More Pressure: Marx and German Church for "Ordination of Women"

Cardinal Marx called again for [invalid] ordinations of women during a July 2 sermon in Munich's Liebfrauendom.

"I believe that the time is ripe that [the ordination to the diaconate] must and should be open to men and women." Marx calls such a fall into heresy a "renewal" and "great gift for the Church."

In the rich German church, Marx is not the only one who pushes for the abolition of the priesthood. On 29 June, Mainz Bishop Kohlgraf said it was "legitimate" to raise the "issue of women priests" in the universal Church. Kohlgraf feigned that today [= under Francis] he can openly express such considerations [= heresies] without being removed from office as if since Vatican II not Catholics but heretics are persecuted by the Vatican.

The German Conference of Superiors of Religious Orders (Orden.de, 3 July) declared that "many of us - including a large number of men - want women to be ordained".
