An interesting article in katholische.de
According to the chairman of the German Bishops' Conference (DBK), Bishop Georg Bätzing, there will be no female priests in the Catholic Church for a long time. "A woman as a priest—will I live to see that? It's going to be a close call," the 64-year-old Bishop of Limburg said in an interview with the magazine "Stern" on Thursday. The road to a female priesthood is still long. Nevertheless, the bishop emphasized: "I hope so."
