On 18 January 2020 Tschugguel protested alongside von Beverfoerde, retired Archbishop Viganò, Roberto de Mattei, and Gabriele Kuby in Munich, asking Pope Francis and the German Bishops' Conference for "clarity and coherence" and to end "dissimulation and deception" in the Catholic Church in Germany. The group organizing the silent prayer protest, acting under the name Acies Ordinata, included 130 members of Catholic laity from Germany, Austria, Italy, Brazil, Chile, Canada, and the United States.
