Bang Yai", the text stated that one had to get used to "that the democratic state burdens the conscience of some of its citizens to such an extent that resistance is at hand." Rejection of value-indifferent sex education and the assertion of an option not to attend school sex education classes, the KPE reflected the position of the Catholic Church. In Germany, compulsory schooling has been in force since 1919 , and the obligation to attend sex education lessons has been confirmed several times retrospectively by the Federal Constitutional Court and in 2011 by the European Court of Human Rights .

In the early 1990s, the KPE - represented by Fr. Andreas Hönisch - cooperated with 14 other Marian associations, including the Fatima World Apostolate, the Engelwerk, Radio Maria , the Servants of Jesus and Mary and others, in the initiative United Apostolate in the Spirit of Mary ( VAM). At the same time, P. Hönisch repeatedly warned against the distribution of the private revelations by Engelwerk founder Gabriele Bitterlich , which were kept secret by Engelwerk ; According to P. Hönisch, they included “dubious” and “problematic” things.

In 1991 Johanna Gräfin von Westphalen (1936–2016) took over the office of protector of the KPE, which she held until 2013.

In the Diocese of Augsburg , the KPE was recognized in 1992 by Bishop Josef Stimpfle (1916–1996) as an ecclesiastical youth community, since according to the decree its specific character was integrated into the fundamental goals of diocesan youth work. The following were mentioned: "Developing personality, building community in life and faith, exercising shared responsibility and participation".

In the same year, together with groups of friends, she initiated the “Augsburger Singewettstreit” as a cross-national event based on the model of the Hamburg Singewettkampf. Until 1996 the competition took place annually in the Augsburg Congress Hall. Various scout groups, Bündische and Wanderervögel took part in this event as musicians and visitors .

In 1994 her life was marked by participating in the 1st Euromoot of the ranger and rover level at Le Puy-en-Velay in France and participating in the 2nd Eurojam at Viterbo in Italy (7500 scouts).

In the same year the Südwestfunk broadcast the feature film Heaven and Hell for the first time ; the fictional plot should be based on events in the KPE. The authenticity of the film is questionable, however, as a punitive judgment by the Stuttgart Regional Court (Az. 17 O 190/96) was pronounced against the film producer and the relationship between the film and the KPE has not been allowed to be established since then. The Diocese of Augsburg also defended them in a press release and "emphatically opposed the allegations and allegations made in various media against [...] the young people in the KPE". Nevertheless, as a result of the film, she was massively attacked in the press.

In 1996, the Augsburg Singewettstreit was relocated to Würzburg, which is better located in terms of traffic, where it took place in the Würzburg Congress Center until 2005. The organization of the competition took over with the move of the pathfinder ring Bayern e. V., of which the KPE is a member.

Since 2000

In connection with the KPE, at the beginning of the 2001/2002 school year at the Auerbach secondary school in the Upper Palatinate, there was a conflict between the Auerbach school sisters and the Bavarian Ministry of Education , the Archdiocese of Bamberg and the other sponsors of the association, the Amberg-Sulzbach district and the city Auerbach, because teachers at the school had torn out 14 pages of the biology books approved by the ministry for the 10th grade on the subject of "Sexuality and Reproduction" and shortly afterwards the biology book for the 8th grade was also withdrawn. In the opinion of critics, this was used to exercise censorship . There were also reports on scary pedagogy in kindergarten, such as threatening hell punishments , dress codes for schoolgirls and connections between several members of the order and the Engelwerk. The KPE, according to the evening newspaper, the Engelwerk's youth organization, reported in 1994 that seven of its members had found accommodation as teachers at the school. After an intervention by Minister of Education Monika Hohlmeier (CSU) , the Vatican deposed the Bavarian provincial leadership of the school sisters. Six of the twelve nuns employed at the school left the school and were able to settle in their dioceses with the support of the former (arch) bishops of Salzburg and St. Pölten , Georg Eder and Engelwerk member Kurt Krenn . In January 2002 Eder compared the state measures in this matter with the methods of the Nazi regime ; the methods were the same and only the actors would have changed. He admitted "own good experiences" with the Engelwerk and denied that it was a sect. The Salzburg auxiliary bishop Andreas Laun also defended the conduct of the nuns concerned. The Bavarian State Parliament , however, welcomed the departure of the teachers who had emerged from the KPE.

