German Bishop Ackermann: Women Deacons Will Come

Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, Germany, believes that the [invalid] ordination of women as "deacons" will come. Only "the timing" is still unclear, the homosexual activist told the agency dpa on Monday.

Bishop Ackermann assumes that the decision will not be made during Francis' pontificate. But: "Some things can happen quickly in the Church."

For him, the [invalid] female ordination would be "a sacramental and thus official reinforcement of the responsibility" of women in the Church.

Bishop Ackermann sees the Church in a "major process of change" in which there is "a lot of demolition".
