Traugott Schächtele, the ACK chairman, welcomed Koch’s [enigmatic] suggestion, EKiBa.de writes.
Koch explained that the priesthood is currently [only in the New Rite] in a "great identity crisis". Regarding moral questions he said about Catholics and Protestants,
"Before, faith seemed to separate and action to unite us, today we are above all also divided in ethical questions".
