Passau, Germany, Apr 26, 2021 / 16:01 pm (CNA).
A German professor of theology and advocate for the ordination of women to the priesthood has come under criticism for claiming it was “racist” to oppose “equality” in the Church.
In turn, a bishop speaking up against her accusations has drawn the public ire of a German politician and former ambassador to the Holy See, who attacked the bishop for suggesting an open, considered debate.
Addressing a digital “women’s forum” organized by the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart April 17, Johanna Rahner said that anyone who did not advocate “equal rights for women” in the Church was a “racist”, CNA Deutsch, the German partner agency of CNA reported.