On February 22, 2003, the KPE held the Neu-Ulmer Meistersinger singing and instrumental competition for the first time . Since then, the event has taken place every spring in the Edwin-Scharff-Haus in Neu-Ulm . Scout groups from all associations are invited to the competition.

In August 2003, the Holy See recognized the UIGSE, which also includes Protestant and Orthodox scouts, as an international private association of believers under papal law with a legal entity. The statutes were approved ad experimentum for a period of five years .

In the same year the Ancillae Domini community emerged from the KPE , a secular institute for women.

In the summer of 2004, the German Bishops' Conference distanced itself from the KPE, according to the ARD program Monitor . The editorial team received the answer that the KPE is not an “officially recognized youth association”.

At the end of 2004, two groups and three members of the Austrian federal leadership left the KPE-Ö there, because in their opinion the German association - in particular Federal Curate P. Andreas Hönisch SJM - had tried to gain greater influence in the Austrian organization. The part of the aforementioned federal leadership close to Hönisch remained in office and confessed to the German federal curate. The latter stated that he was "not aware of anything" of allegations that would have criminal consequences against SJM members; he also denied knowledge of a negative mention of the KPE in the sect department of the Archdiocese of Vienna . The only KPE group in the archbishopric is not led by the SJM, but by Leitner himself.

After 2004, KPE and SJM failed with defamation suits against the journalist Georg Restle before several courts in St. Pölten and Vienna. Restle had stated that he had found homophobic and anti-Semitic statements in KPE publications.

The 15th Bundesthing elected Martin Hafner as the new national field champion in April 2005. Günther Walter held this office from 1976 to 2005.

In autumn 2005, Andreas called Hönisch in an article of KPE's magazine Scouts Mary practiced homosexuality as "perverse" and "unnatural". He referred the evaluation in his text exclusively to homosexual acts, but not to homosexual persons; rather, he emphasized in the introduction that people should never be “pilloried”. In the same article, however, Hönisch literally quoted a report on the website kreuz.net about a demonstration in Lucerne, the author of which spoke of homosexuals as "sexually twisted" people. The text from kreuz.net also reported that counter-demonstrators had carried a sign with "Greetings from the tsunami disaster". The German Bishops' Conference declared seven years later (2012) that they had "always" distanced themselves from kreuz.net. Vatican Radio officially referred to kreuz.net as a source until November 2008 and withdrew in February 2009.

In April 2007, was Ibbenbürener Naturopaths Jürgen Richter, who in the KPE worked as a tribal field master and its treatment in early 2004 in the KPE magazine Scouts Mary "successfully tested" as had been referred to the District Court of Münster for violating the drug law and tax evasion sentenced to a prison term of three and a half years in the amount of around 900,000 euros . The judgment became final in January 2008 after the Federal Court of Justice rejected the appeal .

In 2007 the KPE co-designed the 2nd UIGSE Euromoot (3000 participants) in the Tatra Mountains and in Czestochowa .

In autumn 2007, Andreas Hönisch wrote that the goal of Freemasonry was world domination and that the main enemy of Freemasons was the Catholic Church. The increasing globalization tendencies in politics of our day would largely be borne by the Masonic lodges .

On January 25, 2008 Father Hönisch died, who had been Federal Curate of the KPE since the year it was founded. At the subsequent Bundesthing in 2009, Father Paul Schindele was elected his successor.

In September 2008 the UIGSE and its statutes were finally recognized by the Pontifical Council for the Laity after a five-year probationary period.

In April 2009 the Bundesthing of the KPE passed a new statute including additional federal regulations. This abolished the previous double structure of the administrative board and executive board. There remained a board of directors made up of the president, field master, federal master, treasurer, secretary and federal curate, who are elected by the Bundesthing for four years.

Since 2010

In 2011 the Bundesthing changed the Scout Law in four articles in order to adapt the German version to the official text of the UIGSE.

