Protestants Show how women's ordination put their denominations in the lead. |
(kreuz.net, Sankt Gallen) Today the "official announcers of the good news from catechism to the small exception of women".
The Old Liberal Bishop Markus Buchel of Saint Galen said this for the newspaper 'PfarreiForum' -- the Old Liberal Pastoral Paper for about ninety Parishs in the Diocese of St. Galen.
Men are leaving the Church
As a child he would have been "not able to imagine that the first communion -- or instruction of Penance would ever have been handled by a woman and not a Priest" -- said the Prelate.
Now the women are dominant members today even in the various offices, in Sacristan or as ministers:
"One has forgotten very quickly was things were like earlier and how much has already happened" --- enthused the Diocesan Bishop.
For Msgr Buchel, woman make up the social work or instruction, of a supposedly "feminine Church".
For womens ordination he says, that will be less simple to accomplish than married priests. Because a woman's ordination has never happened in the Church.
The question of women's ordination is explained
Bishop Buchel wants "to seek steps", toward what is -- contradiction in the Gospel -- women's ordination.
So he could imagine that the non-existent "diaconate of women" could be such a step.
He needs for this -- publicly dissolved -- question, which could not be "with the others in a day", because of "a certain stubbornness".
In reality the Pope John Paul II († 2005)had already written infallibly on May 1994 in an Apostolic Address 'Ordinatio Sacerdotalis', that priestly ordination is restricted to men.
How long can the Church afford such bishops?
Actually, Msgr Buchel is only very hazy about this that the impossibility of women's ordination has been declared with dogmatic certainty.
He represents the fact as if "one" has "only a while" to await the suppposed women's ordination.
But "in the currenct society" the Church could "not take afford" to say that one "must not discuss such things" -- said the Bishop, distorting things.
In actually the Church in today's society can't afford office holders, who do not hold to the teachings of the Church or try to make them relative.
Women's ordination for the Swiss national Church?

Msgr Buchel would like questions like women's ordination not to be decided centrally for the whole Church.
This is the direction of the "world Church": "We should be in unity -- explained the Bishop and contradicted himself at the same time: "but not overall unity".
In other countries there are unities which "already haven't been any more" in existence.
The Second Vatican Council was described by Msgr Buchel as a "break".
After that there is supposedly a "restorative, clericalistic phase" to come -- he fantacized.
Bishop Buchel would like women "to be be encouraged", to take up and assume the priestly image of the decadent post-conciliar time.

Anyone who thinks that women were never ordained needs to study more carefully (a) the scriptures, for instance Romans 16:1 and (b) Church history, for instance Decree 15 of the Council of Chalcedon, 451 AD.
