Cardinal Marx Doesn't Exclude Women Priests
The Archbishop of Munich, Cardinal Reinhard Marx is clearly holding unity with the Zeitgeist as more important than being true to the Faith. According to a report in KNA the Cardinal said on Wednesday at a talk on the faith at the Maria-Ward-School in Munich, if Jesus can call God "Father", it isn't to be understood sexually. As to the question if the office of priest is open to women, Marx told the 250 school girls: "Perhaps it is still not the end of the road, that we walk along together." He left the question open.
With that Cardinal Marx weighed against the Magisterium of the Church, according to which this is not an open question any more.
Above all, Pope John Paul II, explained in his Apostolic Letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis of May 22, 1994: "Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church's divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful."