In October 2011, an article in the online magazine kath.net under the title Abuse of Power and Manipulation criticized the coordination office for the Pope's visit to Germany in 2011 in the Archbishop's Office of Freiburg under Archbishop Robert Zollitsch , because the office offered the KPE to itself when Benedict XVI . to engage in Freiburg, had refused. The local KPE group from Freiburg and 100 young people registered for the Papal Mass in Freiburg and took part in it.

On October 7, 2012, Martin Hafner, formerly the national field master of the KPE, was elected Commissaire Fédéral of the UIGSE, the European umbrella organization of the KPE.

In 2013, KPE members supported relief efforts after various flood disasters in Germany, for which Federal President Joachim Gauck thanked the scouts.

In 2014, Joachim Cardinal Meisner , Archbishop of Cologne, expressly welcomed the KPE to his archbishopric in a letter. He welcomed the commitment of the Catholic Scouts of Europe in the Archdiocese of Cologne and expressed his gratitude for this form of youth pastoral care.

In summer 2014 the 4th UIGSE Eurojam took place in Normandy with 12,000 participants, 450 of whom were KPE scouts. Pope Francis wrote in his greeting to this meeting: "You are the real protagonists of this world, you are not just spectators."

On February 27, 2016, she celebrated the 40th anniversary and the 60th anniversary of her umbrella organization UIGSE-FSE in the Edwin-Scharff-Haus in Neu-Ulm . Among the almost 1,000 guests were KPE employees from the early years such as Günther Walter, Edeltraut Wessler, P. Richard Pühringer CPPS and Gisela Scholtissek. In a greeting, Auxiliary Bishop Florian Wörner praised her for her loyalty to Jesus Christ . The national pilgrimage from 11th to 12th June 2016 was also marked by the anniversary and led to Retzbach am Main .

In April 2016, KPE held in Regensburg together with the Community Youth 2000 and the dogmatic theology professor Thomas Marschler from the University of Augsburg , the "KPE Spring Academy" on Development of Christian Doctrine . During the conference, Marschler stated that church teaching statements should be viewed in a historical context and the overall context of church teaching development should become visible. In doing so, accentuations in church teaching are possible, e.g. B. in the case of the Second Vatican Council. Furthermore, the limitations of human knowledge and language skills should always be taken into account.

In the same year the KPE accepted the scientific results of modern evolutionary biology . Under the title “Gender mainstreaming in the critique of modern biology”, the editorial team of the KPE magazine “Pathfinder Mariens” discussed a book by the evolutionary biologist Axel Meyer in detail and in some cases with approval . “Gender mainstreaming is based” - according to Prof. Mayer - “on a political ideology that largely ignores biological facts”. The article also quoted Mayer with the sentence: “In Germany, entire cadres of gender mainstreaming supporters have infiltrated our universities, parties and ministries in recent years. They also increasingly dominate public opinion ”. In the last paragraph it is mentioned that Mayer represents an “evolutionary worldview without a creator”; this is contrasted with the believing Christian "who knows himself to be in the loving hand of a creator God". In the same sentence "the results of modern biology" are again expressly affirmed. This position on the theory of evolution corresponds to the attitude of the Catholic Church, as it z. B. is formulated in the youth catechism .

At the Bundesthing in May 2017, the re-running members of the board of directors were confirmed in their offices in a secret ballot without dissenting votes, and the office of treasurer Stephan Hoffrichter, who was no longer in office, was newly filled.

After the KPE started the project “Missioning with More Courage (MMMM)” in 2012, in the context of which it encouraged its members to testify to their faith, the association was one of the first signatories of the Mission Manifesto in 2018 .

Organization and structure

Building the Confederation

The federal structure of the KPE is divided into three levels: federal, state and tribes. The KPE countries are based on the borders of one or more Catholic dioceses. Groups in regions without a country structure are linked in their organization to the structure of an existing country. The focus of the association's activities is in southern Germany.

The local groups are referred to as “tribes”, are gender-separated and divided into further small groups according to the various age groups. At every level of the federal government, the thing is the highest decision-making body (Bundesthing, Landesthing, Tribalesthing); it meets at least every two years.

