Pope Francis has criticized reforms suggested by a progressive German Catholic movement, which would include allowing women to become priests and permitting same-sex relationships in an effort to address dwindling numbers, the RT website reports today (November 8, 2022).
In February 2022, the German Catholic Church endorsed a list of proposals directed at the Vatican. The list included granting women a right to become priests, allowing priests to marry, blessing same-sex relationships, and reviewing the Catholic Church's teachings on sexual ethics.
The head of the German Catholic Church, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, called the celibacy rule "precarious," arguing that a right to marry would be "better for Catholic priests' lives and they wouldn't be so lonely."
