"German bishop claims that the question of female priests is still open"
lifesitenews.com
"Franz Jung, the bishop of Würzburg, Germany, who last year stated that married priests are 'conceivable,' claimed in a new interview with Bavarian radio station Bayerischer Rundfunk that the question of female priests 'remains still unanswered.'
As Vatican News reported, when Bishop Jung – who was made a bishop by Pope Francis only last year – was asked whether he would witness during his lifetime that women would stand at the altar, Jung responded, 'I do not know whether I will still come to witness it – but this question remains still unanswered. I think that, in the long run, this question cannot be rejected.'
Pointing to other churches, Jung stated that 'the time, since women are in (ministerial) offices, is also relatively short.' That is why, he added, the 'Catholic Church as a world organization' has to be given 'a little more time.'
'I assume that this question will continue to occupy us, and we will have to answer it one way or the other,' Jung explained. Young people, he says, are raising in their discussions with him personally the question of 'justice and participation' that lies 'beyond your own theological considerations.'...
In February, another German bishop – Gerhard Feige of Magdeburg – had said of the female priesthood that 'it is not convincing anymore to rigorously reject it and merely to argue with the help of tradition' and announced that, in spite of resistance in the Church, 'it will still come, however.'
Bishop Jung, shortly after his being chosen as the bishop of Würzburg, had already caused a stir by saying married priests are 'conceivable' and Pope Francis himself had opened up this very debate."