The Bundesthing is the highest decision-making body of the KPE, whose tasks include electing the board of directors. All full members are entitled to vote. This includes the board of directors, all trained, active and recognized group leaders, the protector, all honorary members and all active and recognized curates of the KPE. Things at the national and tribal level are structured in the same way. A detailed description of its structure and organization of the KPE is set out in the statutes and the federal regulations.

Ages

The local groups of the KPE are divided into three age groups, each with an adapted educational concept.

  • Wolfling level: 8–11 / 12 years. Four to eight wolves form a pack, several packs make up a pack.
  • Boy scout level : 11 / 12-16 / 17 years. Four to eight girl scouts form a guild (for boy scouts: clan), several guilds / clans form a squad.
  • Ranger and rover level: from 16/17 years. Four to eight rangers / rovers form a round, several rounds form a clan.

At individual locations, the offer already begins for girls and boys under eight years of age with so-called elf groups, which are affiliated with the wolves' level.

General classification

The KPE is a member of the UIGSE international scout association, which has around 55,000 members in 19 countries. Joint meeting camps beyond the borders of their own country are part of the group life of the scout and ranger / rover level. The UIGSE has advisory status at the Council of Europe and is recognized by the Pontifical Council for Laity as an ecclesiastical lay organization. A uniform ceremony , scout costume , scout law and pedagogy unite all member associations of the UIGSE.

The KPE is spiritually looked after by the religious order of the Servants of Jesus and Mary . She is also a member of the Discussion Group of Spiritual Communities and Movements (GGG) of the Catholic Church in Germany.

Publications of the KPE

The national magazine of the KPE for all scouts of the association bears the title Die Spur . It appeared quarterly until 1996, and three times a year since 1997. The magazine Ad Mariam Europa is published especially for its group leaders and deals with relevant topics. It appears at irregular intervals. From 1982 to the 2nd quarter of 2017, the KPE published the quarterly magazine scout Mariens for friends and sponsors. The editions published before 2014 are no longer accessible online. It has been published every three years since the end of 2017.

Legal status

The KPE was recognized in Germany as a non-profit registered association and was allowed to accept income tax-exempt donations for the purposes of youth care and welfare . The donors were these grants from the income tax deposit (as of December 2017). According to the statutes, the association serves exclusively and directly to promote youth welfare. The exemption notice from the Lauterbach tax office dated June 5, 2012, which she falsely referred to as being last sent to us by the end of 2016 , still named "promoting the upbringing and education of children and young people according to the principles of religious life" as the purpose of the association; donations were used to "help us. " charitable, social and religious youth work ”. Since May 2017, referring to the new exemption notice from the Lauterbach tax office of November 3, 2015, only “promotion of youth welfare” has been stated as the purpose of the association, the purpose of the donation remained unchanged. Since December 2017 the purpose of the association has been "Promotion of youth care and welfare".

Support, criticism and comments

The work of the KPE was rated controversially by outsiders . On the one hand, it was recognized as a "place of learning in life and faith", its ecclesiastical meaning was certified and its charitable commitment was particularly emphasized, on the other hand, its Christian fundamentalism , anti-Semitism , homophobia , right-wing extremism and proximity to the Engelwerk were accused, which she portrayed as unjustified. Since the 1990s in particular , the KPE has been repeatedly criticized for its educational and religious orientation. From the 1990s there was an allegation that their catechesis contained apocalyptic ideas. In 2000, the office of the Hamburg Catholic Day, headed by Auxiliary Bishop Hans-Jochen Jaschke , forbade her to participate in the Catholic Day and forbade Hönisch to give a lecture to the initiative groups . The Catholic monthly Der Fels then heavily criticized the actions of the office. According to Der Fels, the first reason given was that the presence of Hönisch and the KPE could lead to strife, later it was said that it was not organized nationwide, and again later that no one had a legal right to be admitted to the Catholic Day program. According to the Catholic News Agency , the Kirchentag leadership has excluded the KPE because its work is in opposition to the educational and youth pastoral work of the German Scouting Association St. Georg and the Girl Scouting Association St. Georg . These are the only church-recognized scout associations in Germany; this had been expressly confirmed again shortly beforehand by the youth commission of the German Bishops' Conference.

