Cardinal in Vienna promotes desecration of the Eucharist, Austrian Style!
Sausages cooking with the smoke wafting over the congregation, while
the priest performs his New Order in the vernacular. People sitting at
picnic tables, with food and drink being consumed, and cigarettes smoked
as the liturgy continues, then the crowd files up to receive communion
in-the-hand.
If you can understand spoken German, you might be fascinated with this spectacle:

I don't know how Cdl Schoenborn gets away with what goes on in Vienna. He seems to be a loose cannon and yet has a relationship with Pope Benedict that seems to give him some kind of immunity.
I believe he by birth is descended from Austrian noble family and he could claim the title of "Count/Graf" if he so chose.
The Germans and the Austrians still honor their former nobility. The Wittelsbachs, Bavaria's former royal family, are still immensely wealthy and get much respect. The Habsburgs also in Austria.

If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it. What a farce!
Surely, someone in the Vatican is going to step in here. I think there's a duty of the highest order to stop this.

If the clergy don't believe (in the Real Presence), why would the "faithful"?

This is utterly sacreligeous beyond belief. It's one of the most vile desecrations of the Holy Eucharist possible. If Cardinal Schoenberg allowed this, he has either lost his mind or his soul.
