A similar comment came from Bishop Franz-Josef Bode, the vice president of the German Bishops’ Conference. Recently, he stated: “I also assume that the door concerning the [female] diaconate is still open, after the statements of the pope.”

Pray for the Grace that our personal Faith remain strong and for the reform of the Church hierarchy.

Or put differently, he's sowing the wind. At some point in the not too distant future, we'll reap the whirlwind.

Start your own church.

Start your own church.

The Diocese of Erfurt ordained Martin Luther to the Catholic priesthood, so they have something of a pedigree in that department.

I’m okay with married priests but female. Look at how female clergy have decimated the mainstream Protestant denominations.

Let’s be honest, ordaining women at this time in history, irrespective of deacon status in the past, means a priesthood of lesbians, feminists and therefore culture of death.

Is this the “new paradigm”? When we eventually have a female pope, then abortion will be decreed the universal sacrament!?