With regard to the transmission of the faith, the KPE was accused of urging its members to participate in religious exercises, especially for Holy Mass and confession. According to a report by J. Wallner, the dogmatist Franz Gruber from the Catholic-Theological Private University Linz mentioned the KPE in a list of communities whose work, in his view, contained fundamentalist elements. The priest Paul Hüster , head of the office for youth pastoral care of the German Bishops' Conference, accused the KPE and the SJM in 2000 of "characteristics of a sect ".

1990–1992 the KPE cooperated with the Engelwerk and numerous other Marian communities in the United Apostolate in the Spirit of Mary (VAM) initiative , which was taken as an indication of its closeness to Catholic fundamentalist circles. The priest Richard Pühringer, a former member of the KPE federal leadership, was in the 1980s Donate of the Regular Canon of the Holy Cross , an order within the Engelwerk, and at the beginning of the 2000s pastor of the sister community of the order in Scheffau am Wilden Kaiser . Pühringer remained active in the KPE until at least 2016 and is regarded by it as a "veteran". SJM priest Karl Barton, consecrated to the title of the diocese of Anápolis , one of the main bases of the Engelwerk, celebrated his post-prime in 1993 in the Munich parish of Engelwerk priest Karl Maria Harrer , which in turn housed a KPE group. In the previous year, Barton and KPE members Anton Bentlage, Bernhard Spieß and Béla Horváth were ordained as deacons in the diocese of Anápolis. Horváth, who had meanwhile joined the SJM, left the community in February 2000. According to Lutz Lemhöfer, Weltanschauung commissioner for the Diocese of Limburg under Bishop Franz Kamphaus , in 2001 there were occasional anti-Semitic statements in the KPE's writings.

In the autumn of 2003, the then federal field master Günther Walter referred in an article to the anti-Semitic book Die Frankfurter Schule and its corrosive effects by the NPD politician Rolf Kosiek , published by Hohenrain Verlag . In a 2004 monitor broadcast , Hans-Gerd Jaschke from the Berlin School of Economics and Law stated that he had found references to Christian fundamentalism, ethnic nationalism and anti-Semitic allusions in KPE publications . He was referring to the KPE magazine pathfinder Mariens , in which the Weltenburg old abbot Thomas Niggl OSB , a member of the Engelwerk, had claimed as a guest author on the subject of demographic change in the spring of 2003: “One cannot doubt that the German people is seriously threatened in its biological-ethnic existence and in its cultural religious identity ”. Jaschke explained: "One must clearly emphasize that the latter two parts [...] are congruent with modern right-wing radicalism". In the same article, Niggl disseminated theses of the right-wing extremist German study community , which he praised as "valuable suggestions". In the program, previous and then members also expressed themselves.

On March 7, 2017, Günther Walter explained, referring to the incidents of 2003, that the reference to Kosiek had got into the text due to his negligence. He only read parts of the book; In his opinion, the chapter on the history of the Frankfurt School contained a few pages with “interesting factual information”; the author's background was unknown to him. The article by Niggl was taken over by the editorial team in 2003 because of time pressure without checking the content and in ignorance of the German study community. Walter apologizes to the KPE and the readers of the Scouts of Mary and expressly distances himself from right-wing extremist and anti-Semitic ideas. In the said Walter chapter Kosiek took several times for incitement convicted Holocaust deniers Udo Walendy into custody and referred to the serious historical research as "re-education prevailing opinion." The website of the German Study Association, which identified Rolf Kosiek as a member of its executive committee, was online as early as 2001; the 2001 report on the protection of the constitution, which has been available on the Internet since 2002, mentions Kosiek's book under “Right-wing extremist efforts”.

At the end of 2011, the KPE took a position on the various allegations. Your federal management expressly distanced itself from right-wing extremist ideas and anti-Semitism. In religious questions, special doctrines that deviate from the general doctrine of the church are fundamentally rejected for them, as well as pressure and coercion as pedagogical methods of conveying the faith. Connections to the Engelwerk - both organizational and content-related - were emphatically denied. The accusation of anti-Semitism had previously been confirmed by a court in Vienna and taken up again by the German news magazine Der Spiegel along with the classification of the KPE as “fundamentalist”.

The political scientist Andrea Röpke , who specializes in right-wing extremism, wrote in 2011 about the Bundische Jugend : “There, too, the Freibund - Bund Heimattreuer Jugend eV , the ' German Guilds ' and the 'Catholic Scouts of Europe' are displeased because of their right-wing orientations. Together with the petrel , these groups are said to have around 4,000 followers. "

The positions of the bishops united in the German Bishops' Conference on the KPE have so far been inconsistent. In 1992, the Augsburg Bishop Josef Stimpfle recognized the KPE as a “church youth community” in his diocese. In 1995 the youth welfare office of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising warned of the unification; Children and young people were made into willing tools for their educators. In May 2017, the departing head of the same youth welfare office praised the work of the KPE: Daniel Lerch, Diocesan President of the BDKJ in the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising under Cardinal Reinhard Marx , had been in contact and exchange with the KPE since 2006. Looking back, he emphasized that he very much appreciated the work of the “KPE groups in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising”; the groups are “places where children and young people can experience the Christian faith as an enrichment and thus develop a personal relationship with Christ”. From his personal experience, he reported that parents would “very much appreciate the youth work of the KPE as a complement to their upbringing”. The DBK declared in 2004 that the KPE was not an “officially recognized youth association”.

There were signals of benevolence and recognition from several German-speaking bishops, including Kurt Krenn in the Diocese of St. Pölten , Joachim Meisner and Klaus Dick in the Archdiocese of Cologne , Gregor Maria Hanke OSB in the Diocese of Eichstätt , Walter Mixa , Konrad Zdarsa and Florian Wörner in the Diocese of Augsburg and Athanasius Schneider ORC, auxiliary bishop in the Diocese of Karaganda (since 2011 Archdiocese of Astana ), an Engelwerk member. A signal of recognition from Schneider, who ordained three KPE members to SJM priests in Lower Austria in 2008, was that the KPE-related SJM congregation announced a chorale ministry by Schneider at the pilgrimage site Altötting in the order's own information sheet under the heading Dates . The website was operated by Paul Schindele, General Superior of the SJM and former KPE Federal Curate. The Engelwerk was or is present in all of the aforementioned dioceses, in Augsburg even before the KPE was founded.

Further supporters of the KPE were: Johannes Dyba in the Diocese of Fulda , Matthias König in the Diocese of Paderborn , Stefan Zekorn , Auxiliary Bishop in the Diocese of Münster , Archbishop Georg Gänswein and Archbishop Peter Zurbriggen . Florian Wörner, auxiliary bishop of the diocese of Augsburg and head of the youth welfare office there, declared in February 2013 on the occasion of a meeting with the KPE: “I see my coming [...] as an expression of my appreciation for your work. In my role as head of the episcopal youth welfare office, I have found the cooperation with the KPE to be extremely good and transparent over the past seven years. It was an open and good togetherness. The KPE has made a very positive contribution to the various areas of diocesan pastoral care. ”The auxiliary bishop acknowledged that KPE members also participate in various initiatives outside of their own association structure, such as B. Nightfever engaged in the diocese.

Cardinal Walter Brandmüller donated the ordination to the priesthood of KPE member Tobias Christoph SJM in September 2012 on the Sonntagberg . The St. Pölten Bishop Klaus Küng , a member of Opus Dei , encouraged the members of the KPE in the summer of 2013 to attract many young people to their groups. The stages of scout education are "something that God gives you so that you can become effective [...] where you work, where you are". Küng ordained several KPE members as SJM priests. Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI. , in 2003, before his election as Pope, expressly praised the KPE and recommended all support: "The youth work in the KPE is on the whole to be assessed positively and gives many young people a solid foundation for their path in life".

Since 1995, several former KPE members have expressed disapproval and warnings about their former community.
